2, 5-二氟苯酚分子之旋转异构物的质量分辨阈值电离光谱

利用共振双光子电离(R²PI)技术和质量分辨阈值电离(MATI)技术来研究2, 5-二氟苯酚分子。实验所测得的顺式、反式2, 5-二氟苯酚分子电子激发能E₁分别为36448和36743 cm^-1,绝热电离能分别为71164和71476 cm^-1。这两个顺反转动同素异构分子在电子激发S₁态与离子D₀态活性振动主要是由于面内环变形和与取代基相关的弯曲振动。分析2, 5-二氟苯酚分子的振动光谱、D₀态离子光谱以及理论计算均表明这两个转动异构体在D₀态的几何构型与S₁态的中性几何构型相当相似。     

Photochemical E/Z isomerization of aryl-substituted methanimines. AM1-CI potential energy curves along the CN double bond twisting and the N atom in-plane inversion

Potential energy curves of aryl-substituted methanimines along the C = N bond twisting and the in-plane inversion of the N atom were obtained by AM1-SDCI calculations, and the photochemical E/Z isomerization paths were elucidated. An aromatic group introduced at the C atom of the C = N group has little effect on the S₀ surface for the inversion and rotation paths, while it has a significant effect on the shape of the T₁ curve along the rotation path. It is suggested that phenylmethanimine and 2-anthrylmethanimine undergo photoisomerization by the rotation mechanism. The methoxy group introduced at the N atom raises the inversion barrier on the S₀ state, while it lowers the 90°-twistedT₁ energy. TheT₁ potential energy curves of N-methoxy-1-phenylethanimine and N-methoxy-1-(2-anthryl)ethanimine indicate that the former undergoes a two-way isomerization and the latter a one-way isomerization by the rotation mechanism, which is in accordance with experiment.     

邻二氯苯激发态动力学

利用飞秒分辨的激光泵浦-探测技术结合飞行时间质谱和光电子速度成像方法研究了邻二氯苯第一电子单重激发态(S₁)的超快动力学.邻二氯苯的S₁态振动基态寿命为(651 ± 10) ps,对应于S₁振动基态向三重态的系间窜越过程.邻二氯苯S₁的高振动激发9a₂18a₂对应两个衰减通道,其中寿命为(458 ± 12) fs的超快过程对应于由处于振动激发的S₁向高振动激发的基态(S₀)发生的内转换过程,而寿命为(90 ± 10) ps过程则对应由S₁态向三重态(T₁)的系间窜越过程,电离产生的光电子能谱中长寿命的谱峰可能与系间窜越过程有关. S₁态高振动态的旋轨耦合程度比低振动态的更强,导致系间窜越过程更快.     

Synthesis and thermodynamic properties of a metal-organic framework: [LaCu6(μ-OH)3(Gly)6im6](ClO4)6

A metal-organic complex, which has the potential property of absorbing gases, [LaCu₆(μ-OH)₃(Gly)₆im₆](ClO₄)₆ was synthesized through the self-assembly of La³⁺, Cu²⁺, glycine (Gly) and imidazole (Im) in aqueous solution and characterized by IR, element analysis and powder XRD. The molar heat capacity, C_p,m, was measured from T = 80 to 390 K with an automated adiabatic calorimeter. The thermodynamic functions [H_T − H_298.15] and [S_T − S_298.15] were derived from the heat capacity data with temperature interval of 5 K. The thermal stability of the complex was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

飞秒时间分辨的光电子谱对苯S2态的超快动力学研究

结合飞秒时间分辨的质谱技术与时间分辨的光电子影像技术对苯S₂激发态的超快动力学进行了研究.苯分子吸收两个400 nm的光子被激发到S₂态,之后再用一个267 nm的光子对其进行探测.获得的母体离子产率随泵浦探测时间延迟的变化曲线包含了两个不同的时间寿命组分.第一个时间寿命组分(90 ± 1) fs被归纳为S₂态到S₁/S₀态的内转换过程;第二个时间寿命组分(5.0 ± 0.2) ps被归纳为S₁态的衰减过程.实验中观察到的第二个寿命组分小于早前的研究结果,这表明了在S₁态的衰减过程中还可能存在其他的过程.从时间分辨的光电子影像提取得到的光电子能谱中发现了一个新的失活过程,该过程被归结为激发态S₁的振动态与“热”三重态T₃之间的系间交叉过程.     

