The relationship between hydrogen bonding and NMR chemical shifts in the catalytic triad of low-pH α-chymotrypsin is investigated
by combined use of the effective fragment potential [(2001) J Phys Chem A 105:293] and ONIOM–NMR [(2000) Chem Phys Lett 317:589] methods. Our study shows that while the His57 Nδ1−H bond is stretched by a relatively modest amount (to about 1.060 ?) this lengthening, combined with the polarization due
to the molecular environment, is sufficient to explain the experimentally observed chemical shifts of 18.2 ppm. Furthermore,
the unusual down-field shift of Hɛ1 (9.2 ppm) observed experimentally is reproduced and shown to be induced by interactions with the C=O group of Ser214 as previously
postulated. The free-energy cost of moving Hδ1 from His57 to Asp102 is predicted to be 5.5 kcal/mol.

This article presents an overview of recent advances in the study of electron pairing through the use of localization and
delocalization indices obtained from double integration over atomic basins of the exchange–correlation density in the framework
of the atoms-in-molecules theory. These localization and delocalization indices describe the intra- and interatomic distribution
of the electron pairs in a molecule. The main results of the application of these second-order indices to the analysis of
molecular structure and chemical reactivity are briefly reviewed. It is shown that localization and delocalization indices
represent a powerful tool to describe the electron-pair structure of molecules, which, in turn, provides deeper insight into
relevant chemical phenomena such as electron correlation effects and the formation of localized α, β electron pairs.

The mathematical structure of the reduced-gradient-following (RGF) path introduced by Quapp et al. (1988 J. Comput. Chem. 19:1087) is reviewed and analyzed. We report two new algorithms to evaluate the RGF path. The RGF path is also compared mathematically
and computationally with the gradient extremals path. An example of the evaluation of the RGF path is also reported.

The partial Hessian vibrational analysis (PHVA), in which only a subblock of the Hesssian matrix is diagonalized to yield
vibrational frequencies for partially optimized systems, is extended to the calculation of vibrational enthalpy and entropy
changes for chemical reactions. The utility of this method is demonstrated for various deprotonation reactions by reproducing
full HVA values to within 0.1–0.4 kcal/mol, depending on the number atoms included in the PHVA. When combined with the hybrid
effective fragment potential method [Gordon MS, et al. (2001) J Phys Chem A 105:293–307], the PHVA method can provide (harmonic) free-energy changes for localized chemical reactions in very large systems.

It is shown that a supposed catastrophe of Bader's theory of atoms in molecules, suggested by Cassam-chena? and Jayatilaka
[Theor Chem Acc (2001) 105: 213] is merely a consequence of the approximate character of the adiabatic Born–Oppenheimer theory of molecular
structure, and that nonadiabatic approaches could be in accordance with Bader's ideas.

According to Mayr, polar organic synthesis can be rationalized by a simple empirical relationship linking bimolecular rate constants to as few as three reactivity parameters. Here, we propose an extension to Mayr's reactivity method that is rooted in uncertainty quantification and transforms the reactivity parameters into probability distributions. Through uncertainty propagation, these distributions can be transformed into uncertainty estimates for bimolecular rate constants. Chemists can exploit these virtual error bars to enhance synthesis planning and to decrease the ambiguity of conclusions drawn from experimental data. We demonstrate the above at the example of the reference data set released by Mayr and co-workers [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001 , 123, 9500; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012 , 134, 13902]. As by-product of the new approach, we obtain revised reactivity parameters for 36 π-nucleophiles and 32 benzhydrylium ions. 相似文献

This article describes the application of a genetic algorithm for the structural optimization of 19–50-atom clusters bound
by medium-range and short-range Morse pair potentials. The GA is found to be efficient and reliable for finding the geometries
corresponding to the previously published global minima [Doye JPK, Wales DJ (1997) J Chem Soc Faraday Trans 93: 4233]. Using the genetic algorithm, only a relatively small number of energy evaluations and minimizations are required
to find the global minima. By contrast, a simple random search algorithm often cannot find the global minima of the larger
clusters, even after many thousands of searches.

