As a result, the HartreeFock part, which constitutes a larger
fraction of the exchange energy, is treated exactly as the
electronelectron distances increase. It is this correction that gave
improved molecular susceptibilities.
These nding necessitated the use of both the traditional
(B3LYP) and the long-range corrected functionals (e.g. CAM-
B3LYP and xB97XD) in this DFT study. Our objective here is to
judge the advantage of these methods in evaluating the optical
properties of cis-NPBHA tautomers.
2. Methods of calculations
All calculations were performed using the Gaussian 09W
package [25]. The traditional hybrid Becke, three-parameter,
LeeYangParr (B3LYP) exchange correlation functions of the
Density Functional Theory (DFT) and the long-range-corrected
CAM-B3LYP and xB97XD functionals were applied using the split
valence triple zeta [6-311+G

Calculations of the excited states of the enol and keto isomers
were performed using time dependent Density Functional Theory

basis set.
3. Results and discussion
3.1. Structural and thermodynamical features
Fig. 3.1 depicts the labeling scheme and the optimized bond
lengths of the keto and enol forms of cis-N-phenylbenzohydroxa-
mic acid (NPBHA) using B3LYP/6-311+G
level of theory.

the keto tautomer. The signicance of the length of the intramolec-
ular H-bonds in these two cases will be discussed later. Apart from
H3 and H5, the dihedral angles of the two tautomers do not ex-
ceed a deviation of 1.2. H3 measures the coplanarity of one of
the six-membered rings with the intramolecularily cyclized ve-
membered ring, where the two rings in the keto form deviate from
coplanarity by 4.4 compared to those of the enol tautomer. h5
indicates the coplanarity of the two benzene rings in cis-NPBHA
which are nearly coplanar in the enol form (4 < h5 < 8) and with
a considerable deviation from planarity in case of the keto counter-
part (12 < h5 < 20).
To assess the effect of the three functionals (B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP
and xB97XD) on the optimized geometrical parameters of cis-
NPBHA enol and keto forms, one can cultivate the following obser-
vations: (a) the traditional hybrid functional B3LYP gave relatively
longer bond lengths of ca. 0.01 compared to those obtained from
the long-range corrected functionals (CAM-B3LYP and xB97XD)
(b) the two long-range corrected functionals yielded comparable
bond lengths (c) there was no general trend for all dihedral angles
and the differences between them as a result of implementing the
functionals did not exceed 1 for h1, h2 and h4; but h3 opened by
ca. 3 when using the long-range corrected functionals as com-
pared to the traditional one. As for h5, xB97XD gave smaller values
of ca. 7.28(keto) and 2.63(enol) compared to those due to B3LYP
which in turn yielded comparable values to those of CAM-B3LYP
functional.
The B3LYP/6-311+G
, CAM-B3LYP/6-311+G
and xB97XD/6-
311+G
values of DE, DH, DG, DS and K for the two isomers are
listed in Table 3.2. Comparing the results from the three DFT func-
tionals one can assess their effect on the relative stability of cis-
NPBHAketoandenol forms. It is obvious that all three functionals fa-
voured the keto form at all temperatures. This is indicated by the
negatives values of DG and the positive values of DS. It is clear also
that DG is dominated by DH with little contribution from TDS of
5.75% when using B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP and 8.21% for xB97XD
functional. The long-range corrected functionals increase DE, DH
andDG by not less than1.5 kcal/mol comparedtothose due the tra-
ditional hybridfunctional. The values of the equilibriumconstant (K)
suggest that the equilibrium concentration of the keto form is over
6.08 10
8
times that of the enol form. Inaddition, Kis very sensitive
toDG andachangeof 1 kJ/mol at 273.15 K, as aresult of implement-
ing B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP functionals, increased the value of K by a
factor of 3; anda factor of 2whenapplying CAM-B3LYP andxB97XD
functionals.

Cioni [10] using MP2 and DFT methods at 6-31G(d) basis set
has imputed the relative stability of cis- NPBHA form, over that
of the trans one, to the possibility of the formation of an intramo-
lecular H-bond in the former. Senthilnithy et al. [11] have reached
the same conclusion when they studied the isomers of NPBHA acid
derivatives in both gas phase and water media using Complete
Basis Set method (CBS-QB3). Our NBO studies of the two tautomers
(keto and enol) of the most stable cis-NPBHA form have not only
agreed with their conclusions but also suggested that the intramo-
lecular H-bondings are not the only source. It can be seen from
Table 3.3 that the intramolecular H-bondings (n
2O10
!r
O8H22
)
are quite substantial (7.62 and 19.00 kcal/mol for the keto and enol
forms respectively); nevertheless, they are denitely not the major
source of the cis form preference. There are other extremely aug-
mented hyperconjugative interactions (r
C1C4

