The application of reactivity parameters derived from density functional theory in a local sense, particular the softness and Fukui function, to interpret predict mechanisms various organic reactions has been discussed. Local is shown be successful determining site-selectivity regiochemistry can used as an alternative traditional frontier orbital theory.

The dependence of critical micelle concentration (cmc) sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (AOT) on the amount ethylene glycol (EG) in water + EG medium was reported to be unusual and different from that other surfactants extent cmc AOT is lower than water. It yet understood why behaves so medium, although known have some special properties. Hence present study range 0 100% (by weight) measured by using surface tension fluorescence emission methods. In contrast what reported, this revealed with...
Density functional theory has been used with different combinations of exchange and correlation functionals to study the proton affinities six organic molecules, namely H2CO, CH3CHO, CH3OH, C2H5OH, HCOOH, CH3COOH. Complete geometry optimizations have carried out for both neutral protonated species all functionals. The affinity values are then compared corresponding experimental values. It observed that combination Perdew's Becke's exchanges Proynov's is most effective in reproducing affinity.

Abstract The optimized geometry of isolated trimethylamine (TMA), its hydrogen bond complexes with phenol derivatives and protonated TMA is calculated at the B3LYP/6‐31++G(d,p) level. A natural orbital (NBO) analysis on these systems carried out same level theory. In TMA, one CH in each three CH 3 groups more elongated than two other ones. As revealed by NBO data, this results from a hyperconjugative interaction N lone pair to σ*(CH) orbitals bonds being transoid position respect pair....