2,4-二硫代尿嘧啶的紫外吸收光谱和共振拉曼光谱

硫代嘧啶碱基是光动力疗法潜在的重要光敏剂,其最低单重激发态的光物理研究已有广泛报道。然而,其较高激发态的跃迁性质和反应动力学研究较为稀少。因此,本文采用共振拉曼光谱和密度泛函理论计算方法研究2,4-二硫代尿嘧啶的紫外光谱和几个较高单重激发态的短时结构动力学。首先,基于共振拉曼光谱强度与电子吸收带振子强度f的关系,将紫外光谱去卷积成四个吸收带,分别为358 nm(f=0.0336)中等强度吸收带(A带),338 nm(f=0.1491)、301 nm(f=0.1795)和278 nm(f=0.3532)强而宽的吸收带(B、C和D带)。这一结果既吻合密度泛函理论计算结果,又符合共振拉曼光谱强度模式对紫外光谱带的预期。据此,去卷积得到的四个吸收带被分别指认为S0→S2跃迁、S0→S6跃迁、S0→S7跃迁和S_0→S_8跃迁。同时,分别对B,C和D带共振拉曼光谱进行了详细的指认,获得了短时动力学信息。结果表明,S_8态短时动力学的显著特征是在Franck-Condon区域或附近发生了S8(ππ~*)/S(nπ~*)势能面交叉引发的、伴随超快结构扭转的非绝热过程。S7和S6态短时动力学的主要特征是反应坐标的多维性,它们分别沿C_5C_6/C_2S_8/C_4S_(10)/N_2C_3+C_4N_3H_9/N_1C_2N_3/C_2N_1C_6/C_6N_1H_7/C_5C_6H_(12)和C_5C_6/N_3C_2/C_4S_(10)/C_2S_8+C_6N_1H_7/C_5C_6H_(12)/C_5C_6N_1/C_5C_6H_(12)/C_2N_1C_6/N_1C_2N_3/C_4N_3H_9/N_1C_2N_3等内坐标演化。     

Asymmetric synthesis catalyzed by chiral ferrocenylphosphine-transition metal complexes VII. New chiral ferrocenylphosphines with C2 symmetry

A new chiral ferrocenylphosphine ligand, 2,2′-bis[1-N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (2), which has C₂ symmetry and a functional group on the side chain, was prepared by ortho-lithiation and phosphination of 1,1′-bis[1-N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl]ferrocene followed by optical resolution; recrystallization of the diammonium salt with tartaric acid. An X-ray diffraction study of PdCl₂[(+)-2] showed that the complex has square-planar geometry with two cis chlorine and two phosphorus atoms and ligand (+)-2 has an (S) configuration on the 1-dimethylaminoethyl side chain and (R) ferrocene planar chirality.     

Substituent-controlled photoisomerization in retinal chromophore models: Fluorinated and methoxy-substituted protonated Schiff bases

