Hydration-induced conformational changes in protonated 2,4-pentanedione in the gas phase

Starting with H⁺[CH₃C(O)CH₂C(O)CH₃] (denoted H⁺PD), the protonated diketone-water clusters H⁺PD(H₂O) _n (n = 1–3) have been characterized by density functional theory calculations in combination with vibrational predissociation spectroscopy to explore the conformational changes of a protonated bifunctional ion solvated by water in the gas phase. Theoretical calculations for H⁺PD revealed that the ion contains an intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB), with two oxygen atoms bridged by the extra proton in an O—H⁺ … O form. Attachment of one water molecule to it readily ruptures this IHB, replacing the H⁺ by the H₃O⁺ moiety. Further replacement of the IHB by two water molecules occurs at n = 2 and the ?C(O)CH₂C(O)- chain is fully opened (or unfolded) after transfer of the extra proton to the water trimer at n = 3. To verify the computational findings, infrared spectroscopic measurements were performed using a vibrational predissociation ion trap spectrometer to identify cluster isomers from the signatures of hydrogen bonded and non-hydrogen bonded OH stretching spectra of H⁺PD(H₂O)_2,3 produced in a corona discharge supersonic expansion. Besides open form isomers, evidence for the formation of water-bridged structures has been found for H⁺PD(H₂O)₃ at an estimated temperature of 200 K. A detailed illustration of the unfolding steps as well as the energy profiles for the evolution of a two-water bridge isomer from the protonated H⁺PD monomer are analysed pictorially (including both stable intermediates and transition states) in the present investigation.     

Syntheses, structures, fluorescence and thermal properties of three lanthanide coordination polymers built by N-benzoyl-N′-(4-benzoxy)thiourea

Three novel lanthanide 1-D chain coordination polymers, namely {[Tb(μ₂-L)₂(η²-NO₃)(CH₃OH)(H₂O)]·0.5CH₃OH·0.5H₂O}_n (1), {[Dy(μ₂-L)₂(η²-NO₃)(CH₃OH)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n (2) and {[Ce(μ₂-L)₂(η²-NO₃)(H₂O)₃]·H₂O}_n (3) (HL=N-benzoyl-N′-(4-benzoxy)thiourea), have been prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Time-dependent density functional theory study on electronic excited states of the hydrogen-bonded solute-solvent phenol-(H2O)n (n=3-5) clusters

The solute-solvent interactions of hydrogen-bonded phenol-(H₂O)_n (n=3-5) clusters in electronic excited states were investigated by means of the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The geometric structures and IR spectra in ground state, S₁ state, and T₁ state of the clusters, were calculated using the density functional theory (DFT) and TDDFT methods. Only the ring form isomer, the most stable one of the cluster, was considered in this study. Four, five and six intermolecular hydrogen bonds were formed in phenol-(H₂O)₃, phenol-(H₂O)₄, and phenol-(H₂O)₅ clusters, respectively. Based on the analysis of IR spectra, it is revealed that the “window region” between unshifted and shifted absorption bands in both S₁ and T₁ state becomes broader compared with that in ground state for the corresponding clusters. Furthermore, two interesting phenomenon were observed: (1) with the anticlockwise order of the ring formed by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the H-bonded phenol-(H₂O)_n (n=3-5) clusters, the strengths of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds decrease in all the S₀, S₁ and T₁ states; (2) upon electronic excitation, the smaller the distance between phenol and water is, the larger the change of intermolecular hydrogen bonds strength is. Moreover, the intermolecular hydrogen bond (phenolic OH is the H donor) is strengthened in excited state compared with that in ground state. But the intermolecular hydrogen bond (phenolic OH is the H acceptor) is weakened in excited state.     

