A novel HBLC binary mixture was designed and optimized using DFT and TD-DFT calculations. The vibrational IR assignments of the binary mixture were compared with experimental FTIR and validated. Molecular electrostatic potential analysis and NBO study provided insights into the charge distribution, chemical reactivity, and intermolecular interaction. HOMO and LUMO study revealed charge transfer phenomena between the two compounds. Topological studies confirmed the presence of strong hydrogen bonding.
Novel hydrogen bond liquid crystal (HBLC) binary mixture is designed and optimized through density functional theory (DFT) calculation and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). HBLC binary mixture is derived from mesogenic compounds of liquid crystalline 4-methoxycinnamic acid (4MCA) and 4-hexyloxyben-zoic acid (6OBA). Theoretically predicted vibrational IR assignments HBLC binary mixture is compared with experimental FTIR and validated. TD-DFT calculation is used to identify electronic absorption spectrum of HBLC binary mixture. Molecular electrostatic potential analysis explores the electrophilic/nucleophilic charge distri-bution and chemical reactivity of binary mixture, whereas natural bond orbital (NBO) study discloses the possible intermolecular hyper-conjugative interaction. HOMO and LUMO study shows charge transfer phe-nomena between 4MCA and 6OBA compounds. Further, Topological studies confirm the strong hydrogen bond between 4MCA and 6OBA. It is identified as the 7C-7C stacking of the aromatic part of carboxylic acid plays an important role in the improved phase stability of mesophases.
