An ab initio study of the Cl(P)+C2H6→C2H5+HCl abstraction reaction

Electronic energies, geometries, and harmonic vibration frequencies for the reactants, products, and transition state for the Cl(³P)+C₂H₆→C₂H₅+HCl abstraction reaction were evaluated at the HF and MP2 levels using several correlation consistent polarized-valence basis sets. Single-point calculations at PMP2, MP4, QCISD(T), and CCSD(T) levels were also carried out. The values of the forward activation energies obtained at the MP4/cc-pVTZ, QCISD(T)/cc-pVTZ, and CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ levels using the MP2/cc-pVTZ structures are equal to −0.1, −0.4, and −0.3 kcal/mol, respectively. The experimental value is equal to 0.3±0.2 kcal/mol. We found that the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ adiabatic vibration energy for the reaction (−2.4 kcal/mol) agrees well with the experimental value −(2.2–2.6) kcal/mol. Rate constants calculated with the zeroth-order interpolated variational transition state (IVTST-0) method are in good agreement with experiment. In general, the theoretical rate constants differ from experiment by, at most, a factor of 2.6.     

Pathways for the thermally induced dehydrogenation of C60H2

The thermolysis of C₆₀H₂ to yield C₆₀ and H₂ was studied by hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP/6-311G**//B3LYP/3-21G). The concerted loss of dihydrogen requires an activation energy of 92 kcalmol⁻¹ atT=452 K. An alternative radical mechanism, which is first order in the C₆₀H₂ concentration, has an activation energy at 452 K of only 61 kcalmol⁻¹. Monitoring of the C₆₀H₂ decomposition in 1,2-dichloro-[D₄]-benzene solution by NMR spectroscopy indicates a pseudo first-order reaction with an activation energy of 61.38±2.35 kcalmol⁻¹.     

Spectres infrarouges et structure des anions 2-methylallyle, CH3-C(CH2)2- et triméthylèneméthane, C(CH2)3

The infrared spectra of solid samples of C₄H₇K and C₄D₇K have been investigated in the 4000 to 30 cm⁻¹ range. A complete assignment of intramolecular fundamentals of C₄H₇⁻ and C₄D₇⁻ ions and of potassium-allyl vibrations is proposed and the intramolecular force constants are calculated. The C(CH₂)₃²⁻ anion has been identified spectroscopically. Structures of C₃H₅⁻, C₄H₇⁻ and C(CH₃)₃²⁻ are discussed and compared with those optimised by the MINDO/3 method.     

Ab initio computation of the potential energy surfaces of the water·hydrocarbon complexes H2O·C2H2, H2O·C2H4 and H2O·CH4: minimum energy structures, vibrational frequencies and hydrogen bond energies

On the basis of ab initio MP2/6–31 + + G(2d,2p) calculations, we examined the potential energy surfaces of the water·hydrocarbon complexes H₂O·CH₄, H₂O·C₂H₂ and H₂O·C₂H₂ to locate all the minimum energy structures and estimate the hydrogen bond energies and vibrational frequencies associated with the C(spⁿ)---H·O and the O---H·C(spⁿ) bonds (n = 1−3). Our calculations show that H₂O·C₂H₂, H₂O·C₂H₄ and H₂O·CH₄ have two minimum energy structures (i.e., the C---H·O and O---H·C hydrogen bond forms), but H₂O·C₂H₄ has only one when the vibrational motion is taken into account, the O---H·C hydrogen bond form. We have also computed the barrier for the interconversion from one minimum to the other. The fully optimized geometries of H₂O·CH₄, H₂O·C₂H₄ and H₂O·C₂H₂ as well as the vibrational shifts of the C---H stretching frequencies in their C---H·O hydrogen-bonded forms are in good agreement with the available experimental data. The calculated hydrogen bond energies show that the C(spⁿ---H·O bond strengths decrease in the order C(sp)---H·O>C(sp²)---H·O>C(sp³)---O>C(sp³---H·O, which is also consistent with the available experimental data.     

