Kristallstruktur und Schwingungsspektrum von (H2NPPh3)2[SnCl6]·2CH3CN

Crystal Structure and Vibrational Spectrum of (H₂NPPh₃)₂[SnCl₆]·2CH₃CN Single crystals of (H₂NPPh₃)₂[SnCl₆]·2CH₃CN ( 1 ) were obtained by oxidative addition of tin(II) chloride with N‐chloro‐triphenylphosphanimine in acetonitrile in the presence of water. 1 is characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy as well as by a single crystal structure determination: Space group , Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 1029.6(1), b = 1441.0(2), c = 1446.1(2) pm, α = 90.91(1)°, β = 92.21(1)°, γ = 92.98(1)°, R₁ = 0.0332. 1 forms an ionic structure with two different site positions of the [SnCl₆]^2? ions. One of them is surrounded by four N‐hydrogen atoms of four (H₂NPPh₃)⁺ ions, four CH₃CN molecules form N–H···N≡C–CH₃ contacts with the other four N‐hydrogen atoms of the cations. Thus, 1 can be written as [(H₂NPPh₃)₄(CH₃CN)₄(SnCl₆)]²⁺[SnCl₆]^2?.     

Atmospheric chemistry of CH2FOCH2F: Reaction with Cl atoms and atmospheric fate of CH2FOCHFO· radicals

Smog chamber/FTIR techniques were used to study the Cl atom initiated oxidation of CH₂FOCH₂F in 700 Torr of N₂/O₂ at 296 K. Relative rate techniques were used to measure k(Cl + CH₂FOCH₂F) = (4.6 ± 0.7) × 10^?13 and k(Cl + CH₂FOC(O)F) = (2.9 ± 0.8) × 10^?15 (in units of cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1). Three competing fates for alkoxy radical CH₂FOCHFO· formed in the self‐reaction of the corresponding peroxy radicals were identified. In 1 atm of air at 296 K, 48 ± 3% of CH₂FOCHFO· radicals decompose via C? O bond scission, 21 ± 4% react with O₂, and 31 ± 4% undergo hydrogen atom elimination. Chemical activation effects were observed for CH₂FOCHFO· radicals formed in the CH₂FOCHFOO· + NO reaction. Infrared spectra of CH₂FOC(O)F and FC(O)OC(O)F, which are produced during the Cl atom initiated oxidation of CH₂FOCH₂F, are presented. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Theoretical Study of the Reactions M++CH3F (M=Ge,As, Se,Sb)

CASSCF–MRMP2 calculations have been carried out to analyze the reactions of the methyl fluoride molecule with the atomic ions Ge⁺, As⁺, Se⁺ and Sb⁺. For these interactions, potential energy curves for the low‐lying electronic states were calculated for different approaching modes of the fragments. Particularly, those channels leading to C? H and C? F oxidative addition products, H₂FC? M? H⁺ and H₃C? M? F⁺, respectively were explored, as well as the paths which evolve to the abstraction (M? F⁺+CH₃) and the elimination (CH₂M⁺+HF) asymptotes. For the reaction Ge⁺+CH₃F the only favorable channel leads to fluorine abstraction by the ion. As⁺ and Sb⁺ can react with CH₃F along pathways yielding stable addition products. However, a viable path joining the oxidative addition product H₃C? M? F⁺ with the elimination asymptote CH₂M⁺+HF was found for the reaction of the fluorocarbon compound with As⁺. No favorable channels were detected for the interaction of fluoromethane with Se⁺. The results discussed herein allow rationalizing some of the experimental data found for these interactions through gas‐phase mass spectrometry.     

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

CH3NHNH2 + OH reaction: Mechanism and dynamics studies

A direct dynamics study was carried out for the multichannel reaction of CH₃NHNH₂ with OH radical. Two stable Conformers (I, II) of CH₃NHNH₂ are identified by the rotation of the ? CH₃ group. For each conformer, five hydrogen‐abstraction channels are found. The reaction mechanisms of product radicals (CH₃NNH₂ and CH₃NHNH) with OH radical are also investigated theoretically. The electronic structure information on the potential energy surface is obtained at the B3LYP/6‐311G(d,p) level and the energetics along the reaction path is refined by the BMC‐CCSD method. Hydrogen‐bonded complexes are presented at both the reactant and product sides of the five channels, indicating that the reaction may proceed via an indirect mechanism. The influence of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) on the energies of all the complexes is discussed by means of the CBS‐QB3 method. The rate constants of CH₃NHNH₂ + OH are calculated using canonical variational transition‐state theory with the small‐curvature tunneling correction (CVT/SCT) in the temperature range of 200–1000 K. Slightly negative temperature dependence of rate constant is found in the temperature range from 200 to 345 K. The agreement between the theoretical and experimental results is good. It is shown that for Conformer I, hydrogen‐abstraction from ? NH? position is the primary pathway at low temperature; the hydrogen‐abstraction from ? NH₂ is a competitive pathway as the temperature increases. A similar case can be concluded for Conformer II. The overall rate constant is evaluated by considering the weight factors of each conformer from the Boltzmann distribution function, and the three‐term Arrhenius expressions are fitted to be k_T = 1.6 × 10^?24T^4.03exp (1411.5/T) cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 between 200–1000 K. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Rate constant for the reaction of CH3C(O)CH2 radical with HBr and its thermochemical implication

