Molecular Geometry Analysis of Glyceryl Tripalmitate
Keywords:
DFT, Glyceryl tripalmitate, 6-31G, B3LYPAbstract
Analysis of the structure of organic molecules can be carried out through computational quantum chemistry. In this study, I carried out quantum chemistry calculations using the density functional method to study the properties of the glyceryl tripalmitate molecule. DFT calculations were calculated using the hybrid function B3LYP at 6-31G* level. The geometric structure of the glyceryl tripalmitate molecule has an energy gap of 7.638 eV. The wavelength absorption that occurs in the glyceryl tripalmitate molecule is in the 165 nm and 208 nm region with electronic excitation contributing to π to π* orbital interactions.
