High-accuracy thermochemistry of atmospherically important fluorinated and chlorinated methane derivatives

High-precision quantum chemical calculations have been performed for atmospherically important halomethane derivatives including CF, CF(3), CHF(2), CH(2)F, CF(2), CF(4), CHF, CHF(3), CH(3)F, CH(2)F(2), CCl, CCl(3), CHCl(2), CH(2)Cl, CCl(2), CCl(4), CHCl, CHCl(3), CH(3)Cl, CH(2)Cl(2), CHFCl, CF(2)Cl, CFCl(2), CFCl, CFCl(3), CF(2)Cl(2), CF(3)Cl, CHFCl(2), CHF(2)Cl, and CH(2)FCl. Theoretical estimates for the standard enthalpy of formation at 0 and 298.15 K as well as for the entropy at 298.15 K are presented. The determined values are mostly within the experimental uncertainty where accurate experimental results are available, while for the majority of the considered heat of formation and entropy values the present results represent the best available estimates.     

Hydrogen bonding effects on the wavenumbers and absorption intensities of the OH fundamental and the first, second, and third overtones of phenol and 2,6-dihalogenated phenols studied by visible/near-infrared/infrared spectroscopy

Visible, near-infrared (NIR) and IR spectra in the 15600-2500 cm(-1) region were measured for phenol and 2,6-difluorophenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol, and 2,6-dibromophenol in n-hexane, CCl(4), CHCl(3) and CH(2)Cl(2) to study hydrogen bonding effects and solvent dependences of wavenumbers and absorption intensities of the fundamental and the first, second, and third overtones of OH stretching vibrations. A band shift of the OH stretching vibrations from a gas state to a solution state (solvent shift) was plotted versus vibrational quantum number (v = 0, 1, 2 and 3), and it was found that there is a linear relation between the solvent shift and the vibrational quantum number. The slope of solvent shift decreases in the order of phenol, 2,6-difluorophenol and 2,6-dichlorophenol. For all of the solute molecules, the slope becomes larger with the increase in the dielectric constant of the solvents. The relative intensities of the OH stretching vibrations of phenol in CCl(4), CHCl(3), and CH(2)Cl(2) against the intensity of the corresponding OH vibration in n-hexane increase in the fundamental and the second overtone but decrease in the first and third overtones; the relative intensities show so-called "parity". The parity is more prominent for phenol that has an intermolecular hydrogen bonding than for 2,6-dihalogenated phenols that have an intramolecular hydrogen bond. These observations suggest that the intermolecular hydrogen bond between the OH group and the Cl atom plays a key role for the parity and that the intermolecular interaction between the solutes and the solvents (solvent effects) does not have a significant role in the parity.     

EPR study on the ligand-exchange reaction between bis(diethyldiselenocarbamato)copper(II) and bis(octyldithiocarbonato)copper(II)

EPR study on the ligand-exchange reaction between bis(diethyldiselenocarbamato)copper(II), Cu(Et2dsc)2, and bis(octyldithiocarbonato)copper(II), Cu(octxant)2, in CH2Cl2, CHCl3, CCl4, C6H6 and C6H5.CH3 is reported for the first time. Mixing of equimolar amounts of the parents (chromophores CuSe4 and CuS4, respectively) in C6H6, C6H5.CH3 and CH2Cl2 makes EPR signals of both parents superimposed by the spectrum of a mixed-chelate Cu(xant)(dsc) complex (chromophore CuS2Se2). A new additional EPR spectrum appears in CHCl3 or CCl4 due to a five-coordinate mixed-ligand complex with the chromophore Cu(S3Se)S as follows by comparing the g-values of parents and mixed-ligand complexes. The appearance of this complex could be explained having in mind donor-acceptor properties of complexes, solvents and the resultant reaction of Cu(octxant)2 with the ester of diselenocarbamic acid yielded in Cu(Et2dsc)2 destruction by CCl4 or CHCl3.     