The fast flow method with laser induced fluorescence detection of CH₃C(O)CH₂ was employed to obtain the rate constant of k₁ (298 K) = (1.83 ± 0.12 (1σ)) × 10¹⁰ cm³ mol^?1 s^?1 for the reaction CH₃C(O)CH₂ + HBr ? CH₃C(O)CH₃ + Br (1, ?1). The observed reduced reactivity compared with n‐alkyl or alkoxyl radicals can be attributed to the partial resonance stabilization of the acetonyl radical. An application of k₁ in a third law estimation provides Δ_fH(CH₃C(O)CH₂) values of ?24 kJ mol^?1 and ?28 kJ mol^?1 depending on the rate constants available for reaction ( ‐1 ) from the literature. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis,Characterization, and Crystal Structures of [N(CH3)4]2[B12H12] and [N(CH3)4]2[B12H12] · CH3CN

Bis(tetramethylammonium) dodecahydrododecaborate, [(CH₃)₄N]₂[B₁₂H₁₂], and bis(tetramethylammonium) dodecahydrododecaborate acetonitrile, [(CH₃)₄N]₂[B₁₂H₁₂] · CH₃CN, were synthesized and characterized via Infrared, ¹H and ¹¹B NMR spectroscopy. [(CH₃)₄N]₂[B₁₂H₁₂] crystallizes isopunctual to the alkali metal dodecaborates. The crystal structure of [(CH₃)₄N]₂[B₁₂H₁₂] · CH₃CN was determined from single crystal data and refined in the orthorhombic crystal system (Pcmn, no. 62, a = 898.68(8), b = 1312.85(9) c = 1994.5(1) pm, R(|F| , 4σ) = 5.9%, wR(F²) = 18.3%). Here, the geometry of the dodecaborate anion is that of an almost ideal icosahedron, less distorted than most other dodecaborates known. By low‐temperature Guinier‐Simon diffractometry phase transitions were detected for [(CH₃)₄N]₂[B₁₂H₁₂] and [(CH₃)₄N]₂[B₁₂H₁₂] · CH₃CN at –70 and –15 °C, respectively.     

Assessment of intermolecular interactions at three sites of the arylalkyne in phenylacetylene‐containing lithium‐bonded complexes: Ab initio and QTAIM studies

The intermolecular interactions existing at three different sites between phenylacetylene and LiX (X = OH, NH₂, F, Cl, Br, CN, NC) have been investigated by means of second‐order Møller?Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) calculations and quantum theory of “atoms in molecules” (QTAIM) studies. At each site, the lithium‐bonding interactions with electron‐withdrawing groups (? F, ? Cl, ? Br, ? CN, ? NC) were found to be stronger than those with electron‐donating groups (? OH and ? NH₂). Molecular graphs of C₆H₅C?CH···LiF and πC₆H₅C?CH···LiF show the same connectional positions, and the electron densities at the lithium bond critical points (BCPs) of the πC₆H₅C?CH···LiF complexes are distinctly higher than those of the σC₆H₅C?CH···LiF complexes, indicating that the intermolecular interactions in the C₆H₅C?CH···LiX complexes can be mainly attributed to the π‐type interaction. QTAIM studies have shown that these lithium‐bond interactions display the characteristics of “closed‐shell” noncovalent interactions, and the molecular formation density difference indicates that electron transfer plays an important role in the formation of the lithium bond. For each site, linear relationships have been found between the topological properties at the BCP (the electron density ρ_b, its Laplacian ?²ρ_b, and the eigenvalue λ₃ of the Hessian matrix) and the lithium bond length d(Li‐bond). The shorter the lithium bond length d(Li‐bond), the larger ρ_b, and the stronger the π···Li bond. The shorter d(Li‐bond), the larger ?²ρ_b, and the greater the electrostatic character of the π···Li bond. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A novel single‐electron sodium bond system of H3C···Na?Y (YH,OH, F,CCH, CN,and NC)

