Abstract
In this work, the azo dye, (E)-1-[5-(3,4-dimethylphenyldiazenyl)-2-hydroxyphenyl]ethanone, has been synthesized and characterized by IR, and X-ray single-crystal determination. In the theoretical calculations, the stable structure geometry of the isolated molecule in gas phase was investigated under the framework of the density functional theory (B3LYP) with 6-31G (d, p). To designate lowest energy molecular conformation of the title molecule, the selected torsion angle was varied every 10° and the molecular energy profile was calculated from -180° to +180°. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) analysis, and thermodynamic properties were described from the computational process. In addition to these calculations, we were investigated solvent effects on the nonlinear optical properties (NLO) of the title compound.
