Density Functional Theory and Molecular Docking Investigations of the Chemical and Antibacterial Activities for 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one.

ABSTRACT: The present investigation informs a descriptive study of 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) -3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one compound, by using density functional theory at B3LYP method with 6-311G** basis set. The oxygen atoms and π-system revealed a high chemical reactivity for the title compound as electron donor spots and active sites for an electrophilic attack. Quantum chemical parameters such as hardness (η), softness (S), electronegativity (χ), and electrophilicity (ω) were yielded as descriptors for the molecule's chemical behavior. The optimized molecular structure was obtained, and the experimental data were matched with geometrical analysis values describing the molecule's stable structure. The computed FT-IR and Raman vibrational frequencies were in good agreement with those observed experimentally.