A novel single‐electron sodium bond system of H₃C···Na? H (I), H₃C···Na? OH(II), H₃C···Na? F(III), H₃C···Na‐CCH(IV), H₃C···Na? CN (V) and H₃C···Na? NC (VI) complexes has been studied by using MP2/6‐311++G** and MP2/aug‐cc‐pVTZ methods for the first time. We demonstrated that the single‐electron sodium bond H₃C···Na? Y formed between H₃C and Na? Y (Y?H, OH, F, CCH, CN, and NC) could induce the Na? Y increased and stretching frequencies of I–IV and VI are red‐shifted, including the Na? N bond in complex V is blue‐shifted abnormally. The interaction energies are calculated at two levels of theory [MP2, CCSD(T)] with different basis. The results shows that the strength of binding bond in group 2 (IV–VI) with π electrons are stronger than that of group 1 (I–III) without π electrons. For all complexes, the main orbital interactions between moieties H₃C and Na? Y are LP₁(C)→LP*₁(Na). By comparisons with some related systems, it is concluded that the strength of single‐electron bond is increased in the order: hydrogen bond < bromine bond < sodium bond < lithium bond. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Theoretical study of stabling function of the NO to the (CH3)3CO · radical

The stabling function of the NO to the (CH₃)₃CO · radical has been theoretically investigated. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to optimize the geometries of relevant species. The single‐point energy is evaluated at CCSD(T)/6‐31++G** level. Three reaction channels of (CH₃)₃CO · + NO in the singlet state are considered. The calculations indicate that NO is a stable reagent of active radical (CH₃)₃CO. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Theoretical study on the atmospheric reaction of CH3O2 with OH

A quantum chemical investigation on the reaction mechanism of CH₃O₂ with OH has been performed. Based on B3LYP and QCISD(T) calculations, seven possible singlet pathways and seven possible triplet pathways have been found. On the singlet potential energy surface (PES), the most favorable channel starts with a barrierless addition of O atom to CH₃O₂ leading to CH₃OOOH and then the O? O bond dissociates to give out CH₃O + HO₂. On the triplet PES, the calculations indicate that the dominant products should be ³CH₂O₂ + H₂O with an energy barrier of 29.95 kJ/mol. The results obtained in this work enrich the theoretical information of the title reaction and provide guidance for analogous atmospheric chemistry reactions. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Gas‐phase reaction mechanism of Pd+ with CH3CHO: A density functional theoretical study

Details on the reactions of: (1) Pd⁺ + CH₃CHO → PdCO⁺ + CH₄ and (2) Pd⁺ + CH₃CHO → PdH + CH₃CO⁺ in the gas phase were investigated using density functional theory (B3LYP), in conjunction with the LANL2DZ+6‐311+G(d) basis set. Three encounter complexes were located on the potential energy surfaces and the calculations indicated that both the C? C and aldehyde C? H bond activation of acetaldehyde could lead to the dominant demethanation reaction. The charge transfer process for PdH abstraction was caused by an intramolecular PdH rearrangement of the newly found η¹‐aldehyde attached complex. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

磷叶立德CH2PH3和类磷叶立德自由基∙CHPH3优势构型和C—P键结构的研究

采用MP4/6-311++G(d,p)和B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)对磷叶立德CH₂PH₃和类磷叶立德自由基∙CHPH₃进行构型优化，从电子密度拓扑分析的角度对C—P键的键结构进行了探讨。得到如下结论：类磷叶立德自由基和磷叶立德的C—P键性质类似，但磷叶立德中π键由两个电子形成，类磷叶立德自由基中π键由一个电子形成，所以前者的π性明显，而后者的π性不明显。类磷叶立德自由基中的这个单电子在碳原子附近，垂直于对称面的方向上运动，有p_(C→P)配键的特征，所以类磷叶立德自由基∙CHPH₃中的C—P键比相应的产物∙CH₂PH₂中的C—P键要弱一些。     

Ab initio quantum chemical studies of reaction mechanism for CN with CH2CO

Six product channels have been found in the association reaction of CN + CH₂CO, and a variety of possible complexes and saddle points along the minimum energy reaction paths have been characterized at the UMP2(full)/6‐31G(d) level. The dominant reaction channels are the production of CH₂CN + CO and CH₂NC + CO.

A Pentanuclear Cobalt Complex with two [CoII(CH3O)3]– Units Wrapping a Triangular [CoIII3O]7+ Core: Synthesis,Structure, and Magnetic Properties

The reaction of Hppko (Hppko = phenyl 2‐pyridyl ketone oxime) and CoCl₂ · 6H₂O in the CH₃OH solvent with the presence of triethylamine (NEt₃) at room temperature and the exposure to air resulted in the formation of a new pentanuclear, mixed‐valence cobalt complex with the molecular formula [{Co^II(CH₃O)₃}₂{Co^III₃(μ₃‐O)(ppko)₃}Cl₂]. X‐ray single crystal analysis displays a trigonal bipyramid configuration with the terminal two Co^II ions wrapping an triangle [Co^III₃O]⁷⁺ core. The intermolecular C–H ··· O and C–H ··· Cl interactions form a 2D network framework. The analysis of magnetic susceptibility revealed the dominant antiferromagnetic interactions and strong orbital contribution of Co^II ions.     

