A computational study of interplay between hydride bonding and cation–π interactions: H-Mg-H···X···Y triads (X = Li+, Na+, Y = C2H2, C2H4, C6H6) as model systems

In the present study, H-Mg-H···X···Y (X = Li⁺, Na⁺ and Y = C₂H₂, C₂H₄, C₆H₆) triads have been investigated at MP2/6-311++G(2d,2p) computational level to characterise cooperative effects between hydride bonding and cation–π interactions. Molecular geometries, binding energies, cooperative energies and many-body interaction energies were evaluated. The diminutive energy values in triads with Li⁺ are larger than respective values in triads with Na⁺. The electronic properties of the complexes are analysed using parameters derived from the quantum theory of atoms in molecules methodology.     

Structural and spectroscopic investigation of the N-methylformamide–water (NMF···3H2O) complex

In this work, theoretical studies on the structure, molecular properties, hydrogen bonding, and vibrational spectra of the N-methylformamide–water (NMF···3H₂O) complex will be presented. The molecular geometry was optimised by using Hartree–Fock (HF), second Møller–Plesset (MP2), and density functional theory methods with different basis sets. The harmonic vibrational frequencies are computed by using the B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d,p) as a basis set and then scaled with a suitable scale factor to yield good coherence with the observed values. The temperature dependence of various thermodynamic functions (heat capacity, entropy, and enthalpy changes) was also studied. A detailed analysis of the nature of the hydrogen bonding, using natural bond orbital (NBO) and topological atoms in molecules theory, has been reported.

Computational study of the perhalogenated methyl nitrates CX3ONO2, CX x Y3−x ONO2 (X,Y = F,Cl)

Ab initio and density functional theory methods are employed to study the structures, harmonic frequencies, energetics and thermodynamic properties of the perhalogenated methyl nitrates, CX₃ONO₂, CX _x Y_3?x ONO₂ (X, Y =?F, Cl), which may be formed as secondary reactive intermediates in the coupling of the halogenated methylperoxy radicals with NO. Reaction energies are computed with respect to CX₃O₂ +?NO, CX _x Y_3?x O₂ +?NO and CX₃O +?NO₂, CX _x Y_3?x O +?NO₂ radical pair decomposition species. The large heat of formation values calculated indicate the high stabilization achieved upon halogenation of the methyl radical, particularly for the fluorinated compounds. Thus, the halogenated methyl nitrates which appear in the oxidation chain of halomethanes can be thermally deactivated under suitable temperature and pressure conditions and act as reservoir compounds for the halogenated methylperoxy radicals, CX₃O₂, CX _x Y_3?x O₂ and NO, in the troposphere. The computational investigation also demonstrates the significant structural changes caused by the halogen electron withdrawing effect, compared with the methyl analogue, CH₃ONO₂.

Theoretical investigation on structures,stability and properties of [P,X, Y] (X=C,Si; Y = O,S) isomers

The structures, energetics and stability of the [P, X, Y] (X?=?C, Si; Y?=?O, S) radicals are explored by means of the density functional theory and ab initio levels. Seventeen [P, X, Y] isomers and 14 interconversion transition states are obtained at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level. At the CCSD(T)/6-311?+?G(2df)//QCISD/6-311G(d)?+?ZPVE level, the lowest-lying isomers are the linear PCO 1a (0.0?kcal/mol), PCS 1b (0.0) and the three-membered ring cPSiO 1c (0.0), cPSiS 1d (0.0) on their respective potential energy surfaces. These four isomers exhibit considerably not only thermodynamic but also kinetic stabilities. Additionally, the cyclic cPCS 2b (32.8) and linear PSiS 2d (18.6) possess also high kinetic stability. All of six isomers 1a, 1b, 2b, 1c, 1d and 2d are considerably stabilized by a barrier of at least 20?kcal/mol, and may be detected in the laboratory or interstellar space. Their valence bond structures and possible formation strategies in the laboratory and space are discussed in detail. Finally, the similarities and discrepancies on structures and stabilities between [P, X, Y] (X?=?C, Si; Y?=?O, S) isomers are compared. These predicted results are highly expected to be informative for the future identification of [P, X, Y] (X?=?C, Si; Y?=?O, S) in the laboratory and space.     

