| dc.description.abstract | Extremely coloured charge-transfer complexes (CTCs) of antihyperlipidemic drug, atorvastatin calcium
(ATC) acting as n-electron donor with the electron acceptors, namely, iodine as r-acceptor, 2,3,4,6-tetra
chloro-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranil, CHL), 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as pacceptors
have been explored. Elemental analysis, thermal analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy,
NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy techniques were used to explain the chemical mechanism
of the synthesized ATC-CTCs. It has been found that the stoichiometry of the complexes was to be
1:1 ratio in ATC-iodine and 1:2 ratio in ATC-CHL; ATC-DDQ. Elemental and mass analysis were confirmed
the above ratio of ATC-CTCs which was [(ATC)I]I3, [(ATC)(CHL)2], and [(ATC)(DDQ)2] respectively. The biological
activities of the formed ATC-CTCs were also tested against various bacterial strains. In addition,
the frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) of the title compound was performed at the HF/6-311G** level to
display the favourable reactivity tendency and the best suitable site for the electrophilic and nucleophilic
attacks. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was employed to predict the possible non-covalent interactions
and its result disclosed that the n ? P* and P ? P* interactions had a critical role in the enlightening
of the stabilization of the compound. The achieved results are more appropriate for the estimation
of antihyperlipidemic drug, ATC in pharmaceutical dosage forms. | tr |