An ab initio LCAO-MO-SCF study of reaction paths for proton transfer in ammonium aqueous solution

The possible mechanisms for proton transfer in ammonium aqueous solutions are discussed through ab initio LCAO-MO-SCF calculations for the following hydrogen-bonded complexes : [NH₄ ⁺ … NH₃] ; [NH₄ ⁺ … OH₂] ; [NH₄ ⁺ … OH₂ … OH₂] ; [NH₄ ⁺ … OH₂ … NH₃] and [H₂O … NH₄ ⁺ … OH₂ … OH₂]. The energy curve along the reaction coordinate is drawn for the first three systems. A double well potential curve is obtained for the two symmetrical systems with a very low barrier to proton transfer : 2·9 kcal/mole for the system [NH₄ ⁺ … NH₃] and 4·3 kcal/mole for the system [NH₄ ⁺ … H₂O … NH₃]. For both systems the exchange mechanism involves three successive steps : association, transfer and dissociation. Solvation may affect the energetics of the first and third steps. For the unsymmetrical system NH₄ ⁺ + H₂O, the energy would increase continuously during the steps of proton transfer and dissociation. Hence the process of proton transfer between an ammonium ion and a water molecule may take place in solution only if assisted either by solvation or by a concerted push-pull mechanism involving a third molecule [NH₄ ⁺ … OH₂ … NH₃]. Theoretical results for the systems [NH₄ ⁺ … OH₂ … OH₂] and [NH₃ … H₃O⁺ … H₂O] show, indeed, that solvation should make the proton transfer easier. In any case the proton transfer is found to occur through a contraction of the associated species formed in the first step.     

Study on charge transfer interaction and valence state of layered perovskite-type mixed valence complex [NH3(CH2) n NH3]2[(AuII2)(AuIIII4)(I3)2] (n = 7, 8), by means of 197Au Mössbauer spectroscopy

Cs₂[Au^I X ₂][Au^III X ₄](X = Cl, Br, and I) is well known for the three-dimensional perovskite-type gold mixed valence system. Recently, layered perovskite-type gold mixed valence complexes, [NH₃(CH₂) _n NH₃]₂[(Au^II₂)(Au^IIII₄)(I₃)₂] (n = 7 and 8), have been synthesized. We have investigated the relationship between the structural dimensionality and the Au^I–Au^III charge transfer interaction for Cs₂[Au^II₂][Au^IIII₄] and [NH₃(CH₂) _n NH₃]₂[(Au^II₂)(Au^IIII₄)(I₃)₂] (n = 7 and 8) by means of ¹⁹⁷Au Mössbauer spectroscopy.     

Ru L2,3 XANES theoretical simulation with DFT: A test of the core-hole treatment

Density functional theory (DFT)-based relativistic calculations were performed to model the Ru L-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra of the hexaammineruthenium complex [Ru(NH₃)₆]³⁺ and “blue dimer” water oxidation catalyst, cis,cis- [(bpy)₂(H₂O)Ru^IIIORu^III(OH₂)(bpy)₂]⁴⁺ (bpy is 2,2-bipyridine). Two computational approaches were compared: simulations without the core-hole and by modeling of the core-hole within the Z+1 approximation. Good agreement between calculated and experimental XANES spectra is achieved without including the core-hole. Simulations with algorithms beyond the Z+1 approximation were only possible in a framework of the scalar relativistic treatment. Time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) was used to compute the Ru L-edge spectrum for [Ru(NH₃)₆]³⁺ model compound. Three different core-hole treatments were compared in a real-space full multiple scattering XANES modeling within the Green function formalism (implemented in the FEFF9.5 package) for the [Ru(Mebimpy)(bpm)(H₂O)]²⁺ complex. The latter approaches worked well in cases where spin–orbit treatment of relativistic effects is not required.     