Quasi-classical trajectory study of the isotope effect on the stereodynamics in the reaction H(2S)+CH(X2Π; v=0, j=1)→C(1D)+H2(X1Σg+)

The isotope effect on the stereodynamic properties in the title reaction is investigated by a quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method on the 1¹A' potential energy surface at a collision energy of 23.06 kcal/mol. The angular distributions P(θ_r), P(ø_r), P(θ_r, ø_r), and the polarization-dependent generalized differential cross sections are calculated, which demonstrate the observable influences on the rotational polarization of the product by the isotopic substitution of H with D.     

Potential energy surface for the hydroperoxy and water (HO2·H2O) radical complex

A potential energy surface for the system of a hydroperoxy radical and a water molecule is presented. The surface was sampled using constrained density functional theory optimizations performed at the B3LYP level of theory using a 6–311 ++G(3df,3pd) basis set. The data points were fitted to an analytical function based on a common 4-point model for water and a 5-point model for the peroxy radical. A weighted least-squares fit of the parameters was performed using the nearest neighbour pivot method.     

Enhancement effect of lithium bonding on the strength of pnicogen bonds: XH2P···NCLi···NCY as a working model (X = F,Cl; Y = H,F, Cl,CN)

MP2 calculations with aug-cc-pVDZ basis set were used to analyse intermolecular interactions in XH₂P···NCLi···NCY triads (X = F, Cl; Y = H, F, Cl, CN) which are connected via pnicogen bond and lithium bond. To understand the properties of the systems better, the corresponding dyads are also studied. Molecular geometries and interaction energies of dyads, and triads are investigated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ computational level. Particular attention is paid to parameters such as cooperative energies and many-body interaction energies. All studied complexes, with the simultaneous presence of a lithium bond and a pnicogen bond, show cooperativity with energy values ranging between ?4.73 and ?8.88 kJ mol^?1. A linear correlation was found between the interaction energies and magnitude of the product of most positive and negative electrostatic potentials. According to energy decomposition analysis, it is revealed that the electrostatic interactions are the major source of the attraction in the title complexes.     

Blue and red shifts in Rg···HCN and Rg···HNC complexes (Rg=He,Ne, Ar,Kr)

The shift in the harmonic vibrational frequency of the H–C stretch of HCN on formation of the linear Rg···HCN complexes, and of the H–N stretch of HNC on the formation of Rg···HNC complexes (Rg?=?He, Ne, Ar, Kr), has been determined by ab initio computations. These shifts are in agreement with predictions from a model based on perturbation theory and involving the first and second derivatives of the interaction energy with respect to displacement of the H–C (H–N) bond length from its equilibrium value in the monomer. Small blue shifts were obtained for He···HCN, Ne···HCN and He···HNC, while red shifts were obtained for the other weakly bound complexes. These vibrational characteristics are rationalized by considering the balance between the interaction energy derivatives obtained from the perturbative model. For all complexes, the IR intensity of the H–C or H–N stretch was increased from the isolated monomer values on complexation.     

Bi离子掺杂GeO2-Al2O3-M(M=Na2O,BaO,Y2O3)玻璃的光学性质

用高温熔融法制备了Bi离子掺杂浓度为1mol%的GeO-B2O3-Na2O (GBNB),GeO2-Al2O3-Na2O(GANB),GeO2-Al2O3-BaO(GABB)和GeO2-Al2O3-Y2O3(GAYB)玻璃.测定了样品玻璃的差热曲线、吸收、发射光谱及荧光衰减曲线.实验发现GBNB,GANB,GAYB,GABB的吸收边带逐步发生红移.由于这些吸收边带是由Bi3+的6s2电子到Bi5+ 6s0空轨道的跃迁引起.因此推断GBNB,GANB,GAYB,GABB玻璃中Bi5+离子的含量逐步增加.在GABB,GAYB,GANB三个样品中观察到发光中心约1220nm超宽带荧光发射.荧光强度从GABB,GAYB,GANB逐步减弱,荧光半高宽和荧光寿命逐步变小.这些超宽带的荧光归属为Bi5+离子的发光所致.从吸收与荧光光谱的变化,推断在GeO2-Al2O3玻璃中引入BaO,Y2O3组分有利于Bi5+离子的形成.讨论了BaO,Y2O3化学组分对Bi离子在玻璃中的价态影响的内在机理.     

Proton conductivity in the layer compound H3OUO2AsO4·3H2O (HU As)

The proton conductivity in tetragonal H₃OUO₂AsO₄·(3-)H₂O has been measured above the transition temperature at 299 K. The conductivity, calorimetric and spectroscopic data depend on the water content and the transition is suggested to be a peritectic reaction setting free a small amount of solution, which stays strongly adsorbed between the layers of the structure and gives rise to the high conductivity.     

