Ab Initio Study on the Isomerization and Dehydrogenation of Methylnitrene

The ab initio calculations were performed at the RHF/4-31G level with the reaction pathways of the iso-merization and dehydrogenation of methylnitrene by the intrinsic reaction coordinate method. The results show that the transformation from methylnitrene to methylenimine would be very easy. This accountes for the experimental fact that one couldn' t find the methylnitrene, but only obtained the methylenimine in the pyrolysis of methyl azide. The mode-selective study reveals the reaction coordinates (IRC) of isomerization and dehydrogenation of methylnitrene are associated with the molecular deformation mode of 1191 cm-1 and the methyl group unsymmetrical stretch mode, respectively. The coupling between normal coordinates is favourable to select the reaction channel of isomerization.

Comprehensive and Accurate Ab Initio Energy Surface of Simple Alanine Peptides

Secondary structures for AcAla_nNH₂ (n=2–4) peptides have been analyzed by means of ab initio MP2, CCSD(T), and DFT‐B3PW91 methods using large basis sets and including implicit hydration effects and thermal corrections. In addition to the classical “pure” right‐handed 3₁₀‐ and α‐helices, left‐handed polyproline II, inverse γ‐turn, and fully extended conformations, a large number of “mixed” structures obtained by combining characteristic φ/ψ angles of each residue in every way have been found. All mixed structures are energetically accessible and can be present at significant levels in aqueous solution. Furthermore, they represent the way through which hierarchical unfolding of 3₁₀‐ and α‐helices or nonhierarchical polyproline II to fully extended transitions occur. Computational results are in qualitative agreement with the large amount of experimental data for simpler polyalanines and provide significant insight into their thermodynamic properties and how these can be modulated by interactions with solvent.

Local Structure of Glassy Lithium Phosphorus Oxynitride Thin Films: A Combined Experimental and Ab Initio Approach

Lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) is an amorphous solid-state lithium ion conductor displaying exemplary cyclability against lithium metal anodes. There is no definitive explanation for this stability due to the limited understanding of the structure of LiPON. Herein, we provide a structural model of RF-sputtered LiPON. Information about the short-range structure results from 1D and 2D solid-state NMR experiments. These results are compared with first principles chemical shielding calculations of Li-P-O/N crystals and ab initio molecular dynamics-generated amorphous LiPON models to unequivocally identify the glassy structure as primarily isolated phosphate monomers with N incorporated in both apical and as bridging sites in phosphate dimers. Structural results suggest LiPON′s stability is a result of its glassy character. Free-standing LiPON films are produced that exhibit a high degree of flexibility, highlighting the unique mechanical properties of glassy materials.     

Ab Initio Theoretical Investigation on the Geometrical and Electronic Structures of AlAun-/0 (n = 2-4) Clusters

A systematic density functional theory and wave function theory investigation on the geometrical and electronic properties of AlAu n 0/-(n=2-4) clusters has been performed in this work. AlAu n-anions prove to possess ground states of the V-shaped C2v AlAu2 - , umbrella-shaped C3v AlAu3- , and perfect tetrahedral T d AlAu4- , while their neutrals favor the V-shaped C2v AlAu2 , perfect planar triangular D3h AlAu3 , and severely distorted C s AlAu4 , respectively. Aluminum aurides appear to be analogous to the corresponding aluminum hydrides, expect C s AlAu4 . Molecular orbitals (MOs) analyses also support this conclusion. Detailed orbital analyses indicate that Au 6s makes 94-96% and Au 5d makes 6-4% contribution to the Au-based orbitals in Al-Au bonds, which is smaller than the BAu n0/- series, partially reflecting the relativistic effect of gold. The one-electron detachment energies of the anions and characteristic stretching vibrational frequencies of Al-Au bonds between 100-400 cm -1 have been calculated to facilitate future experimental characterization of these clusters.

Ab Initio Calculations on the Vinyl Fluoride Fragmentation Reactions

High level ab initio calculations for the fragmentation reactions of vinyl fluoride were performed. The relative energies calculated at the QCISD(T)/6-311G(2d,2p) level of theory, corrected with MP2/6-311G(2d,2p) zero-point energies (ZPEs), differ significantly from those obtained previously at a lower level of theory. The calculations suggest that both the threeand four-center HF elimination processes are likely to occur, with the three-center elimination favored over the four-center at high energies.     