Structures of proton solvates in the HCl-H2O-(CH3)2NCHO system as determined by IR spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations

The structures of proton solvates in the HCl-H₂O-(CH₃)₂NCHO (DMFA) system at H₂O: DMFA ratios ranging from 1: 1 to 21: 1 are studied by the IR spectroscopy method. It is demonstrated that H₂O?H⁺?OH₂ ions and (CH₃)₂NCHO?H⁺?OH₂ mixed solvates with a strong quasi-symmetrical hydrogen bond are formed in solutions. With an increase in the DMFA concentration, the fraction of H₅O ₂ ⁺ ions decreases. At HCl: H₂O ≥ 1: 3 and arbitrary DMFA concentrations, only mixed proton solvates are formed. The continuous absorption coefficients for the (CH₃)₂NCHO?H⁺?OH₂ ions are determined. The results obtained are compared with the results of quantum-chemical calculations of the structure and relative stability of the (DMFA) _m H⁺(H₂O) _n (m = 0–2, n = 0–3) positively charged complexes which were performed by the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) DFT method. We identified 19 stable configurations with chain, cyclic, and branched structures. Most of these configurations contain the (CH₃)₂NCHO?H⁺?OH₂ fragment. The parameters of the O?H⁺?O bridge show that some configurations have a strong quasi-symmetrical hydrogen bond. In some cases, the proton is located between two DMFA molecules. The H₂O?H⁺?OH₂ bridge is observed in none of the stable configurations of the (DMFA) _m H⁺(H₂O) _n (m ≠ 0) complexes.     

Investigations on field desorption products from silver surfaces by mass spectrometry

Field evaporation of silver and field desorption of silver surface compounds were investigated by analysing positive ions with a mass spectrometer. In particular, the well known adsorption states of oxygen, and further the interactions of H₂O, NH₃, H₂, CO and CH₄ were measured in the field ion mass spectrometer under steady state fields of > 0.1 V/Å with a sensitivity of < 0.1 ions s^?1 and at temperatures between 80 °K and 425 °K. Although oxygen is usually chemisorbed at Ag surfaces, no AgO⁺, AgO⁺₂ or other Ag-O compounds could be detected as positive ions, Ag⁺ and O₂⁺ are the only observed ions at best image fields in oxygen up to fields of field evaporation of Ag⁺(≈ 2.2 V/Å). Even after the actual adsorption of oxygen with zero-field (6 × 10⁵ Langmuir at 10^?3 Torr) at 323 °K and 473 °K and subsequent application of the desorption field at 210°K no silver-oxygen compounds were found in positive ionic form. Small quantities of AgO⁺ and AgO⁺₂ were only formed — besides Ag(H₂O)_x⁺ complexes — if atomic oxygen was supplied by the field induced dissociation of water.Gases which do not adsorb on silver under zero-field conditions (H₂, CO, CH₄, N₂) yield the ions Ag(H₂)_n, Ag(CO)_n⁺, n=1, 2; AgCH₄⁺, AgN₂⁺. The situation with H₂O and NH₃ is more complicated: Molecular ions [Ag(H₂O)_n]⁺·mH₂O, n=1,…, 4, m=1,…, 8 and [Ag(NH₃)_n]⁺·mNH₃, n=1, 2, m=1,…, 6 are found besides Ag⁺.From the temperature and field dependence conclusions are drawn about the mechanisms of evaporation and formation of ionic surface complexes. The activation energies of evaporation of Ag⁺ are found to depend on the square root of the field strength. In general, the generation of surface compounds can be described by field induced reactions rather than usual gas adsorption.     

Raman spectroscopic study of the uranyl carbonate mineral zellerite

Raman and infrared spectra of the uranyl mineral zellerite, Ca[(UO₂)(CO₃)₂(H₂O)₂]·3H₂O, were measured and tentatively interpreted. U O bond in uranyl and O H···O hydrogen bonds were calculated from the vibrational spectra. The presence of structurally nonequivalent water molecules in the crystal structure of zellerite was inferred. A proposed chemical formula of zellerite is supported. Raman bands at 3514, 3375 and 2945 cm⁻¹and broad infrared bands at 3513, 3396 and 3326 cm⁻¹ are related to the ν OH stretching vibrations of hydrogen‐bonded water molecules. Observed wavenumbers of these vibrations prove that in fact hydrogen bonds participate in the crystal structure of zellerite. The presence of two bands at 1618 and 1681 cm⁻¹ proves structurally distinct and nonequivalent water molecules in the crystal structure of zellerite. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
