5-Propyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole Schiff base was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and X-ray single crystal diffraction techniques. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group p-1 with z = 2. The molecular geometry was optimized using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) and hartree fock (HF) methods with the 6-311G+(d,p) and 6-311G basis set in ground state. From the optimized geometry of the molecule, vibrational frequencies, HOMO-LUMO and natural bond orbital (NBO) were calculated with B3LYP/6-311G+(d,p) level. In addition, gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) 1H NMR chemical shi...