Direct dynamic study on the hydrogen abstraction reaction C2(Πu)+H2 → C2H+H

The ab initio direct dynamics method at the G2//UQCISD/6-311 + G(d,p) level is employed to study the hydrogen abstraction reaction C₂(³Π_u)+H₂ → C₂H+H over a wide temperature range 100–4650 K. The barrier heights obtained for the forward and reverse reactions are 7.78 and 17.53 kcal/mol, respectively. Comparing with one recent experiment, the calculated forward rate constants over the temperature range 2580–4650 K are about 4.4–13.5 times greater and show a steeper temperature-dependent effect. This indicates that further experimental investigation on this simple radical reaction may still be desired. Finally, G2//UQCISD/6-311 + G(2df,2p) calculations are performed to test the reliability of the G2//UQCISD/6-311 + G(d,p) results.

Homochiral cyclopentane-based C1-symmetric P,P ligands C5H8(PPh2)(PR2) from C2-symmetric C5H8(PCl2)2

Treatment of 1,2-trans-C₅H₈(PCl₂)₂ with 1,2-C₂H₄(NHPr-i)₂ gave the C₂-symmetric perhydro-1,6,2,5-diazaphosphocine C₅H₈{P(Cl)N(Pr-i)CH₂}₂-cyclo, which produced dissymmetric C₅H₈(PPh₂){P[N(Pr-i)CH₂]₂-cyclo} on further reaction with PhMgBr. Cleavage of the P---N bonds with gaseous HCl afforded C₅H₈(PPh₂)(PCl₂), which was converted to C₅H₈(PPh₂){P(OPh)₂}₂ by reaction with phenol. All chiral P,P derivatives were obtained as racemates as well as resolved (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-enantiomers.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of (C8h8)Nd(C5H9C5H4) (THF)2 and [(C8H8)Gd(C5H9C4H4(THF)][(C8H8)GD(C5H9C5H4(THF)2]

LnCl₃ (Ln=Nd, Gd) reacts with C₅H₉C₅H₄Na (or K₂C₈H₈) in THF (C₅H₉C₅H₄ = cyclopentylcyclopentadienyl) in the ratio of 1 : to give (C₅H₉C₅H₄)LnCl₂(THF)_n (orC₈H₈)LnCl₂(THF)_n], which further reacts with K₂C₈H₈ (or C₅H₉C₅H₄Na) in THF to form the litle complexes. If Ln=Nd the complex (C₈H₈)Nd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (a) was obtained: when Ln=Gd the 1 : 1 complex [(C₈H₈)Gd(C_%H₉)(THF)][(C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉H₄)(THF)₂] (b) was obtained in crystalline form.

The crystal structure analysis shows that in (C₈H₈)Ln(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (Ln=Nd or Gd), the Cyclopentylcyclopentadieny (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and two oxygen atoms from THF are coordinated to Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺) with coordination number 10.

The centroid of the cyclopentadienyl ring (Cp′) in C₅H₉C₅H₄ group, cyclooctatetraenyl centroid (COTL) and two oxygens (THF) form a twisted tetrahedron around Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺). In (C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF), the cyclopentyl-cyclopentadienyl (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and one oxygen atom are coordinated to Gd³⁺ with the coordination number of 9 and Cp′, COT and oxygen atom form a triangular plane around Gd³⁺, which is almost in the plane (dev. -0.0144 Å).     

An ab initio and matrix isolation infrared study of the 1:1 C2H2–CHCl3 adduct

The details of weak C–Hπ interactions that control several inter and intramolecular structures have been studied experimentally and theoretically for the 1:1 C₂H₂–CHCl₃ adduct. The adduct was generated by depositing acetylene and chloroform in an argon matrix and a 1:1 complex of these species was identified using infrared spectroscopy. Formation of the adduct was evidenced by shifts in the vibrational frequencies compared to C₂H₂ and CHCl₃ species. The molecular structure, vibrational frequencies and stabilization energies of the complex were predicted at the MP2/6-311+G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) levels. Both the computational and experimental data indicate that the C₂H₂–CHCl₃ complex has a weak hydrogen bond involving a C–Hπ interaction, where the C₂H₂ acts as a proton acceptor and the CHCl₃ as the proton donor. In addition, there also appears to be a secondary interaction between one of the chlorine atoms of CHCl₃ and a hydrogen in C₂H₂. The combination of the C–Hπ interaction and the secondary ClH interaction determines the structure and the energetics of the C₂H₂–CHCl₃ complex. In addition to the vibrational assignments for the C₂H₂–CHCl₃ complex we have also observed and assigned features owing to the proton accepting C₂H₂ submolecule in the acetylene dimer.