Solvent dependence of absorption intensities and wavenumbers of the fundamental and first overtone of NH stretching vibration of pyrrole studied by near-infrared/infrared spectroscopy and DFT calculations

Near-infrared (NIR) and IR spectra were measured for pyrrole in CCl(4), CHCl(3), and CH(2)Cl(2) to study solvent dependence of absorption intensities and wavenumbers of the fundamental and first overtone of NH stretching vibration. It was found that the wavenumbers of the NH fundamental and its first overtone decrease in the order of CCl(4), CHCl(3), and CH(2)Cl(2), which is the increasing order for of the dielectric constant of the solvents. Their absorption intensities increase in the same order, and the intensity increase is more significant for the fundamental than the overtone. These results for the solvent dependence of the wavenumbers and absorption intensities of NH stretching bands of pyrrole are quite different from those due to the formation of hydrogen bonds. Quantum chemical calculations of the wavenumbers and absorption intensities of NH stretching bands by using the 1D Schr?dinger equation based on the self-consistent reaction field (SCRF)/isodensity surface polarized continuum model (IPCM) suggest that the decreases in the wavenumbers of both the fundamental and the overtone of the NH stretching mode with the increase in the dielectric constant of the solvents arise from the anharmonicity of vibrational potential and their intensity increases come from the gradual increase in the slope of the dipole moment function.     

红外光谱中溶剂效应机理研究(IV) 溶剂受电子位阻效应常数的确定

In the previous paper(Ⅲ), the following equation of solvent effect in organic chemistry was suggested:
Ei=a﹒Ai(1-Va﹒VAi)+d﹒Di(1-Vd﹒VDi)+E0
Where Ei is a physical or chemical property of the substrate in the solvent i and E0 is that in n-hexane. Ai and Di are constants of electron acception and donation effect of the solvent i respectively. VAi and VDi are constants of electron acception and donation space effect of the solvent i respectively, a and d are the sensitivities of E of the substrate vs the change of Ai and Di. Va and Vd are the constants of electron acception and donation space effect of the substrate respectively. In IR spectra E could be substituted by the wavenumber(ν). Ai and VAi have been established for 18 organic solvents (n-C6H14, n-C7H16, cyclohexane, CCl4, Ph-Me, ClCH:CCl2, Et2O, CHCl3, C6H6, CH2Cl2, ClCH2CH2Cl, Ph-NO2, THF, 1,4-dioxane, Et-NO2. MeCO2Et, Me-NO2, Me-CN).
In this paper Di and VDi have been established for these solvents. The equation also has been tested by the νC-X(X=Cl, Br) of five alkylhalides (t-BuCl, n-C5H11Cl, t-BuBr, Et-Br, EtC(H)BrMe) and νC=O of three carboxyl compounds (t-BuCOMe, Me2CO, MHB) and seven organotin compounds [(Ph2MeSiCH2)3SnO2C-C6H4-X-p(X=H-, CH3-, CH3O-, NO2-, F-. Cl-, I-)].
The relationship (ν=ρ﹒σ+ν0) between νC=O of organotin compounds and Hammett constants(σ) of the substituted groups in different solvents was studied and a relationship betweenρ and Ai, VAi, Di, VDi of the solvents was found.     

Charge-transfer photochemistry of bis(diethyl-diselenocarbamato)copper(II)

The photochemical reactions of bis(diethyl-diselenocarbamato)copper(II), Cu(Et2dsc)2, complex have been studied in toluene, CH2Cl2, CHCl3 and chloroalkane/EtOH mixed solvents. Charge-transfer irradiation induces intramolecular oxidation of the ligand and reduction of copper(II) to copper(I) as evidenced by EPR and UV-Vis spectra of the complex as well as quantum yield results. When photolysis is carried out in CHCl3 or CH2Cl2 or in the solvent mixture CHCl3/EtOH resp. CH2Cl2/EtOH of lower than 1:1 EtOH content, the primary photoproduct CuI(Et2dsc) is further oxidised in a dark reaction with the chloroalkane producing the corresponding paramagnetic mixed-ligand CuII(Et2dsc)Cl complex in equilibrium with its chloride-bridged and EPR silent, dimeric form Cu2(Et2dsc)2Cl2. At low concentration of EtOH the equilibrium is shifted to the dimeric form whereas at higher than 1:1 EtOH content in the mixed solvent CHCl3/EtOH it is shifted to CuII(Et2dsc)Cl. A reaction mechanism is proposed and the role of ethanol is discussed.     

Gas-phase carbene radical anions: new mechanistic insights

The gas-phase reactivity of the CHCl*- anion has been investigated with a series of halomethanes (CCl4, CHCl3, CH2Cl2, and CH3Cl) using a FA-SIFT instrument. Results show that this anion primarily reacts via substitution and by proton transfer. In addition, the reactions of CHCl*- with CHCl3 and CH2Cl2 form minor amounts of Cl2*- and Cl-. The isotopic distribution of these two products is consistent with an insertion-elimination mechanism, where the anion inserts into a C-Cl bond to form an unstable intermediate, which eliminates either Cl2*- or Cl- and Cl*. Neutral and cationic carbenes are known to insert into single bonds; however, this is the first observation of such reactivity for carbene anions.     

