A theoretical investigation of the interaction between fluorinated dimethyl ethers and molecular chlorine

Halogen bonds have received a great deal of attention in recent years. In this work, the interaction between fluorinated dimethyl ethers (n_F = 0–4) and molecular chlorine has been investigated by the theoretical methods. The two molecules are bonded together by an O···Cl?Cl halogen bond and the interaction energies calculated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level range between ?15.5 (n_F = 0) and ?6.1 (n_F = 4) kJ mol^?1. The correlations between interaction energies and proton affinity or ionisation potential of the ethers are discussed. The interaction between the molecules results in a small contraction of the CH bond of ethers and an elongation of the Cl?Cl bond. The data are analysed by a natural bond orbital analysis carried out at the wB97XD/6-311++G(d,p) level. The charge transfer from the ethers to Cl₂ is weak, ranges between 0.044 and 0.008 e and occurs mainly to the external Cl atom. The elongation of the Cl?Cl bond is related to the occupation of the σ^*(Cl?Cl) orbital and to the intermolecular hyperconjugation interaction between LP(O) and σ^*(Cl?Cl) orbitals. The interaction between the ethers and chlorine induces an enhancement of the infrared intensity and Raman scattering activity of the ν(Cl?Cl) vibration.     

Ab initio potential surfaces for the à and states of HCN+

Ab initio configuration interaction calculations for the à ²Σ⁺ and states of HCN⁺ are presented. Minima occur at r _CH = 2·03 a ₀, r _CN = 2·25 a ₀ (à ²Σ⁺) and r _CH = 2·75 a₀, r _CN = 2·26 a ₀ (). The potential surface for the state has a local maximum as the hydrogen atom is pulled away from CN. The barrier height is calculated to be 0·27 eV.     

Magnetic circular dichroism of the first spin-forbidden transition in 2[Cr(en)3Cl3] . KCl . 6H2O

The longitudinal Zeeman effect of the ² E ←⁴ A ₂ transition of the Cr⁺³ ion in single crystals of 2[Cr(en)₃Cl₃] . KCl . 6H₂O has been measured using circularly polarized light as a function of magnetic field strength between 0 and 160 kgauss at ～80 K. The g factor for the ground state was determined to be g _‖(⁴ A ₂) = 2·01±0·05, in agreement with the E.S.R.-determined value. The ratio between the excited state g values and that of the ground state was determined; using the value g _‖(⁴ A ₂) = 1·99, the g factors g _‖(2) = 2·61±0·04 and g _‖() = 1·47±0·04 were obtained.     

The anharmonic force field and equilibrium structure of methane

The anharmonic force field of methane has been refined to fit spectroscopic data from the isotopic species ¹²CH₄, ¹³CH₄, ¹²CH₄, ¹²CH₃D, ¹²CHD₃ and ¹²CH₂D₂. Six of the thirteen cubic force constants have been determined experimentally, the remaining cubic constants being fixed at values derived from ab initio calculations. The quartic force field is very crude, in that only f_rrrr has been refined. It is concluded however that the cubic and quartic force fields, even though they are subject to limitations, provide a considerable improvement in the experimental determination of the r _e structure and the quadratic force field. The equilibrium bond length is found to be r _e(CH) = 1·085₈ ± 0·001 Å.     

129Xe contact shift in oxygen gas

We have determined the temperature dependence of σ₁ of ¹²⁹Xe in oxygen gas. These results were obtained by measurement of the resonance frequency of ¹²⁹Xe in gas samples of known densities in Xe and O₂. The shift of the resonance frequency due to Xe-Xe interactions has been measured in pure Xe gas samples with improved precision. This allows the determination of σ₁(Xe-O₂) by subtracting out the known effect of Xe-Xe interactions in mixed Xe-O₂ samples. σ₁(Xe-O₂) values are reported here for the temperature range 220 to 440 K. The values of σ₁(Xe-O₂) are adequately described by the polynomial function in p.p.m. amagat^-1 σ₁(Xe-O₂) = - 1·061 + 3·64 × 10^-3τ - 2·19 × 10^-5τ² + 9·58 × 10^-8τ³ - 2·08 × 10^-10τ⁴, where τ = (T - 300 K). It is found that the temperature dependence of σ₁(Xe-O₂) can be interpreted in terms of a contact interaction between Xe and the paramagnetic O₂ molecule.     

