Geometry and force constant determination from correlated wave functions for polyatomic molecules: Ground states of H2O and CH2

Ab initio calculations including electron correlation are reported for the water and methylene molecules as a function of geometry. A large contracted gaussian basis set is used and the multiconfiguration wave functions, optimized by the iterative natural orbital procedure, include 277 and 617 configurations for H₂O and CH₂ respectively. The method of selecting configurations, yielding first-order wave functions, is discussed in some detail. For H₂O, the SCF geometry is r=0,942 Å, =105,8°, the correlated result is r=0,968 Å, =103,2°, and the experimental r=0,957 Å, =104,5°. The water stretching force constants, in millidynes/Å, are 8,72 (SCF), 8,75 (CI), and 8,4 (experiment). Bending force constants are 0,88 (SCF), 0,83 (CI), and 0,76 (experiment). For methylene the SCF geometry is r=1,072 Å, =129,5°, while the result from first-order wave functions is r=1,088 Å, =134°. The predicted CH₂ force constants are 6,16 (SCF) and 6,13 (CI) for stretching and 0,44 (SCF) and 0,33 (CI) for bending.

Zusammenfassung Es wird über ab intito-Rechnungen mit Berücksichtigung der Elektronenkorrelation berichtet, die an Wasser- und Methylenmolekülen als Funktion der Geometrie durchgeführt worden sind. Dazu benutzt man einen großen kontrahierten Gauß-Basissatz. Die Multikonfigurationswellenfunktionen, die unter Benutzung von natürlichen Orbitalen nach der iterativen Prozedur optimiert werden, enthalten für H₂O 277 Konfigurationen und für CH₂ 617. Die Auswahlmethode, die zu Wellenfunktionen 1. Ordnung führt, wird diskutiert. Im Falle des Wassers erhält man die SCF-Geometrie zu r=0,942 Å, =105,8°, das korrelierte Resultat ist: r=0,968 Å, =103,2° und das experimentelle r=0,957 Å, =104,5°. Für Wasser ergeben sich die Valenzkraftkonstanten (in Millidyn Å^–1) 8,72 (SCF), 8,75 (CI) und 8,4 (Experiment). Die Deformationskonstanten sind 0,88 (SCF), 0,83 (CI) und 0,76 (Experiment). Im Falle des Methylens ist die SCF-Geometrie r=1,072 Å, =129,5°, während man mit Wellenfunktionen 1. Ordnung r=1,088 Å und =134° erhält. Die CH₂-Kraftkonstanten werden für die Valenzschwingung zu 6,16 (SCF) und 6,13 (CI) bzw. für die Deformationsschwingung zu 0,44 (SCF) und 0,33 (CI) vorausgesagt.

In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ the Cu(1)^[4]O₄ square and the As(1)O₄ tetrahedron share a common O—O edge of 2.428(5) Å, resulting in distortions of both the CuO₄ square and the AsO₄ tetrahedron. The two Na atoms in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂ are [6] coordinated, the K atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ is [8] coordinated by O atoms.Die drei Kupfer(II)-Arsenate wurden unter Hydrothermalbedingungen gezüchtet und ihre Kristallstrukturen mittels Einkristall-Röntgenbeugungsmethoden ermittelt:Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III:a = 5.046(2) Å,b = 5.417(2) Å,c = 6.354(2) Å, = 70.61 (2)°, = 86.52(2)°, = 68.43(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.035 für 1674 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂:a = 4.882(2) Å,b = 5.870(2) Å,c = 6.958(3) Å, = 98.51(2)°, = 90.76(2)°, = 105.97(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.028 für 2157 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.KCu₄(AsO₄)₃:a = 12.234(5) Å,b = 12.438(5) Å,c = 7.307(3) Å, = 118.17(2)°,Z = 4, Raumgruppe C2/c,R = 0.029 für 1896 Reflexe mit sin / 0.80 Å^–1.Die Cu-Atome in diesen drei Verbindungen sind durch O-Atome quadratisch planar [4], tetragonal pyramidal [4 + 1] und tetragonal dipyramidal [4 + 2]-koordiniert; eine Ausnahme ist das Cu(2)^{[4 + 1]}-Atom in Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III: Das Koordinationspolyeder stellt einen Vertreter des Übergangs von einer tetragonalen Pyramide zu einer trigonalen Dipyramide dar. In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ haben das Cu(1)^[4]O₄-Quadrat und das As(1)O₄-Tetraeder eine gemeinsame O—O-Kante von 2.428(5) Å, was eine Verzerrung der beiden Koordinationsfiguren CuO₄-Quadrat und AsO₄-Tetraeder bedingt. Die zwei Na-Atome in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₃ sind durch O-Atome [6]-koordiniert, das K-Atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ ist [8]-koordiniert.

