In the present work, a detailed spectroscopic analysis of 4-(benzyloxy)benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3) has been carried out using ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV–Visible and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The quantum chemical calculations have been carried out using DFT level of theory, B3LYP functional and 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The calculated thermodynamic parameters show that the formation of 3 is an exothermic and spontaneous reaction at 25°C. The vibrational analysis indicates the formation of dimer in the solid state by intermolecular hydrogen bonding (NH⋯SC) and the binding energy of dimer is calculated to be 11.2kcal/mol, using DFT calculation. NBO analysis is carried out to investigate the charge transfer in various intra and intermolecular interactions involved in dimer. Topological parameters at bond critical points (BCPs) are calculated to analyze the strength and nature of various intra and intermolecular interactions in dimer by Bader’s ‘Atoms in molecules’ AIM theory in detail. The local reactivity descriptors such as Fukui functions (fₖ ⁺,fₖ ⁻), local softnesses (sₖ ⁺,sₖ ⁻) and electrophilicity indices (ωₖ ⁺,ωₖ ⁻) analysis are performed to determine the reactive sites within molecule. Non linear optical (NLO) behavior of title compound is investigated by the computed value of first hyperpolarizability (β₀).
