CH3 CH2 +N(4S)反应机理的理论研究

The reaction for CH3CH2+N(4S) was studied by ab initio method. The geometries of the reactants, intermediates, transition states and products were optimized at MP2/6-311+G(d,p) level. The corresponding vibration frequencies were calculated at the same level. The single point calculations for all the stationary points were carried out at the QCISD(T)/ 6-311+G(d,p) level using the MP2/6-311+G(d,p) optimized geometries. The results of the theoretical study indicate that the major products are the CH2CH2+3NH and H2CN＋CH3, and the minor products are the CH3CHN+H in the reaction. The majority of the products CH2CH2+3NH are formed via a direct hydrogen abstraction channel. The products H2CN＋CH3 are produced via an addition/dissociation channel. The products CH3CHN+H are produced via an addition/dissociation channel.

Five products may be formed via the complex reaction channels, i.e. association, H-shift and dissociation.

Silicon monohydride clusters Si(n)H (n = 4-10) and their anions: structures, thermochemistry, and electron affinities

The molecular structures, electron affinities, and dissociation energies of the Si(n)H/Si(n)H- (n = 4-10) species have been examined via five hybrid and pure density functional theory (DFT) methods. The basis set used in this work is of double-zeta plus polarization quality with additional diffuse s- and p-type functions, denoted DZP++. The geometries are fully optimized with each DFT method independently. The three different types of neutral-anion energy separations presented in this work are the adiabatic electron affinity (EA(ad)), the vertical electron affinity (EA(vert)), and the vertical detachment energy (VDE). The first Si-H dissociation energies, D(e)(Si(n)H --> Si(n) + H) for neutral Si(n)H and D(e)(Si(n)H- --> Si(n)- + H) for anionic Si(n)H- species, have also been reported. The structures of the ground states of these clusters are traditional H-Si single-bond forms. The ground-state geometries of Si5H, Si6H, Si8H, and Si9H predicted by the DFT methods are different from previous calculations, such as those obtained by Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics and nonorthogonal tight-binding molecular dynamics schemes. The most reliable EA(ad) values obtained at the B3LYP level of theory are 2.59 (Si4H), 2.84 (Si5H), 2.86 (Si6H), 3.19 (Si7H), 3.14 (Si8H), 3.36 (Si9H), and 3.56 (Si10H) eV. The first dissociation energies (Si(n)H --> Si(n) + H) predicted by all of these methods are 2.20-2.29 (Si4H), 2.30-2.83 (Si5H), 2.12-2.41 (Si6H), 1.75-2.03 (Si7H), 2.41-2.72 (Si8H), 1.86-2.11 (Si9H), and 1.92-2.27 (Si10H) eV. For the negatively charged ion clusters (Si(n)H- --> Si(n)- + H), the dissociation energies predicted are 2.56-2.69 (Si4H-), 2.80-3.01 (Si5H-), 2.86-3.06 (Si6H-), 2.80-3.03 (Si7H-), 2.69-2.92 (Si8H-), 2.92-3.18 (Si9H-), and 2.89-3.25 (Si10H-) eV.     

A simple model for metal cation-phosphate interactions in nucleic acids in the gas phase: Alkali metal cations and trimethyl phosphate

Threshold collision-induced dissociation techniques are employed to determine the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of complexes of alkali metal cations to trimethyl phosphate, TMP. Endothermic loss of the intact TMP ligand is the only dissociation pathway observed for all complexes. Theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory are used to determine the structures, vibrational frequencies, and rotational constants of neutral TMP and the M+(TMP) complexes. Theoretical BDEs are determined from single point energy calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p) level using the B3LYP/6-31G* optimized geometries. The agreement between theory and experiment is reasonably good for all complexes except Li+(TMP). The absolute M+-(TMP) BDEs are found to decrease monotonically as the size of the alkali metal cation increases. No activated dissociation was observed for alkali metal cation binding to TMP. The binding of alkali metal cations to TMP is compared with that to acetone and methanol.

The dissociation kinetics of the manganese, cobalt, and copper complexes of the porphyrins in solutions of sulfuric acid in acetic acid were studied. The kinetic parameters of the dissociation of metal porphyrins were analyzed in relation to the porphyrin structure and nature of the metal.

Theoretical Studies on Stabilities and Spectroscopy of C78O5

The semi-empirical AM1 and INDO/CIS methods as well as density function theory were used to study equilibrium geometries and spectroscopic properties of the possible isomers of C78O5 based on C2v-C78. The most stable geometry of C78O5 is 28,29,30,31,52,53,70,71,73,78-C78O5(A) with one annulene-like structure and four epoxide structures. Compared with that of C2v-C78, the blue-shift in the electronic absorption spectra of C78O5 isomers is predicted. The reason for the blue-shift effect is discussed and the electronic transitions are assigned. The IR and NMR spectra of C78O5 are explored with the AM1 and B3LYP/6-31G methods based on the B3LYP/6-31G optimized geometries.

