硝基甲烷异构化反应势能面的ab initio研究

在B3LYP/6-311+ +G(2d,2p)水平上,优化得到硝基甲烷CH3NO2的10种异构体和23个异构化反应过渡态,并用G2MP2方法进行了单点能计算.根据计算得到的G2MP2相对能量,探讨了CH3NO2势能面上异构化反应的微观机理.研究表明,反应初始阶段的CH3NO2异构化过程具有较高的能垒,其中CH3NO2的两个主要异构化反应通道,即CH3NO2→CH3ONO和CH3NO2→CH2N(O)OH的活化能分别为270.3和267.8 kJ/mol,均高于CH3NO2的C-N键离解能.因而,从动力学角度考虑, CH3NO2的异构化反应较为不利.

2-硝基萘激发态衰减动力学和光解通道的从头计算研究

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)和完全活化空间自洽场理论(CASSCF)计算方法,在CASSCF(10,10)/6-31G(d)//CASPT2(10,10)/Aug-cc-PVDZ计算水平下,研究了2-硝基萘(2NN)S1(ππ*)激发态的衰减动力学.获得了2NN及其亚硝酸酯异构体(ISO)的基态、低能激发态和势能面交叉点的优化结构和能量,以及异构化反应的过渡态结构和能垒;给出了S0,T1和S1态时ISO沿N—O键的势能曲线;描绘了激发态衰变路径图.结果表明,被激发至S1(ππ*)激发态后,2NN经S1T3,S1T2交叉点发生S1!T3,S1!T2系间窜越过程再经T2T1锥形交叉点发生T2!T1内转换过程,最后无辐射衰减到T1态.具体衰减路径可以描述为S1-FC-2NN!S1T3-MIN-2NN或S1T2-MIN-2NN!T3-MIN-2NN或T2-MIN-2NN!T2T1-MIN-2NN!T1-MIN-2NN.该条路径能垒较小,T1态瞬态物种形成效率较高,为2NN激发态衰变动力学中最重要的无辐射衰变通道.在S0,T1和S1态势能面上,2NN!ISO异构化反应的能垒高,跃迁概率十分低下,难以形成芳氧自由基(Ar O"),2NN紫外光解离效率很低.

硫醇对炔属化合物的加成反应 Ⅴ.苯硫酚对几种炔烃加成的立体化学

苯硫酚与苯乙炔、对溴苯乙炔、对硝基苯乙炔及丙炔酸在室温进行直接加成时,生成相应的1:1加成物,其主体构型均属反式,分别为反-β-苯硫基苯乙烯(Ⅰa),反-β-苯硫基对溴苯乙烯(Ⅱa),反-β-苯硫基对硝基苯乙烯(Ⅲa)及反-β-苯硫基丙烯酸(Ⅳa)。加成物的得率按以下顺序而递減:Ⅰa>Ⅱa>Ⅲa>Ⅳa。在低温(-45～-35°)苯硫酚与四种炔烃在溶液中反应时,除对硝基苯乙炔不起反应外,其它三种炔化合物均给出全部或绝大部分顺式构型产物(反式加成),分别为顺-β-苯硫基苯乙烯(Ⅰb,100%),顺-β-苯硫基对溴苯乙烯(Ⅱb,75%)及顺-β-苯硫基丙烯酸(Ⅳb,80%)。所有顺式构型产物在反应条件下都稳定,只是在加热到160°以上时才转化为反式构型产物。苯硫酚对炔烃的直接加成为一自由基反应,所观察到的立体化学结果被解释为加成反应中形成的中间体自由基(Ⅴ),由于R(苯基或羧基)与处于顺式位置的C₆H₅S基的空间位阻,在与苯硫酚进行链转移之前发生异构化所致。因为Ⅴ的异构化为Ⅵ需要一定的活化能,故在低温下的加成全部或绝大部分按反式加成进行,在温度升高时全部转为顺式加成。苯硫酚与对硝基苯乙炔在无水乙醚中在—60°形成一深紫色溶液,两小时后颜色逐渐变淡,这似乎表明有自由基的形成。苯硫酚与四种炔化合物在乙氧基负离子催化下进行加成时,得到全部为反式加成的产物,分别为Ⅰb,Ⅱb,顺-β-苯硫基对硝基苯乙烯(Ⅲb)及Ⅳb。

X–NO2 rotational energy barriers: Local density functional calculations

The X–NO₂ rotational energy barriers of nitromethane, nitroethylene, nitrobenzene, and a group of nitramines have been computed using a local density functional (LDF ) procedure, using ab initio Hartree–Fock (HF )-optimized structures of the ground and rotational transition states. The results have been discussed in relation to HF and some correlated ab initio values and the available experimental data. Our LDF barriers are overall quite reasonable, in generally satisfactory agreement with the experimental and correlated ab initio results. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

