采用从头算(ab initio)和密度泛函理论(DFT B3LYP)方法。对二(2-苯基-8-羟基喹啉)锌(Zn(qPh)₂)及其衍生物的基态结构进行优化，同时用ab initio HF单激发组态相互作用(CIS)法在6-31G基组上优化其最低激发单重态几何结构，用含时密度泛函理论(TD-DFT/B3LYP)及6-31G基组计算吸收和发射光谱。计算表明，该类物质电子在基态与激发态间的跃迁，主要是电子云分布由定域化向离域化的转变。吸收及发射光谱的计算值与实验值基本符合。该类化合物的电子亲和能较大，都是优良的电子传输材料，改变中心金属原子对配合物光谱性质影响不大。而羟基氧被硫原子取代后，化合物的吸收光谱产生明显红移。     

AB initio study of thermodynamic stability and structure of cage molecules B4N4H8 and Be4O4H8

Stable molecular structures of heterocubane systems B₄N₄H₈ 2 and Be₄O₄H₈, isoelectronic to the cubane molecule, are investigated by ab initio (RHF/6-31G**, MP2(full)/6-31C**, and MP2(full)/6-311+ + G**) methods and are shown to be highly thetmodynamically stable. Decomposition of structure 2 into two 1,3,2,4-diazadiboroethidine molecules 6 or four iminobomne NBNH molecules 11 is an endothermal process taking 10.1 (RHF/6-31G**), 39.6 (MP2(full)/6-31G**) kcaUmole and 140.6 (RHF/6-31G**), 161.4 (MP2(full)/6-31G**) kcal/mole, respectively. Decomposition of structure 3 into two 1,3,2,4-dioxydi-beryllothidine molecules 12 or four molecules 13 is also an endothermal reaction taking 22.1 (RHF/6-31G**), 39.8 (MP2(full)/6-31G**) kcal/mole and 127.1 (RHF/6-31G**), 155.2 (MP2(full)/631G**) kcal/mole, respectively. The geometrical characteristics of simple molecules BeH₂ 15, Be₂ 16 and 17, Be₂H₂ 18, Be₂H₄ 19, BeO 20, and Be₂O₂ 21 are calculated.

Theoretical refinements of theendo and theexo structures of tetraborane(8) carbonyl

The molecular structures of theendo (1a) andexo (1b) isomers of B₄H₈CO have been optimized at the ab initio MP2(Full)/6-31G^* level of theory. The agreement of the computed geometrical parameters with the recently published electron-diffraction (GED) data is very good, even though a number of geometrical constraints were applied in the experimental determination. The IGLO (individual gauge for localized orbitals)¹¹B NMR chemical shifts, calculated at the II//MP2/6-31G^* level, are also in accord with experiment. The formation of1a and1b by association of B₄H₈ and CO is computed to be exothermic by 22.8 and 22.2 kcal/mol, respectively, at the MP2(Full)/6-31G^*//MP2(Full)/6-31G^* + ZPE(6-31G^*) level of theory. The Lewis acid strength of B₄H₈ toward CO is comparable to that of BH₃.     

Quantum chemical study of silicon pentacoordination in (Aroyloxymethyl)trifluorosilanes and their analogs

Pentacoordinated silicon compounds of the series 4-XC₆H₄C(O)O(CH₂)_mSi(CH₃)_3-nF_n (m = 1, 2; n= 1,2,3) with an intramolecular 0→Si bond are studied by ab initia and semiempirical (AMI) quantum chemical methods. The results are compared with published experimental data. The C₆H₅C(O)OCH₂SiF₃ molecule is calculated in an RHF approximation using the 6–31G*basis set. The total energy of the molecule for its geometry optimization is calculated by the MP2 method including electron correlation. This leads to considerably improved agreement between the calculated coordination energy (25.3 kJ/mole) and the experimental value (28.5 kJ/mole). The geometry and the dipole moment calculated by both ab initio (HF/6-31G*//HF/6-31G*, MP2/6-31G*//MP2/6-31G*) methods and by the AMI method are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.     

Conformational features of Cl3P=NC(CF3)3 and Cl3P=NCCl(CCl3)2 molecules according to results of non-empirical calculations

Non-empirical RHF/6-31G* and MP2/6-31G* quantum chemical methods are used to calculate the molecular structure of trichlorophosphazene compounds: Cl₃P=NC(CF₃)₃ (I) and Cl₃P=NCCl(CCl₃)₂ (II). The corresponding geometric parameters obtained from the calculations are compared with X-ray diffraction analysis data reported in the literature. Conformational differences between the molecules of I and II, previously found by X-ray diffraction in the crystals of these compounds, are confirmed by non-empirical calculations of the molecules in the free state. The features of their geometry caused by intramolecular interactions are discussed.     

