Abstract

For years now, results obtained through quantum chemistry methods have made it possible to assess the geometry and electronic structure of organic molecules. In coordination chemistry, the theoretical evaluation of a complex molecule’s potential as a ligand is highly important both for studying the mechanism of complex formation and for selecting optimal conditions for synthesizing coordination compounds. To study the ability of the gliclazide molecule to form coordination bonds with a central atom (complex-forming metal), we calculated and analyzed its energetic, electronic, and structural properties using the semi-empirical Quantum-Chemical AM1 method.

Keywords: Coordination compounds, Ligands, donor atom, complexation, diabetes.
