Abstract
In the present study, the title compound named as (E)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(4-iodophenyl)prop-2-en-one was synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with P2(1)/c space group with the unit cell parameters of alpha = 16.147 (2) <(A)over dot>, b = 14.270 (2) angstrom, c = 5.9058 (9) angstrom,ss = 92.577 (3)degrees and Z = 4. The molecular geometry obtained from X-Ray structure determination was optimized by Density Functional Theory (DFT) using B3LYP/6-31G+(d, p)/Lanl2dz(f) method in the ground state. The IR spectrum was recorded and interpreted in details with the aid of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and Potential Energy Distribution (PED) analysis. In order to investigate local reactivity properties of the title molecule, we have conducted DFT calculations of average local ionization energy surface and Fukui functions which were mapped to the electron density surface. In order to predict the open air stability and possible degradation properties, within DFT approach, we have also calculated bond dissociation energies. H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra were recorded and chemical shifts were calculated theoretically and compared with the experimental values. In addition, in vitro antimicrobial results show that the title compound has great potential of antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Micrococcus luteus bacteria and antifungal activity against Candida albicans in comparison to some reported chalcone derivatives. Antioxidant studies revealed the highest metal chelating activity of this compound. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
