空穴-粒子对称的图形酉群方法在多参考态组态相互作用中的应用

空穴-粒子对称的图形酉群方法(graphic unitary group approach,GUGA)被用于发展高效的多参考态组态相互作用(multi-reference configuration interaction,MRCI)程序.通过将轨道空间划分为双占据轨道、活性轨道和外轨道空间分别处理,耦合系数可以写为三个空间片段因子的乘积.由于仅需搜索和保存活性空间的片段因子,其余两个空间的片段因子可以根据图形类型直接确定,从而避免了部分耦合系数随内空间增大无法保存的难题,使MRCI可被用于超过32个内轨道的计算.空穴一粒子对称允许我们将MRCI的组态空间按照双占据空间空穴数和外空间电子数自然划分为子组态空间,内收缩函数可以分别定义在子组态空间中.在此基础上,我们提出了基于GUGA的内收缩MRCI新方案并程序化.测试表明,未收缩组态空间超过10亿的MRCI已成为可以在普通工作站上完成的常规计算.

定域片断轨道基组的对称化

片断的UHF运算不能保证每个片断轨道具有确切的电子占据数,故Kost定域化是必需的.当片断产生于多键断裂时,在确保目标轨道单占据性的同时,Kost定域破坏了轨道基组的对称性.为此,在Kost定域化后,必须对单占据轨道作2×2对称化旋转后,再作有条件的RHF运算.以乙烯基片断CHCH(波二烯分子中的一个片断)为例,详述了对称化的方法、原理和计算程序.以C-H片断为例,细述三单键片断轨道基组对称化的特殊性.介绍C-HR参考键长选择的判据,探讨键长与选择Gaussian基组大小的关系.

完全活性空间组态相互作用能量的拟合和外推

完全活性空间组态相互作用计算与完全活性空间中的活性电子数和活性轨道数有关,但完全活性空间组态相互作用的能量不是活性电子数和活性轨道数的单调递减函数,因此活性轨道数和活性电子数不能用来外推完全活性空间组态相互作用的能量。为此,我们定义了一个新的变量:活性空间中的最大未占满轨道数。我们对一系列单重态、双重态和三重态分子进行了完全活性空间组态相互作用的计算,并利用活性空间中的活性电子数和最大未占满轨道数这两个变量,对这些基态能量进行了拟合和外推,拟合的均方根误差都在10~(-6)数量级。外推能量的精度优于MP4,对小分子体系,其精度高于CCSD。外推的完全的组态相互作用(FCI)能量值和实际计算的FCI值也很接近。另外,我们还利用外推能量来优化双原子分子的平衡键长,并计算谐振频率,其精度优于CASSCF。

Myers–Saito and Schmittel cyclizations of enyne-(hetero)-1,2,3-trienes: A DFT study on the structure–reactivity relationship

The Myers–Saito (C²–C⁷) cyclization and the alternative Schmittel (C²–C⁶) cyclization of enyne-1,2,3-triene 1R and its hetero analogues 2R–5R were investigated by using pure density functional theory method (BPW91) in connection with the 6-311G(d, p) basis set. It has been shown that heteroatom-containing reactants lower significantly reaction barriers for both cyclization modes and reduce the difference between the barrier of the C²–C⁷ cyclization mode and that of the C²–C⁶ one. The Myers–Saito cyclization of 4R is associated with the smallest reaction barrier and the highest exothermicity. Whereas the Schmittel cyclization of 4R is exothermic, all the others are predicted to be endothermic.     

Structural characterisation of [Pt(NH3)4]2[W(CN)8][NO3]·2H2O donor–acceptor complex

The bimetallic [Pt(NH₃)₄]₂[W(CN)₈][NO₃]·2H₂O is characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction [S.G.P2₁/m(11), a=8.0418(7), b=19.122(2), c=9.0812(6) Å, Z=2]. All platinum centres have the square-plane D_4h geometry with average dimensions Pt(1)–N 2.042(2) and Pt(2)–N 2.037(10) Å. The octacyanotungstate anion has the square-antiprismatic D_4d configuration with average dimensions W(1)–C 2.164(13), C–N 1.140(12), W(1)–N 3.303(5) Å. The structure exhibits two different mutual orientations of Pt versus W units resulting in Pt(2)–W(1), W(1)^* separations of 4.77(2), 4.55(2)^* and Pt(1)–W(1) of 6.331(8) Å. A centrosymmetric structure reveals groups of two distinct columns: the first is formed by intercalated NO₃⁻ between parallel [Pt(1)(NH₃)₄]²⁺ planes and the second consists of [W(CN)₈]³⁻ interlayered by, parallel to square faces of W-antiprisms, [Pt(2)(NH₃)₄]²⁺. The structure is stabilised through a three-dimensional hydrogen bond network via nitrogen atoms of cyanide ligands, hydrogen atoms of NH₃ ligands, water molecules and oxygen atoms of NO₃⁻ counteranions. The vibrational pattern and the range of ν(CN) frequencies attributable to the electronic environment of W(V) and W(IV) are consistent with the ground state Pt(II)↔W(V) charge transfer.     

Piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of new polysiloxane smectic C elastomers

We investigated the pyroelectric and piezoelectric effects of new smectic C^* liquid crystalline elastomers. The materials are made up of a flexible polysiloxane backbone bearing chiral mesogenic side groups and are cross-linked via alkylene chains. The polar structure of the mesophase is evidenced by the observation of piezoelectric and pyroelectric effects. Integration of the pyroelectric coefficient over the whole smectic C^* stability range allows the determination of the spontaneous polarization (P_S = 3–6 nC/cm²). Due to the rubber elasticity, these materials exhibit a high piezoelectric response. The piezosignal at room temperature does not vanish after annealing at temperatures even much higher than the Curie point. The piezoelectric coefficient d₃₁ ranges from 0.5 pC/N for non-poled samples to 2.5 pC/N after application of a poling field.     

THE HABER-WEISS CYCLE

Abstract— The Haber-Weiss cycle:
was investigated at low pH by radiolysis of oxygen or nitrogen saturated solutions of hydrogen peroxide. It was found that reaction 2 has a low rate constant: k ₂= 3.0 ± 0.6 M ^-1 s^-1 (pH 2.3, 22°C). The rate determining step of reaction 2 is most probably the transfer of an electron from a π₈* orbital of HO₂ to the empty _u* orbital of H₂O₂. Overlap between these two orbitals is hindered by the filled π₈* orbitals of H₂O₂. Fe(HI)EDTA catalyses reaction 2.     

Kossel diagrams of blue phases

CB15/E9 mixtures submitted to an electric field exhibit a tetragonal phase BPX, having a D¹⁰₄(I4₁22) symmetry and two hexagonal phases BPH^3d and BPH^2d The Kossel diagram technique allows us (a) to confirm the hexagonal symmetry of BPH^3d and to determine precisely its space group D²₆ (P6₂22) and (b) to study the field-induced phase transitions between BP II, BPX and BPH^3d. We show that the BP II → BPH^3d transition is a continuous deformation involving a dilatation in the field direction and a shear perpendicular to this direction. The BP II → BPX and BPX → BPH^3d transitions are discontinuous.     

Theoretical study of some 1,3-substituted (1,3-diketonato)borondifluorides. Potential energy curve relevant to the barrier crossing reaction

Ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations utilising STO-3G, 3-21G^* and 6-31G^* basis sets have been performed on three neutral and highly polar molecules, (diformylmethine)borondifluoride, (acetylacetonato)borondifluoride and (dibenzylmethine) borondifluoride. The calculated and experimental structures are well correlated when using the HF/3-21G^* basis set, except for the structure parameters involving the boron atom. The HF/6-31G^* basis set does not improve the accuracy in structure calculations. The conformational analysis is in agreement with the experimentally observed C_2v symmetrical structures, where the boron atom is tetrahedrally coordinated. The calculations support a one-dimensional ground state barrier crossing reaction for (dibenzylmethine)borondifluoride, where the phenyl torsion is the most likely reaction coordinate. Both HF/6-31G^* calculations and the second-order Møller-Plesset correction with the 3-21G^* basis set suggest an activation energy of the ground state reaction of about 30 kJ mol⁻¹. The ground state barrier crossing reaction kinetics is evaluated by the Kramers theory. The calculated ground state parameters relevant to the barrier crossing reaction are compared with the experimentally observed excited state values.     

Gas permeation of poly(amide-6-b-ethylene oxide) copolymer

Block copolymers exhibit a different gas permeation behavior from that of homopolymers. In the diffusion process, the fraction of impermeable regions in the block copolymer decreases the diffusivity and the permeability. As the amount of impermeable regions in the block copolymer increases, the flow paths for the gas diffusion are restricted. Poly(amide-6-b-ethylene oxide) (PEBAX^®) copolymer consists of a regular linear chain of rigid polyamide for hard segment interspaced with flexible polyether for soft segment. PEBAX^® copolymer shows a typical permeation behavior of rubbery polymers. The permeability of CO₂ increases with the pressure originating from the increment of the sorbed CO₂ amounts. PEBAX^® copolymer shows the high permeability and the high selectivity for polarizable/nonpolar gas pairs. Particularly, the selectivity of CO₂ over N₂ is 61 and that of SO₂ over N₂ is 500. For small and nonpolar gases (i.e. He, H₂, O₂ and N₂), the permeability decreases with increasing the molecular size or volume of gases. On the other hand, for polarizable and larger gases (i.e. CO₂ and SO₂), it shows the high permeability. The high permeability and permselectivity of PEBAX^® copolymer are attributed of polarizable gases to polyether segment in PEBAX^®.     

Kinetics of depletion of Co(b F) and Co(a F) atoms by O2

The kinetics of depletion of the lowest two electronically excited states, Co(b ⁴F_J) and Co(a ²F_J), upon interactions with O₂ and N₂ are studied in a fast-flow reactor at a He pressure of 0.70 Torr. The depletion of Co(b ⁴F) or Co(a ²F) by O₂ was efficient. The depletion rate constants were observed to be different among spin-orbit levels within one electronic state. Because reactive channels are not energetically accessible for these two states, the depletion was mostly attributed to electronic energy transfer to vibration or translation of O₂. Efficient depletion upon interaction with O₂ was interpreted through the occurrence of an intermediate formed by the interaction between singly occupied anti-bonding π^* orbital of O₂ and 3d orbitals of Co.
