Structure of Charge Transfer Reaction Complexes Formed in Anionic Polymerization of Isoprene

A new mechanism is suggested for the anionic polymerization of isoprene. The key moment of this mechanism is thermal electron excitation of the complex of a living polymer with a monomer to the low lying S₁ (T₁) state involving a charge (electron) and (Li⁺) cation transfer from the terminal unit to the monomer molecule. It is stated that the probability of chemical bonding depends on the spin density on the radical centers of reactant molecules and on the geometry of the reaction complex. The semiempirical AM1 and ab initio 6-31G* quantum-chemical calculations revealed strong interaction for the ground electronic state of the complex (5-10 kcal/mole) and low energies of the excited triplet levels (<10 kcal/mole).

理论研究了离子型配合物[OsN(mnt)2]-[mnt=S2C2(CN)2)]的电子结构和光谱性质, 考察不同配体三价N、二硫氰烯S2C2(CN)2和金属Os的相互作用对光化学性质的影响. 分别在B3LYP/LANL2DZ和CIS/LANL2DZ水平上优化了配合物的基态和激发态结构. 与基态(1A1)相比, 激发态(3A2)的Os≡N 的键长缩短了0.0066 nm, 这与计算得到的频率增大一致, 使用TD-DFT方法计算得到了配合物的吸收和发射光谱. 计算得到的位于300 nm(f=0.1497)和262 nm(f=0.2890)的强吸收都来自1A1→1B1跃迁, 分别指认为SC→Os≡N+CN 和N+SC→Os≡N+CN的电子跃迁. 最低能量的吸收位于446 nm(f=0.0206) 处, 来自1A1→1B2的电子跃迁, 指认为N→Os和 N+SC→CN. 计算得到配合物在气态的磷光发射位于678 nm(A3A2→X1A1)处, 而在丙酮溶液中则蓝移到了625 nm处, 跃迁属性不变, 都是N→Os和S→Os的跃迁.     

A Method for Clustering and Screening of Long-dimensional Chemical Data Based on Fingerprints and Similarity Measurements

A method for the treatment of long-dimensional chemical data arrays is presented in this work with the aim of maximising classification models. The method is based on the construction of fingerprints and the subsequent generation of a similarity matrix. The similarity calculation has been modified through a scaling process to take into account different significance shown by the variables. The method was applied to spectral measurements of wines and several aspects were studied, namely: threshold considered in the construction of fingerprints and patterns, weighting factor used for scaling, normalisation method, etc. The application of both Principal Components Analysis and Soft-Independent Modelling of Class Analogies to the similarity matrices gave better classifications of the information than those obtained using original data.     

Analysis of the effect of the electronic structure of the Cl atom in complexes of chlorides of group IV elements on Cl NQR frequency and asymmetry parameter

Analysis of changes in ³⁵Cl NQR frequency of complexes MCl₄.L and MCl₄.2L for M = Si, Ge, Sn and Ti was performed. The population of the atomic orbitals was calculated by the quantum chemistry methods PM3 and INDO. The results provided an explanation of the changes in ³⁵Cl NQR frequency and the asymmetry parameter upon complex formation. In the complexes of non-transition elements, a decrease in ³⁵Cl NQR frequency is first of all related to increasing population of p_z orbitals on Cl atoms. In the complexes of Ti, the increase in ³⁵Cl NQR frequency depends on a decrease in the p_π to d_π electron density transfer.

Der Gaskomplex MnAlF5 und sein Einfluß auf die sublimative Reinigung von AlF3

The Gas Complex MnAlF₅ and its Influence on the Purification of AlF₃ by Sublimation The gas complex MnAlF₅ has been determined mass spectroscopically by the ions MnAlF₅⁺ and MnAlF₄⁺. The gas complex MnAlF₅ is formed above 973 K by heating up mixtures of AlF₃/MnF₂ or AlF₃ · 3 H₂O endowed with Mn²⁺ or by heating up solid MnAlF₅ too. At 1 008 K the enthalpie of dissociation is 197 kJ/mole. The equilibrium structures of the high spin molecule MnAlF₅ (S = 5/2) were examined with ab initio calculations at the HF-level by comlete gradient optimizing. Two minimum structures were found on the potential energy surface. A bidentate fluorine bridged structure was found to be the most stable at the HF-level. Vibrational frequencies and thermodynamic functions of complex formation were estimated for both minimum structures. The importance of the formation of the gas complex for the separation of MnF₂ and AlF₃ by sublimation is discussed.     

Sorption of alkali metals and silver nitrates from binary and multicomponent solutions by a crown-containing polymer

The equilibrium in the systems containing a polymer based on dibenzo-18-crown-6 and binary or multicomponent aqueous solutions of NaNO₃, KNO₃, RbNO₃, and AgNO₃ was studied. The constants of the sorption of the individual electrolytes from solution into the polymer were determined. Preliminary calculations of the phase composition on sorption of 11 mixtures of electrolytes with a common anion from the data on the equilibria in the systems with one electrolyte are possible.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Use of cluster expansion techniques in quantum chemistry. A linear response model for calculating energy differences

In this paper we have reviewed the theoretical framework of the coupled-cluster (cc) based linear response model as a tool for directly calculating energy differences of spectroscopic interest like excitation energy (ee), ionisation potential (ip) or electron affinity (ea). In this model, the ground state of a many-electron system is described as in a coupled cluster theory for closed shells. The electronic ground state is supposed to interact with an external photon field of frequencyw, and the poles of the linear response function as a function ofw furnish with the elementary excitations of the system. Depending on the general form of the coupling term chosen, appropriate difference energies like ee, ip or EA may be generated. Pertinent derivations of the general working equations are reviewed, and specific details as well as approximations for ee, ip or ea are indicated. It is shown that the theory bears a close resemblance to the equation of motion (eom) method but is superior to the latter in that the ground state correlation is taken to all orders and may be looked upon as essentially a variant of renormalisedtda. A perturbative analysis elucidating the underlying perturbative structure of the formulation is also given which reveals that the theory has a hybrid structure: the correlation terms are treated akin to an open shellmbpt, while the relaxation terms are treated akin to a Green function theory. A critique of the methodvis-a-vis other cc-based approaches for difference energies forms the concluding part of our review.
