Molecular assembly of dithiaparacyclophanes mediated by non-covalent X…X,X…Y and C–H…X (X,Y=Br,S, N) interactions

Regioselectivity for the 5,8,15,18-substituted isomer over the 5,8,14,17-isomer was observed in a series of mercaptan–bromide coupling reactions leading to the formation of 2,11-dithia[3.3]paracyclophanes. Their molecular assembly was established by X-ray crystallographic studies. In the crystal packing of these paracyclophanes, several types of non-covalent interactions including halogen–halogen interaction, halogen-bonding interaction, weak hydrogen-bonding interaction, etc. are observed in crystals 3a, 3b and 3c. There is evidence to indicate that weak non-covalent Br…Br, Br…S, Br…N, C–H…S, S…S and C–H…N interactions play an important role in governing their molecular assembly assumed in the solid state. The attractive interactions of Br…Br, Br…S and Br…N are also rationalised and supported in terms of the density functional theory calculations.

     

Substituent effects on the compounds CX1X2•− (X1, X2 = H, F, Cl, Br, I) from theoretical investigation

The electronic and molecular structures of mono- and dihalocarbene anions constructed by model CX¹X^2?? (X¹, X² = H, F, Cl, Br, I), as well as the corresponding carbenes CX¹X² and analogous silicon-anions SiX¹X^2??, have been studied in detail using the B3LYP, MP2, and QCISD(T) levels of theory. Our calculated findings suggest that stabilization of the compounds is associated with the size of the halogen substituent X, which is further confirmed by ionization energies, the spin density (S _d), and the second-order perturbative energies (E(2)). Besides, we have also explored the source of the anions’ proton affinity difference.

Sn(II)―X和Sn(IV)―X (X=O,S, N,C, P,As, Se,Te, F,Cl, Br,I)键价参数

Theoretical study of aluminide clusters Al13X, Al13X−, and Al13X 2 − (X=H, Hal, OH, NH2, CH3, and C6H5)

The structural, electronic, energy, and vibrational characteristics of the Al₁₃X^? and Al₁₃X ₂ ^? clusters, with an aluminum-centered (Al_c) icosahedral cage Al₁₃ and with one or two outer-sphere ligands X=H, F, Cl, Br, OH, NH₂, CH₃, C₆H₅, have been calculated within the B3LYP approximation of the density functional theory using the 6-31G* and 6-311+G* basis sets. In all Al₁₃X^? radicals, the unpaired electron is localized at the cage atom Al* located opposite the Al-X bond. This Al* atom is the most favorable site for attaching the second X ligand of any nature (trans-addition rule). According to the previously suggested molecular model of the valence state of the [Al ₁₃ ^? ] “superatom,” the calculated energies D ₁(Al ₁₃ ^? -X) of addition of the first ligand to the Al ₁₃ ^? anion are about 1 eV lower than the corresponding energies of addition of the second ligand D ₂(XAl ₁₃ ^? -X). The structure of the Al₁₃ cage depends on the nature of the nature of the substituent X and can radically change in going from anions to their neutral congeners. In the lowest-lying Al₁₃X isomer with electronegative substituents X (Hal, OH, NH₂, CH₃, etc.), the aluminum cage has a marquee structure (1, symmetry C _s) with a hexagonal base and a pentagonal “roof.” For Al₁₃X analogues with electropositive ligands X (Al, Li, Na), a tridentate isomer (T, C _3v ) with the X substituent coordinated to a face of the Al₁₃ icosahedron is preferable. In the case of moderately electronegative X ligands (of the H type), the marquee (1) and icosahedral (T) isomers are close in energy. The stretching vibration frequencies of isomers 1 and T differ significantly in magnitude and intensity so that vibrational spectroscopy methods can be especially applicable to their experimental identification.     

Organophosphines in PtPCOX (X = N,Cl, S), PtPCNX (X = Cl,S, Br,I, As) and PtPCClX (X = S,I, As) derivatives: structural aspects

In this review are classified and analyzed structural parameters of almost 90 monomeric organoplatinum complexes with inner coordination spheres consisting of PtPCOX (X?=?N, Cl, S), PtPCNX (X?=?Cl, S, Br, I, As) and PtPCClX (X?=?S, I, As). These complexes crystallized in three crystal systems: orthorhombic (× 11), triclinic (× 32) and monoclinic (× 45). Distorted square planar arrangements about the Pt(II) atoms are provided by mono-, heterobi- and heterotridentate donor ligands. The chelating ligands create a wide variety of four-, five- and six-membered metallocyclic rings and the effects of both steric and electronic factors influence the L–Pt–L bite angles. There are wide variations in the trans-positions of the donor ligands. Two examples are classified as distortion isomers.     

