Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to investigate the molecular structure, atomic charge and global reactivity descriptors of
benzodiazepines such as EHOMO, ELUMO, ΔE(L-H), ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, molecular hardness, dipole
moment and shapes, were determined and used to identify the stability and reactivity of benzodiazepines. The optimized geometry and these
parameters were obtained by Ab initio Restricted Hartree Fock (RHF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods in gas phase and in
aqueous phase with complete relaxation in the potential energy surface using the 6-31G basis set. Theoretical values are compared with the
experimental data... Read More»