The calculated structures of the C4H8NO+ cations resulting from the unimolecular gas-phase dissociation (CH3)2NCOCH2X·+ → C4H8NO+ + X· (X  CL,NO2)

The structures and rearrangements of various cyclic and acyclic C₄H₈NO⁺ cations resulting from the title reaction have been investigated by means of semiempirical (MNDO ) and ab initio (4-31G ) calculations.     

Synthesis of (+)-(4S, 8R)hyphen;8hyphen;Epi- and (−)-(4R, 8S)-4-Epi-β-bisabolol

The first total enantioselective synthesis of (+)-(4S, 8R)-8-epi-β-bisabolol(+)- 1 and of (?)-(4R, 8 S )-4-epi-β-bisabolol ((?))? 1 ) is reported. The key step in the synthesis is the kinetic resolution of (±)? 5 by means of the Sharpless epoxidation yielding (?)- and (+}? 6 , respectively. Reduction of the epoxides with LiAlH₄ gave the diols (+)-and(?)? 7 which were transformed into (+)- and (?)? 8 , respectively, via the corresponding mesylate. Reaction of these epoxides with the Grignard reagent derived from homoprenylbromide, assisted by Li₂CuCl₄, finished the synthesis of the target compounds 1 with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity.     

Two 5-tetrazolylazo-8-hydroxyquinoline-based Zn(II) and Mn(II) complexes: syntheses,structures and optical properties

Two 5-tetrazolylazo-8-hydroxyquinoline (TTHQ) Zn²⁺ and Mn²⁺ complexes, [Zn(TTHQ)(en)]·2H₂O (en = ethylenediamine) (1) and [Mn₂(TTHQ)₂(H₂O)₆]·2H₂O (2), were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Stacking (π–π) and hydrogen-bonding interactions are responsible for the stabilization of the supramolecular structures. UV–vis spectral changes and photoluminescent properties of TTHQ, 1 and 2 were investigated and a red emission was found. The hydrogen-bonding interaction energies in 1 and 2 were calculated using density functional theory at the WB97XD/6-31++G level.     

Ab initio studies of F−(H2O)n and Cl−(H2O)n clusters for n = 1, 2

Ab initio Hartree–Fock calculations are performed on hydrates of the F^? and Cl^? ions using 6-31G, 6-31G**, and 6-21G basis sets. Geometries and binding energies are obtained. An estimate of the correlation energy is provided by an MP2/6-31G (Møller-Plesset second-order perturbation) calculation. Comparisons are made between the Cl^?(SO₂) and the Cl^?(H₂O) complexes.     

Hydrogen Bonds in 2-(Diorganylphosphorylhydroxymethyl)-1-organylimidazoles

Structures of 2-(diorganylphosphorylhydroxymethyl)-1-organylimidazoles were studied by IR and ¹H and ^{3 1}P NMR spectroscopy, and also by ab initio calculations (HF/6-31G*). Formation of intramolecular O-H+++O = P hydrogen bonds in solutions of these compounds in CCl₄ and CHCl₃ was established.     

Multiple Pentafluorophenylation of 2,2,3,3,5,6,6‐Heptafluoro‐3,6‐dihydro‐2H‐1,4‐oxazine with an Organosilicon Reagent: NMR and DFT Structural Analysis of Oligo(perfluoroaryl) Compounds

The reagent Me₃Si(C₆F₅) was used for the preparation of a series of perfluorinated, pentafluorophenyl‐substituted 3,6‐dihydro‐2H‐1,4‐oxazines ( 2 – 8 ), which, otherwise, would be very difficult to synthesize. Multiple pentafluorophenylation occurred not only on the heterocyclic ring of the starting compound 1 (Scheme), but also in para position of the introduced C₆F₅ substituent(s) leading to compounds with one to three nonafluorobiphenyl (C₁₂F₉) substituents. While the tris(pentafluorophenyl)‐substituted compound 3 could be isolated as the sole product by stoichiometric control of the reagent, the higher‐substituted compounds 5 – 8 could only be obtained as mixtures. The structures of the oligo(perfluoroaryl) compounds were confirmed by ¹⁹F‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, MS, and/or X‐ray crystallography. DFT simulations of the ¹⁹F‐ and ¹³C‐NMR chemical shifts were performed at the B3LYP‐GIAO/6‐31++G(d,p) level for geometries optimized by the B3LYP/6‐31G(d) level, a technique that proved to be very useful to accomplish full NMR assignment of these complex products.     

