Charge control in the formation of complexes of phenol with unsaturated compounds containing organometallic substituents from group IV

The resonance donor effect of the , conjugation of R₃M and R₃MCH₂ (M = Si, Ge, Sn; R is an alklyl group) substituents with the triple bond in compounds R₃MC=CX and R₃MCH₂CCX (X = H, R) changes on passing from isolated molecules to their H-complexes. A partial ⁺ charge on the triple bond enhances , conjugation; a partial ^– charge on the triple bond has practically no effect on the resonance properties of R₃M substituents, whereas the , conjugation of R₃MCH₂ substituents diminishes owing to the effect of negative direct resonance interaction. The effect of , conjugation on the effective negative charges of the carbon atoms in the -CC- fragments was estimated quantitatively.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Correlation of the molecular orbitals of organic sulfides (selenides) and five-membered heterocyclic compounds by photoelectron spectroscopy

The structure and the correlation of the molecular orbitals were studied for divinyl chalcogenides and the isoelectronic five-membered heterocyclic compounds by photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). It was shown that the two frontier orbitals are inverted in the transition from divinyl sulfide to thiophene, while the heterocyclization of divinyl selenide is accompanied by quasidegeneration. According to PES, the orbital structure of the alkyl vinyl chalcogenides does not depend on the nature of the heteroatom (S, Se) or on the structure of the alkyl radical: ₂ < ₁ < ₂ < ₂. Linear correlations were obtained between the energies of the ₁ and ₂ MOs of the investigated groups of compounds, i.e., one for the vinyl Sulfides (selenides) and thiophenes (selenophenes) and another for the saturated derivatives of sulfur and selenium. The correlations in the compounds of the various chalcogens do not coincide, although they are similar.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2317–2324, October, 1991.     

Configuration mixing involving σ and π orbitals

The effect (on the energy of the different states) of including doubly excited configurations in a - plus -configuration interaction treatment, is studied within the CNDO/2 framework. For moderately large molecules the problem of the choice of the type ( or ) of configurations taken into account is examined. When possible, comparison is made with similar non empirical calculations.

On the importance of scale and polarization of the atomic orbital basis for LCAO calculations of electronic intensities

The importance of scale and polarization of the atomic basis set for LCAO calculations of the intensities of electronic transitions is investigated using the molecular hydrogen ion, H ₂ ⁺ , as a model. The transitions under consideration are the 1 _g–1 _u the 1 _u–1 _g and the 1 _g–1_uit excitations of this ion, and the electric dipole transition moments are calculated for a range of nuclear separations using the dipole length, the dipole velocity, the dipole acceleration and the time-derivative of the dipole acceleration formulations. For the 1 _g–1 _u and the 1 _u–1 _g excitations scaling and/or polarization are found very efficient for the improvement of the calculated transition moments for small internuclear separations for all the dipole formulations, whereas only the dipole length and the dipole velocity results are well-behaved for large separations. For the 1 _g–1 _u excitation scaling is found to be more important than polarization for all internuclear separations.

Zusammenfassung Die Bedeutung der Skalierung und der Polarisation atomarer Basisfunktionen für LCAO-Berechnungen der Intensitäten elektronischer Übergänge wird am Wasserstoffmolekülion, H ₂ ⁺ , als Modell untersucht. Die betrachteten Übergänge sind der 1 _g–1 _u der 1 _u–1 _g und der 1 _g –;1 _u-Übergang dieses Ions. Die zugehörigen Dipolübergangsmomente werden für eine Reihe von Kernabständen berechnet, wobei die Dipollänge, die Dipolgeschwindigkeit, die Dipolbeschleunigung und die zeitliche Ableitung der Dipolbeschleunigung zu Grunde gelegt werden. Für die 1 _g–1 _u und die 1 _u–1 _g-Anregung findet man, daß Skalierung und/oder Polarisation sehr wirksam für eine Verbesserung der berechneten Übergangsmomente bei kleinen Kernabständen sind. Dies gilt für alle Dipolformulierungen, während sich für große Kernabstände nur die Dipollänge und die Dipolgeschwindigkeit richtig verhalten. Für den 1 _g–1 _u-Übergang ist die Skalierung bei allen Kernabständen wichtiger als die Polarisation.

Résumé Etude de l'influence de l'échelle et de la polarisation de la base atomique sur les calculs LCAO des intensités des transitions électroniques, en utilisant l'ion moléculaire H ₂ ⁺ comme modèle. On considère les transitions 1 _g–1 _u,1 _u–1 _get 1 _g–1 _u; les moments dipolaires de transition sont calculés pour un éventail de séparations nucléaires en utilisant les différentes formulations: longueur dipolaire, vitesse dipolaire, accélération dipolaire et dérivée par rapport au temps de l'accélération dipolaire. Pour les excitations 1 _g–1 _u-et 1 _u–1 _gles facteurs précités ont une grande importance pour l'amélioration des moments de transition calculés à faible séparation nucléaire dans toutes les formulations, alors qu'à grande séparation nucléaire seules la longueur et la vitesse donnent des résultats convenables. Pour l'excitation 1 _g–1 _ul'échelle est un facteur plus important que la polarisation à toutes distances internucléaires.

