The molecular structure obtained from X-ray single-crystal analysis of the investigated compound in the ground state has been compared using Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFF) with the functional B3LYP using the 6-31G(d,p) as basis set. In addition to the optimized geometrical structures, atomic charges, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and natural bond orbital (NBO) have been investigated by using B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of the theoretical approximation for the title compound. The energetic behavior of TMSBCI has been examined in solvent media using polarizable continuum model (PCM). The total dipole moment (mu), the average linear polarizability (alpha), and the first-order hyperpolarisability (beta) values of the investigated molecule have been computed using the same method. The experimental measurements (H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and UV vis) have been compared with its corresponding the calculated values (using DFT). Besides, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and thermodynamic properties have also been studied. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