6-N,N-二甲基腺嘌呤激发态结构动力学的共振拉曼光谱

采用共振拉曼光谱技术和密度泛函理论方法研究了6-N,N-二甲基腺嘌呤(DMA)的A带和B带电子激发和Franck-Condon 区域结构动力学. π_H→π_L^*跃迁是A带吸收的主体, 其振子强度约占整个A带吸收的79%.由弥散轨道参与的n→Ryd 和π_H→Ryd 跃迁在B带跃迁中扮演重要角色, 其振子强度约占B带吸收的62%,而在A带吸收中占主导的π_H→π_L^*跃迁的振子强度在B带吸收中仅占33%. 嘌呤环变形伸缩+C8H/N9H面内弯曲振动ν₂₃和五元环变形伸缩+C8H弯曲振动ν₁₃的基频、泛频和合频占据了A带共振拉曼光谱强度的绝大部分, 说明¹π_Hπ_L^*激发态结构动力学主要沿嘌呤环的变形伸缩振动, N9H/C8H/C2H弯曲振动等反应坐标展开, 而ν₁₀, ν₂₉, ν₂₁, ν₂₆和ν₄₀的基频、泛频和合频占据了B带共振拉曼光谱强度的主体部分, 它们决定了B带激发态的结构动力学. A带共振拉曼光谱中ν₂₆和ν₁₂被认为与1nπ*/1ππ*势能面锥型交叉有关. B带共振拉曼光谱中ν₂₁的激活与¹ππ^*/¹πσ_N9H^*势能面锥型交叉相关.     

三联吡啶Pt(Ⅱ)配合物的基态和激发态的理论研究

为了探究取代基对三联吡啶Pt(Ⅱ)配合物发光性质的影响, 采用MP2和CIS方法分别对配合物[Pt(trpy)C≡CC6H4R]+[trpy=2,2',6',2″-Terpyridine; R=NO2(1), Cl(2), H(3), CH3(4)]的基态和激发态的几何构型进行了优化, 通过TDDFT/B3LYP方法得到了这些化合物在二氯甲烷溶液中的磷光发射光谱以及它们的跃迁性质. 研究结果表明, 由于NO2的强吸引作用以及在C≡CC6H4NO2部分可能存在的电子共振结构, 化合物1的最低发射可以指认为Pt—C≡C→trpy(3MLCT/3LLCT) 的跃迁, 并且还有很大的一部分来自于π→π*(C6H4NO2) 跃迁的贡献, 而化合物3和化合物4由于含有给电子基团, 因此其最低发射仅仅是来自于3MLCT/3LLCT的跃迁. 但是并不是所有的取代基为吸电子基团时都能有类似的π→π*跃迁性质. 对于化合物2, Cl是仅次于NO2的吸电子取代基, 但是由于缺少电子共振的贡献, 它的跃迁性质却与化合物3和4相同. 另外, 激发态几何相对于基态几何没有发生太大的变化, 这与实验上所观察到的较小斯托克斯频移现象一致.

Mechanistic insights into NO3* induced self-terminating radical oxygenations, part 1: a computational study on NO3* and its addition to alkynes

The geometry of the nitrate radical, NO3*, for which unrestricted Hartree-Fock (HF) breaks spatial symmetry of the wave function, was optimized using hybrid density functionals that include varying fractions of Hartree-Fock exchange. Although symmetry breaking was not observed even when the functional with the highest HF exchange (BHandHLYP) was used, only B3LYP correctly describes the D(3h) symmetry of NO3* as ground-state structure with the lowest energy. Further, geometries and energies of the stationary points in the addition of NO3* to ethyne, propyne, and 2-butyne were calculated using ab initio and density functional methods. The reactions proceed through Z-configurated transition states leading to Z-configurated vinyl radicals with the activation barrier decreasing with increasing methyl substitution at the C[triple bond]C by ca. 11 kJ mol(-1) per methyl group. It was found that the results obtained at the BHandHLYP/cc-pVDZ level of theory are in good agreement with the data from single-point QCISD and CCSD(T) calculations.     

Atmospheric reaction of the HOSO radical with NO2: a theoretical study

The gas-phase reaction between HOSO and NO(2) was examined using density functional theory. Geometry optimizations and frequency computations were performed at the B3LYP/6-311++G(2df,2pd) level of theory for all minimum species and transition states. The ground-state potential energy surface, including activation energies and enthalpies, were calculated using the ab initio CBS-QB3 composite method. The results suggest that the addition of HOSO and NO(2) leads to two possible intermediates, HOS(O)NO(2) and HOS(O)ONO, without any energy barrier. The HOS(O)NO(2) easily decomposes into HONO + SO(2) through the low energy product complex HONO···SO(2), whereas the HOS(O)ONO dissociates to HOSO(2) + NO products. This latter dissociation is preferred from the isomerization of the HOS(O)ONO to HOS(NO)O(2). Also, HOS(O)NO(2) isomerization to HOS(O)ONO is hindered due to the presence of a large energy barrier. From the thermodynamic aspect, the main products in the title reaction are HONO + SO(2), whereas HOSO(2) + NO are expected as a minor products.     