The effect of substitution on the intrinsic (i.e. in vacuo) photoisomerization ability of retinal chromophore models has been explored using CASPT2//CASSCF minimum energy path computations to map the S₁ photoisomerization paths of two substituted minimal models of the retinal chromophore: the 2-cis-penta-2,4-dieniminium and the all-trans-epta-2,4,6-trieniminium cations, which have been modified using fluorine or methoxyl substituents as representative examples of electron-withdrawing and electron-releasing groups, respectively. A systematic analysis has been performed involving substitutions in all the possible positions along the chain. It is shown that the photochemical reactivity and photoisomerization efficiency of these systems may be tuned or indeed changed, although this effect strongly depends on the position of the substituent. In particular, we have shown that (i) most of the systems preserves qualitatively the reactivity of the parent (i.e. unsubstituted) compound; (ii) substitution at positions C4 or C6 leads to a different relaxed excited state structure of the chromophore and in general to a very flat photoisomerization path (or to a tiny S₁ energy barrier in some cases); (iii) the nature of the TICT state (i.e. the S₁ → S₀ decay funnel) may be turned from a conical intersection into an excited state minimum; (iv) for the C4 methoxy-substituted system the isomerization path as well as the S₁/S₀ decay funnel involve an unusual torsional angle. Thus, substitution turns out to be a good tool not only to tune the optical properties (i.e. the absorption and emission features) of the chromophore (as we have already shown in a previous work: I. Conti, F. Bernardi, G. Orlandi, M. Garavelli, Mol. Phys. 104 (2006) 915–924), but it may also play a crucial role in tuning and controlling photoisomerization selectivity and efficiency, affecting excited state lifetime and reaction rate. A rationale for these effects is presented, which provides a basis for understanding reactivity properties and the intrinsic photochemical behavior of substituted retinal chromophores.     

The cis—trans isomerization of nitrostilbenes XV: mixed singlet and triplet mechanism for trans → cis photoisomerization of 4-nitro-4′-dialkylaminostilbenes in non-polar solvents

The quantum yields of direct cis trans photoisomerization (φ_c → _t and φ_{t → c}) and of fluorescence of the trans isomers (φ_f) of three 4-nitro-4′-R-stilbenes (R amino (1), dimethylamino (2) and diethylamino (3)) were measured in several saturated hydrocarbons. Formation and decay of the lowest triplet state was observed by nanosecond laser flash photolysis. The triplet yield (φ_T), the triplet lifetime (τ_T), φ_{t → c} and φ_f were measured as a function of temperature and of the concentration of the quenchers ferrocene, azulene (Q) and oxygen. Twisting in the triplet, involving a ³t* ³p* equilibrium, analogous to that in other 4-nitrostilbenes, is suggested on the basis of the effects of temperature and quenchers on φ_T and τ_T. The trans → cis photoisomerization of 1 follows the triplet route almost completely. The existence of a singlet pathway (20% – 30% contribution) for 2 and 3 in non-polar solvents at room temperature is concluded from the non-linear dependence of the φ⁰_{t → c}/φ_{t → c} ratio on the concentration of Q. For these two nitrostilbenes a mixed singlet—triplet mechanism for the trans → cis photoisomerization is suggested.     

Molecular structure of 3-methylthiophene studied by gas electron diffraction combined with microwave spectroscopic data

The molecular structure of 3-methylthiophene has been determined by gas electron diffraction (GED) combined with microwave (MW) spectroscopic data. Ab initio calculations at the HF/3–21G* level were carried out and used as structural constraints in the data analysis. The torsional vibration of the methyl group was treated as a large-amplitude motion. The structural parameters were determined to be: r_{g(S---C2) = 1.719(2) Å}, r_{g(C2=C3) = 1.370(3) Å}, r_{g(C3---C6) = 1.497(6) Å}, r_{g(C2---H) = 1.101(5) Å}, CSC = 91.6(2)°, SC₂C₃ = 113.3(5)°, SC₅C₄ = 111.3(3)°, C₂C₃C₆ = 123.2(11)° and C₃C₆H = 112(2)°. The values of r(S---C₂) - r(S=C₅) and r(C₂=C₃)-r(C₄ =C₅) were fixed at the 3–21G* value of 0.002 Å. Parenthesized values are the estimated limits of error (3σ) referring to the last significant digit.     

