Theoretical Studies on the Molecular Structures and Thermodynamic Properties of Polychlorinated Acenaphthylenes

Geometric structures of 135 polychlorinated acenaphthylene (PCAC) molecules were optimized using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311G** level and some thermodynamic properties of them in the ideal gas state were calculated. The relations of these thermodynamic properties with the number and position of chlorine atoms were also explored, from which the relative stability of PCAC congeners was theoretically proposed according to the magnitude of the relative standard Gibbs free energy of formation (△r,fGθ). The results show that all PCAC isomers have planar geometric configuration. There exists intramolecular Cl···Cl weak interaction in some PCAC molecules. The change of △fHθ and fGθ of most stable PCAC isomers with increasing the number of chlorine atoms is different from that in the least stable PCAC congeners. The values of fHθ and fGθ for PCAC isomers with the same number of chlorine atoms show a strong dependence on the position of chlorine atoms and the relative stability of PCAC congeners has close relation with the intramolecular Cl···Cl nuclear repulsive interaction.

The thermodynamic properties of xanthone(XTH) and 135 polybrominated xanthones(PBXTHs) in the standard state have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G* level using Gaussian 03 program.The isodesmic reactions were designed to calculate the standard enthalpy of formation(△fHθ) and standard free energy of formation(△fGθ) of PBXTH congeners.The relations of these thermodynamic parameters with the number and position of Br atom substitution(NPBS) were discussed,and it was found that there exist high correlation between thermodynamic parameters(entropy(Sθ),△fHθ and △fGθ) and NPBS.According to the relative magnitude of their △fGθ,the relative stability order of PBXTH congeners was theoretically proposed.The relative rate constants of formation reactions of PBXTH congeners were calculated,Moreover,the values of molar heat capacity at constant pressure(Cp,m) from 200 to 1000 K for PBXTH congeners were also calculated,and the temperature dependence relation of them was obtained,suggesting very good relationships between Cp,m and temperature(T,T-1 and T-2) for almost all PBXTH congeners.

Furthermore, the relationship between thermodynamic parameters and the position and number (NPBS) of Brsubstitution were also discussed. To our interest, a good dependence can be observed among entropy (S), ΔfH, ΔfG and NPBS. Ultimately, the theoretical stability order of isomers can be decided judging from the ΔfG value.

Theoretical Studies on the Molecular Structures and Thermodynamic Properties of Polychlorinated Fluoranthenes

DFT-B3LYP/6-311G** method has been used to optimize molecular geometric structures of 527 polychlorinated fluoranthene(PCFRT) congeners and calculate their thermo-dynamic properties in the ideal gas state,such as heat capacity at constant volume(Cv),entropy(S),standard enthalpy of formation(ΔfH) and standard Gibbs free energy of formation(ΔfG).The relations of Cv,S,ΔfH and ΔfG with the number and position of chlorine atoms have also been explored,from which the relative stability of PCFRT congeners was theoretically proposed according to the magnitude of the relative standard Gibbs free energy of formation(Δr,fG).It was found that some of the PCFRT isomers are in a nonplanar configuration and there are intramolecular Cl…Cl weak interactions in some of the isomers.With increasing the number of chlorine atoms,the values of ΔfH and ΔfG of the most stable PCFRT isomers decrease initially and then increase.The values of ΔfH and ΔfG of PCFRT congeners with the same number of chlorine atoms show a strong dependence on the positions of chlorine atoms.The relative thermodynamic stability of PCFRT isomers is determined mainly by intramolecular adjacent Cl…Cl nuclear repulsive interaction between Cl atoms at two different six-membered rings.Most PCFRT congeners are easier to form thermodynamically than their parent compound.

Extensive study on physicochemical properties of polychlorinated biphenyls in a commercial ion trap mass spectrometer,relevance in analytical and environmental chemistry

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) exist as 209 congeners, consisting of biphenyl molecules, where the number and substitution positions of halogen atoms are known to affect industrial uses, environmental transport mechanisms, distribution, fate, and toxicity. The complexity of the problem requires accurate physicochemical studies of an increasing number of congeners in order to understand the environmental and biological processes at play. This work presents a systematic study on the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of PCBs by quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry. A clear relationship between structure and behavior of PCBs in mass spectrometry experiments has been observed. Overall data demonstrate that di‐ortho congeners show lower thermodynamic stability and higher fragmentation rate than non/mono‐ortho. Congeners follow different fragmentation mechanisms according to the number of chlorine atoms in ortho position of the biphenyl system. Experimental kinetic curves of mono/non‐ortho and di‐ortho congeners show a strong similarity with classical first‐order kinetics curves; in particular, di‐ortho congeners follow a first‐order consecutive reaction, while mono/non‐ortho follow a first‐order parallel reaction. For each studied congener, the kinetic constant of reaction (fragmentation) has been determined. Data support environmental levels and biochemical transformations described in literature. The general picture of the PCB behavior inside a quadrupole ion trap provides the basis for the development of reliable and cost‐effective analytical methods to the determination of ultra‐low level trace of PCB congeners.     

