摘要

This study presents an experimental and first-principles computational analysis of the optical response of two dihydropyrazole-carbohydrazide derivatives, 2a and 2c, using UV–Vis absorption, photoluminescence spectroscopy, geometry optimization, and TD-DFT calculations. Although both compounds belong to a previously reported bioactive family, their integrated optical/TD-DFT problem had not been addressed. Experimentally, absorption onsets near 400 nm (2a) and 350 nm (2c) yield optical-onset descriptors of 3.10 and 3.54 eV, respectively, while photoluminescence maxima appear at ~ 600 nm for both, revealing that the emissive state is less sensitive to methoxy substitution than the absorption edge. TD-DFT reproduces main UV bands at 330–334 nm and supports transition assignments. Tauc-derived values are employed as empirical molecular descriptors rather than solid-state bandgaps. The combined approach validates TD-DFT as a complementary interpretive tool for rationalizing frontier-orbital trends and electronic transitions, while identifying potential applications in optical sensing, fluorescent labeling, and organic optoelectronics.
