Theoretical study of TiO2 nanotubes and their interactions with gases
The theoretical study of titanium dioxide nanotubes used a methodology for creating nanotube models from the unit cells of TiO2 crystals (rutile and anatase) in specific planes, in this case anatase in the (101) plane and rutile in the (110) plane. The structures generated were subjected to quantum mechanics calculations using semiempirical methods (PM7) and ab-initio DFT and HF methods, in the 6-31G and 6-311G bases. Models were created and it was found that the most stable structures were those with the largest diameters. A comparison between models with the same number of atoms showed that anatase nanotubes were more stable than rutile nanotubes. When evaluating the gap using semi-empirical and HF methods, the anatase nanotubes were classified as insulating due to the gap range between 6.00 eV and 10.00 eV, while the DFT values showed values between 2.00 eV and 2.50 eV.

These structural parameters were compared with similar molecules found in the literature. Then, its spectroscopic properties such as FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR were calculated theoretically. The vibrational frequencies of the compound were assigned. The calculated theoretical results were compared with the experimental data. Finally, the electronic energies, dipole moments, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies, polarizability and hyperpolarizability values of the studied compound were calculated and it was determined whether it exhibits drug properties in ADME work was carried out.
Molecular Information Field
The book is devoted to the original concept of the information field (IF) of a molecule developed by the authors, which opens a new view of a molecule as an object forming information in the surrounding space. In this regard, the concept of IP goes beyond chemistry and can be applied to any object (physical body). However, the authors are professional organic chemists and therefore focused their attention on fundamental aspects of molecular structure and its influence on the properties of organic compounds within the framework of QSAR/QSPR models, using the possibilities of the developed FE concept. It should be especially emphasized that the proposed concept does not use any esoteric theories, supernatural phenomena and the like. Our FE concept is based only on natural-scientific ideas, which are based on Shannon's probabilistic approach to measuring the amount of information.The main objective of our book is to show the possibilities of the developed FE concept for solving a variety of chemical problems. Given the universality of our concept, we hope that specialists of other fields will be able to transform our ideas for their problems where other (non-molecular) objects are considered.
