Abstract :
In this study, we used the computational process by DFT with the B3LYP/6-311+G (d, p) quantum method to discover the reactivity properties and dope and determine the adsorption behavior of Citalopram on C60 (ih) as anti-depression drug carriers in the gas phase. We calculated chemical structural parameters such as dipole momentum) 3.7193D) and electronic parameters (σ(6.45), µ(-2.70), ω(16.5), χ(2.70) and η(1.53)) which can determine the chemical reactivity of Citalopram. According to the calculated HOMO(-4.25eV) and LUMO(-1.15eV) energy value, Citalopram is a stable and chemical active compound and has chemical reactivity. It has six active sides, which lead to adsorb on C60 nanocage as a drug carrier. This Surface adsorption helps Citalopram transfer to biological systems much better.