The reorientation of 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid (AdCA) within the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) cavity is investigated by means of multiple-field 13C NMR relaxation. The dissociation constant describing the complexation equilibrium is determined using translational diffusion measurements for the guest during a titration by the host in D2O/DMSO solvent mixture. The changes in apparent diffusion properties of AdCA during the titration are at 25 °C well described assuming the formation of a 1:1 complex, whereas at 0 °C the data indicate the presence of a 2:1 (guest:host) complex. The 13C NMR relaxation parameters for the AdCA molecule bound inside the β-CD cavity are extracted. Despite the high association constant, indicating a strong interaction between the two molecules, the guest molecule is quite mobile. The reorientation of the bound AdCA at 25 °C can be described by either the Lipari–Szabo or the axially symmetric rotational diffusion model. The motion is extremely anisotropic: the adamantyl group rotates fast around the β-CD symmetry axis, inside its cylindrical cavity. At lower temperature, the relaxation properties are no longer possible to explain using these models. Instead, the data are analyzed using extended, three-step spectral density of Clore et al. [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 112, 4989 (1990)]. 相似文献

The Rydberg character of the excited states of free-base porphin (FBP) has been investigated by the ab initio configuration
interaction singles (CIS) method and the state-averaged complete-active-space self-consistent-field method. Double-zeta basis
sets augmented with s, p, and d Rydberg functions and d polarization functions have been employed. Two types of molecular
orbitals sets, the restricted Hartree–Fock molecular orbitals obtained for the ground state (1A
g
) and for the cation state (2A
u
), have been used in the CIS calculations. All the calculations show that Rydberg-type excitations play important roles especially
in the N bands. In this article we propose applying the model of a perturbed Rydberg series to interpret the excited states
of FBP. By using this model, we have succeeded in analyzing the characteristics of the excited states as well as the experimental
oscillator strengths, which have considerable magnitude even in the higher excited states.

The ground state and several low-lying excited states of the Mg2 dimer have been studied by means of a combination of the complete-active-space multiconfiguration self-consistent-field (CASSCF)/CAS
multireference second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) method and coupled-cluster with single and double excitations and
perturbative contribution of connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] scheme. Reasonably good agreement with experiment has
been obtained for the CCSD(T) ground-state potential curve but the dissociation energy of the only experimentally known A1Σ
u
+ excited state of Mg2 is somewhat overestimated at the CASSCF/CASPT2 level. The spectroscopic constants D
e, R
e and ωe deduced from the calculated potential curves for other states are also reported. In addition, some spin–orbit matrix elements
between the excited singlet and triplet states of Mg2 have been evaluated as a function of internuclear separation.

The nature of the Maxwell–Cartesian spherical harmonics S
(n)
K
and their relation to tesseral harmonics Y
nm
is examined with the help of “tricorn arrays” that display the components of a totally symmetric Cartesian tensor of any
rank in a systematic way. The arrays show the symmetries of the Maxwell–Cartesian harmonic tensors with respect to permutation
of axes, the traceless properties of the tensors, the linearly independent subsets, the nonorthogonal subsets, and the subsets
whose linear combinations produce the tesseral harmonics. The two families of harmonics are related by their connection with
the gradients of 1/r, and explicit formulas for the transformation coefficients are derived. The rotational transformation of S
(n)
K
functions is described by a relatively simple Cartesian tensor method. The utility of the Maxwell–Cartesian harmonics in
the theory of multipole potentials, where these functions originated in the work of Maxwell, is illustrated with some newer
applications which employ a detracer exchange theorem and make use of the partial linear independence of the functions. The
properties of atomic orbitals whose angular part is described by Maxwell–Cartesian harmonics are explored, including their
angular momenta, adherence to an Uns?ld-type spherical symmetry relation, and potential for eliminating an angular momentum
“contamination” problem in Cartesian Gaussian basis sets.

