大基组在价键计算中的处理

编写了普适性的多键表自洽场程序，该程序能对单电子轨道展开系数和键表系数同时优化，其中单电子轨道的展开空间可任意定义，实际计算建议采用“杂化”轨道形式，即每个单电子轨道只对一个原子的基函数展开。对Ｈ２、Ｌｉ２及ＨＬｉ采用不同基组进行计算，结果表明用３个键表自洽计算所得能量与ＭＰ２结果相近，且我们的计算对键的共价性和离子性分析非常直观。     

Comparison of triel bonds with different chalcogen electron donors: Its dependence on triel donor and methyl substitution

The complexes between R₃Tr (Tr = B, Al, and Ga; R = H, F, Cl, and Br) and H₂X (X = O, S, and Se) were theoretically studied. The interaction energies of R₃Al⋯H₂X and R₃Ga⋯H₂X are consistent with the electronegativity of the halogen atom R (R ≠ H), but an opposite dependence is found for R₃B⋯H₂X. The triel bond of R₃Tr⋯H₂X is weaker for the heavier chalcogen donor. The dependence of triel bonding strength on the triel atom is complicated, depending on the nature of R and X. The methyl substitution of H₂X causes a substantial increase in the interaction energy from −5.74 kcal/mol to −22.88 kcal/mol, and its effect is relevant to the nature of Tr, X, and R groups. For the S and Se donors, the increased percentage of interaction energy is almost the same due to the methyl substitution, which is larger than that of the O analogue. In most triel-bonded complexes, electrostatic dominates and polarization has comparable contribution. However, polarization plays a dominant role in R₃B⋯ and R₃B⋯ (R = Cl and Br; R′ = H and Me).     

Optimal virtual orbitals to relax wave functions built up with transferred extremely localized molecular orbitals

Extremely localized molecular orbitals (ELMOs), namely orbitals strictly localized on molecular fragments, are easily transferable from one molecule to another one. Hence, they provide a natural way to set up the electronic structure of large molecules using a data base of orbitals obtained from model molecules. However, this procedure obviously increases the energy with respect to a traditional MO calculation. To gain accuracy, it is important to introduce a partial electron delocalization. This can be carried out by defining proper optimal virtual orbitals that supply an efficient set for nonorthogonal configurations to be employed in VB-like expansions.     

Classical Valence Similarity in Fullerene Derivatives

Summary.  The generalized Pauling bond order was enumerated in the C₆₀ fullerene cage molecule (truncated icosahedral symmetry). This index measures chemical similarity in fullerene derivatives such as dihydrofullerene (C₆₀H₂), anionized monohydrofullerene (C₆₀H⁻), N-substituted monohydrofullerene (C₅₉NH), the fullerene dimer ((C₆₀)₂), and the dianionic fullerene dimer ((C₆₀)₂ ²⁻). It is also useful in judging the chemical stability of isomers. Received October 9, 2001. Accepted November 9, 2001     

Reduced parabolic model for radical addition reactions

The transition state of addition of free radicals and atoms to multiple bonds is considered as a result of intersecting of two parabolic potential curves. One of them characterizes the stretching vibration of the attacked multiple bond, and another curve characterizes the stretching vibration of the bond formed in the transition state. The force constant of the latter is calculated by an empirical equation that correlates the force constant with the bond dissociation energy. In the framework of this model, the thermally neutral activation energy (E _e0) and the elongation of the attacked and formed bonds (r _e) in the transition state were calculated from the experimental data (activation energy (E _e) and enthalpy of reaction (H _e)) for the addition of an H atom and methyl, alkoxyl, aminyl, triethylsilyl, and peroxyl radicals to the C=C bond and the addition of H and CH₃ to the C=O and CC bonds. Analysis of the data obtained showed that E _e0 depends linearly on the |H _e| + E_e sum, i.e., E_e0/kJ mol^–1 = 14.2 + 0.61 · (E_e – H _e), and the bond elongation in the transition state for addition of the most part of radicals to ethylene and acetylene vary within (0.65–0.87)·10_–10 m. The factors affecting the activation energy of the radical addition reactions are discussed.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1542–August, 2004.     

Unexpected valence bond isomerization of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]benzotriazines under flash vacuum pyrolytic (fvp) conditions

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (fvp) of some substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]benzotriazine derivatives (1a-d) has been studied between 450 and 600 °C. The only transformation observed up to 525 °C was the unexpected valence bond isomerization of the angularly fused starting compounds to the isomeric linearly fused [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]benzotriazine derivatives (9a-d), whereas at higher temperatures fragmentation products such as aromatic nitriles were also formed. Kinetic measurements revealed negative entropies of activation in the isomerization process, which suggest a concerted ring closure reaction to an intermediate antiaromatic diazirine. Reversibiblity of the title isomerization reaction was also proved by FVP experiments.

trans-Bis-[(−)ephedrinate]-palladium complex: synthesis, molecular modeling and use as catalyst

The reaction between palladium acetate, (−)-ephedrine and potassium acetate led to bis-chelate complex Pd[OCH(Ph)NH(Me)]₂ whose the trans-structure is obtained from calculations. The use of this complex to catalyze either the 1,4-hydrogenation of (E)-2-benzyliden-1-tetralone or Heck reaction of phenyl iodide with 3-methyl-3-buten-2-ol led to a low enantiomeric excess.     

Kinetics and mechanism of reaction of cis-α,β-dinitrostilbene with morpholine

Reaction of cis-,-dinitrostilbene (substrate) with morpholine (reagent) in n-hexane leads to cis--nitro--morpholinostilbene (end product). The process is of first order with respect to the substrate and second order with respect to the reagent. Possible reaction mechanisms are analyzed, and it is established that the following are most probable on the basis of kinetic patterns and stereochemistry: development of a charge transfer complex having a hydrogen bond between the substrate nitro group and reagent amino group; reaction of the complex with a second reagent molecule and formation of a carbanion (this stage determines the overall reaction rate); and detachment of a nitrite ion from the nitrocarbanion and its protonation to form the end product.N.

Chlorodimethylaluminum-promoted nucleophilic addition of lithium pentamethylcyclopentadienide to aliphatic aldehydes and DDQ-mediated carbon-carbon bond cleavage of the adducts providing the parent aldehydes

Treatment of aliphatic aldehyde with lithium pentamethylcyclopentadienide in the presence of chlorodimethylaluminum provided the corresponding carbinol in excellent yield. The carbinol returns to the parent aldehyde and pentamethylcyclopentadiene by the action of a catalytic amount of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ).
