On molecular polarizability: 3. Relationship to the ionization potential of haloalkanes, amines, alcohols, and ethers

The relationship between the ionization potential and the parameters molecular electronegativity and molecular polarizability for haloalkanes, amines, alcohols, and ethers was investigated. There is no good linear correlation between the ionization potential Ip and molecular electronegativity chi(eq) alone for these compounds. Ip can be modeled well with three parameters: chi(eq), polarizability effect index (PEI) of an alkyl group, and atomic polarizability (P). Further, a single expression for predicting the Ip values of aldehydes, esters, nitriles, and carboxylic acids was developed: Ip(Rz)(eV) = Ip(MeZ) + 1.4544delta chi(eq) - 1.6435delta sigmaPEI(Ri). Here Ip(MeZ) is the experimental ionization potential of monosubstituted methane MeZ. Delta chi(eq) and delta sigmaPEI(Ri) are the difference in the molecular electronegativity and the difference in the polarizability effect index of alkyl groups attached to the functional group Z between molecules MeZ and RZ, respectively.     

QSAR of chemical polarizability and nerve toxicity. 2

Polarizability is a property of molecules that has long been of interest to scientists from a variety of viewpoints. However, in the area of the QSAR of chemical-biological interactions, it has received little attention. Recently we have shown that one can use the simple summation of the valence electrons (H = 1, C = 4, O = 6, etc.) in a molecule as a measure of its polarizability. We have found this parameter to correlate nerve toxicity of a wide variety of chemicals acting on nerves of frogs, rabbits, cockroaches, and humans.     

The maximum hardness and minimum polarizability principles in accordance with the Bent rule

Energies, hardness values and polarizabilities for different isomers of SF₄, SF₄O molecules and a family of PCl_xF_5−x, (x=1,2,3,4) compounds are calculated at the density functional level of theory (B3LYP) using different basis sets (6-31G**, 6-311G**, 6-31++G and 6-311++G). For all molecules and in all cases the Bent rule is confirmed with the stability orders, which is obtained from the calculated energies. It is also found that for each molecule the isomer in which the more electronegative atom occupies the axial position has maximum hardness; and therefore according to the Maximum Hardness Principle (MHP), it must be the most stable isomer. This result is consistent with the Bent rule, but for some cases in which there are more than two isomers, the obtained trends for the stability are not in accordance with this rule. On the other hand, since the calculation of dipole polarizability is very sensitive to the quality of the selected basis set, only for those calculations in which diffuse basis sets are used the obtained trends of stability from the Minimum Polarizability Principle (MPP) are the same as those which are predicted from the Bent rule. It seems that when there are more than two isomers for a molecule both the MHP and MPP can only predict the most stable isomer and cannot predict the correct trend for the stability of the isomers.     

Response to: “Comment on ‘The effect of confinement on the electronic energy and polarizability of a hydrogen molecular ion’”

In this reply we clarify questions point out in the Comment on: “The Effect of Confinement on the Electronic Energy and Polarizability of a Hydrogen Molecular Ion” by J. F. da Silva, F. R. Silva and E. Drigo Filho, Int. J. Quantum Chem.2016, 116, 497–503 written by S. A. Cruz and H. Olivares‐Pilón. In particular, we show how we made the calculations of ground state energy from the confined hydrogen molecule ion for cavities of different volumes. The internuclear distances to the excited state 2pσ_u are also presented.     

Infrared dynamic polarizability of HD+ rovibrational states

A calculation of dynamic polarizabilities of rovibrational states with vibrational quantum number v = 0-7 and rotational quantum number J = 0,1 in the 1sσ(g) ground-state potential of HD(+) is presented. Polarizability contributions by transitions involving other 1sσ(g) rovibrational states are explicitly calculated, whereas contributions by electronic transitions are treated quasi-statically and partially derived from existing data [R. E. Moss and L. Valenzano, Mol. Phys., 2002, 100, 1527]. Our model is valid for wavelengths >4 μm and is used to assess level shifts due to the blackbody radiation (BBR) electric field encountered in experimental high-resolution laser spectroscopy of trapped HD(+) ions. Polarizabilities of 1sσ(g) rovibrational states obtained here agree with available existing accurate ab initio results. It is shown that the Stark effect due to BBR is dynamic and cannot be treated quasi-statically, as is often done in the case of atomic ions. Furthermore it is pointed out that the dynamic Stark shifts have tensorial character and depend strongly on the polarization state of the electric field. Numerical results of BBR-induced Stark shifts are presented, showing that Lamb-Dicke spectroscopy of narrow vibrational optical lines (～10 Hz natural linewidth) in HD(+) will become affected by BBR shifts only at the 10(-16) level.     