DFT and CASPT2 study of two thermal reactions of nitromethane: C–N bond cleavage and nitro-to-nitrite isomerization. An example of the inverse symmetry breaking deficiency in density functional calculations of an homolytic dissociation

The reaction paths of nitromethane leading to the dissociation products or isomerization to methyl nitrite have been computationally investigated at the CAS-SCF and DFT levels of theory. Additionally, the CAS-SCF wave functions were used as reference in a second-order perturbation treatment, CASPT2, in order to obtain a good estimate for the activation energy of each reaction path. Both methods predict the isomerization as a concerted reaction. However, the behavior of the two approximations with respect to dissociation is rather different; while CASPT2 predicts a barrier height of (≈59 kcal/mol) in good accordance with the experimental activation energy (59.0 kcal/mol), B3-LYP/6-31G^* calculations overestimate the barrier for more than 30 kcal/mol. The DFT prediction of the dissociation channel exhibits inverse symmetry breaking, dissociating to the unphysical absurd CH₃^δ+ plus NO₂^δ−.     

Straightforward synthesis of nitroolefins by microwave- or ultrasound-assisted Henry reaction

β-Nitroalcohol or nitroethylene derivatives can be obtained from aryl aldehydes and nitromethane under Henry condensation conditions. We present a new modification using microwave irradiation or ultrasound as the energy source. Microwave irradiation allowed a novel one-pot synthesis of nitroolefins from aryl aldehydes using ammonium acetate as a catalyst without solvent. Different reaction conditions, such as base, solvent, and reaction time were studied. Only small amounts of β-hydroxyl nitro compounds were isolated, using microwave irradiation for less than 25 min. In contrast, the use of ultrasound increased the yield of the nitroalcohols.     

Probing ruthenium-acetylide bonding interactions: synthesis, electrochemistry, and spectroscopic studies of acetylide-ruthenium complexes supported by tetradentate macrocyclic amine and diphosphine ligands

The synthesis and spectroscopic properties of trans-[RuL4(C[triple bond]CAr)2] (L4 = two 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane, (dmpe)2; 1,5,9,13-tetramethyl-1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadecane, 16-TMC; 1,12-dimethyl-3,4:9,10-dibenzo-1,12-diaza-5,8-dioxacyclopentadecane, N2O2) are described. Investigations into the effects of varying the [RuL4] core, acetylide ligands, and acetylide chain length for the [(-)C[triple bond]C(C6H4C[triple bond]C)(n-1)Ph] and [(-)C[triple bond]C(C6H4)(n-1)Ph] (n = 1-3) series upon the electronic and electrochemical characteristics of trans-[RuL4(C[triple bond]CAr)2](0/+) are presented. DFT and TD-DFT calculations have been performed on trans-[Ru(L')4(C[triple bond]CAr)2](0/+) (L' = PH3 and NH3) to examine the metal-acetylide pi-interaction and the nature of the associated electronic transition(s). It was observed that (1) the relationship between the transition energy and 1/n for trans-[Ru(dmpe)2{C[triple bond]C(C6H4C[triple bond]C)(n-1)Ph}2] (n = 1-3) is linear, and (2) the sum of the d(pi)(Ru(II)) --> pi*(C[triple bond]CAr) MLCT energy for trans-[Ru(16-TMC or N2O2)(C[triple bond]CAr)2] and the pi(C[triple bond]CAr) --> d(pi)(Ru(III)) LMCT energy for trans-[Ru(16-TMC or N2O2)(C[triple bond]CAr)2]+ corresponds to the intraligand pi pi* absorption energy for trans-[Ru(16-TMC or N2O2)(C[triple bond]CAr)2]. The crystal structure of trans-[Ru(dmpe)2{C[triple bond]C(C6H4C[triple bond]C)2Ph}2] shows that the two edges of the molecule are separated by 41.7 A. The electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of these complexes can be systematically tuned by modifying L4 and Ar to give E(1/2) values for oxidation of trans-[RuL4(C[triple bond]CAr)2] that span over 870 mV and lambda(max) values of trans-[RuL4(C[triple bond]CAr)2] that range from 19,230 to 31,750 cm(-1). The overall experimental findings suggest that the pi-back-bonding interaction in trans-[RuL4(C[triple bond]CAr)2] is weak and the [RuL4] moiety in these molecules may be considered to be playing a "dopant" role in a linear rigid pi-conjugated rod.