The visible chemiluminescence of the reaction F + CH3F

By using molecular beam apparatus the visible (450–900 nm) chemiluminescence of the reaction F + CH₃F was investigated. Seven vibronic bands of HCF (Ã₁A-XA') and four vibrational bands of HF ground state overtone transitions were obtained. The relative vibrational state distributions of HF (V'=4,5,6) states and the rotational temperature of HF (V'=3) state were obtained. The analyses show that the two kinds of spectra were caused by the secondary reaction F+CH₃F. The results may be helpful to explain the contradictory results of the experiments in F+CH₃F system.     

[Be3(μ3‐O)3(MeCN)6{Be(MeCN)3}3](I)6 – ein Berylliumkomplex mit Cyclo‐(Be3O3)‐Kern und sein Hydrolyseprodukt [Be(H2O)4](I)2·2MeCN

Single crystals of [Be₃(μ₃‐O)₃(MeCN)₆{Be(MeCN)₃}₃](I)₆·4CH₃CN ( 1 ·4CH₃CN) were obtained in low yield by the reaction of beryllium powder with iodine in acetonitrile suspension, which probably result from traces of beryllium oxide containing the applied beryllium metal. The compound 1 ·4CH₃CN forms moisture sensitive, colourless crystal needles, which were characterized by IR spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction (Space group Pnma, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at 100(2) K: a = 2317.4(1), b = 2491.4(1), c = 1190.6(1) pm, R₁ = 0.0315). The hexaiodide complex cation 1 ⁶⁺consists of a cyclo‐Be₃O₃ core with slightly distorted chair conformation, stabilized by coordination of two acetonitrile ligands at each of the beryllium atoms and by a {Be(CH₃CN)₃}²⁺ cation at each of the oxygen atoms. This unique coordination behaviour results in coplanar OBe₃ units with short Be–O distances of 155.0 pm and 153.6 pm on average of bond lengths within the cyclo‐Be₃O₃ unit and of the peripheric BeO bonds, respectively. Exposure of compound 1 ·4CH₃CN to moist air leads to small orange crystal plates of [Be(H₂O)₄]I₂·2CH₃CN ( 3 ·2CH₃CN). According to the crystal structure determination (Space group C2/c, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at 100(2) K: a = 1220.7(1), b = 735.0(1), c = 1608.5(1) pm, β = 97.97(1)°, R₁ = 0.0394), all hydrogen atoms of the dication [Be(H₂O)₄]²⁺ are involved to form O–H ··· N and O–H ··· I hydrogen bonds with the acetonitrile molecules and the iodide ions, respectively. Quantum chemical calculations (B3LYP/6‐311+G**) at the model [Be₃(μ₃‐O)₃(HCN)₆{Be(HCN)₃}₃]⁶⁺ show that chair and boat conformation are stable and that the distorted chair conformation is stabilized by packing effects.     

Theoretical study of the mechanism of CH2CO + CN reaction

The potential energy surface information of the CH₂CO + CN reaction is obtained at the B3LYP/6‐311+G(d,p) level. To gain further mechanistic knowledge, higher‐level single‐point calculations for the stationary points are performed at the QCISD(T)/6‐311++G(d,p) level. The CH₂CO + CN reaction proceeds through four possible mechanisms: direct hydrogen abstraction, olefinic carbon addition–elimination, carbonyl carbon addition–elimination, and side oxygen addition–elimination. Our calculations demonstrate that R→IM1→TS3→P3: CH₂CN + CO is the energetically favorable channel; however, channel R→IM2→TS4→P4: CH₂NC + CO is considerably competitive, especially as the temperature increases (R, IM, TS, and P represent reactant, intermediate, transition state, and product, respectively). The present study may be helpful in probing the mechanism of the CH₂CO + CN reaction. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006

The X‐ray structure determination shows an almost linear [Tsi–Li–Tsi]^– anion connected by short agostic Li…C contacts with the threefold THF‐coordinated Li‐cation. Base‐free Tsi–Li, solved in toluene is decomposed by oxygen, forming the strawberry‐colored ketone O=C(SiMe₃)₂, which forms an 1 : 1 adduct with undecomposed Tsi–Li. The X‐ray structure elucidation of this compound is also discussed.
