A calcium complex of N-phthaloylglycine (CaNPG) has been synthesized, and its crystal structure has been characterized by X-ray diffraction method. The FT-IR and fluorescence spectra for CaNPG have been recorded. N-phthaloylglycine ligand coordinates to Ca ion through the carboxylate O atoms as a bidentate ligand, and Ca ion does not play an important role in florescence spectrum. In order to support experimental findings and also investigate molecular surfaces, natural bond orbital (NBO) and nonlinear optical (NLO) optical properties of CaNPG complex, density functional theory calculations have been performed by hybrid B3LYP level. The very small energy gap between α-spin frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) is demonstrated that CaNPG is a very reactive, chemically soft and optically active complex. The high stabilization energies of hyperconjugative interactions are also demonstrate that the charge mobility in CaNPG is very high. As consistent with above findings, first static hyperpolarizability of CaNPG has been found to be 10 times higher than pNA which is a NLO material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
