Si2CN: a stable nitrogen-containing radical with cyclic ground state

The structures and isomerization of Si(2)CN species are explored at density functional theory and ab initio levels. Fourteen minimum isomers are located connected by 23 interconversion transition states. At the coupled-cluster single double (CCSD)(T)/6-311+G(2df)//QCISD/6-311G(d) +zero-point vibrational energies level, the thermodynamically most stable isomer is a four-membered ring form cSiSiCN 1 with Si-C cross bonding. Isomer 1 has very strong C-N multiple bonding characters, formally suggestive of a radical adduct between Si(2) and CN. Such a highly pi-electron localization can effectively stabilize isomer 1 to be the ground state. The second low-lying isomer is a linear form SiCNSi 5 (9.8 kcal/mol above 1) with resonating structure among [Si=C-*N=Si], *[Si=C=N=Si], and [Si=C=N-Si*]* with the former two bearing more weight. The species 1 and 5 have very high kinetic stability stabilized by the barriers of at least 25 kcal/mol. Both isomers should be experimentally or astrophysically observable. In light of the fact that no cyclic nitrogen-containing species have been detected in space, the cyclic species 1 could be a very promising candidate. The calculated results are compared to those of the analogous molecules C(3)N, C(3)P, SiC(2)N, and SiC(2)P. Implications of Si(2)CN in interstellar and N-doped SiC vaporization processes are also discussed.     

Monosilicon-substituted cyanoacetylene: a computational study

A detailed theoretical investigation of the [H,Si,C(2),N] potential energy surfaces including 28 minimum isomers and 65 interconversion transition states is reported at the Gaussian-3//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. Generally, the triplet species lie energetically higher than the singlet ones. The former three low-lying isomers are linear HCCNSi 1 (0.00 kcal/mol), branched SiC(H)CN 12 (7.09 kcal/mol), and bent HNCCSi 7 (14.22 kcal/mol), which are separated by rather high barriers from each other and are kinetically very stable with the least conversion barriers of 32.6-70.5 kcal/mol. Two energetically high-lying isomers HCNCSi 3 (42.99 kcal/mol) and SiC(H)NC 13 (36.05 kcal/mol) are also kinetically stable with a barrier of 49.19 and 21.42 kcal/mol, respectively. Additionally, five high-lying isomers, that is, three chainlike isomers, HCCSiN 2 (55.17), HCSiNC 6 (47.80), HSiNCC 11 (78.83), and one three-membered ring isomer HN-cSiCC 19 (51.21), and one four-membered ring isomer cSiCN(H)C 27 (50.6 kcal/mol), are predicted to each have lower conversion barriers of 12-18 kcal/mol and can be considered as meta-stable species. All of the predicted 10 isomers could exist as stable or meta-stable intermediates under suitable conditions. Finally, the structural and bonding analysis indicate that the [H,Si,C(2),N] molecule contains various properties that are of chemical interest (e.g., silylene, SiC triple bonding, and conjugate SiN triple bonding and CC triple bonding, charge-transfer specie, planar aromatic specie, cumulate double bonding). This is the first detailed theoretical study on the potential energy surfaces of the series of hydrogenated Si,C,C,N-containing molecules. The knowledge of the present monohydrogenated SiC(2)N isomerism could provide useful information for more highly hydrogenated or larger Si,C(2),N-containing species.     

The many ways to have a quintuple bond

The existence and persistence of five-fold (quintuple) bonding in isomers of model RMMR molecules of quite different geometry are examined theoretically. The molecules studied are RMMR, with R = H, F, Cl, Br, CN, and CH3; M = Cr, Mo, and W. The potential energy surface of these molecules is quite complex, containing two, three, even four local minima. The structural preferences in these molecules are rationalized, and electronic factors responsible for these preferences are elucidated. The linear geometry is always a minimum, but almost never the global minimum; there is a definite preference in RMMR for either a trans-bent conformation or perturbations of the trans-bent isomer with at least one of the R groups in a bridging position about the MM bond. The potential energy surface of these RMMR molecules is relatively flat, the lowest energy conformation being that which for a given molecule attains the best compromise between maximization of the MM bonding and minimization of orbital interactions that are MR antibonding. A surprising low-symmetry C(s) structure is identified, which along with the trans-bent isomer is one of the two most popular choices for the global minimum. Regardless of what isomer of the RMMR molecule is preferred, the MM quintuple bond persists.     

A photoelectron spectroscopic and computational study of sodium auride clusters, NanAun- (n = 1-3)

Negatively charged sodium auride clusters, NanAun- (n = 1-3), have been investigated experimentally using photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Well-resolved electronic transitions were observed in the photoelectron spectra of NanAun- (n = 1-3) at several photon energies. Very large band gaps were observed in the photoelectron spectra of the anion clusters, indicating that the corresponding neutral clusters are stable closed-shell species. Calculations show that the global minimum of Na2Au2- is a quasi-linear species with Cs symmetry. A planar isomer of D2h symmetry is found to be 0.137 eV higher in energy. The two lowest energy isomers of Na3Au3- consist of three-dimensional structures of Cs symmetry. The global minimum of Na3Au3- has a bent-flake structure lying 0.077 eV below a more compact structure. The global minima of the sodium auride clusters are confirmed by the good agreement between the calculated electron detachment energies of the anions and the measured photoelectron spectra. The global minima of neutral Na2Au2 and Na3Au3 are found to possess higher symmetries with a planar four-membered ring (D2h) and a six-membered ring (D3h) structure, respectively. The chemical bonding in the sodium auride clusters is found to be highly ionic with Au acting as the electron acceptor.     