Hydrogen/chlorine exchange reactions of gaseous carbanions

Gas-phase reactions of three typical carbanions CH(2)NO(2)(-), CH(2)CN(-), and CH(2)S(O)CH(3)(-) with the chloromethanes CH(2)Cl(2), CHCl(3), and CCl(4), examined by tandem mass spectrometry, show a novel hydrogen/chlorine exchange reaction. For example, reaction between the nitromethyl anion CH(2)NO(2)(-) and carbon tetrachloride CCl(4) forms the ion CHClNO(2)(-). The suggested reaction mechanism involves nucleophilic attack by CH(2)NO(2)(-) at the chlorine of CCl(4) followed by proton transfer within the resulting complex [CH(2)ClNO(2) + CCl(3)(-)] to form CHClNO(2)(-) and CHCl(3). Two other carbanions CH(2)CN(-) and CH(2)S(O)CH(3)(-) also undergo the novel hydrogen/chlorine exchange reactions with CCl(4) but to a much smaller extent, their higher nucleophilicities favoring competitive nucleophilic attack reactions. Proton abstraction is the exclusive pathway in the reactions of these carbanions with CHCl(3). While CH(2)CN(-) and CH(2)S(O)CH(3)(-) promote mainly proton abstraction and nucleophilic displacement in reactions with CH(2)Cl(2), CH(2)NO(2)(-) does not react.     

Spectral study on the interaction of cryptophane-A and neutral molecules CHnCl4-n (n=0, 1, 2)

Cryptophane-A was synthesized from vanillin by a three-step method and its spectroscopic properties in different organic solvents were determined. Two absorption bands at about 240-250 and 280-290 nm were observed for cryptophane-A. A fluorescence emission peak was obtained at 320-330 nm using a solution of approximately 10(-5)M cryptophane-A. The interaction of cryptophane-A with chlorinated compounds CH(n)Cl(4 - n) (n=0, 1, 2) in dioxane and ethyl acetate solvents were studied in detail by fluorescence spectroscopy, respectively. The results show that cryptophane-A is well suited for inclusion of CH(2)Cl(2) to form a stable 1:1 complex and the binding constant was estimated to be 19+/-2M(-1). These results were also confirmed by (1)H NMR and CPK models. Larger similar molecules such as CHCl(3) and CCl(4) are unable to enter the cavity of cryptophane-A because of their bigger sizes. However, the fluorescence emission of cryptophane-A can be efficiently quenched by CHCl(3) and CCl(4), following the Stern-Volmer relationship.     

FT-IR spectroscopic, AM1 and PM3 computational studies of conformation of natural products: cytisine

Infrared spectra were recorded for cytisine (1) and its model compounds: N-methyl-2-pyridone (2) and piperidine (3) in solution. Eight solvents of different polarity, polarizability and acid-base properties: CCl(4), CS(2), CHCl(3), CDCl(3) (for comparison with the NMR spectra), CH(2)Cl(2), MeOH, Et(2)O and Et(3)N were chosen. Experimental FT-IR spectra were analysed with the help of those calculated for isolated derivatives at the AM1 and PM3 levels. Influence of environment on the conformational preferences in solvated cytisine was discussed and compared with those in the solid state (X-ray measurements) and in the gas phase (quantum-mechanical calculations).     

EPR and electronic spectral studies of bis(dihalcogenocarbamato)copper(II)-solvent interactions

The interaction of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)copper(II), Cu(Et2dtc)2, and bis(diethyldiselenocarbamato)copper(II), Cu(Et2dsc)2, complexes with solvents is studied by EPR and electronic spectroscopy. The solvents used are CCl4, CHCl3, CH2Cl2, C6H5 x CH3, DMFA and DMSO. It is found that Cu(Et2dsc)2 is destroyed in a first order reaction in CCl4 with an activation energy of 5.2 kcal/mol. The other complex, Cu(Et2dtc)2, is only destroyed in DMSO. The observed effects and reaction pathways are discussed in terms of solute-solvent donor-acceptor interactions taking into account the differences in the electronic structures of both complexes.     

Charge transfer complexes of picolines with sigma- and pi-acceptors

In the present study CT complexes of 2-, 3- and 4-Picolines with (DDQ) 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyano parabenzoquinone (pi-acceptor) and (I(2)) Iodine (sigma-acceptor) have been investigated spectrophotometrically in three different solvents (CCl(4), CHCl(3) and CH(2)Cl(2)) at six different temperatures. The formation constants of the CT complexes were determined by the Benesi-Hildebrand equation. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated by Van(')t Hoff equation. The DeltaH degrees , DeltaG degrees and DeltaS degrees values are all negative implying that the formation of studied complexes is exothermic in nature.     

