The reaction proceeded smoothly and cleanly under mild reaction conditions and no side reactions were observed. The structures of the products were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Then, structure, electronic and spectroscopic properties of the synthesized molecules were computed at the CAM-B3LYP/jorge-DZP (H,C,N,O) and Def2-TZVPPD (Fe) level of theory. First hyperpolarizability value were calculated to describe the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of these molecules. The HOMO-LUMO study to find the band gap of the prepared molecules was extended to calculate global hardness, chemical potential and global electrophilicity for the investigation of the chemical behavior of the compounds. The energies of iron d-orbitals and formal electron configurations of iron atom were calculated by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. %U https://www.ijnc.ir/article_39191_4055ee8521eac3cda7a67c439417e35c.pdf
