Experimental (UV,NMR, IR and Raman) and theoretical spectroscopic properties of 2-chloro-6-methylaniline

In this work, the experimental and theoretical UV, NMR and vibrational spectra of 2-chloro-6-methylaniline (2-Cl-6-MA, C₇H₈NCl) were studied. The ultraviolet absorption spectra of compound that dissolved in ethanol were examined in the range of 200–400 nm. The ¹H, ¹³C and DEPT NMR spectra of the compound were recorded. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2-Cl-6-MA in the liquid phase were recorded in the region 4000–400 cm^?1 and 3500–50 cm^?1, respectively. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP exchange correlation and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational frequencies were calculated and scaled values were compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The observed and calculated frequencies were found to be in good agreement. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. Isotropic chemical shifts were calculated using the gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method. Comparison of the calculated NMR chemical shifts and absorption wavelengths with the experimental values revealed that DFT method produces good results.     

14N chemical shifts and quadrupole coupling constants of inorganic nitrates

The isotropic chemical shift and the nuclear quadrupole coupling constant for (14)N were obtained for 14 inorganic nitrates by solid-state MAS NMR measurements at two different field strengths, 9.4 and 11.7 T. The compounds studied were polycrystalline powders of AgNO(3), Al(NO(3))(3), Ba(NO(3))(2), Ca(NO(3))(2), CsNO(3), KNO(3), LiNO(3), Mg(NO(3))(2), NaNO(3), Pb(NO(3))(2), RbNO(3), Sr(NO(3))(2), Th(NO(3))(4)center dot4H(2)O, and UO(2)(NO(3))(2)center dot3H(2)O. Even though the spectra show broadening due to (14)N quadrupole interactions, linewidths of a few hundred hertz and a good signal-to-noise ratio were achieved. From the position of the central peaks at the two fields, the chemical shifts and the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants were calculated. The chemical shifts for all compounds studied range from 282 to 342 ppm with respect to NH(4)Cl. The nuclear quadrupole coupling constants range from 429 kHz for AgNO(3) to 993 kHz for LiNO(3). These data are compared with those available in the literature.     

Experimental and theoretical FT‐IR and FT‐Raman spectroscopic analysis of N1‐methyl‐2‐chloroaniline

In this work, the experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra of N1‐methyl‐2‐chloroaniline (C₇H₈NCl) were studied. FT‐IR and FT‐Raman spectra of the title molecule in the liquid phase were recorded in the region 4000–400 cm^?1 and 3500–50 cm^?1, respectively. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated by using density functional method (B3LYP) with the 6‐311++G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational frequencies were calculated and scaled values were compared with experimental FT‐IR and FT‐Raman spectra. The observed and calculated frequencies are found to be in good agreement. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. ¹³C and ¹H NMR chemical shifts results were compared with the experimental values. The optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) were given and are in agreement with the corresponding experimental values of aniline and p‐methyl aniline.

The combined use of SCF-MO calculations and experimental data in the evaluation of quadratic force fields: MOCIC potential functions for fluoroform,methyl acetylene,and methyl cyanide

A semiempirical method combining SCF-MO calculations and limited vibrational data has been employed to evaluate the completely general quadratic potential fields of fluoroform, methyl acetylene, and acetonitrile. MOCIC (molecular orbital constraint using interaction coordinates) potential fields are presented for gas phase molecules of intermediate size. Here general harmonic force fields or excellent approximations utilizing extensive experimental data are available as standards. A statistical evaluation of the interaction potentials shows that there is some improvement in going from MNDO or ab initio SCF-MO force fields to the MOCIC functions which reliably reproduce the off-diagonal vibrational potential constants in most instances. The MOCIC primary compliants are excellent approximations of their vibrational counterparts, as expected. Comparison of the calculated isotopic frequencies, Coriolis coupling constants, and centrifugal distortion constants for the SCF-MO, MOCIC, and vibrational spectroscopic potential fields with the corresponding experimental values also shows MOCICs reliability for molecules with many interaction potentials. There is substantial improvement in the calculated isotopic frequency shifts and centrifugal distortion constants in going from SCF-MO to MOCIC functions.     

