Studies of Thermodynamic Properties and Relative Stability of Polybrominated Xanthones by Density Functional Theory

The thermodynamic properties of xanthone(XTH) and 135 polybrominated xanthones(PBXTHs) in the standard state have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G* level using Gaussian 03 program.The isodesmic reactions were designed to calculate the standard enthalpy of formation(△fHθ) and standard free energy of formation(△fGθ) of PBXTH congeners.The relations of these thermodynamic parameters with the number and position of Br atom substitution(NPBS) were discussed,and it was found that there exist high correlation between thermodynamic parameters(entropy(Sθ),△fHθ and △fGθ) and NPBS.According to the relative magnitude of their △fGθ,the relative stability order of PBXTH congeners was theoretically proposed.The relative rate constants of formation reactions of PBXTH congeners were calculated,Moreover,the values of molar heat capacity at constant pressure(Cp,m) from 200 to 1000 K for PBXTH congeners were also calculated,and the temperature dependence relation of them was obtained,suggesting very good relationships between Cp,m and temperature(T,T-1 and T-2) for almost all PBXTH congeners.

DFT Study on the Thermodynamic Properties of Poly-bromine Carbazole

The molecular structures of 135 poly-bromine carbazole (PBCZs) compounds were fully optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G* level, and their thermodynamic properties at 98.15 K, 1.013 ×105 Pa were consequently obtained. Based on our isodesmic reaction, standard formation heat (ΔfH) and standard formation free energy (ΔfG) of PBCZs were calculated. Furthermore, the relationship between thermodynamic parameters and the position and number (NPBS) of Brsubstitution were also discussed. To our interest, a good dependence can be observed among entropy (S), ΔfH, ΔfG and NPBS. Ultimately, the theoretical stability order of isomers can be decided judging from the ΔfG value.