Ligand close packing and the geometries of A(XY)4 and some related molecules

Molecules of the type A(OX)₄, A(NX₂)₄ and A(CY₂X)₄ are not regularly tetrahedral about the central atom A. Two of the angles about this central atom are smaller than tetrahedral and four are larger, or four are smaller and two larger. By considering that the ligand atom (O, N or C) that is bonded to the central atom A has three intramolecular ligand radii and minimising the number of ligand–ligand contact distances, as described in the theory of ligand close packing, we are able to account for the S₄ and D_2d geometries observed for C(OCH₃)₄, C(OPh)₄ and CEE₄ and related molecules. The ligand close packing model also rationalises the C₂ geometries of SO₂(OR)₂ molecules and the differences in O–C–R angles and C–R bond lengths in R₃COX molecules. The lengths of these interligand radii can be determined either by calculating the molecular geometry or by deriving them from experimental geometries. The radii depend on the charge of the ligand, the sizes of the Y and Z groups and the angle A–X–Z. The relative sizes of these radii determine the preference for D_2d or S₄ geometries and the degree of distortion of the bond angles from the ideal tetrahedral angle.     

Regioselective addition of protic acids to tricarbonyliron complexes of 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(methylene)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane. Crystal structure of (C10H10O)Fe2(CO)6

The main product of the thermal reaction between the title oxatetraene (I) and Fe₂(CO)₉ in ether/pentane is the bimetallic complex (C₁₀H₁₀O)Fe₂(CO)₆-diexo (II), which has C_2υ symmetry both in the solid state (X-ray analysis) and in solution. Whereas the protonation of the free ligand leads usually to polymerisation, the addition of a protic acid such as CF₃CO₂H to II proceeds cleanly at 0°C giving first a (η 3-allyl)Fe(CO)₃O₂CCF₃ complex (III). The intermediate III adds a second equivalent of acid in a slower step (k₂/k₁ = 0.1, CF₃CO₂D/CHCl₃, 0°C) giving the trans-bis(η³-allyl) isomer IV with high regioselectivity. The addition of CF₃CO₂D yields the corresponding deuteriomethylallyliron tricarbonyl trifluoroacetates III′ and IV′. No further deuterium incorporation is observed at 0°C, thus confirming the kinetic control of the regioselective double addition of protic acid to II.     

Structural diversity in dinickel(II) complexes of thiosemicarbazones

2,6-Diformyl-p-cresol serves as a starting point for the generation of multidentate N/O/S chelating agents. Condensation with 4-(X-phenyl) thiosemicarbazide yields the pentadentate ligand having SNONS donor sequences, capable of holding two metal ions in close proximity. The ligands behave as mono/di/tri basic depending on the pH of the medium. Stereochemical diversity in the reaction product of such ligands with nickel(II) chloride at different pH is observed. Sterically demanding substituted ligands in association with various exogenous bridges dictate the geometry and coordination number of such complexes. The compounds were investigated by elemental analysis, molar conductivities, electronic spectra, IR, NMR, FAB mass spectra, TG-DTG, magnetic susceptibility measurements. Varieties of geometries such as square planar, square pyramidal, octahedral and square planar–square pyramidal are observed. Cryomagnetic data for the complexes (79–296 K) can be reproduced by an equation based on the Heisenberg model (H=−2JS₁S₂, S₁=S₂=1). The singlet–triplet splitting, J varies systematically with the coordination geometry about the Ni₂(SNONS) core, with the hydroxo bridged complex exhibiting the greatest degree of antiferromagnetic coupling. The coupling is somewhat weaker for the chloro-bridged complexes. None of the complexes have shown any appreciable antimicrobial activity.     

Structure of liquid 1-chloronaphthalene at 293 K

The structure of 1-chloronaphthalene, C₁₀H₇–Cl, at 293 K was investigated using the X-ray diffraction method. Monochromatic radiation MoK (λ=0.71069 Å) enabled the determination of the scattered radiation intensity between S₀=4πsin ₀/λ=0.430 Å⁻¹ and S_max=14.311 Å⁻¹. The interpretation of the results was carried out using the reduction method of Blum and Narten. Experimental distributions of X-ray scattered intensity were compared with theoretical results predicted for a proposed model of 1-chloronaphthalene molecule. The electron-density radial-distribution function was calculated and some intra- and intermolecular distances in liquid 1-chloronaphthalene were determined. X-ray structural analysis was applied to determine the packing coefficient of 1-chloronaphthalene molecules.     