SiH3+O(3P)反应机理的理论研究

The reaction for SiH3+O(3P) was studied by ab initio method. The geometries of the reactants, intermediates, transition states and products were optimized at MP2/6-311+G(d,p) level. The single point calculations for all the stationary points were carried out at the QCISD(T) /6-311+G(d,p) level using the MP2/6-311+G(d,p) optimized geometries. The results of the theoretical study indicate that the major pathway is the SiH3+O(3P)→IM1→TS3→IM2→TS8→HOSi+H2. The other minor products include the HSiOH+H, H2SiO+H and HSiO+H2. Furthermore, the products HOSi, HSiO and HSiOH(cis) can undergo dissociation into the product SiO. In addition, the calculations provide a possible interpretation for disagreement about the mechanism of the reaction SiH4+O(3P). It suggests that the products HSiOH, H2SiO and SiO observed by Withnall and Andrews are produced from the secondary reaction SiH3+O(3P) and not from the reaction SiH4+O(3P).     

On the existence and lifetimes of Cu2+ complexes with water, ammonia, and hydrogen cyanide

High-level ab initio calculations have been carried out to evaluate the lifetimes of complexes formed by the association of Cu2+ to water, ammonia, and hydrogen cyanide. The corresponding binding energies were evaluated at the CCSD(T)6-311+G(3df,2pd) level of theory. The potential-energy curves corresponding to their dissociation into Cu+ + L+ (L=H2O, NH3, and HCN) were obtained at the CCSD(T)6-311+G(3df,2p) level on BHLYP6-311+G(d,p) optimized geometries. Lifetimes were calculated using the exterior complex scaling and the semiclassical WKB methods. Although all the complexes investigated are thermodynamically unstable with respect to their dissociation into Cu+ + L+ in a typical Coulomb explosion, the activation barrier is high enough to accommodate several vibrational resonances, with very large lifetimes. As a matter of fact, if the three complexes are produced in the lowest vibrational levels, they behave as totally bound (with almost infinite lifetime) species.     

Ab initio calculation of inner-sphere reorganization energies of arenediazonium ion couples

The geometries of a series of substituted arenediazonium cations (p-NO2, p-CN, p-Cl, p-F, p-H, m-CH3, p-CH3, p-OH, p-OCH3, p-NH2) and the corresponding diazenyl radicals were optimized at the HF/6-31G, MP2/6-31G, B3LYP/6-31G, B3LYP/TZP, B3PW91/TZP, and CASSCF/6-31G levels of theory. Inner-sphere reorganization energies for the single electron-transfer reaction between the species were computed from the optimized geometries according to the NCG method and compared to experimental values determined by Doyle et al. All levels of theory predicted a CNN bond angle of 180 degrees in the cation. A bent neutral diazenyl radical was predicted at all levels of theory excepting B3LYP/TZP and B3PW91/TZP for the p-Cl-substituted compound. Inner-sphere reorganization energies determined at the HF, MP2, and CASSCF levels of theory correlated poorly with both experimental results and calculated geometries. Density functional methods correlated best with the experimental values, with B3LYP/6-31G yielding the most promising results, although the ROHF/6-31G survey also showed some promise. B3LYP/6-31G calculations correctly predicted the order of the inner-sphere reorganization energies for the series, excluding the halogen-substituted compounds, with values ranging from 42.8 kcal x mol(-1) for the p-NO2-substituted species to 55.1 kcal x mol(-1) for NH2. The magnitudes of these energies were lower than the experimental by a factor of 2. For the specific cases examined, the closed-shell cation geometries showed the expected geometry about the CNN bond, with variations in the CN and NN bond lengths correlating with the electron-donating/withdrawing capacity of the substituent. As predicted by Doyle et al., a large geometry change was observed upon reduction. The neutral diazenyl radicals showed a nominal CNN bond angle of 120 degrees and variations in the CN and NN bond lengths also correlated with the electron-donating/withdrawing capacity of the substituent. Changes in theta(CNN) and r(CN) both correlated well with calculated lambda(inner). The key parameters influencing inner-sphere reorganization energy were the CN and NN bond lengths and the CNN bond angle. This influence is explained qualitatively via resonance models produced from NRT analysis and is related to the amount of CN double bond character. Based on these observations, B3LYP/6-31G calculations are clearly the most amenable for calculating inner-sphere reorganization energies for the single electron-transfer reaction between cation/neutral arenediazonium ion couples.     

Vibrational spectra of phenyl acridine-9-carboxylates and their 10-methylated cations: A theoretical and experimental study

Infrared spectra of phenyl acridine-9-carboxylates and their 10-methylated cationic derivatives were recorded and discussed. Experimental data were compared with theoretically predicted transitions at the DFT level of theory (using the B3LYP functional and 6-31G** basis set) for optimized geometries of molecules. Substitution influences the values of the wavenumbers of characteristic stretching and bending modes, i.e. those corresponding to ester groups and fragments of molecules containing a heterocyclic nitrogen atom. The experimentally determined transitions of selected groups of atoms correlate well with the theoretically predicted values. Interdependences among some theoretically derived physicochemical features of the compounds and IR frequencies of selected bands are also discussed.     

The Jahn-Teller effect: a case of incomplete theory for d4 complexes?

We present relativistic calculations at the four-component Dirac-DFT level for the geometries of the series of group 9 monoanionic hexafluorides MF(6)(-), M = Co, Rh, Ir. Highly correlated four-component relativistic CCSD(T) energies were also calculated for the optimized geometries. Spin-orbit coupling effects influence the geometrical preferences for molecular structures: relativistic calculations predict ground states with octahedral symmetries O(h)* for all hexafluorides in this study, while at the nonrelativistic limit, a structural deviation toward D(4h) ground state symmetries is predicted. Our findings suggest that relativistic effects have an important role in molecular structure preferences for the title hexafluorides.