On the preparation of fluorine-18 labelled XeF(2) and chemical exchange between fluoride ion and XeF(2)

A recent report claims to have prepared [18F]XeF2 by exchange between a large stoichiometric excess of XeF2 and no-carrier-added 18F-, as salts of the [2,2,2-crypt-M+] (M = K or Cs) cations, in CH2Cl2 or CHCl3 solvents at room temperature. Attempts to repeat this work have proven unsuccessful and have led to a critical reinvestigation of chemical exchange between fluoride ion, in the form of anhydrous [N(CH3)4][F] and [2,2,2-crypt-K][F], and XeF2 in dry CH2Cl2 and CH3CN solvents. It was shown, by use of 19F and 1H NMR spectroscopies, that [2,2,2-crypt-K][F] rapidly reacts with CH3CN solvent to form HF2-, and with CH2Cl2 solvent to form HF2-, CH2ClF, and CH2F2 at room temperature. Moreover, XeF2 rapidly oxidizes 2,2,2-crypt in CH2Cl2 solvent at room temperature to form HF and HF2-. Thus, the exchange between XeF2 and no-carrier-added 18F- reported in the prior work arises from exchange between XeF2 and HF/HF2-, and does not involve fluoride ion. However, naked fluoride ion has been shown to undergo exchange with XeF2 under rigorously anhydrous and HF-free conditions. A two-dimensional 19F-19F EXSY NMR study demonstrated that [N(CH3)4][F] exchanges with XeF2 in CH3CN solvent, but exchange of HF2- with either XeF2 or F- is not detectable under these conditions. The exchange between XeF2 and F- is postulated to proceed by the formation of XeF3- as the exchange intermediate.

Solvent-induced conformational changes of O-phenyl-cinchonidine: a theoretical and VCD spectroscopy study

The conformational analysis of the synthetic chiral modifier O-phenyl-cinchonidine (PhOCD) used in enantioselective hydrogenations over noble metal catalysts has been performed at a PM3 semiempirical level in vacuum. The minimum energy conformations calculated at the DFT level with a medium-size basis set have been compared to those of the parent alkaloid cinchonidine (CD). PhOCD behaves similarly to CD and shows four main conformers, denoted as Closed(1), Closed(2), Open(3), and Open(4). Open(3) is found to be the most stable in vacuum and in CH2Cl2 and CCl4 solvents. A comprehensive normal-mode analysis has been performed for these conformers, and assignment of the infrared spectrum of PhOCD in CCl4 (epsilon = 2.2) has been performed using the calculated spectrum of Open(3), which appears to be the most populated in this solvent. A combined theoretical-experimental VCD spectroscopy approach was used to increase the spectroscopic sensitivity toward changes in the distribution of conformers upon change of solvent polarity. The VCD spectra confirm that Open(3) is by far the most stable conformation in CCl4 (epsilon = 2.2) and indicate that an excess Closed(2) conformer has to be expected in CD2Cl2 (epsilon = 8.9). The possible influence of this conformational behavior is discussed on the basis of available catalytic data and in relation to the enantioselective potential of PhOCD as a chiral modifier on supported metal catalysts.     

Kinetics of the reactions of chlorinated methyl radicals (CH2Cl, CHCl2, and CCl3) with NO2 in the temperature range 220-360 K

The kinetics of the reactions of chlorinated methyl radicals (CH2Cl, CHCl2, and CCl3) with NO2 have been studied in direct measurements at temperatures between 220 and 360 K using a tubular flow reactor coupled to a photoionization mass spectrometer. The radicals have been homogeneously generated at 193 or 248 nm by pulsed laser photolysis of appropriate precursors. Decays of radical concentrations have been monitored in time-resolved measurements to obtain the reaction rate coefficients under pseudo-first-order conditions with the amount of NO2 being in large excess over radical concentrations. The bimolecular rate coefficients of all three reactions are independent of the bath gas (He or N2) and pressure within the experimental range (1-6 Torr) and are found to depend on temperature as follows: k(CH2Cl + NO2) = (2.16 +/- 0.08) x 10(-11) (T/300 K)(-1.12+/-0.24) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1) (220-363 K), k(CHCl2 + NO2) = (8.90 +/- 0.16) x 10(-12) (T/300 K)(-1.48+/-0.13) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1) (220-363 K), and k(CCl3 + NO2) = (3.35 +/- 0.10) x 10(-12) (T/300 K)(-2.2+/-0.4) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1) (298-363 K), with the uncertainties given as one-standard deviations. Estimated overall uncertainties in the measured bimolecular reaction rate coefficients are about +/-25%. In the reactions CH2Cl + NO2, CHCl2 + NO2, and CCl3 + NO2, the products observed are formaldehyde, CHClO, and phosgene (CCl2O), respectively. In addition, a weak signal for the HCl formation has been detected for the CHCl2 + NO2 reaction.     

