Abstract: The 1HNMR chemical shifts of aza-bridged bis-phenanthroline macrocycle(H2HAPP) in d-TFA solvent, with C2h and C2h symmetric conformation, have been calculated at RHF/6-31G** and B3LYP/6-31G** level bYUsing ab initio GIAO method. The calculated chemical shifts of protonized H4HAPP2+ species with C2h symmetric conformation are in good agreement with the experimental data, and the C2h symmetric conformation optimized at B3LYP/6-31G* leveLIs preferable. The calculated results of the harmonic vibration frequency of C2h and C2h geometries optimized at B3LYP/6-31G * leveLIndicate that C2h conformation is stable and C2h is not stable. The electronic spectrum of protonized species H4HAPP2+ has also been calculated bYUsing ab initio TDDFT method. TheoreticaLInvestigation suggests the protonized species H4HAPP2+ is of C2h symmetry.