Theoretical studies of the N2O van der Waals dimer: ab initio potential energy surface, intermolecular vibrations and rotational transition frequencies

Theoretical studies of the potential energy surface and bound states were performed for the N(2)O dimer. A four-dimensional intermolecular potential energy surface (PES) was constructed at the CCSD(T) level with aug-cc-pVTZ basis set supplemented with bond functions. Three co-planar local minima were found on this surface. They correspond to a nonpolar isomer with slipped-antiparallel planar structure and two equivalent polar isomers with slipped-parallel planar structures. The nonpolar isomer is energetically more stable than the polar ones by 162 cm(-1). To assign the fundamental vibrational frequencies for both isomers, more than 150 vibrational bound states were calculated based on this PES. The orientation of the nodal surface of the wave functions plays an important role in the assignment of disrotation and conrotation vibrational modes. The calculated vibrational frequencies are in good agreement with the available experimental data. We have also found a quantum tunneling effect between the two equivalent polar structures in the higher vibrational excited states. Rotational transition frequencies of the polar structure were also calculated. The accuracy of the PES is validated by the good agreement between theoretical and experimental results for the transition frequencies and spectroscopic parameters.

Theoretical study on structures and stability of Si2CP isomers

The structures, energetics, spectroscopies, and isomerization of various doublet Si2CP species are explored theoretically. In contrast to the previously studied SiC2N and SiC2P radicals that have linear SiCCN and SiCCP ground states, the title Si2CP radical has a four-membered-ring form cSiSiPC 1 (0.0 kcal/mol) with Si-C cross-bonding as the ground-state isomer at the CCSD(T)/6-311G(2df)//B3LYP/6-311G(d)+ZPVE level, similar to the Si2CN radical. The second low-lying isomer 2 at 11.6 kcal/mol has a SiCSiP four-membered ring with C-P cross-bonding, yet it is kinetically quite unstable toward conversion to 1 with a barrier of 3.5 kcal/mol. In addition, three cyclic species with divalent carbene character, i.e., cSiSiCP 7, 7' with C-P cross-bonding and cSiCSiP 8 with Si-Si cross-bonding, are found to possess considerable kinetic stability, although they are energetically high lying at 44.4, 46.5, and 41.4 kcal/mol, respectively. Moreover, a linear isomer SiCSiP 5 at 44.3 kcal/mol also has considerable kinetic stability and predominantly features the interesting cumulenic /Si=C=Si=P/* form with a slight contribution from the silicon-phosphorus triply bonded form /Si=C*-Si[triple bond]P/. The silicon-carbon triply bonded form *Si[triple bond]C-Si[triple bond]P/ has negligible contribution. All five isomers are expected to be observable in low-temperature environments. Their bonding nature and possible formation strategies are discussed. For relevant species, the QCISD/6-311G(d) and CCSD(T)/6-311+G(2df) (single-point) calculations are performed to provide more reliable results. The calculated results are compared to those of the analogous C3N, C3P, SiC2N, and Si2CN radicals with 17 valence electrons. Implications in interstellar space and P-doped SiC vaporization processes are also discussed.     

Termolecular ion-molecule reactions in Titan’s atmosphere. II: The structure of the association adducts of HCNH+ with C2H2 and C2H4

The ion-molecule reactivity of the products formed in the association reactions of HCNH+ with C2H2 (C3H4N+) and C2H4 (C3H6N+) has been investigated to provide information on the structures of the adducts thus formed. The C3H4N+ and C3H6N+ adducts were formed in the reaction flow tube of a flowing afterglow sourced-selected ion flow tube (FA-SIFT) and their reactivity with a neutral molecular "probe" examined. The reactivity of possible known structural isomers for the C3H4N+ and C3H6N+ ions was investigated in both the FA-SIFT and an ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer (ICR). Ab initio investigations of the potential energy surfaces for both structures at the G2(MP2) level have also been performed and structures corresponding to local minima on both surfaces have been identified and evaluated. The results of these experimental and theoretical studies show that at room temperature, the C3H4N+ adduct ion contains two isomers; a less reactive one that is likely to be a four-membered cyclic covalent isomer (approximately 70%) and a faster reacting component that is probably an electrostatic complex (approximately 30%). The C3H6N+ adduct ion formed from HCNH+ + C2H4 at room temperature is a single isomer that is likely to be the four-membered covalently bound cyclic CH2CH2CHNH+ species.     

SiCNN--a new stable isomer with Si(triple bond)C triple bonding

To predict potentially stable molecules with Si(triple bond)C triple bonding, theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/ 6-311G(d) and CCSD(T)/6-311G(2df) (single-point) levels were employed to study the structures, energetics, and isomerization of various SiCN2 isomers. A schematic potential energy surface (PES) of SiCN2 was established to discuss the kinetic stability of the isomers. A new isomer SiCNN was found to possess a typical Si(triple bond)C triple bond, as confirmed by comparative calculations at the B3LYP, QCISD, QCISD(T), CCSD, and CCSD(T) levels on the bond lengths of SiCNN and other experimentally or theoretically known species of RSiCH (R = H, F, Cl, OH). Moreover, SiCNN resides in a very deep potential, the stabilization barrier is at least 53.2 kcal mol(-1). Thus, SiCNN may be considered as the most kinetically stable isomer with Si(triple bond)C triple bonding known to date, and it may represent a very promising molecule for future experimental characterization. In addition, the stability of the other isomers, such as the four linear species SiNCN, SiNNC, NSiCN and NSiNC, a three-membered NNC ring isomer with exocyclic C-Si bonding, and a four-membered SiCNN ring isomer is discussed and compared with SiCNN.