Ab initio quantum-chemical calculations of interactions of ions and hydrides of alkali metals with C3H6 and C4H8 molecules

Calculations of the C₃H₆ · LiH, C₄H₈ · M⁺, and C₄H₈ · MH systems and of C₂H₂ · MH complexes (M = Li or Na) were carried out by the unrestricted Hartree-Fock-Roothaan (UHF) method with partial optimization of the geometry using fixed geometric parameters of the C₃H₆ and C₄H₈ molecules. The standard 3-21G and 6-31G* basis sets were used. Unlike the C₃H₆ · LiH structure, the C₄H₈ · M⁺ and C₄H₈ · MH systems are typical complexes. It was found that the C₄H₈ · M⁺, C₄H₈ · MH, and C₂H₂ · MH complexes are similar in coordination of M⁺ ions and MH molecules by carbon atoms in spite of considerable differences in the interatomic distances (–1 A) between these atoms in the C₄H₈ and C₂H₂ molecules. The heats of formation (Q), which were calculated in the UHF/6-31G* approximation and using second- and fourth-order Möller-Plesset perturbation theory taking into account the electron correlation energy in the MP2/6-31G*. MP4(SDQ)/6-31G*, and MP4(SDTQ)/6-31G* approximations, satisfy the following relationships: Q(C₂H₃ · MH) < Q(C₄H₈ · MH) < Q(C₄H₈ · M⁺). It was observed that in going from Li to Na the corresponding values of Q tend to decrease.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya. No. 7, pp. 1636–1640, July, 1996.     

An Ab Initio Study and NBO Analysis of the Stability and Conformational Properties of Hexakis(trimethylelementhyl)benzene (Element = C,Si, Ge,and Sn)

Ab initio molecular orbital and density functional theory were used to investigate energetic and structural properties of the various conformations of hexa-tertbutylbenzene (1), hexakis(trimethylsilyl)benzene (2), hexakis (trimethylgermyl)benzene (3), and hexakis(trimethylstannyl)benzene (4). HF/3-21G//HF/3-21G and B3LYP/3-21G//HF/3-21G results revealed that the Twist-Boat (TB) conformer of compound 1 is more stable than the 1-Chair (C), 1-Boat (B), and 1-Planar (P) conformers. B3LYP/3-21G//HF/3-21G results show that the 1- TB conformer is more stable than 1- C, 1- B, and 1- P conformers of about 1.13, 4.34, and 99.94 kcal mol^?1 , respectively. Contrary to the stability order of compound 1 conformers, the C conformer of compounds 2–4 is more stable than TB, B, and P conformations, as calculated by B3LYP/3-21G//HF/3-21G and HF/3-21G//HF/3-21G levels of theory. The energy gap between the C and P conformers in compounds 1–4 is decreased in the following order: ΔE(4: C, P) < ΔE (3: C, P) < ΔE(2: C, P) < ΔE (1: C, P). This fact can be explained in terms of the increase of C _aromatic -M (M═C, Si, Ge, and Sn) bond lengths and the decrease of steric (van der Waals) repulsions in the previously discussed compounds. For compounds 1–3, the calculations were also performed at the B3LYP/ 6-31G*//HF/3-21G level of theory. However, the comparison showed that the results at B3LYP/3-21G//HF/3-21G methods correlated well with those obtained at the B3LYP/6-31G*// HF/6-31G method. Further, NBO analysis revealed that in compounds 1–4, the resonance energy associated with the σ_M-C1 to σ*_C2-C3 delocalization is 5.20, 9.68, 11.15, and 12.27 kcal mol^?1, respectively. These resonance energy values could explain the easiness of the ring flipping processes of C, B, and TB conformers of compounds 4 to 1. Also, the NBO results showed that by an increase of the σ_M-C1 → σ *_C2-C3 resonance energies in compounds 1–4, the σ_M-C1 bonding orbital occupancies decrease. This fact could fairly explain the increase of the C_aryl-M bond length from compound 1 to 4. The NBO results are also in good agreement with the calculated energy barriers for the ring flipping of the chair conformations in compounds 1–4, as calculated by B3LYP and HF methods.     