Excited-state structure and vibrations of p-diaminobenzene studied by ab initio calculations

The structures and vibrations of p-diaminobenzene (PDAB) in the S₀ and S₁ states have been studied by ab initio quantum-chemical calculations. Results from geometry optimization show that the two stable cis and trans conformers of PDAB are non-planar in the S₀ state. Upon electronic excitation to the S₁ state, enhanced interaction between the ring and the amino substituent causes the molecule to become planar and contract along the long in-plane axis. A detailed analysis of the normal vibrations of PDAB in both states has been done on the basis of the motions of individual atoms as well as reduced masses, force constants and frequencies. The computed frequencies are in reasonably good agreement with the available experimental data.     

1.54 and 1.75 μm infrared luminescence of Y2O3:Er

A new 1.75 μm infrared emission transition of Y₂O₃:Er³⁺ is assigned to the ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_9/2 transition of Er³⁺ ions situated at the C₂ sites of cubic RE₂O₃ (RE = Y, Gd, Lu). The intensities of features in the 1.54 μm ⁴I_15/2–⁴I_13/2 absorption transition due to Er³⁺ at S₆ and C₂ sites are consistent with the site occupation ratio and the relative magnetic dipole–electric dipole intensity contributions of Er³⁺ at the different sites. The 1.54 μm emission lines are predominantly from Er³⁺ ions at C₂ sites. The different behaviours of the emission intensities 1.75 and 1.54 μm groups with change in Er³⁺ dopant ion concentration, preparation technique, Yb³⁺ co-doping, temperature change and different excitation line are rationalized.     

The rotational spectrum of propynyl isocyanide

Propynyl isocyanide, CH₃C₂NC, has been prepared by vacuum pyrolysis of pentacarbonyl-(1,2-dichloropropenyl isocyanide) chromium, (CO)₅Cr–CN–C(Cl)=C(Cl)CH₃, and its ground state millimeter and microwave spectrum has been observed for the first time. r_s structural parameters of this molecule with a C_3v symmetry could be obtained from the rotational constants of several isotopomers: r_(C1–C2)=1.456(2) Å, r_(C2–C3)=1.206(2) Å, r_(C3–N)= 1.316(2) Å, r_(N–C4)= 1.175(2) Å, r_(H–C1)= 1.090(1) Å, >HCC=110.7(4)°. The nitrogen quadrupole coupling constant has been determined to be 878(2) kHz and measurements of the Stark effect allowed to obtain an electric dipole moment of 4.19(3) Debye. The results fit well into a series of related compounds and are in good agreement with data from ab initio calculations.     

γ-巴豆酰内酯激发态动力学的共振拉曼光谱和完全活性空间自洽场(CASSCF)计算研究

The temperature dependence of the two positronium bubble states in liquid SF6

Positron lifetime measurements have been performed on liquid SF₆ in the temperature range from −45°C to 71°C (T_c = 45.65°C). The positron lifetime spectra were resolved into four lifetime components. In the order of increasing lifetimes the four lifetime components are associated with the decay of para-positronium (p-Ps), free positrons, ortho-positronium (o-Ps) from a small bubble state, and o-Ps from a large bubble state. The lifetime of o-Ps annihilating from the large bubble state τ₄ increases from 5.7 ns at −45°C to 19.5 ns at 53°C. The lifetime of o-Ps annihilating from the small bubble state τ₃ was found to be 2–2.5 ns in the main part of the temperature range studied. Apparently, this is the first observation of two different o-Ps states in a liquid. The intensity I₄ (I₃) increases (decreases) from 16.9% (16%) at −45°C to 47.2% (6.4%) at the critical point while above I₃ and I₄ are essentially temperature independent. The large Ps bubble state seems to be similar to the Ps bubble state found in most liquids.
