休克尔分子轨道法处理CnHn(n=4和8)体系的π键键级的释疑

休克尔分子轨道(HMO)法对C₄H₄和C₈H₈单环多烯体系进行处理时会将其默认为共轭离域的三重态分子，这与其真实分子的单重态结构不符。运用密度泛函理论(DFT)分别对其单重态和三重态进行结构优化，并计算出更为精确的四元环、八元环的π键键级。基于DFT计算结果，我们提出了解决HMO法计算C₄H₄和C₈H₈单环多烯体系的π键键级误差的方案。

A “vertex electron pair” scheme (VEPS) for describing the skeletal electron distribution in borane-type clusters

A predominantly localized electron pair scheme is outlined for describing the electron distribution and bonding in closo borane anions B_nH_n²⁻ and related electron deficient deltahedral clusters, in which a skeletal electron pair is assigned to each vertex, one pair being regarded as delocalized just inside the roughly spherical surface on which the skeletal atoms lie. The scheme gives a clearer picture of the electron distribution than is conveyed by resonating 2- and 3-centre bonds in the polyhedron edges and faces, and allows the bond orders of the polyhedron edge links to be calculated readily. The consequence of formal removal of BH²⁺ units from closo species B_nH_n²⁻ to generate nido species B_n−1H_n−1⁴⁻ and arachno species B_n−2H_n−2⁶⁻ is explored, and seen to allow rationalization of two features of such deltahedral-fragment clusters: (i) why a high-connectivity vertex is left vacant and (ii) why the frontier orbitals of such species concentrate electronic charge around their open faces. Moreover, in the case of D_4‘h B₄H₄⁶⁻ (cf. C₄H₄²⁻) and D_5h B₅H₅⁶⁻ (cf. C₅H₅⁻), the approach leads directly to the familiar picture for aromatic ring systems in which the highest filled, doubly degenerate π-bonding molecular orbital concentrates electronic charge in rings above and below the polygon on which the skeletal nuclei lie. It also leads to the expectation that arachno clusters with non-adjacent vacant vertices will be more stable than those with adjacent vacant vertices.     

Formation of [C60C5H5] adduct cations and theoretical study of the isomers

We study here the reactions between C₆₀ and planar C₅H₅⁺ cations that lead to the formation of [C₆₀C₅H₅]⁺ adduct cations in the chemical ionization source of the mass spectrometer. The structures, stabilities and charge locations of some possible isomers of [C₆₀C₅H₅]⁺: σ-adduct, π-complex, [1,4]- and [l,2]-addition cations, are studied by AM1 semiempirical molecular orbital calculations. We find that the most stable is the σ-addition cation. Another interesting and stable structure is the π-complex cation which is bonded by the electrostatic interaction at the inter-ring distance of 1.589 Å with the C_5v symmetry. The C₅H₅⁺ cyclopentadienium cation seems to be an “inverted umbrella” sitting on a five-membered ring of the C₆₀ cage.     

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.     

Dissociation of multiply ionized alkanes from methane to n-butane due to electron impact

The dissociation of up to triply ionized alkanes from methane to n-butane has been studied through electron impact ionization at an electron energy of 200 eV. The ionic fragments are recorded by a covariance mapping technique using a focusing time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The absolute cross-sections for the numerous dissociation channels of all the alkane monocations and dications, as well as propane and n-butane trications have been obtained. All the alkane dications are unstable and dissociate mostly into ion pairs, in which the production of proton pairs is found to be a major dissociation channel. The ionic products from the dissociation of ethane, propane and n-butane dications have a similar distribution, in which the first few abundant ion species are H⁺, CH₃⁺, C₂H₃⁺ and C₂H₂⁺. The total single ionization cross-sections agree well with the results of the binary-encounter-Bethe method. The distortion of the ion coincidence islands has been explained as due to the deviation from the space focusing condition of the mass spectrometer. Metastable decays, such as C₃H₅²⁺→CH₃⁺+C₂H₂⁺ in propane and C₄H₁₀⁺→C₃H₇⁺+CH₃ in n-butane have been observed and identified using the initial and final angles of the decay traces.     

Dissociation reactions of the vinyl radical in the AA″ state

In the present theoretical work we have explored mechanisms of dissociation reactions of the vinyl radical in the A²A″ state (C₂H₃ (A²A″)) and examined possible pathways for nonadiabatic dissociation of C₂H₃ (A²A″) into C₂H₂ (X¹Σ_g⁺). In the calculations we used the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and multiconfiguration second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) methods in conjunction with the cc-pVDZ and cc-pVTZ basis sets. Mechanisms for the following three dissociation channels of C₂H₃ in the A²A″ state were explored: (1) C₂H₃ (A²A″) → C₂H₂ (trans, ³A_u) + H, (2) C₂H₃ (A²A″) → C₂H₂ (cis, ³A₂) + H, and (3) C₂H₃ (A²A″) → H₂CC (³A₂) + H. The CASSCF and CASPT2 potential energy curve calculations for the C₂H₃ (A²A″) dissociation channels (1)–(3) indicate that there is neither transition state nor intermediate for each of the channels. At the CASPT2//CASSCF/cc-pVTZ level, the dissociation energies for channels (1)–(3) are predicted to be 84.3, 91.1, and 86.9 kcal/mol, respectively. For a recently observed nonadiabatic dissociation of C₂H₃ (A²A″) into C₂H₂ (X¹Σ_g⁺) + H [J. Chem. Phys. 111 (1999) 3783], two previously suggested internal conversion (IC) pathways were examined based on our CASSCF and CASPT2 calculations. Our preliminary CASSCF and CASPT2 calculations indicate that the assumed IC pathway via the twisted C₂H₃ (A²A^′) structure might be feasible. The CASSCF/cc-pVTZ geometry optimization and frequency analysis calculations were performed for the four C_2v bridge structures in the ²B₂, ²A₂, ²B₁, and ²A₁ states along the pathways of the 1²A^′ (X²A^′), 1²A″ (A²A″), 2²A″, and 2²A^′ states of C₂H₃, respectively, and the CASPT2//CASSCF/cc-pVTZ energetic results indicate that the assumed IC pathway, via a C_2v (²A₂) structure and then ²A₂/²A₁ surface crossing, be not feasible since at their excitation wavelengths (327.4 and 366.2 nm) the C_2v (²A₂) structure could not be accessed.