Role of charge transfer interaction and conjugation length on electrical polarizability of doped trans-polyacetylene oligomers

The effects of charge transfer and molecular chain length on the electrical polarizability of doped trans-polyacetylene oligomers have been investigated using a series of quantum chemical methods ranging from Hartree-Fock to current density functional theory. Polarizability tensors of pristine and metal-doped trans-polyacetylene oligomers have been estimated. The nature of variations of polarizability tensor components are quite different for pristine and doped oligomers. For doped samples, distinct minima in the average static polarizabilities per acetylene unit have been observed. The results suggest that the competitive role of charge-transfer interaction and oligomer chain length are responsible for the observed minima. To simulate the ab initio results on polarizability variation, we propose a mathematical model that describes the minima quite satisfactorily.     

Structural chemistry of polycyclic heteroaromatic compounds. Part XI. Photoelectron spectra and electronic structures of tetracyclic hetarenes of the triphenylene type

The UV photoelectron spectra of several tetracyclic heteroaromatic compounds (2-9) which are pi-isoelectronic with triphenylene (1) have been recorded and analysed making use of semiempirical AM1 and PM3 as well as ab initio/DFT B3LYP calculations. In one series of compounds (2-7), the peripheral benzene rings of 1 are successively substituted by thiophene rings that are either [b]- or [c]-annellated with the central benzene unit. In 2-7 only marginal shifts are found for most of the IPs of electrons. In the benzotrithiophenes 5-7, a systematic variation is displayed by IP(pi7). Compared to 1, the pi electron system of benzo[c]trithiophene (7) is approximately two times as much destabilized as in the isomers 5 and 6 with [b]annellated thiophene rings. The IP[n(S)] values of the thiophene derivatives 2-7 indicate that these orbitals are clearly destabilized relative to thiophene. The same holds for the n(O) orbital of the furane derivative 9 in comparison with that of furane. In 9, only the higher pi MOs (pi7-pi9) are destabilized whereas the lower levels (pi1-pi4) are stabilized, and those in between (pi5-pi6) remain essentially unshifted. In the pyrrole derivative 8, all pi MOs are substantially destabilized by about 0.5-1.6 eV relative to 1.     

Structural chemistry of polycyclic heteroaromatic compounds. Part 13. Photoelectron spectra and electronic structures of tricyclic hetarenes of the anthracene type.

The ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of two tricyclic heteroaromatic compounds (2,3) that are pi-isoelectronic with anthracene (1) have been recorded and analysed making use of semi-empirical AM1 and PM3, as well as density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP calculations. In compounds 2 and 3, one peripheral benzene ring of compound 1 is substituted by a thiophene ring that is either [b]- or [c]-annellated. In compounds 2 and 3, only small shifts are found for most of the ionization potentials of pi electrons. Since the ionization energies of all occupied pi molecular orbitals of compounds 1-3 could be assigned, a direct comparison of their pi electron energy is possible. Compared with compound 1, the pi-electron system of naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene (2) is stabilized by 0.6 eV, while that of naphtho[2,3-c]thiophene (3) is destabilized by 0.2 eV. [b]-Annellation of the thiophene ring is thus favourable while [c]-annellation is unfavourable.     

Luminescence-laser classification of heteroaromatic and aromatic compounds.