Strengthening of the halogen-bonding by an aerogen bond interaction: substitution and cooperative effects in O3Z···NCX···NCY (Z = Ar,Kr, Xe; X = Cl,Br, I; Y = H,F, OH) complexes

The geometry, interaction energy and bonding properties of ternary complexes O₃Z···NCX···NCY (Z= Ar, Kr, Xe; X = Cl, Br, I and Y = H, F, OH) are investigated with ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level. Two different types of intermolecular interactions are present in these complexes, namely, aerogen bond (Z···N) and halogen bond (X···N). The formation mechanism and bonding properties of these complexes are analysed with molecular electrostatic potentials, quantum theory of atoms in molecules and non-covalent interaction index. It is found that the cooperativity energies in the ternary complexes are all negative; that is, the interaction energy of the ternary complex is greater (more negative) than the sum of the interaction energies of the corresponding binary systems. Also, the cooperativity energies increase with the increase of the interaction energies. The cooperative effects in the ternary complexes make a decrease in the total spin–spin coupling constants across the aerogen bonding, J(Z–N), which can be regarded as a proof for the reinforce of Z···N interactions in the ternary complexes with respect to the binary systems.     

Structures and bonding of C2X2Y q (X=Si,Ge,Sn,Pb; Y=C,Si,Ge,Sn,Pb; q = +1,0,−1): π-type templates for planar tetracoordinate heavier group 14 atoms

Contrasting the big family of the planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC), species featuring the planar tetracoordinate heavier group element M (ptM) have been largely limited. Effective structural frameworks to accommodate such ptM centres are thus highly desired. In the present article, we report an extensive computational study on 60 pentatomic systems C₂X₂Y^q (X=Si,Ge,Sn,Pb; Y=C,Si,Ge,Sn,Pb; q = +1,0,?1) covering both the low and high spin states. Up to 34 systems were shown to have the very low-lying singlet planar tetracoordinate heavier group 14 (ptM with M=Si,Ge,Sn,Pb) structures bearing the 19 (q = +1), 20 (q = 0) and 21 (q = ?1) valence electrons (ve). Structural and bonding analysis confirmed the effectiveness of the inherent π-type ligand skeleton XCCX or XCCY that each have several sets of π-bonding orbitals to stabilise the ptM centre. The structural and bonding motifs of these ptMs differ greatly from the classic ptMs, which have the σ-type ligand skeleton, smaller number of valence electrons (≤18ve), and the centre → ligand π-delocalisation.

Photochemistry of methyl bromide on the α-Cr2O3(0001) surface

The photochemical properties of the Cr-terminated α-Cr₂O₃(0001) surface were explored using methyl bromide (CH₃Br) as a probe molecule. CH₃Br adsorbed and desorbed molecularly from the Cr-terminated α-Cr₂O₃(0001) surface without detectable thermal decomposition. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) revealed a CH₃Br desorption state at 240 K for coverages up to 0.5 ML, followed by more weakly bound molecules desorbing at 175 K for coverages up to 1 ML. Multilayer exposures led to desorption at ~ 130 K. The CH₃Br sticking coefficient was unity at 105 K for coverages up to monolayer saturation, but decreased as the multilayer formed. In contrast, pre-oxidation of the surface (using an oxygen plasma source) led to capping of surface Cr³⁺ sites and near complete removal of CH₃Br TPD states above 150 K. The photochemistry of chemisorbed CH₃Br was explored on the Cr-terminated surface using post-irradiation TPD and photon stimulated desorption (PSD). Irradiation of adsorbed CH₃Br with broad band light from a Hg arc lamp resulted in both photodesorption and photodecomposition of the parent molecule at a combined cross section of ~ 10^? 22 cm². Photodissociation of the CH₃–Br bond was evidenced by both CH₃ detected in PSD and Br atoms left on the surface. Use of a 385 nm cut-off filter effectively shut down the photodissociation pathway but not the parent molecule photodesorption process. From these observations it is inferred that d-to-d transitions in α-Cr₂O₃, occurring at photon energies < 3 eV, do not significantly promote photodecomposition of adsorbed CH₃Br. It is unclear to what extent band-to-band versus direct CH₃Br photolysis play in CH₃–Br bond dissociation initiated by more energetic photons.
