Quantum chemical calculations are well-equipped to provide answers to the questions regarding the different aspects of intermolecular interactions. We investigate the benzene, ethanol and 1,2 propanediol ternary mixture with theoretical as well as experimental UV-Vis spectroscopy. An extensive theoretical study on the molecular structure and UV-Vis spectral analysis was undertaken using density functional theory (DFT) method. Structural parameter analysis and the HOMO-LUMO (highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy gap help to describe the possible interaction between molecules in dimer and in combination. Interaction energy has been calculated from topological study. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations on dimer/cluster in gas phase help to understand the effect of the molecular interaction on the overall spectral shift and related intensity variation. Our results show that in the ternary mixture, the interaction energies of the interactions are pi-pi interaction: 0.52-2.57 kcal/mol, Hp-pi interaction: 1.15 kcal/mol and H-bonding: 2.49 to 4.46 kcal/mol. The pi-pi interaction and H-bonding cause red shift in absorption spectra while Hp-pi interaction causes blue shift. In the ternary mixture, the strength of different kinds of interaction depends on the concentration, and as each interaction has its own effect on spectral shift, the overall experimental spectra get broader and distorted from the Gaussian shape.