Synthesis of (-)-11 Hydroxy-delta8-6a, 10a-trans-tetrahydrocannabinol

When (?)-Δ⁸-6a, 10a-trans-THC (THC = Tetrahydrocannabinol), in the form of its diacetate, was irradiated in the presence of oxygen and a sensitizer, followed by reduction with NaBH₄, three allylic alcohols were formed: (?)-8α-and (?)-8β-hydroxy-Δ^9,11-THC (proportion 3:1) and (?)-9α-hydroxy-Δ^7,8-THC. Acetylation of the epimeric 8-hydroxy-compounds with Ac₂O/pyridine gave the corresponding diacetates. When (?)-Δ⁸-6a, 10a-trans-THC, in the form of its tetrahydropyranyl derivative, was heated with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, the two epimeric 8,9-epoxides were formed in equal amounts. These compounds, on treatment with butyllithium, afforded (?)-8α- and (?)-8β-hydroxy-Δ^9,11- 6a, 10a-trans-THC-tetrahydropyranylether. After removing the protecting group and treatment with Ac₂O/pyridine the same diacetates, as formed by photooxygenation of (?)-Δ⁸-THC-acetate, were obtained as a 1:1-mixture. On heating these epimeric diacetates to 290° they underwent allylic rearrangement to (?)-11-acetoxy-Δ⁸-THC-acetate. From this (?)-11-hydroxy-Δ⁸-6a, 10a-trans-THC was obtained by treatment with LiAlH₄.     

Structure and electronic properties of tris(4-hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridinato) aluminum (AlND3) and its methyl derivatives: a theoretical study

Molecular structures of the ground state (S₀) of tris(4-hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridinato) aluminum (AlND3) and its methyl derivatives have been optimized using B3LYP/6-31G(D) and the first singlet excited state (S₁) using CIS/6-31G(D) method, respectively. The frontier molecular orbitals characteristics of these Al-complexes have been analyzed systematically in order to understand the electronic transitions. It is seen from these results that in all these complexes, like in earlier reported mer-Alq3, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is localized on the pyridine-4-ol ring of A-ligand while lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is on the pyridyl ring of B-ligand for S₀ states irrespective of the methyl substitution present on the ligands. The absorption and emission wavelengths have been evaluated at the TD-PBE0/6-31G(D) level and found to be comparable with the experiment. The charge transfer integrals have been calculated for AlND3, and results reveals that electron transport is larger than hole transport. The reorganization energies have been calculated at B3LYP/6-31G(D) level for these complexes, and the results show that the charge mobilities of these complexes are comparable with mer-Alq3.     

Ab initio study of possible intermediates in the no(4Π) catalyzed geometric isomerizations of olefins

The geometries of acyclic and three-membered ring (nitroxide) H₄C₂NO radicals in their ground ²Π electronic states have been optimized completely at ab initio UHF and ROHF theoretical levels with the STO-3G and the 6-31G** basis sets. The optimizations favour the cyclic nitroxide structure energetically. However ΔE(acyclic - cyclic) at the UHF and ROHF/6-31G** levels are only 3.2 and 1.9 kcal mol^-1, respectively. Incomplete MP2/6-311G** optimizations support these results. The zero-point energy computed at the ROHF/6-31G** level for the nitroxide radical is 2.5 kcal mol^-1 higher than that for the acyclic structure, thus reversing the relative energies by 0.6 kcal mol^-1. The energies of the two radical structures, relative to the sum of those for ethylene and NO, are very close to literature values of the activation energies for the thermal, NO catalyzed geometrical isomerizations of olefins. Thus cyclic nitroxide intermediates may play a role not only in the Hg 6(³P₁) photosensitized, but also in the thermal, NO-catalyzed geometric isomerizations of olefins. Paper dedicated to Professor Otto P. Strausz; presented in part at the 75th Canadian Chemical Congress and Exhibition, Edmonton, May 31 – June 4, 1992.     

Theoretical study of [Li(H2O)n]+ and [K(H2O)n]+ (n = 1−4) complexes

The geometries, successive binding energies, vibrational frequencies, and infrared intensities are calculated for the [Li(H₂O)_n]⁺ and [K(H₂O)_n]⁺ (n = 1?4) complexes. The basis sets used are 6-31G* and LANL 1DZ (Los Alamos ECP +DZ ) at the SCF and MP 2 levels. There is an agreement for calculated structures and frequencies between the MP 2/6-31G* and MP 2/LANL 1DZ basis sets, which indicates that the latter can be used for calculations of water complexes with heavier ions. Our results are in a reasonable agreement with available experimental data and facilitate experimental study of these complexes. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
