以单取代苯为模型,建立并论证了取代基诱导效应参数RI、共轭效应参数RC及诱导和共轭共同作用效应参数R,RI=128.5-δ1,RC=642.5-∑6n=2δn,R=771-∑6n=1δn,δn(n=1～6)是单取代苯苯环上6个碳原子Cn(n=1～6)的化学位移,δ1是取代位C1的化学位移,128.5为苯的13C化学位移。当参数R>0时,取代基对苯环有给电子效应。一般而言,RI<0、RC>0、R>0时,取代基是典型的使苯环活化的邻对位定位基;RI<0、RC<0、R<0时,取代基是使苯环钝化的间位定位基;其余情况参考δn的具体数值判定取代基的作用。能与苯环形成最佳共轭的基团,其与苯环直接相连的是与碳原子同周期的B、C、N、O、F。

系列苯炔化合物和苯炔树枝大分子的合成及其光学性质的研究

合成了一系列苯炔化合物, 并对它们的紫外吸收和荧光发射性质进行了研究. 通过HOMO和LUMO轨道能量差ΔE、分子轨道图及相关碳原子上的电荷密度讨论了分子结构和大小对这些化合物紫外吸收和荧光发光性质的影响. 在间位苯炔化合物及间位苯炔树枝大分子(dendrimer)中, 紫外吸收峰不随苯炔分枝数和dendrimer阶数增加而红移, 共轭被中心苯环隔断. 而在邻或对位取代的苯炔化合物中, 共轭则不受中心苯环的影响而延伸至整个分子. 其原因可能和中心苯环上与苯炔分枝相连的碳原子的电荷密度有关. 在激发态下, 间位苯炔化合物中苯炔分枝间存在耦合作用, 荧光发射随苯炔分枝数增加而红移. 但这种耦合作用只发生在与同一苯环相连的分枝间, 因此荧光发射不随dendrimer阶数增加而红移.

Quantum-chemical interpretation of the effect of substitution in the benzene ring on the reactivity of monosubstituted benzenes

The HF/3-21G and HF/6-31G** methods were used to calculate the effective charges on the carbon and hydrogen atoms in the meta and para positions of the aromatic ring in monosubstituted benzenes. The calculated charges are compared with the Hammett constants of the substituents in the aromatic ring. Linear correlations were obtained between the atomic charges and the Hammett constants of the substituents. The resulting equations were shown to be useful for predicting and assessing the reactivity of aromatic compounds.     

13C substituent effects in monosubstituted benzenes

A brief analysis is presnted of the current understanding of substituent perturbations in monosubstituted benzenes as determined by substituent induced carbon chemical shifts. A critical tabulation of the four substituent chemical shifts is given for c. 700 monosubstituted benzenes.     

Monosubstituted benzenes. Some features of the electron density distribution obtained byab initio calculations

A comparative analysis was made of the electron density distribution in monosubstituted benzenes by the nonempirical LCAO-MO SCF STO-3G method. It was shown that the effective charge that appears at the carbon atoms of the benzene ring as a result of introduction of the substituent is divided into and components in the same proportions, irrespective of the position of the carbon atoms (ortho, meta, para). It was established that there are also linear relationships between the charges of theortho, meta, andpara carbon atoms of monosubstituted benzenes. Thus, the changes in all the and charges of theortho, meta, andpara carbon atoms during substitution in benzene are related linearly to each other. The obtained equations in the generalized form reflect the response of the benzene ring to substitution.A. N.

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy IX—monosubstituted ethylenes

Carbon-13 chemical shifts of sixteen monosubstituted ethylenes were obtained. In order to explain the chemical shifts, σ and π electron densities of these compounds are calculated by the σ-included ω-HMO method.

1 See Ref. 8.

A linear relationship exists between carbon-13 chemical shifts and the calculated electron densities, and also between substituent constants and electron densities. A slope of unity is obtained between the chemical shifts of α carbons of monosubstituted ethylenes and those of carbons adjacent to the substituents in monosubstituted benzenes. On the other hand, a plot of chemical shifts of C_ortho of benzene derivatives against that of the β carbon in ethylene derivatives gives a slope of 3. These slopes can be explained by the calculated electron densities. A slope of 4/3 is obtained between the direct coupling constant ¹J(C? H) of the α carbon in monosubstituted ethylenes and that in the corresponding substituted methanes.     