The anharmonic bending vibration of the NaCl dimer

A vibrational analysis of the NaCl dimer at high temperature is performed, with special attention given to a quantum mechanical study of the anharmonic, large amplitude B_1u out-of-plane bending mode. This mode is the primary contributor to the perpendicular amplitude correction K, and the anharmonic, large amplitude K value for the Na—Cl bond is found to be only 0.0002 Å less than the standard harmonic value of 0.0159 Å at 1130 K. This corresponds to an average out-of-plane bending angle α¯ of 10°. The results of a standard ASYM20 harmonic analysis are then applied to extract an approximate r _e(Na—Cl) value for the dimer of 2.514(40) Å, in excellent agreement with the best microwave/ ab initio value of 2.515 Å. Derived non-bonded r _a to r _e corrections are also reasonable, although the nona e bonded distances are best combined to determine the Cl—Na—Cl angle.     

Some measures for making a traditional halogen bond be chlorine-shared or ion-pair one in FCl•NH3 complex

ABSTRACT

The Cl···N halogen bond (XB) in FCl·NH₃ is tuned from a traditional one to a chlorine-shared or an ion-pair one with three methods. The first method is to put this complex into different clusters of (FCl·NH₃)(H₂O)₆. The second method is to add solvents with different dielectric constants around this complex. The third method is to impose a proper external electric field on this complex. The traditional XB has the negative quantity [r₁(F–Cl) ? r₂(Cl–N)], while the chlorine-shared and ion-pair XBs exhibit the positive r₁ ? r₂, both having the ion-pair character of smaller and larger than 85%, respectively.

Magnetic shielding studies on the alkali molecules Na2 and Cs2 by NMR

NMR in the alkali molecules Na₂ and Cs₂ is performed by the atom-molecule exchange optical pumping method. The shielding differences σ(Na)?σ(Na₂)=(29±16)·10^?6 and σ(Cs)?σ(Cs₂)=(221±12)·10^?6 are obtained. The investigation of the contribution of the valence electron to the magnetic shielding is supported by a NMR experiment in free Cs⁺ ions, which yields the shielding difference σ(Cs)?σ(Cs⁺)=(14±12)·10^?6. These measurements allow an estimation of the spin rotation interaction constant in these molecules.     

Substituent effects on gas‐phase homolytic Fe–N bond energies of m‐G‐C6H4NHFe(CO)2(η5‐C5H5) and m‐G‐C6H4N(COMe)Fe(CO)2(η5‐C5H5) studied using density functional theory methods

One of the most fundamental properties in chemistry is the bond dissociation energy, the energy required to break a specific bond of a molecule. In this paper, the Fe–N homolytic bond dissociation energies [ΔH_homo(Fe–N)'s] of 2 series of (meta‐substituted anilinyl)dicarbonyl(η⁵‐cyclopentadienyl) iron [m‐G‐C₆H₄NHFp ( 1 )] and (meta‐substituted α‐acetylanilinyl)dicarbonyl(η⁵‐cyclopentadienyl) iron [m‐G‐C₆H₄N(COMe)Fp ( 2 )] were studied using density functional theory methods with large basis sets. In this study, Fp is (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂, and G is NO₂, CN, COMe, CO₂Me, CF₃, Br, Cl, F, H, Me, MeO, and NMe₂. The results show that Tao‐Perdew‐Staroverov‐Scuseria, Minnesota 2006, and Becke's power‐series ansatz from 1997 with dispersion corrections functionals can provide the best price/performance ratio and accurate predictions of ΔH_homo(Fe–N)'s. The ΔΔH_homo(Fe–N)'s ( 1 and 2 ) conform to the captodative principle. The polar effects of the meta‐substituents show the dominant role to the magnitudes of ΔΔH_homo(Fe–N)'s. σ_α· and σ_c· values for meta‐substituents are all related to polar effects. Spin‐delocalization effects of the meta‐substituents in ΔΔH_homo(Fe–N)'s are small but not necessarily zero. RE plays an important role in determining the net substituent effects on ΔH_homo(Fe–N)'s. Insight from this work may help the design of more effective catalytic processes.     

Resonance absorption and fluorescence in argon

Absorption cross sections of argon for argon resonance radiation have been measured by several techniques. The apparent cross sections are small (0·1 to 1·6 × 10^-18 cm²) for resonance absorption and the values depend on the technique used for measurement. These observations are interpreted in terms of extensive reversal and broadening in the source. The excitation and quenching of resonance fluorescence was studied to provide information about the rates of the processes

The rate constants were estimated relative to k _r, the rate constant for radiation. Radiation imprisonment leads to a reduction of k _r from its natural value and observations of the decay of resonance fluorescence suggest that k _r ～ 1·5 × 10⁵ s^-1 in our system at [Ar] = 2 × 10¹⁷ atom cm^-3. Combining this value with the relative values for the quenching rate constants gives k ₁ < 1·5 × 10^-13, k ₁′(M = N₂) ～ 6 × 10^-12, k ₁′(M = NO) ～ 4 × 10^-10, in units of cm³ s^-1 molecule^-1.
