RESUMEN
In the present study, N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide, C10H9NOS2, (I), was obtained by the reaction of thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride and thiophen-2-ylmethanamine. Characterization of (I) was carried out using X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses. The DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) theoretical level was successfully applied to calculate the optimized geometry and the local and global chemical activity parameters. The results obtained show good agreement between the experimental and theoretical geometrical parameters. The local and global chemical activity parameters were examined to determine the electrophilic and nucleophilic sites in (I). The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of (I) gives an efficient methodology for investigating the inter- and intramolecular bonding, as well as giving a convenient basis for investigating charge transfer or conjugative interactions in molecular systems. Also, the antimicrobial activity of (I) was investigated against eight microorganisms using the microdilution method and it is found to have an effective antibacterial activity. In addition, molecular docking studies were calculated in order to understand the nature of the binding of (I) with a lung cancer protein (PDB entry 1x2j).