In the reaction with 8-hydroxyquinoline the arene ruthenium(II) complex oxidized to Ru(III). The electronic spectra of the obtained compounds have been calculated using the TDDFT method. Magnetic properties of [Ru(C₉H₆NO)₃] · CH₃OH complex suggest the antiferromagnetic coupling of the ruthenium centers in the crystal lattice. EPR spectrum of [Ru(C₉H₆NO)₃] · CH₃OH compound indicates single isotropic line only characteristic for Ru³⁺ with spin equal to 1/2.     

Synthesis and characterization of (C5H9C9H6)2Yb(THF)2(II) (1) and [(C5H9C5H4)2Yb(THF)]2O2 (2), and ring-opening polymerization of lactones with 1

Reaction of YbI₂ with two equivalents of cyclopentylindenyl lithium (C₅H₉C₉H₆Li) affords ytterbium(II) substituted indenyl complex (C₅H₉C₉H₆)₂Yb(THF)₂ (1) which shows high activity to ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactones. The reaction between YbI₂ and cyclopentylcyclopentadienyl sodium (C₅H₉C₅H₄Na) gives complex [(C₅H₉C₅H₄)₂Yb(THF)]₂O₂ (2) in the presence of a trace amount of O₂, the molecular structure of which comprises two (C₅H₉C₅H₄)₂Yb(THF) bridged by an asymmetric O₂ unit.

Geometry and nature of the binding of the pre-reactive complex C2H4…ClF from its rotational spectrum

The encounter complex C₂H₄…ClF was isolated by using a fast-mixing nozzle before chemical reaction could occur between the components and was characterised by Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy. Rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, Cl nuclear quadrupole constants and Cl spin-rotation constants were determined for the isotopomers C₂H₄…³⁵ClF and C₂H₄…³⁷ClF. The complex has C_2v symmetry with the ClF subunit perpendicular to the plane of C₂H₄ and oriented so that Cl is closer to C₂H₄. Both the centrifugal distortion constant Δ_J and the Cl nuclear quadrupole coupling constants indicate that the complex is relatively weakly bound and it is concluded that the interaction between the subunits is largely electrostatic in origin.     

The decomposition of C4H8 complexes at controlled internal energies

A coincidence technique is used to study the influence of the internal energy of the reactant ion on the cross section of the ion-molecule reactions in the C₂H₄⁺ + C₂H₄ system. The experiment is performed at thermal collision energies. In the ion-molecule reactions of C₂H₄⁺ + C₂H₄ our measurements indicate a barrier between the initially formed collision complex (C₂H₄)₂⁺* and a tight complex (C₄H₈⁺)*. Using an extension of our earlier developed statistical model, now including a potential barrier between the initially formed loose complex (C₂H₄)₂⁺* and the tight complex (C₄H₈⁺)*, our experimental data can be reproduced. For comparison also the internal energy dependence of the unimolecular decomposition of photoionised 1-C₄H₈⁺ is measured. Assuming that the photoionised 1-C₄H₈⁺ is identical with the tight (C₄H₈⁺)* complex, the model applied to the ion-molecule reactions describes also the unimolecular decay of 1-C₄H₈⁺ correctly, using the same set of parameters.     

NH2/ND2-vapour pressure isotope effect of cyclopropylamine

The NH₂/ND₂-vapour pressure isotope effect has been determined between 283 and 333 K for cyclopropylamine, an amine with a strong ring strain. The measurements are represented by the relation ln[P(C₃H₅N²H₂)/P(C₃H₅NH₂)] = −(8821.73 ± 68.949) (K/T)² + (23.379 ± 0.223)K/T and correspond to a normal (P_D/P_H < 1) effect. They suggest an association that is slightly weaker than that of propylamine and nearly agrees with that of isopropylamine. The differences are discussed in terms of acidities and steric factors.     