Linear Free‐Energy Relationships between a Single Gas‐Phase Ab Initio Equilibrium Bond Length and Experimental pKa Values in Aqueous Solution

Remarkably simple yet effective linear free energy relationships were discovered between a single ab initio computed bond length in the gas phase and experimental pK_a values in aqueous solution. The formation of these relationships is driven by chemical features such as functional groups, meta/para substitution and tautomerism. The high structural content of the ab initio bond length makes a given data set essentially divide itself into high correlation subsets (HCSs). Surprisingly, all molecules in a given high correlation subset share the same conformation in the gas phase. Here we show that accurate pK_a values can be predicted from such HCSs. This is achieved within an accuracy of 0.2 pK_a units for 5 drug molecules.     

Ab Initio and DFT Studies on the Structure,Infrared Spectrum,and Thermodynamic Properties of Hoechst 33258

Ab initio and DFT(B3LYP) levels of theory, with basis sets of 3–21G, 6–31G*, and LanL2DZ, have been applied to the specific DNA binder Hoechst 33258. All calculations lead to a structure with two benzimidazole groups and one phenyl group being coplanar. Atoms H₃₃ and H₃₇ bear large positive charges, and the distance between the two atoms is about 5 Å, which allows the molecule interacting with the negative sites of neighboring bases in the DNA helix and thus facilitates Hoechst 33258 to gravitate on AT‐rich regions in the minor groove of DNA, owing to the deeper negative potential in such sequences. The most stable conformer corresponds to the dihedral angles of ca. 0° for ?_{1‐2‐14‐15} and ?_{27‐26‐5‐4}, and 180° for ?_{20‐19‐11‐12}. This fact provides clear evidence that Hoechst 33258 has an arc‐like shape with coplanar aromatic rings. Both the HOMO and the LUMO are made up of the P_z orbitals of the non‐hydrogen atoms in two benzimidazole groups and one phenyl group. On going from the ground state to the first singlet excited state, the lengths of the single bonds between the aromatic rings decrease, and the aromatic rings are more conjugated with each other in the excited state. The heat of formation (ΔH_f) of Hoechst 33258, evaluated from the isodesmic reaction, is 406.32 kJ/mol at the B3LYP/6–31G* level.     

Pentacoordinate NiII Complexes: Preparation,Magnetic Measurements,and Ab Initio Calculations of the Magnetic Anisotropy Terms

Two novel mononuclear five‐coordinate nickel complexes with distorted square‐pyramidal geometries are presented. They result from association of a tridentate “half‐unit” ligand and 6,6′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine according to a stepwise process that highlights the advantage of coordination chemistry in isolating an unstable tridentate ligand by nickel chelation. Their zero‐field splittings (ZFS) were studied by means of magnetic data and state‐of‐the‐art ab initio calculations. Good agreement between the experimental and theoretical axial D parameters confirms that large single‐ion nickel anisotropies are accessible. The synthetic process can also yield dinuclear nickel complexes in which the nickel ions are hexacoordinate. This possibility is facilitated by the presence of phenoxo oxygen atoms in the tridentate ligand that can introduce a bridge between the two nickel ions. Two different double bridges are characterized, with the bridging oxygen atoms coming from each nickel ion or from the same nickel ion. This coordination change introduces a difference in the antiferromagnetic interaction parameter J. Although the magnetic data confirm the presence of single‐ion anisotropies in these complexes, these terms cannot be determined in a straightforward way from experiment due to the mismatch between the principal axes of the local anisotropies and the presence of intersite anisotropies.

氧化钼表面不同氧位对氢吸附性能的从头计算研究

 用从头计算Hartree－Fock方法研究了MoO3（010）和（100）晶面上几种结构不等价氧的成键特征和电子结构,并考察了H＋在不同氧位上的吸附性能以及吸附后形成的OH从表面脱附的性质．结果表明,在氧化钼晶体中,钼氧原子间的成键具有离子性和共价性相结合的特性,且几种不等价氧与钼之间的成键性质各不相同：端氧或不对称桥氧与钼的成键具有较强的共价性,而对称桥氧具有较强的离子性;H＋在MoO3（010）和（100）晶面上几种不等价氧位都能形成稳定的吸附,而在端氧位的吸附最稳定;H＋吸附形成的OH都与表面有较强的作用,端氧位的OH最难脱附,而桥氧位的OH在表面的活动性较大,故桥氧位很可能是丙烯选择氧化过程中脱氢反应的活性中心．