Experimental and four‐component relativistic DFT studies of tungsten carbonyl complexes

We present a theoretical and experimental study of the structure and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters of the pentacarbonyltungsten complexes of η¹‐2‐(trimethylstannyl)‐4,5‐dimethylphosphinine, η²‐norbornene, and imidazolidine‐2‐thione. The three complexes have a pseudo‐octahedral molecular structure with the six ligands bonded to the tungsten atom. The η¹‐2‐(trimethylstannyl)‐4,5‐dimethylphosphinine‐pentacarbonyl tungsten complex was synthesized for the first time. For all compounds, we present four‐component relativistic calculations of the NMR parameters at the Dirac–Kohn–Sham density functional level of theory using hybrid functionals. These large‐scale relativistic calculations of NMR chemical shifts and spin–spin coupling constants were compared with available experimental data, either taken from the literature or measured in this work. The inclusion of solvent effects modeled using a conductor‐like screening model was found to improve agreement between the calculated and experimental NMR parameters, and our best estimates for the NMR parameters are generally in good agreement with available experimental results. The present work demonstrates that four‐component relativistic theory has reached a level of maturity that makes it a convenient and accurate tool for modeling and understanding chemical shifts and indirect spin–spin coupling constants of organometallic compounds containing heavy elements, for which conventional non‐relativistic theory breaks down.

Ab initio predictions of zeolite structures and Si NMR chemical shifts

A recent shell-model potential parameterized on ab initio data is used for predicting the all-silica structures of zeolites MFI, MEI, MTW, TON, FAU and of α-quartz. Cluster models are defined around each site and the ²⁹Si NMR shielding constants are calculated by ab initio techniques (GIAO-HF). Good agreement with observed ²⁹Si NMR chemical shifts is found. Comparison is made with shifts calculated for observed structures. The structures predicted by the ab initio shell-model potential prove as accurate as the observed ones when judged on the quality of the calculated ²⁹Si NMR spectra.

Structural and vibrational study of 2‐(2′‐ furyl)‐4,5‐1H‐dihydroimidazole

In this study 2‐(2′‐furyl)‐4,5‐1H‐dihydroimidazole (1) was prepared and then characterized by infrared, Raman, and multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. The crystal and molecular structures of 1 were determined by X‐ray diffraction methods. The density functional theory (DFT) and second‐order Møller–Plesset theory (MP2) with Pople's basis set show that there are two conformers for the title molecule that have been theoretically determined in the gas phase, and that only one of them, conformer I, is present in the solid phase. NMR spectra observed for 1 were successfully compared with the calculated chemical shifts at the B3LYP/6‐311++G** level theorized for this conformer. The harmonic vibrational frequencies for the optimized geometry of the latter conformer were calculated at the B3LYP/6‐311++G** level in the approximation of the isolated molecule. For a complete assignment of the IR and Raman spectra in the solid phase of 1 , DFT calculations were combined with Pulay´s scaled quantum mechanics force field (SQMFF) methodology to fit the theoretical frequency values to the experimental ones.

分子间相互作用对核酸碱基中17O屏蔽张量与四极耦合常数影响的理论计算研究

通过高精度量子化学理论计算的方法研究了分子间弱的非键相互作用对胸腺嘧啶、尿嘧啶、胞嘧啶和鸟嘌呤四种核酸碱基中~(17)O核的屏蔽张量(σO)和四极耦合常数(QCC)的影响.计算结果表明分子间强的氢键作用以及弱的范德华(vd W)相互作用都对~(17)O核的化学位移(δO)具有较大的影响.随着分子间氢键作用的逐渐增强,δO逐渐减小,当采用包含所有弱相互作用的周期性模型进行计算时,理论结果与实验值吻合.进一步的电荷分析显示,~(17)O核化学位移的减小主要是由于分子间氢键作用强度增加导致~(17)O原子的负电荷密度逐渐增加.此外,计算结果表明碱基中分子间氢键网络和弱的范德华作用对碱基~(17)O QCC也具有显著的影响.周期性模型下,碱基上氧原子的局域结构环境得到平衡,~(17)O QCC达到最小值,与实验结果最为接近.以核酸碱基为例,说明了分子间的氢键网络以及分子间弱的相互作用对于准确计算生物样品的核磁共振(NMR)参数非常重要,以小的团簇模型来计算生物体系的核磁参数将会产生较大的偏差.     

Prediction of the 1H NMR spectra of epoxy-fused cyclopentane derivatives by calculations of chemical shifts and spin–spin coupling constants

¹H NMR spectra of epoxy-fused cyclopentane derivatives have been computationally investigated with density functional calculations in order to unravel the shielding effect of the epoxy ring on the ¹H NMR chemical shifts of N-substituted epoxy-fused cyclopentane-3, 5-diol derivatives. Both ¹H NMR chemical shifts and spin–spin coupling constants have been calculated with the WP04/cc-pVTZ level of theory in solution. The WP04/cc-pVTZ// B3LYP/6-31+G(d) methodology has been found to reproduce the best experimental results on epoxy-fused cyclopentane derivatives. This study is expected to lead experimentalists in their endeavour to characterize epoxy-fused cyclic systems with ease.     

