In addition to the molecular geometry from X-ray experiment, the molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies and gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) H-1 and C-13 NMR chemical shift values of the title compound in the ground state have been calculated using the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with the 6-31++G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets, and compared with the experimental data. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) distribution and non-linear optical properties of the title compound were investigated by theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31 1++G(d,p) level.