Localization, λ(A), and delocalization indices, δ(A,B), as defined in the atoms in molecules theory, are a convenient tool for the analysis of molecular electronic structure from
an electron-pair perspective. These indices can be calculated at any level of theory, provided that first- and second-order
electron densities are available. In particular, calculations at the Hartree–Fock (HF) and configuration interaction (CI)
levels have been previously reported for many molecules. However, λ(A) and δ(A,B) cannot be calculated exactly in the framework of Kohn–Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT), where the electron-pair
density is not defined. As a practical workaround, one can derive a HF-like electron-pair density from the KS orbitals and
calculate approximate localization and delocalization indices at the DFT level. Recently, several calculations using this
approach have been reported. Here we present HF, CI and approximate DFT calculations of λ(A) and δ(A,B) values for a number of molecules. Furthermore, we also perform approximate CI calculations using the HF formalism to obtain
the electron-pair density. In general, the approximate DFT and CI results are closer to the HF results than to the CI ones.
Indeed, the approximate calculations take into account Coulomb electron correlation effects on the first-order electron density
but not on the electron-pair density. In summary, approximate DFT and CI localization and delocalization indices are easy
to calculate and can be useful in the analysis of molecular electronic structure; however, one should take into account that
this approximation increases systematically the delocalization between covalently bonded atoms, with respect to the exact
CI results.

error is nearly zero in the complete basis set (CBS) limit. That is, the counterpoise-uncorrected intermolecular interaction
energies are nearly equal to the counterpoise-corrected intermolecular interaction energies in the CBS limit. When the basis
set is smaller, the counterpoise-uncorrected intermolecular interaction energies are more reliable than the counterpoise-corrected
intermolecular interaction energies. The counterpoise-uncorrected intermolecular interaction energies evaluated using the
MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level is reliable.

The radial electron-pair intracule (relative motion) H(u) and extracule (center-of-mass motion) D(R) densities in position space were known to reveal four types of maxima which are related to the four inner electron shells,
K, L, M, and N, of atoms. The corresponding radial electron-pair intracule Hˉ(v) and extracule Dˉ(P) densities in momentum space are studied for the 102 atoms from He (atomic number Z=2) to Lr (Z=103). The densities Hˉ(v) and Dˉ(P) are found to have either one maximum or two maxima, and the numbers of maxima in Hˉ(v) and Dˉ(P) are the same for 98 atoms. For these atoms, the locations υ
max and P
max and the heights Hˉ
max
and Dˉ
max
of the corresponding maxima satisfy the approximate relations υ
max ≅ 2P
max and Hˉ
max
≅Dˉ

/2. On the basis of their Z-dependence, the maxima in Hˉ(v) and Dˉ(P) of the 102 atoms are classified into five types. Shell-pair decompositions of the radial densities show that these maxima
reflect five outer electron shells of atoms.

The equilibrium geometries, electronic structures and UV–vis spectra of a series of spiroannelated quinone-type methanofullerenes
have been determined by using Zerner's intermediate neglect of differential overlap method. The results show that between
fullerene and the addend there exists a special interaction, “periconjugation”, which results in through-space orbital interactions.
The calculated UV–vis spectra are in good agreement with experiments. On the basis of the electronic spectra, the β values
are calculated. The results show that spiroannelated quinone-type methanofullerenes have quite large β values. We attribute
the large β values to both the charge transfer from C60 to benzoquinone and on the C60 three-dimensional conjugated sphere.

A series of correlation-consistent basis sets are developed for Fe. Our best computed 5F–5D separation in the Fe atom is in excellent agreement with experiment. Our best estimate for the FeCO D
0 value is in good agreement with experiment. The 5Σ−–3Σ− separation in FeCO has an error of 3.6 kcal/mol; while the origin of this error is not clear, it is probably not due to the
basis set.
