In this study, the solvent effects on structural, spectroscopic, electronic and thermochemical properties of Theobromine (tbH) were theoretically investigated. The dichloromethane (DCM), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and water (H2O) solvents have been chosen for investigations. Optimized molecular structures of tbH were obtained by using the DFT/B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set in vacuum and in solvent media. Calculated geometric structure parameters were compared with experimental data. In the experimental section, the mid-IR spectrum of tbH was recorded using ATR equipment and compared with calculated vibrational frequencies. tbH-H2O complexes were studied for various binding ratios. The total energies and hydrogen bond lengths of these complexes were discussed in detail. It is seen as the result of this study that N⋯H-O and O⋯H-O non-covalent bonded structures are more stable for all binding versions and hydrogen bond lengths for all tbH-H2O complexes range from 1.8-2.5 Å.
