Quantitative Correlation of the Acute Toxicity of Phenylthio-carboxylates with Their Structural and Thermodynamic Parameters by DFT Calculation

1 INTRODUCTION As industrial raw materials and pesticide, thio-ether, sulfoxide and sulfone have been used moreand more extensively. On the other hand, they havealso attracted chemists’ much attention due to theirpotential environmental hazards. Quantitative struc-ture-activity relationship (QSAR) is an effective me-thod evaluating the hazards of organic chemicals[1].QSAR equation could be employed to forecast thebiological activity of unknown compounds, which issignificant for initia…     

Quantitative Correlation of Chromatographic Retention and Acute Toxicity for Alkyl（1- phenylsulfonyl） Cycloalkane Carboxylates and Their Structural Parameters by DFT

1 INTRODUCTION Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR)is one of the necessary methods that could be emp- loyed to evaluate the hazards of organic chemicals. QSAR equation could be applied to predict the biological activity of unknown compounds, espe- cially for initial screening and evaluation of toxic compounds[1]. Moreover, the quantitative relation- ship between molecular structure and chromatogra- phic retention (capacity factor lgKW) could also bedeveloped to explain …     

Estimation of n-Octanol/water Partition Coefficients （lgKow） and the Aqueous Solubility （-lgSw） of all PCDF Congeners by Density Functional Theory

1 INTRODUCTION As is widely known, PCDFs together with poly- chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and poly- chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been included in many blacklists, such as “persistent organic pol- lutants (POPs)” and suspected “environmental en- docrine disruptors (EEDs)”. This is because PC- DFs are chemically and thermally stable and com- plex PCDF mixtures are generally resistant to bio- degradation. Although the concentration of these chemicals is quite low o…

A first principles calculations and experimental study of the ground- and excited-state properties of ladder oligo(p-aniline)s

The molecular structure of three ladder oligo(p-aniline)s, 5,11-diethyl-6,12-dimethylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (DIMER 2P), 14-ethyl-5,8-dihydro-diindolo[3,2-b:2',3'-h]carbazole (TRIMER 2P), and 5,8,14-triethyl-diindolo[3,2-b:2',3'-h]carbazole (TRIMER 3P) were investigated by first principles calculations at the Hartree-Fock (HF6-31G*) and density functional theory (DFTB3LYP6-31G*) levels. It is found that the agreement between theoretical and x-ray geometrical parameters is good and rather similar for both theoretical methods. The nature and the energy of the first two singlet-singlet electronic transitions have been obtained by Zerner intermediate neglect of differential overlap/spectroscopy semiempirical calculations performed on the HF6-31G* and DFTB3LYP6-31G* optimized geometries, as well as time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations performed on the DFTB3LYP6-31G* optimized structures. For all the compounds and for all the theoretical approaches, it is observed that the S(1)<--S(0) electronic transition (pipi*) is weakly allowed and polarized along the short axis (y) of the molecule. On the other hand, the S(2)<--S(0) electronic transition of each oligomer possesses a much larger oscillator strength and is polarized along the long (x) molecular axis. It is found that TDDFT calculations provide the best overall agreement between the energies and the corresponding optical transitions obtained from the absorption bands (0-0 peaks) measured in dichloromethane as well as providing a good evaluation of the bathochromic shifts caused by the increase in the conjugation length or by the presence of extra alkyl chains on the nitrogen atoms in TRIMER 3P compared to TRIMER 2P.     

Hydrogen peroxide clusters: the role of open book motif in cage and helical structures

Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations using 6-31G*, 6-311++G(d,p), aug-cc-pVDZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets show that hydrogen peroxide molecular clusters tend to form hydrogen-bonded cyclic and cage structures along the lines expected of a molecule which can act as a proton donor as well as an acceptor. These results are reiterated by density functional theoretic (DFT) calculations with B3LYP parametrization and also by second-order M?ller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) theory using 6-31G* and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. Trends in stabilization energies and geometrical parameters obtained at the HF level using 6-311++G(d,p), aug-cc-pVDZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets are similar to those obtained from HF/6-31G* calculation. In addition, the HF calculations suggest the formation of stable helical structures for larger clusters, provided the neighbors form an open book structure.     

Effect of electron correlation on theoretical vibrational frequencies

Theoretical HF /6-31G * (Hartree–Fock, 6-31G * basis set) and MP 2/6-31G * (second-order Møller–Plesset, 6-31G * basis set) vibrational frequencies based on complete quadratic force fields have been obtained for a set of 36 one- and two-heavy-atom molecules comprising first-row elements for which experimental spectroscopic data are available. Frequencies calculated at the HF /6-31G * level are an average of 12.6% higher than experimental values. Partial treatment of electron correlation via the perturbation method of Møller and Plesset, terminated at second order, leads to a significant reduction in this error, although theoretical MP 2/6-31G * frequencies are still larger than the experimental quantities by 7.3%. Part of the difference may be traced to the restriction of quadratic force fields, as comparison with experimental harmonic frequencies shows deviations of only 9.5% and 4.7% for the two levels, respectively. The calculated frequencies are used in conjunction with the corresponding theoretical equilibrium structures to obtain absolute molecular entropies, which may in turn be used to yield entropies of reaction. These latter quantities are generally in good accord with entropies derived using experimental structures and frequencies.