Thermal studies of novel molecular perovskite energetic material (C6H14N2)[NH4(ClO4)3]

(C6H(14)N2)[NH4(ClO4)3] is a newly developed porous hybrid inorganic-organic framework material with easy access and excellent detonation performances,however,its thermal properties is still unclear and severely hampered further applications.In this study,thermal behaviors and non-isothermal decomposition reaction kinetics of(C6H(14)N2)[NH4(ClO4)3] were investigated systematically by the combination of differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and simultaneous thermal analysis methods.In-situ FTIR spectroscopy technology was applied for investigation of the structure changes of(C6H(14)N2) NH4(ClO4)3]and some selected referents for better understanding of interactions between different components during the heating process.Experiment results indicated that the novel molecular perovskite structure renders(C6H(14)N2)[NH4(ClO4)3] better thermal stability than most of currently used energetic materials.Underhigh temperature s,the stability of the cage skeleton constructed by NH4^+and ClO4^-ions determined the decomposition process rather than organic moiety confined in the skeleton.The simple synthetic method,good detonation performances and excellent thermal properties make(C6H(14)N2)[NH4(ClO4)3] an ideal candidate for the preparation of advanced explosives and propellants.     

Stability of the silicon-ruthenium bond in the presence of a strong nucleophile. Phase sensitive H NMR COSY and crystal structure of Ru(CO)2(NH2CH2C6H5)2(Si(C6H5)(CH3)2)I

The ruthenium(II) complex Ru(CO)₂(NH₂(NH₂CH₂C₆H₅)₂(Si(C₆H₅)(CH₃)₂)I has been prepared by the reaction of Ru(CO)₄(Si(C₆H₅)(CH₃)₂)I with benzylamine.

X-ray analysis of Ru(CO)₂(NH₂CH₂C₆H₅)₂(Si(C₆H₅)(CH₃)₂)I·1/3C₅H₁₂ (triclinic; P ; a = 14.266(4), b = 15.748(5), c = 20.082(6) Å; = 94.38(3), β = 96.30(2), γ = 101.52(2)°) indicates three crystallographically unique complexes form a clathrate with a pentane guest.     

Binary systems of C60 with positional isomers 1,2- and 1,3-C6H4Br2

Thermodynamic properties of binary systems of C₆₀ with 1,2- and 1,3-dibromobenzenes have been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Solid solvates with the compositions C₆₀3(1,2-C₆H₄Br₂); C₆₀2(1,3-C₆H₄Br₂) and C₆₀0.6(1,3-C₆H₄Br₂) have been found. The solvates have been characterised by their enthalpies and temperatures of incongruent melting transition and in part by X-ray powder data. It has been shown that positional isomers 1,2- and 1,3- of the substituted benzenes formed two series of “typical” phase diagrams. Solubility behaviour of C₆₀ in positional isomers has been discussed.

The structure of the (C₁₈H₈Se₃O₂)₂(C₆H₅CN) molecular complex isolated from the TSeT + HgI₂ reaction in benzonitrile has been determined. The -Se-Se-Se- fragment has been found to have Se---Se bond lengths equal to 2.348(3) and 2.350(4) Å.     

丙烷在Ce-Fe/Al2O3/cordierite上选择性催化还原NO

利用凝胶溶胶法和浸渍法制备了Ce-Fe/Al₂O₃/cordierite催化剂,实验研究了其催化丙烷选择性还原NO的特性。结果表明,当铈的负载量从1%增加至5%时,Ce-Fe/Al₂O₃/cordierite的C₃H₈-SCR性能先增强后减弱,3.5Ce-Fe/Al₂O₃/cordierite具有最佳的脱硝性能,在有氧条件下,600℃时可实现96.5%的脱硝效率。Ce的加入能够提升Fe/Al₂O₃/cordierite催化剂的抗硫性能。烟气中通入0.02%的SO₂后,3.5Ce-Fe/Al₂O₃/cordierite催化丙烷还原NO的转化率始终维持在93%,而没有经过Ce修饰的Fe/Al₂O₃/cordierite的NO转化率从88%下降为80%左右。利用XRD、N₂吸附-脱附、SEM、H₂-TPR、吡啶吸附红外光谱等手段研究了催化剂的物理化学性质。结果表明,加入助剂铈能与Fe形成了固溶体,增加催化剂表面Lewis酸浓度和氧化还原能力,从而提高了催化丙烷还原NO的性能。过多的铈引入会减少Fe₂O₃结晶体的形成,不利于在C₃H₈-SCR反应中形成NO₂/NO₃^-物种,从而导致NO还原效率下降。
