Properties of a Ring Critical Pointas Measures of Intramolecular H-Bond Strength

Summary.  The topological parameters derived from the Bader theory such as the electron density and its Laplacian at the ring critical point (RCP) are analysed here as possible measures of the H-bond stength for intramolecular H-bonds. The parameters of RCP correlate well with the other properties of intramolecular H-bonds which are known as good measures of the H-bond strength. The calculations were performed on two samples of compounds with intramolecular H-bonds: the derivatives of malonaldehyde and the derivatives of o-hydroxybenzaldehyde. MP2 and HF calculations were carried out using a 6-311++G^** basis set. E-mail: slagra@krysia.uni.lodz.pl Received February 18, 2002; accepted (revised) May 27, 2002     

三接触弯曲构型的蓝移氢键CH3…Y的理论研究

运用量子化学从头算方法, 在MP2/6-311＋＋G(d,p), MP2/6-311＋＋G(2df,2p), MP2/6-311＋＋G(3df,3pd)和QCISD/6-311＋＋G(d,p)水平上, 研究了CH₃F, CH₃Cl和CH₃Br作为质子给体与Cl^－, Br^－作为质子接受体形成的氢键CH₃…Y. 计算结果表明: 6种复合物中C—H键收缩, 伸缩振动频率增大, 形成蓝移氢键. 分子中原子(Atoms in Molecules, AIM)分析表明, 这些复合物的电子密度拓扑性质与普通氢键有着本质的不同, 在Y…H之间不存在键临界点, 而在Y与C之间存在键临界点, 因此这些相互作用严格地不能称为氢键. 自然键轨道(Natural bond orbital, NBO)分析表明, 在这些复合物中弯曲的CH…Y的特殊结构使得分子间超共轭n(Y)®σ*(C—H)减小到可以忽略; 质子接受体的电子密度没有转移到σ*(C—H)上, 而是转移到了σ*(C—X) (X＝F, Cl, Br)上; 存在一定程度的重杂化; 分子内超共轭相互作用减小使得σ*(C—H)的电子密度减少. 这些因素共同导致C—H伸缩振动频率的蓝移.     

Polarisabilites moléculaires et effet diélectrique de milieu à l'état liquide. Étude théorique de la molécule d'eau et de ses diméres

The model of Onsager in which a polar molecule undergoes a reaction field due to the polarization of the molecular surroundings is used to evaluate by a S.C.F. calculation (CNDO/2 approximation) the modifications of a molecular structure in the liquid state.Application to water molecule and to three polar dimers for values of the dielectric constant varying between 3 and 78, shows that most of geometric parameters and dipoles moments vary of few per cent when the molecule is inserted in a liquid. In the liquid state dipole moments do not depend very much on the dielectric constant but energies and relative stabilities of isomers are strongly dependent on the medium.[/p]

     

Strong intramolecular hydrogen bond N—H...O in 2-(2-acyl-1-phenylethenyl)-5-phenylpyrroles

The molecular structure of 2-(2-benzoyl-1-phenylethenyl)-5-phenylpyrrole and 2-(2-furoyl-1-phenylethenyl)-5-phenylpyrrole was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis at 110 K and quantum chemistry methods (B3LYP/6-31G*). In the crystalline state, both compounds have cyclic structures closed by strong intramolecular hydrogen bond N—H...O. Canonic zwitterionic structure contributes largely to the ground state of the molecules. This is probably due to synergism of the H-bonding and -electron interactions.     

7-羟基喹啉-(H2O)n(n=1,2)复合物氢键相互作用的密度泛函理论研究

许多生理过程都通过分子间相互作用来实现。氢键则是最基本的化学作用力之一。具有碱性和酸性双官能团的芳香族化合物能与水作用形成氢键网络，对于实现生物体系的物质转移（质子转移、离子转移）起着十分重要的作用。在非水溶剂中，通过氢键发生质子转移反应动力学实验特征也己进行了广泛的研究。本文用密度泛函B3LYP方法在6-311G^＊基组水平上对7-羟基喹啉-水复合物相互作用进行了研究，从成键特征及氢键复合物的稳定关系方面进行了理论计算。

Spectroscopic and Quantum Mechanical Studies of Substituted Anilines and their Charge-Transfer Complexes with Iodine in Different Solvents

Summary. Equilibrium constants and molar extinction coefficients for 1:1 charge-transfer complexes between 2-hydroxyaniline (HA), 5-chloro-2-hydroxyaniline (CHA), and 4-bromo-2,6-dimethylaniline (BMA) as donors and iodine, as a typical σ-acceptor were determined spectrophotometrically in chloroform, dichloromethane, and carbontetrachloride solutions. Spectral characteristics and formation constants are discussed in terms of donor molecular structure and solvent polarity. The stoichiometry of the complexes was established to be 1:1. For this purpose, optical data were subjected to the form of the Rose-Drago equation for 1:1 equilibria. Electronic absorption spectra of the studied anilines were measured in different solvents. Spectral data were reported and band maxima were assigned to the appropriate molecular orbital transitions (π–π^* and n–π^* electronic transition). Solvent effects on the electronic transitions were discussed. Optimized geometry of the studied anilines was obtained at B3LYP/6-31 + G(d). The effect of the electronic factors of the substituents on the geometrical parameters of the ring has been explored. Geometrical values of the ring deviate from the regular hexagonal ring. Intramolecular H-bonds in HA and CHA have been computed at B3LYP/6-31 + G(d) and MP2/6-31 + G(d) levels. The H-bonding distance was calculated to be 2.105 ? in HA and 2.127 ? in CHA.

Nature of Electron Donor Centers of Phosphoalkenes in H-Bond Complexes

Phosphoalkenes (1), (R, R^I, and R^II = H, Hal, Nalk₂) show alternative nucleophilic properties towards HX acids or transition metal salts, and depending upon reagent characteristics form addition products throught one of P=C double bond atoms. Coordination of a ligand to a cation by its π-electron donor is also observed due to quazidegeneration of higher occupied molecular orbital.     

Synthesis and Hydrogen-Bond Patterns of Aryl-Group Substituted Silanediols and -triols from Alkoxy- and Chlorosilanes

Organosilanols typically show a high condensation tendency and only exist as stable isolable molecules under very specific steric and electronic conditions at the silicon atom. In the present work, various novel representatives of this class of compounds were synthesized by hydrolysis of alkoxy- or chlorosilanes. Phenyl, 1-naphthyl, and 9-phenanthrenyl substituents at the silicon atom were applied to systematically study the influence of the aromatic substituents on the structure and reactivity of the compounds. Chemical shifts in ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy in solution, correlated well with the expected electronic situation induced by the substitution pattern on the Si atom. ¹H NMR studies allowed the detection of strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Single-crystal X-ray structures of the alkoxides and the chlorosilanes are dominated by π-π interactions of the aromatic systems, which are substituted by strong hydrogen bonding interactions representing various structural motifs in the respective silanol structures.     

Comparison of calorimetric and IR-spectroscopic data for alcohols and alcoholic solutions

The heats of solution of alcohols in hexane can be considered as the energy necessary to break hydrogen bonds (H-bond). The amount of non H-bonded OH groups estimated from caloric data, are in good agreement with IR-spectroscopic data. Comparison of calorimetric and IR-spectroscopically determined H-bond energies permit the separation of intermolecular van der Waals effects from H-bond interactions. This separation shows that van der Waals interactions of alcohols or water should not be underestimated.