Quadrupole coupling constants and isomeric Mössbauer shifts for halogen-containing gold, platinum, niobium, tantalum and antimony compounds

We have analyzed by means of Density functional theory calculations the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of a range of gold, antimony, platinum, niobium and tantalum compounds. The geometrical parameters and halogen nuclear quadrupole coupling constants obtained by these calculations substantially corresponded to the data of microwave and nuclear quadrupole resonance spectroscopy. An analysis of the quality of the calculations that employ pseudo-potentials and all-electron basis sets for the halogen compounds was carried out. The zero order regular approximation (ZORA) method is shown to be a viable alternative for the calculation of halogen coupling constants in molecules. In addition, the ZORA model, in contrast to the pseudo-potential model, leads to realistic values of all metal nuclear quadrupole coupling constants. From Klopman’s approach, it follows that the relationship between the electrostatic bonding and covalent depends on the nature of the central atom. The results on Mössbauer chemical shifts are also in a good agreement with the coordination number of the central atom.     

Density functional study of the molecular structures,infrared and Raman spectra of carbon suboxide,its sulfur and selenium analogues

Carbon suboxide, and its sulfur and selenium analogues in D _∞h symmetry have been studied in the gas phase by a density functional method using B3LYP as the functional. The basis sets employed are 6-31++G(d,p), 6-311++G(d,p), cc-pVDZ and all calculations have been carried out using Gaussian 03W. Molecular parameters, namely bond lengths, rotational constants, quadrupole moments, and infrared and Raman frequencies are predicted for these molecules. Atomization energies have also been predicted. The calculated molecular parameters and vibrational spectra of the parent molecule, namely carbon suboxide, are in good agreement with literature data. Therefore, data from the present theoretical gas phase study are expected to be valid for the molecular structures and vibrational spectra of carbon subsulfide and carbon subselenide. The results from this study could be used as a reference for these molecules.     

Nuclear spectroscopic quantities under influences of covalency

On the basis of Mössbauer isomer shift data, nuclear quadrupole interactions and NMR¹J(¹³C?¹¹⁹Sn) spin-spin coupling constants, the problem of the nonadditivity of the isomer shifts and unexpected quadrupole interactions in tin organic compounds SnX_4?nR_n (X-halide, R-org. lig.) with the degree of substitution n has been treated by means of pseudopotential HF SCF calculations supplemented by efficient methods for comprehending core reorganizations and nucleus near electronic charge distributions. The nonadditivity of the isomer shifts and the progression of the nuclear quadrupole interactions has been explained by the evident momentum separated electronic reorganization. The clearly proved relation between s electron densities and higher orbital imbalances brings the isomer shift in relation to the valence part of the electric field gradient (EFG). An interrelation between isomer shifts and NMR spin-spin coupling constants has been deduced.     

Spectral and Computational Studies on Benzil Mono-(2-Pyridyl)Hydrazone

In the present study, structural properties of Mono-(2-Pyridyl) Hydrazone were studied extensively utilizing density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP exchange correlation. The Fourier transform infrared (solid phase) was recorded. The vibrational frequencies in the ground state were calculated by using density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-31G* and 6-311G** as basis sets. The spectral studies revealed that the title compound exists in Keto form. Spectral techniques that we employed include ¹H and ¹³C NMR, electronic, thermal techniques. Correlation between experimental chemical shifts and GIAO/B3LYP/6-311G**-calculated isotropic shielding constants, δ_exp = a + bσ_calc, are reported. Good linear regressions between experimental and theoretical results for ¹H and ¹³C were obtained.     

IR absorption band contours of methyltrifluorosilane: Calculation and comparison with experiment

The IR spectrum of methyltrifluorosilane is measured in the range 220–3500 cm^?1. Both the equilibrium configuration of the molecule and its vibrational frequencies are calculated quantum chemically. Using the rotational and Coriolis constants obtained in these calculations, the contours of the rotational bands in the IR spectrum are numerically modeled. A comparison between the calculated and the experimental spectra made it possible to refine the frequencies of the fundamental vibrations of the molecule and determine the isotope shifts of the fundamental Si-F vibration with respect to the stable isotopes of silicon.     

Structural,vibrational spectra and normal coordinate analysis for two tautomers of 4(5)‐(2′‐furyl)‐imidazole

We have synthesized both the 4 and 5 tautomeric forms of 4(5)‐(2′‐furyl)‐imidazole (1) and investigated their molecular vibrations by infrared and Raman spectroscopies as well as by calculation based on the density functional theory (DFT) approach. Examination of the temperature dependence of IR intensity revealed the band characteristics of the 4 and 5 tautomers of (1). Comparison of experimental and calculated chemical shifts in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was made in order to identify the two tautomeric forms. The assignment of vibrational normal modes was performed, and the force field obtained reproduced the experimental vibrational wavenumbers with a root mean‐square deviation (RMSD) value of ca. 13 cm⁻¹ for both tautomers. The natural bond orbital (NBO) study reveals the characteristics of the electronic delocalization of the two tautomeric structures. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
