Structural Elucidation, Optical and Magnetic Properties of Tetraphenylborate Salt of 2,5-[1-Methyl-4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl)]pyridinium]-butane

Structure, magnetic and optical properties of tetraphenylborate salt of 2,5-[1-methyl-4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl)]pyridinium]-hexane were performed for condensed phase by means of solution and solid-state conventional and linear-polarized IR-spectroscopy of oriented colloids in nematic host, UV-Vis and fluorescence methods, HPLC MS-MS tandem and ESI mass spectrometry, (1)H-, (13)C- and (1)H-(1)H COSY NMR, TGV and DSC methods. Electronic structure and vibrational analysis were carried out by quantum chemical calculations at two levels of theory second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and density functional theory (DFT) using 6-31G* basis set. B3LYP method, which combines Becke's three-parameter non-local exchange functional with the correlation function of Lee, Yang and Parr, was applied.