Interpretation of AC Conductivity of Lightly Doped Conducting Polymers in Terms of Hopping Conduction

The ac conduction of most disordered materials shows a regime of constant dc conductivity (0) at low frequencies and a crossover to a frequency-dependent regime of the type A ^s at high frequencies. We discuss the physical origin of this behavior and the interpretation of the onset frequency of excess ac conduction, _c , in terms of models for hopping conduction of polaronic carriers in a disordered medium. We emphasize the central role of the critical hopping rate in the percolation lattice for determining both (0) and _c . We show the behavior of () for lightly doped polypyrrole samples at different stages of doping, and we discuss the significance of frequency dispersion effects for electrochemical measurements.

Zur Elektronenstruktur von Cyclohexa-2,4-dienonen

Zusammenfassung Die Elektronenstruktur von 29 Cyclohexa-2,4-dienonsystemen wurde mit Hilfe einfacher LCAO-MO-Methoden — HMO-Methode und erweiterte HMO-Methode nachHoffmann — berechnet. Neben den Substituenten am -Elektronensystem des Ringes besitzen auch die Reste am sp³-hybridisierten C-Atom des Ringes beachtlichen Einfluß auf die Elektronenverteilung. Die Rechenergebnisse werden mit der Reaktivität von Cyclohexa-2,4-dienonen gegenüber nukleophilen Partikeln verglichen. Hier wird erst bei Berücksichtigung der -Elektronen eine zufriedenstellende Übereinstimmung mit den experimentellen Befunden erzielt.

Simple LCAO-MO methods, i.e. the HMO method and the extended HMO method according toHoffmann were used to calculate the electronic structures of 29 cyclohexa-2,4-dienone systems. Substituents of the ring -electron system as well as those of the sp³-hybridized ring carbon atom exert considerable influence on the electron distribution. A comparison of calculated results with the reactivity of cyclohexa-2,4-dienones towards nucleophiles is made. Satisfactory agreement with experimental findings can only be achieved when -electrons are considered.

Sigma-polarization in 5-membered heterocyclic ring systems

Extended Hückel calculations on the 5-membered heterocyclic molecules furan, pyrrole, imidazole, pyrazole, 1,2,3-triazole, and the four possible oxadiazoles suggest a significant polarization of the -framework. This -polarization appears to follow simple electronegativity considerations. The calculated -polarizations are independent of, and may be opposed to, the corresponding -polarizations. For furan and pyrrole the above results reproduce the different direction of the experimental dipole moments of these two molecules. A good correlation is observed between the total (+) calculated electron densities and the experimental proton and carbon-13 chemical shifts in all of the systems studied.

Zusammenfassung Rechnungen mit der erweiterten Hückel-Methode über die Fünferheterozyklen Furan, Pyrrol, Imidazol, Pyrazol, 1,2,3-Triazol und die vier möglichen Oxadiazole lassen eine beträchtliche Polarisation des -Gerüsts vermuten. Die -Polarisation scheint einfachen Elektronegativitätsbetrachtungen zu folgen. Die -Polarisation ist unabhängig von der entsprechenden -Polarisation und kann entgegengesetzt gerichtet sein. Für Furan und Pyrrol reproduzieren die oben genannten Ergebnisse die verschiedenen Richtungen der experimentellen Dipolmomente beider Moleküle. Eine gute Korrelation wird zwischen der gesamten ( +)-Elektronendichte und der experimentellen chemischen Verschiebung für Protonen und C¹³ in allen Systemen beobachtet.

Résumé Des calculs par la méthode de Hückel étendue portant sur les molécules à cycle pentagonaux: furane, pyrrole, imidazole, 1,2,3 triazole et les quatre oxadiazoles, suggèrent l'existence d'une polarisation significative du squelette . Cette polarisation apparaît en accord avec de simples considérations d'électronégativité. Les polarisations calculées sont indépendantes des polarisations correspondantes et peuvent leur être contraires. Pour le furane et le pyrrole les résultats ci-dessus reproduisent les directions différentes des moments dipolaires expérie mentaux des deux molécules. On observe une bonne corrélation entre les densités totales (+) calculées et les déplacements chimiques expérimentaux du proton et du carbone 13 dans tous les systèmes étudiés.

Configuration mixing involving σ and π orbitals

Second order perturbation theory is used to calculate the energy lowering due to all and double excitations on the ground state, and of all and double and triple excitations on the first excited singlets. The values obtained are compared to previous results coming from configuration interaction calculations including all single and some double excitations. The computations are carried out on CNDO/2 and Del Bene-Jaffé wavefunctions.