The luminescent and laser properties of heteroaromatic and aromatic compounds are reviewed and discussed on the basis of all possible mutual arrangements of singlet and triplet states. All heteroaromatic compounds are divided into five classes. It is shown that a heteroaromatic compound can only be an effective laser dye if it belongs to class V (a situation where the Tnpi* level lies at higher energy than the S1(pipi*) level). Moreover, it is shown that the energy interval between the Tnpi* and S1(pipi*) states must be no less than 1000 cm - since the rate constant of the non-radiative process S1(pipi*)[symbol in text]Tnpi*[symbol in text]T1(pipi*) is usually 100 times greater than the fluorescence rate constant. The classification is extended to compounds with orbitals of pi/,pi*, pi,nupi* and pi/,nupi* nature. Pure aromatic compounds, the spectral-luminescent properties of which are solely determined by transitions of pi-electrons (pi --> pi*), are also divided into five classes, depending on the mutual arrangement of the Sp(1La), Salpha(1Lb), Tp(3La) and Tbeta(3Bb) states. It is found that only aromatic compounds of classes IV and V can be effective scintillators and laser dyes. It is also shown that the energy interval Salpha-Sp (for class IV) and Tbeta-Sp (for class V) must be no less than 1000 cm(-1). To illustrate the classifications for heteroaromatic and aromatic compounds, 12 specifically chosen compounds were studied experimentally and quantum chemically. The quantum yields, gamma and decay times, tauf of fluorescence in aerated and non-deaerated ethanol or cyclohexane solutions were measured. The oscillator strength, f(e), fluorescence rate constant, k(f), natural lifetimes, tauT(0) and intersystem crossing rate constants, kST are calculated. The laser ability of each of the compounds studied is tested. The suggested classification schemes can be extremely useful in the quest for effective scintillators and laser dyes among hypothetical heteroaromatic and aromatic molecules, enabling evaluation of these properties for a particular compound using only quantum chemical simulations.     

Fluorescence on-off switching mechanism of benzofurazans

Many fluorescent reagents with a benzofurazan (2,1,3-benzoxadiazole) skeleton have been developed and widely used in bio-analyses. In this study, we try to elucidate the fluorescence on-off switching mechanism of three fluorogenic reagents and their derivatives. Ten 4,7-disubstituted benzofurazans were used for this purpose and the measurements of their fluorescence, phosphorescence, photolysis, and time-resolved thermal lensing signal in acetonitrile were obtained in order to understand the relaxation processes of these compounds. These results indicate that the competition of fluorescence with a fast intersystem crossing or fast photoreaction plays a key role in the fluorescence on-off switching. Semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations show that the existence of the triplet n pi* state is responsible for the fast intersystem crossing while the proximity of the reactive second single pi pi* state to the first singlet pi pi* state contributes to the fast photoreaction in the excited states.     

In situ monitoring of coordination copolymerization of butadiene and isoprene via ATR-FTIR spectroscopy

<正>FTIR spectroscopy in combination with a diamond tipped attenuated total reflectance(ATR) immersion probe was utilized to study in situ the copolymerization of butadiene(Bd) and isoprene(Ip) with neodymium-based catalyst in hexane. The relationship between the signal intensity of monomer and its concentration was investigated.The kinetic study of copolymerization of Bd and Ip was further conducted,and the monomer reactivity ratios were determined via in situ ATR FTIR.The signal band at 1010 cm~(-1) was assigned to wagging vibration of Bd and its intensity was proportional to Bd concentration([Bd]) in the range of 0.46-3.88 mol·L~(-1).The signal bands at 890 and 989 cm~(-1) were assigned to wagging vibration of Ip and the signal intensity was also proportional to Ip concentration([Ip]) in the range of 0.08-4.73 mol·L~(-1) at 890 cm~(-1) and 0.08-7.49 mol·L~(-1) at 989 cm~(-1),respectively.Thus the signal band at 1010 cm~(-1) was chosen to monitor Bd concentration and bands at 989 and 890 cm~(-1) to monitor Ip concentration during the copolymerization,respectively.It was demonstrated that the conversions of Bd and Ip calculated from FTIR data agreed very well with those obtained gravimetrically.The polymerization rates were first order with respect to both[Bd]and[Ip],respectively at different polymerization temperatures.The apparent propagation activation energy for Bd and Ip could be determined to be 54.4 kJ·mol~(-1) and 57.7 kJ·mol~(-1),respectively.The monomer reactivity ratios were calculated to be 1.08 for Bd(r_(Bd)) and 0.48 for IP(r_(Ip)) based on FTIR data.The Bd-Ip copolymer products with random sequence could be obtained with only one glass transition temperature.
