Nonempirical quantum chemical calculation for nitramide,its chloro- and methyl-substituted derivatives. II. Structures and energies of transition states for internal rotation and inversion of the amino group

For five N-nitramines (H₂NNO₂, MeNHNO₂, ClNHNO₂, MeNClNO₂, Me₂NNO₂) using the program GAUSSIAN-90 we have carried out quantum chemical calculations by the restricted Hartree—Fock method, taking into account electron correlation by second-order Møller—Plesset perturbation theory in a standard 6–31G^* basis. In this paper, we consider the transition states for inversion of the amine nitrogen atom and rotation about the NN bond. We have obtained data on the changes in the geometric parameters during inversion and rotation. The changes in the NN bond length are especially significant they increase by 0.06–0.08 Å in the transition states for internal rotation compared with the equilibrium forms. We have calculated the barriers to inversion and internal rotation, the height of which strongly depends on the electronegativity of the substituents on the amine nitrogen atom. Estimates of the barriers to inversion lie within the range 0.4–6.0 kcal/mole while estimates of the barriers to rotation lie within the range 6–13 kcal/mole, which are 1.5–2 times lower than in amides and N-nitrosoamines.Moscow State University.

Structure and molecular polarizability of mesogenic Shiff bases from quantum chemical calculation data

The molecular polarizability of a number of Shiff bases and compounds with similar structures is calculated by B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) (d ⁵) method. The comparison of calculated data with available experimental illustrates the stable correlation between the calculated and experimental polarization tensor components. The calculation results confirm the applicability of the additivity approximation to estimate the polarizability of azomethines with terminal substituents. The relation between the molecular anisotropy of polarizability of azomethines and the temperature of the phase transition nematic-isotropic liquid is examined. Also the effect of acoplanarity degree of azomethines on the molecular polarizability is considered.     

Nitration of benzo[g]isoquinoline and its methyl-substituted derivatives

Di- and trinitro derivatives are formed in the nitration under mild conditions (0–5 °C) of benzo[g]isoquinoline and its analogs with a methyl substituent in the pyridine and phenylene rings. The principal reaction products contain a nitro group in the meso position (attached to the C₅ atom) and in the phenylene ring. The structures of the nitro derivatives obtained and the position of the nitro groups in the molecules were proved by means of the PMR, IR, and mass spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1658–1661, December, 1981.     

Ab initio quantum chemical calculations of enolized and deprotonated forms of Β-diketones and their derivatives

The data of ab initio quantum chemical calculations of Β-diketones and their anions performed in split valence-shell bases are presented. These compounds are of great interest as ligands in numerous chelate complexes. The electronic structures of substituted enolized Β-diketones containing the period III elements S and Cl are compared. It is shown that using the Huzinaga pseudopotential for describing core electronic shells makes it possible to adequately reproduce the main peculiarities of the structure of the outer electronic layers at a qualitative level. The basis used substantial affects on the calculated values of atomic charges, bond orders, and dipole moments, whereas the one-electron energies are less sensitive to the choice of the basis.

Calorimetric investigations of hydrogen bonding in binary mixtures containing pyridine and its methyl-substituted derivatives. I. The dilute solutions of water

Enthalpies of solution of water in pyridine and its methyl derivatives were investigated at T=298.15 K with a titration calorimeter. The effects of solution are exothermic and increase in the following order: pyridine <3-methylpyridine <4-methylpyridine <2-methylpyridine <2,6-dimethylpyridine <2,4,6-trimethylpyridine. As expected, the negative enthalpies of solution are fairly large, especially those for pyridine derivatives with a methyl group in the ortho position, due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between water and amine. Thus, the energy of the N⋯H–O bond, strengthened by the ortho methyl group, overcomes the hindering effect of that group. The experimental results were correlated with the association energies of the 1:1 (water+amine) complexes and with the net charges on the nitrogen atom reported in the literature. Although semi-quantitative agreement between the correlated quantities is fairly good, a simple model based on the hydrogen bond interactions was found to be too simple to account for the measured heat effects.     

Nonempirical calculation of structural,electric and spectral characteristics of diprazine

Kinetics of hydrogen bonds in aqueous solutions of cyclodextrin and its methyl-substituted forms

Molecular dynamics simulations of β-cyclodextrin (BCD) and its two methyl-substituted derivatives, namely, heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DIMEB) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TRIMEB) have been performed in aqueous solutions. Detailed analyses were carried out to investigate the effects of substitution on the kinetics of cyclodextrin-water and water-water hydrogen bonds formed by water present in the hydration layers around these macromolecules as well as those formed by water inside their cavities. It is observed that increased geometrical constraints due to substitution of the OH groups of the glucose rings of the BCD molecule result in rapid establishment of hydrogen bond breaking and reformation equilibria for DIMEB and TRIMEB. This has been found to be the microscopic origin of highly rigid arrangement of water around TRIMEB and inside its cavity, as against water in and around BCD and DIMEB.     

Studies on nitramide and its methyl derivatives with ab initio calculations. IV. The harmonic force field and vibrational spectra of dimethylnitramine and its isotopic derivatives

The complete harmonic vibrational force field of dimethylnitramine has been calculated at the Hartree-Fock level using 4–21G basis set. The harmonic force field was then scaled with scale factors previously derived from N-methylnitramine, and the vibrational spectrum of dimethylnitramine was computed. This a priori prediction, made with no reference to observations on dimethylnitramine, agrees with the experimental IR spectrum in gas phase with a mean deviation of 8.4 cm^?1. Some of the scale factors were reoptimized by fitting of the computed force field to experimental data. The new set of scale factors reduced the mean deviation to 4.5 cm^?1, and was used to predict the vibrational spectrum of deuterated form of dimethylnitramine(-6D). Dipole moment derivatives were also calculated and used to predict infrared intensities which are comparable with experimental values.     

A quantum chemical study of the protonation of phenylphosphine and its halogenated derivatives

The protonation and methylation of phenylphosphine (C(6)H(5)PH(2)) and its mono-halogenated derivatives have been studied using ab initio quantum chemical calculations. Density functional theory (B3LYP) calculations using the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set consistently confirm that protonation of phenylphosphines takes place at the phosphorus atom; the C(4)-protonated phenylphosphine lying about 66 kJ mol(-1) above the P-protonated isomer. Similarly, methylation of phosphines consistently occurs at phosphorus. The proton and methyl cation affinities are estimated as follows: PA(phenylphosphine) = 863 +/- 10 kJ mol(-1) and MCA(phenylphosphine) = 515 -/+ 12 kJ mol(-1). Mono-halogen substitution appears to reduce the proton affinites by up to 20 kJ mol(-1). In this context, following P-protonation of either ameta- or a para-X-C(6)H(4)-PH(2), an elimination of the halogen X-atom under collisional activation (CA) conditions is expected to lead to a distonic radical cation, a low-energy isomer being 50 kJ mol(-1) above ionized phenylphosphine.     

Valency. I. A quantum chemical definition and properties

A quantum chemical definition of the valency of an atom in a molecule is proposed. It is defined as the sum of the squares of the appropriate offdiagonal elements of the first-order density matrix of the system in an orthogonal basis. It is a measure of the degree of electron sharing of the given atom with the other atoms. Its properties such as invariance to rotation of the coordinate system, its limiting values as well as its relation to natural hybrids and bond orbitals are discussed.
