The compounds’ structures were fully optimized and compared with the single-crystal X-ray diffraction results, showing a very close agreement with the experimental structural parameters. Their IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra were calculated and examined in detail. Furthermore, the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps of the studied compounds were investigated and the strength of the non-covalent interactions evaluated. In addition to these results, the NLO properties of the three compounds were penA Comparative Theoretical and Spectroscopic Study of Aminomethylbenzoic Acid Derivatives as Potential NLO Candidates †A Comparative Theoretical and Spectroscopic Study of Aminomethylbenzoic Acid Derivatives as Potential NLO Candidates †Article