C7C8
giving
30.22 and 1.76 kcal/mol and n
2O8
!r
C7N9
yielding 22.82 and
49.49 kcal/mol for the keto and enol tautomers respectively) for
cis-NPBHA form, which are largely subdued for the trans
counterpart.
As for the origin of the stability of the keto tautomer over that of
the enol counterpart, it is apparent that the interactions of the two
lone pairs of the oxygen atom (O8) with the C7N9 and C4C7
bonds (n
1O8
!r
C7N9
, n
2O8
!r
C4N7
and n
2O8
!r
C7N9
) favour
the enol formby 14.01 kcal/mol; while the lone pair of the nitrogen
atom (N9) interactions with the C7O8 and C11C15 bonds
(n
1N9
!r
C7O8
and n
1N9
!r
C11C15
) support tremendously the
keto form stabilization by more than 51.83 kcal/mol. On the one
hand, the vicinal interactions between the anti-bonded C1C4
and C7O8 bonds with the anti-bonded C7O8 bond
(r
C1C4
!r
C7C8
and r
2C7O8
!r
1C7C8
) yielded subtotals of
58.41 and less than 2.26 kcal/mol for the keto and enol forms
respectively. On the other hand, the anti-bonded C7N9 bond
interactions with both anti-bonded C4C5 and C11C15 bonds
lead to the stabilization of the enol form by more than 43.7 kcal/
mol. The outcome of these major electronic delocalizations has
led to the preference of the keto form by more than 50.27 kcal/
mol. Due to the extensive electronic delocalizations in both tau-
tomers of cis-NPBHA; it would be difcult to pinpoint a specic
hyperconjugative interaction as being the origin of preference of
one tautomer over the other. Hence a comprehensive insight into
the entire delocalization scheme might be an appropriate ap-
proach. In a nutshell, the nitrogen atom lone pair interactions with
anti-bonding C7O8 and C11C15 bonds and the coupling of the
anti-bonding C1C4 and C7O8 bonds with the anti-bonding C7
O8 bond could be considered the major sources of the keto
preference.
It is worth mentioning that the enol form stronger intramolec-
ular H-bonding (19.00 kcal/mol) and a relatively weaker keto tau-
tomer H-bonding (7.62 kcal/mol) have been reected in a shorter
H O bond of 1.714 for the former and a slightly longer bond
of 1.869 for the latter. The oxygen atom lone pair strong hyper-
conjugative interactions with the C7N9 bond (54.28 kcal/mol)
shortened this bond by ca. 0.045 in the enol form relative to its
length in the keto counterpart. That is, it has acquired a double
bond character. In contrast, the nitrogen atom lone pair strong con-
jugations with C7O8 bond (39.37 kcal/mol) have forced it to con-
tract (assuming an sp
2
hybridization) by ca. 0.092 in the keto
tautomer against its length in the enol form.

value compared to those approximated by the LC-DFT functionals.
Fig. 3.2 shows that the electronic distribution of the HOMO of the

uted 49.49 and 22.82 and 36.03 and < 0.5 kcal/mol for the enol
and keto forms respectively. The stronger H-bonding delocaliza-
tion of 19.0 kcal/mol in the enol form compared to 7.62 kcal/mol
for the keto tautomer further favours the extremely larger b

val-
ues of the former.

mental [36] studies have conrmed this relationship between the
total hyperpolarizabilities and HOMOLUMO energy gaps. The link
between these two parameters can be interpreted in terms of the
endurance of charge transfer interactions, leading to higher hyper-
polarizabilities, being favoured in molecular systems having lower
HOMOLUMO energy gaps.
The NLO activity of molecules could also be shown by good
absorption and emission characteristics which can be achieved by
using TD-DFT method to compute excited state properties [37,38].
Therefore, we carried out TD-DFT B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP and xB97XD
functionals at 6-311+G

levels of theory. They are all listed in Table 3.4. The results of the
two systems using the matching levels of theory (CAM-B3LYP/6-
311+G
and xB97XD/6-311+G
level
have attributed the origin of the keto form stability preference
mainly to the nitrogen atom lone pair vicinal interactions with r
anti-bonding C7O8 and C11C15 bonds. They also assigned the
larger b
tot
values of the enol tautomer to the oxygen atom lone pair
vicinal interaction with the CN r anti-bond. The calculated
absorption maxima, dipole moments and HOMOLUMO energy
gaps are nicely correlated with the b
tot
values.