C70X2(X=H,F, Cl)的稳定性和电子光谱

用INDO方法研究C70H2四种异构体的稳定性, 表明其最稳定异构体为1, 9-C70H2和7, 8-C70H2, 两者能量差为16.3KJ.mol^-^1, 与实验值及ab initio计算值接近; 光谱计算表明, 其特征吸收峰与实验值一致。在此基础上预测C70F2和C70Cl2的稳定性和电子光谱, 表明C70F2四种异构体的稳定性顺序与C70H2一致, 而C70Cl2则以21, 42-异构体最为稳定。二者的电子光谱与C70H2极其相似只是在500nm以上有细微差别。     

C56X10(X=F,Cl, Br,I)的结构稳定性和电子性质

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的广义梯度近似(GGA)方法对C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I)的结构稳定性和电子性质进行了计算研究. 结构稳定性计算表明: 对于C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I), 能隙、反应热、最大振动频率和最小振动频率都随着X原子序数的增加而减小, 表明C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I)的稳定性随着X原子序数的增加而逐渐降低, 其中C56F10最为稳定. 前人在实验上已成功合成出C56Cl10, 因此, 我们推测C56F10有望在实验上成功合成. 前线轨道计算发现, C56相邻的五边形公共顶点以及两个六边形-五边形-六边形公共顶点是笼子中化学活性最强的部位, 有利于卤族元素的外部吸附. 此外, 计算结果还显示, C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I)的电负性随着X原子序数的增大而逐渐减弱, C—X基团的电负性因位置的不同而不同.     

Theoretical study on tetranuclear boron clusters: B4X4 (X = H, F, Cl, Br, I)

The molecular orbitals for B4H4, B4F4, B4Cl4, B4Br4 and B4I4 have been calculated by using all-electron or effective core potential ab initio method at the self-consistent field level using basis sets with diffuse and polarization functions. The boron-boron and boron-halide (-hydrogen) distances of these cage compounds are optimized with three kinds of basis sets constrained to a tetrahedral symmetry. According to the localization scheme of Boys, four three-centered two-electron (3c2e) B-B-B bonds localized on each of the faces of the B4 tetrahedron are derived for B4X4 clusters. The HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, atomization energies and Mulliken overlap populations of these compounds indicate that the stabilities of the clusters decrease in the sequence of B4F4 > B4Cl4, B4H4 > B4Br4 > B4I4.

Theoretical Evidence of Aromaticity in X3 − (X = B, Al, Ga) Species

We investigated the electronic structure and chemical bonding of the B₃ ^–, Al₃ ^–, and Ga₃ ^– anions, and the gas phase NaB₃, NaAl₃, and NaGa₃ molecules. We found that the ground state of the neutral gas phase salts contains an equilateral triangular anion interacting with a Na⁺ cation. The B₃ ^–, Al₃ ^–, and Ga₃ ^– anions possess two delocalized electrons and are found to be aromatic. The triangular anions have been shown to be related to recently synthesized organometallic compound containing an aromatic -Ga₃ ^2– unit, but they are differ from them by four valence electrons. The reason for earlier appearance of the -orbital in the B₃ ^–, Al₃ ^–, and Ga₃ ^– anions is discussed.     

CH2X(X=H,F,Cl)与臭氧反应机理的量子化学研究

用量子化学UMP2方法,在6-311++G**基组水平上研究了CH2X(X=H,F,Cl)与臭氧反应机理,全参数优化了反应过程中反应物、中间体、过渡态和产物的几何构型,在UQCISD(T)/6-311++G**水平上计算了它们的能量,并对它们进行了振动分析,以确定中间体和过渡态的真实性.从CH2X(X=H,F,Cl)与O3的反应机理的研究结果看,它们与O3反应的活性都比较强,相对而言,活性大小顺序为CH2F＞CH3＞CH2Cl,也就是说,CH2F自由基与臭氧间的反应活性最强,对大气臭氧的损耗将是最大的.同时研究还发现CH2X(X=H,F,Cl)系列自由基与O3的反应都是强放热反应.     

Structures and bonding situation of Pb2X2 (X?=?H, F, Cl, Br and I)

Quantum chemical calculations using DFT (BP86) and ab initio methods (MP2, MP4 and CCSD(T)) have been carried out for the title compounds. The nature of the Pb?CPb interactions has been investigated with an energy decomposition analysis. The energy minimum structures of the halogen substituted Pb₂X₂ molecules possess a doubly bridged butterfly geometry A like the parent system Pb₂H₂. The unusual geometry can be explained with the interactions between PbX fragments in the X ²?? ground state which leads to one Pb?CPb electron-sharing ?? bond and two donor?Cacceptor bonds between the Pb?CX bonds as donor and vacant p(??) AOs of Pb. The energy difference between the equilibrium form A and the linear structure XPb??PbX (E) which is a second-order saddle point is much higher when X is a halogen atom than for X?=?H. This is because the a ⁴??^?????X ²?? excitation energies of PbX (X?=?F?CI) are higher than for PbH. The structural isomers B, D1, D2, E, F1, F2 and G of Pb₂X₂ are no minima on the potential energy surface.     

Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Structures of X−⋅⋅⋅CH2O (X=F,Cl, Br,I) Complexes

A combined experimental and theoretical approach has been used to investigate X⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O (X=F, Cl, Br, I) complexes in the gas phase. Photoelectron spectroscopy, in tandem with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, has been used to determine electron binding energies for the Cl⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O, Br⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O, and I⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O species. Additionally, high-level CCSD(T) calculations found a C_2v minimum for these three anion complexes, with predicted electron detachment energies in excellent agreement with the experimental photoelectron spectra. F⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O was also studied theoretically, with a C_s hydrogen-bonded complex found to be the global minimum. Calculations extended to neutral X⋅⋅⋅CH₂O complexes, with the results of potential interest to atmospheric CH₂O chemistry.