Solvatochromism and preferential solvation of 1,4-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-9,10-anthraquinone by UV-vis absorption and laser-induced fluorescence measurements

Solvation characteristics of 1,4-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-9,10-anthraquinone (1) in pure and binary solvent mixtures have been studied by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and laser-induced fluorescence techniques. The binary solvent mixtures used as CCl(4) (tetrachloromethane)-DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide), AN (acetonitrile)-DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), CHCl(3) (chloroform)-DMSO, CHCl(3)-MeOH (methanol), and MeOH-DMSO. The longest wavelength band of 1 has been studied in pure solvents as well as in binary solvent mixtures as a function of the bulk mole fraction. The Vis absorption band maxima show an unusual blue shift with increasing solvent polarity. The emission maxima of 1 show changes with varying the pure solvents and the composition in the case of binary solvent mixtures. Non-ideal solvation characteristics are observed in all binary solvent mixtures. It has been observed that the quantity [nu (12)-(X(1)nu (1)+X(2)nu (2))] serves as a measure of the extent of preferential solvation, where nu and X are the position of band maximum in wavenumbers (cm(-1)) and the bulk mole fraction values, respectively. The preferential solvation parameters local mole fraction (X(2)(L)), solvation index (delta(s2)), and exchange constant (k(12)) are evaluated.

Structures, photoluminescence, and reversible vapoluminescence properties of neutral platinum(II) complexes containing extended pi-conjugated cyclometalated ligands

Reacting K2PtCl4 with the tridentate R-C(wedge)N(wedge)C-H2 ligands 2,6-di-(2'-naphthyl)-4-R-pyridine (R = H, 1a; Ph, 1b; 4-BrC6H4, 1c; 3,5-F2C6H3, 1d) in glacial acetic acid, followed by heating in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), gave complexes [(R-C(wedge)N(wedge)C)Pt(DMSO)] (2a-d). In the crystal structures of 2a-c, the molecules are paired in a head-to-tail orientation with Pt...Pt separations >6.3 A, and there are extensive close C-H...pi (d = 2.656-2.891 A), pi...pi (d = 3.322-3.399 A), and C-H...O=S (d = 2.265-2.643 A) contacts. [(Ph-C(wedge)N(wedge)C)Pt(PPh3)] (3) was prepared by reacting 2b with PPh3. Reactions of 2a-d with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) gave [(R-C(wedge)N(wedge)C)2Pt2(mu-dppm)] (4a-d). Both head-to-head (syn) and head-to-tail (anti) conformations were found for 4a.6CHCl3.C5H12, whereas only one conformation was observed for 4b.2CHCl3 (syn), 4c.3CH2Cl2 (syn), and 4d.2CHCl3 (anti). In the crystal structures of 4a-d, there are close intramolecular Pt...Pt contacts of 3.272-3.441 A in the syn conformers, and long intramolecular Pt...Pt separations of 5.681-5.714 A in the anti conformers. There are weak C-H...X (d = 2.497-3.134 A) and X...X (X = Cl or Br; d = 2.973-3.655 A) interactions between molecules 4a-d and occluded CHCl3/CH2Cl2 molecules, and their solvent channels are of varying diameters (approximately 9-28 A). Complexes 2a-d, 3, and 4a-d are photoluminescent in the solid state, with emission maxima at 602-643 nm. Upon exposure to volatile organic compounds, 4a shows a fast and reversible vapoluminescent response, which is most intense with volatile halogenated solvents (except CCl4). Powder X-ray diffraction analysis of desolvated 4a revealed a more condensed molecular packing of syn and anti complexes than crystal 4a.6CHCl3.C5H12.     

Reversible adsorption and complete separation of volatile chlorocarbons based on a Cd(II)-triazole MOF in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal fashion

Reversible adsorption and complete separation of volatile chlorocarbon species CH(2)Cl(2), CHCl(3) and CCl(4) on a Cd(II)-triazole MOF in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal fashion were reported.
