The single crystal structures were characterized by XRD, FTIR and <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectroscopy. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations (B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) were carried out to obtain the ground state optimized geometry, the IR and the NMR spectra of the molecule. Electronic properties (HOMO&LUMO) were calculated using the Time Dependant-DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method. Furthermore, NBO, MEP, and Fukui function analyses have been used for the quantitative determination of the chemical activities at various sites of the molecule.</p> 2017-03-30 15:17:45 Thiosemicarbazide Fukui function analysis FTIR NMR NBO