The electronic structure of molecules by a many-body approach

The vertical valence ionization potentials of cyclopropane, ethylene oxide and ethylene imine are calculated by a many-body Green's function method. For C₃H₆ the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2e(), 1e(), 2a₁(), 1a₂(), 1e(). The assignment of the 2a₁ and the 1a₂ ionization potentials which has been controversial is thus clarified. The ordering is in agreement with the result obtained via Koopmans' theorem. For ethylene oxide and ethylene imine Koopmans' theorem fails in predicting the correct order of ionic states. For C₂H₄O the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2b ₁(), 4a ₁, 1a ₂(), 2b ₂,3a ₁, 1b ₁(), 1b ₂, 2a ₁ and for C₂H₅N 6a, 5a, 3a, 2a, 4a, 3a, 1a, 2a. The agreement of the computed ionization potentials with the experimental values is very satisfactory.

The calculated and experimental data are compared.     

Excited Π states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes

Electron transitions in divinyl chalcogenides (CH₂=CHXCH=CH₂, where X is S, Se, or Te) have been analyzed using UV absorption spectra of dialkyl and alkyl vinyl chalcogenides. The following relations for the orbital energies are found: ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for Te and ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for S and Se. For chalcophenes, a correlation between the energy of the excited state (E ^*) of specific symmetry, the ionization potential (I) and the electron affinity (EA) is obtained:E ^*=const+(I+EA)/2. The electron affinity of divinyl chalcogenides is estimated. The correlation between the excited ^* states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 831–835, May, 1994.     

Determination of reactivity constants of 5-substituted 2-indolyl groups by means of13C NMR

Relationships have been found for the estimation of the constants of any 5-substituted 2-indolyl group.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 312–315, February, 1985.     

Structure and UV spectra of aliphatic-aromatic phosphines

The basicities of 10 tertiary phosphines were determined. Equations were derived to relate pK_a(H₂O) for these phosphines to the sum of the Kabachnik _ph-constants and pK_a(H₂O) for aryldiethylphosphines to the Hammett _n-constants. Analysis of these equations leads to the conclusion that in the ground state the unshared pair of electrons of the trivalent phosphorus is not conjugated with the -electron system of the aryl group.The bands in the UV spectra of the aryldiethylphosphines were assigned on the basis of this fact. The most intense absorption in the spectra of the phosphines (K-band) is due to the 'A_1g 'B_1u transition of the -electrons. The B-band, which is produced by the 'A_1g 'B_2u transition, only appears in the spectra of phosphine oxides; in the case of the phosphines it is obscured by the stronger R-band, which arises from the n -transition of the unshared electrons of phosphorus.     

An extension of the CNDO/2 formalism for the study of transition metal complexes

The electronic structure and the conformational analysis of some Ni(PX₃)₄ (X = F, OCH₃, Cl, CH₃, H) complexes are investigated within the framework of the previously described extended CNDO/2 method in order to interpret their magneto-optical behaviour and to propose a suitable scheme for the electronic content of a metal-ligand ( + ) dative bond. Chatt and Wilkinson's pattern, used up to now, is criticized and a new scheme is proposed which — taking accurately the role of electronegativity into account and abiding by Pauling's principle of electroneutrality — fits well the sets of available physico-chemical data and allows us to understand whyab initio bonds overlap populations as well as IR force constants are low for any metal-ligand ( + ) dative bond.     

Binding/antibinding analyses for diatomic interactions. the HeH2= system

On the basis of the Berlin diagram, the region-functional contribution of the electron density has been quantitatively examined for the Is, 2p, and 2p states of HeH²⁺ system. The binding and antibinding contributions and the dynamic behaviours of the electron density during the interaction processes are discussed in comparison with the previous results for homonuclear H ₂ ⁺ system. The effect of coordinate-dependence of the Berlin diagram on the regional partitioning has also been studied.     

Ab initio SCF and CI study of the electronic spectrum of pyridine N-oxide

Configuration interaction (CI) studies of ground, n *, * * electronically excited states are reported for pyridine N-oxide. The transition energy to the lowest * excited ¹ B ₂ state is calculated at 4.35 eV, compared to the experimental spectrum range of 3.67–4.0 eV. This state lies below the lowest n * excited ¹ A ₂ state calculated at 4.81 eV above the ground state. The only experimentally reported triplet state at 2.92 eV above the ground state is predicted to be the ³ A ₁ (*) state. The calculated energy lies at 3.27 eV. Numerous other high-lying singlet states as well as the triplet states have also been calculated. The intramolecular charge transfer character of the ground and the excited states have been studied in terms of the calculated dipole moment and other physical properties.