亲电取代反应中活性位点预测方法的比较

预测发生亲电取代反应的活性位点具有重要的理论和实际意义. 目前已提出了许多基于反应物自身电子结构的预测方法. 本文选择14 个单取代苯和8 个双取代苯作为测试集,对14 种预测方法的可靠性进行了详细的比较分析. 结果表明,福井函数、平均局部离子化能等体现局部电子软度的方法特别适合含有邻对位定位基的单取代苯和双取代苯体系,但对于含有单个间位定位基的体系,这类方法往往预测失败. 基于静电效应的预测方法整体表现明显不如体现局部软度的方法,但更适合含有单个间位定位基的体系. 对所有体系预测能力最稳健的是双描述符,因此可以作为普适性的预测方法.

Molecular similarity based on atomic electrostatic potential

We propose a new similarity measure operating in the space spanned by the potential values, evaluated at atoms constituting the benzene ring and the COOH group in para-substituted benzoic acids and at benzene ring atoms in monosubstituted benzenes. The similarity measures are equivalent to the Euclidean distance between points in that space. Only the distances between the potentials at corresponding atoms in different molecules are included. The distances for benzene rings were very similar, regardless of whether they were calculated in para-substituted acids or in monosubstituted benzenes. As reference reactions, dissociation of benzoic acids and nitration of monosubstituted benzenes have been used. The effects of reduction of dimensionality of the potential space on the comparison of similarity measures with the free energies of the reference reactions have been investigated. It became obvious that the potentials at individual atoms in molecules of the acids and monosubstituted benzenes are mutually correlated to a high degree.     

Chemical constituents of some biodegradable liquid scintillators

Chemical constituents of the commercially available "biodegradable" liquid scintillator solvents were elucidated by means of GC/MS analysis etc., as either the mixture of monosubstituted benzenes with the alkyl chain of carbon 10 to 13, or 1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-1-phenyl-ethane.     

Consistent assignment of the vibrations of monosubstituted benzenes

We investigate the consistency of the labeling and assignments of the vibrations of the monosubstituted benzenes in the electronic ground state. In doing so, we also identify some inconsistencies in the labeling of the benzene modes. We commence by investigating the behavior of the benzene vibrations as one hydrogen is replaced by an artificial atomic substituent of increasing mass via quantum chemical calculations; the wavenumber variations with mass give insight into the assignments. We also examine how well the monohalobenzene vibrations can be described in terms of the benzene ones: consistent with some recent studies, we conclude that this is futile in a significant number of cases. We then show that "isotopic wavenumbers" obtained by artificially changing the mass of the fluorine atom in fluorobenzene are in very good agreement with the wavenumbers obtained via explicit calculation for the relevant monohalobenzene (chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, and iodobenzene) vibrations. As a consequence, we propose that the vibrations of monofluorobenzene be used as the basis for labelling the vibrational assignments of monosubstituted benzenes. As well as the four monohalobenzenes, we also apply this approach to the vibrations of aniline, toluene, benzonitrile, phenylacetylene, phenylphosphine, and nitrobenzene. This has allowed a much more consistent picture of the vibrational assignments to be obtained across ten monosubstituted benzenes.     

HCSE method for detection of small carbon–carbon couplings and their signs,comparison with SLAP pulse sequence

Performance of homonuclear coupling sign edited (HCSE) experiment applied to detection of signed carbon–carbon couplings is discussed using a set of already measured samples of nine monosubstituted benzenes. It is shown that coupling sign detection is insensitive to the settings of carbon–carbon polarization transfer delays. The HCSE spectra of ten from the total of 43 measured carbon–carbon couplings were considerably influenced by relaxations and proton–proton strong couplings. These effects are quantitatively discussed. The results of HCSE and SLAP experiments are compared. It is shown that the two methods may complement each other in detection of signed carbon–carbon couplings. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