Thermodynamic Properties and Relative Stability of Polyhydroxylated Dibenzo-p dioxins Calculated by Density Functional Theory

In this work, partial thermodynamic properties of polyhydroxylated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PHODDs) are calculated by density functional theory (DFT) with the Gaussian 03 program at the B3LYP/6-311G** level. By comparing the total energy Eθ values, it is found that two types of hydrogen bonds exist in PHODDs, one between a hydroxyl and the parent compound (dibenzop-dioxin) with bond energy of approximate 15.7 kJ/mol and the other between two ortho hydroxyl groups with higher bond energy of about 18.3 kJ/mol. Hydrogen bonds have an effect on the conformation stability. On the basis of evaluating the strength of these two types of hydrogen bonds, 75 most stable congeners are ascertained. The relations of calculated thermodynamic parameters (total energy Eθ, zero-point vibrational energy ZPE, correction value of thermal energy Ethθ, heat capacity at constant volume CVθ) with the number and position of hydroxyl substitution (NPHOS) are also discussed. The results show that the NPHOS models can be used to predict the thermodynamic properties for PHODD congeners. In addition, the values of molar heat capacities at constant pressure (Cp,m) from 200 to 1000 K for PHODD congeners are calculated, and the temperature dependence relation of Cp,m is obtained with the least-squares method.

Comparative Study on Thermodynamic Properties and Stabilities of Polychloro-phenazines and Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxin

The thermodynamic properties and molecular volumes （Vm） of 76 polychlorophenazines （PCPZs） have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G^＊ level by using density functional theory. The isodesmic reactions were designed to calculate standard enthalpy of formation （△fH^θ） and standard free energy of formation （△fG^θ） of PCPZ congeners. According to the relative magnitude of their △fG^θ, the order of relative stability of PCPZ congeners was theoretically proposed. Comparing the results with those of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin （PCDD） isomers, it was found that S^θ, △fH^θ, △fG^θ, Vm and the order of relative stability of PCPZ congeners were quite similar to those of PCDDs.     

Structure and reactivity of C54q+ (q = 0, 1, 2 and 4) fullerenes

Using density functional theory we have studied the structural properties of eleven C54 isomers that appear in the C60 fragmentation. We have evaluated the relative stability of the different isomers with respect the most stable one, which corresponds to the structure with the minimum number (four) of adjacent pentagons. On average, the length of a bond shared by pentagons and/or hexagons increases in the order hexagon-hexagon, hexagon-pentagon and pentagon-pentagon. However, we have found that the central bond in the confluence of four hexagons, i.e. a pyrene substructure, is anomalously large, becoming in some cases the largest one. We have also evaluated the nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) at the center of every individual ring in the most stable isomers. For the chlorine derivatives, our calculations show that the favorite position for chlorine addition are the bonds shared by pentagons.

Density functional calculation of conformations and potentials of internal rotation in polychlorinated biphenyls

Full geometry optimization for all 209 isomers of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and calculations of internal rotation potentials for 154 isomers have been performed by density functional method B3LYP/6-31G(d, p). Conformations and internal rotation barriers in PCBs were proved to depend on a number of chlorine atoms in ortho-positions and, less, the presence of chlorine atoms in adjacent meta-positions. Subject to the number of chlorine atoms in ortho-and adjacent meta-positions, 209 PCB isomers were classified into 18 groups, within each of them molecules having very close conformations and potentials of internal rotation. It makes possible to evaluate with high accuracy the potential functions of the last 55 PCB molecules for which potential curve calculations have not been made.     

Calculation of the polychlorinated terphenyl congener distribution and gas chromatographic retention behavior of selected single standards on four stationary liquid phases

The distribution of the 8557 theoretically possible structures of polychlorinated terphenyls (PCT) over the different degrees of chlorination and basic terphenyl backbones has been calculated and is presented in detail. As congeners missing chlorine atoms in an ortho position are suspected to be as noxious to organisms as dioxins, the number of these congeners is specified as well. The gas chromatographic retention behavior of 14 PCT single standards is studied on four stationary liquid phases for capillary columns (HP-Ultra 1, HP-5MS, RSL-300 and Polycarbonate) relative to 2,2′,3,4,4′,5,5′-heptachlorobiphenyl and shows no consequent separation of PCT in terms of the degree of chlorination. Individual congeners have been assessed for their suitability as internal standards in PCT analysis.     

Theoretical Study on Thermodynamic Properties and Hydrophilicity of Polychorinated Phenothiazines （PCPTZs）

The thermodynamic properties of 135 polychlorinated phenothiazines (PCPTZs) in the standard state are calculated using a combination of quantum mechanical computations performed with the Gaussian 03 program at the B3LYP/6-311G** level, and their octanol-water partition coefficients (logKow) are calculated based on group contributions. The chlorine substitution pattern strongly influenced the thermodynamic properties and hydrophilicity of the compounds. The thermodynamic properties of congeners also depend on the chlorine substitution pattern. The effect of chlorine substitution pattern is quantitatively studied by considering the number and position of Cl atom substitution (NPCS). The results show that the NPCS model may be used to predict the thermodynamic properties and hydrophilicity for all 135 PCPTZ congeners.
