Pesticidal compound Pirimicarb: Spectral analysis, DFT computations, molecular docking study and in vitro bioactivity
In structural conformation, lowering of bond angles is due to the charge transfer from pirimidine ring through carbonyl group to the dimethylamino group. Downshift of 24 cm(-1) in FT-IR due to the change from the ground state to the intramoleclar charge transfer (ICT) state and Py-N (pyrimidine-nitrogen) wavenumber shift is predicted theoretically. In natural bonds orbital analysis the magnitudes of charges transferred from lone pairs of LP(1)(N7) into the antibonds pi*/(N-1-C-6) has stabilization energy 61.64 kJmol(-1) due to resonance effect concomitant to red shift of their stretching frequencies. Best binding score of Pirimicarb was obtained with protein 5LM8 (-6.95 kcal/mol). (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