2,2′-Diphenyl-Δ3,3′-bi-3H-indole-1,1′-dioxide: Molecular interactions and crystal structure

The Dinitrone 2,2-diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indole-1,1-dioxide acts as a demethylating and dehydrogenating agent. The mechanism of interaction of the dinitrone with donors and acceptors does not involve intermediate charge-transfer complexes probably due to a self association between dinitrone molecules (as supported by X-ray determinations). The crystal structure of the dinitrone was obtained by direct methods;a=9.967 (2),b=19.817 (3),c=10.875 (2) Å, =111.2 (2)°, space group P2₁/n.

In GPTHF centrosymmetric dimers of gossypol formedvia O(5)-H...O(3) hydrogen bonds are associated in columns via a weak O(4)-H...O(8) hydrogen bond. In GPCHN the latter bond disappears as the distance O(4)-O(8) is increased to 3.73 Å. In GPBTA the O(5)-H...O(3) bond is replaced by three centre hydrogen bonds O(5)-H...O(2) and O(3)-H...O(5), and a centrosymmetric dimer of a new type is formed. These dimers are further connected by two weak hydrogen bonds to form columns. The butanal molecule interacts with the host structure via two hydrogen bonds. This indicates that a guest component can activate or deactivate different functional groups of the host in channel inclusion complexes of gossypol for hydrogen bond formation.     

Crystalline complexes of N,N'-ditritylurea (DTU) and N-tritylurea (NTU) hosts with molecular guests

This paper reports crystalline complexes of the new hosts N,N'-ditritylurea (DTU) and N-tritylurea (NTU) with various uncharged molecular guests. The crystal structures of the following complexes were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at 115^oK: (I) 1:1 DTU-propanamide — space group C2/c, a=15.839Å, b=9.088Å, c=24.584Å, =111.05^o, Z=4; (II) 1:1 DTU-ethyl N-acetylglycinate — space group P1, a=9.010Å, b=10.800Å, c=19.810 Å, =105.29^o =94.33^o, =93.03^o, Z=2; (III) 2:1 NTU-N, N-dimethylformamide — space group Cc, a=29.614Å, b=8.906Å, c=16.127Å, =121.04^o, Z=4. The three crystal structures are stabilized mainly by a cooperative effect of hydrogen bonding between amide fragments displaced along the shortest axis of each crystal. This interaction occurs between host and guest in complexes I and II, and between host and host in complex III. The latter also represents a cage-type clathrate in which the guest molecules are accommodated in voids between the hydrophobic fragments of four neighboring NTU hosts. On the other hand, complexes of DTU are characterized by a more specific interaction between the two components, each guest molecule being inserted between two adjacent hosts (related by translation) and strongly bound to them via hydrogen bridges. These results illustrate a useful concept in the design of molecular species which can be potential hosts upon crystallization with neutral molecular guests.

Diaqua[N,N-di(2-carboxyethyl)-o-anisidinato]copper(II) Dihydrate [Cu(o-Andp)(H2O)2] · 2H2O: Synthesis and Crystal Structure

Crystals of [Cu(o-Andp)(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O (where o-Andp^2–is -anisidine-N,N-di-3-propionate) were synthesized and studied using X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals are triclinic: a= 12.063(1) Å, b= 12.483(3) Å, c= 13.586(2) Å, = 91.29(1)°, = 111.67(1)°, = 104.00(1)°, V= 1830.5(5) ų, space group P , Z= 2, and R= 0.0528 for 5965 reflections with I2(I). The two crystallographically independent complexes are isostructural. The tetragonal–bipyramidal coordination of copper(III) involves three O atoms, the N atom of the tetradentate ligand o-Andp^2–, and two O atoms from water. The aminodipropionate group of the ligand (average Cu–O 1.939 Å and Cu–N 2.051 Å) and one of the coordinated water molecules (Cu–O(w) 1.991 Å) lie in the equatorial plane. The second water molecule (Cu–O(w) 2.32 Å) and the methoxy O atom of o-Andp^2–(Cu–O 2.37 Å) are in the apical positions of the bipyramid.     

Röntgenuntersuchungen zur Kristallstruktur von Polybutylenterephthalat (PBT)

Zusammenfassung Polybutylenterephthalat (PBT) gewinnt als Spritzgußmaterial und als Faserrohstoff zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die thermischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften des PBT sind von denen des Polyäthylenterephthalates (PET) erheblich abweichend. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll einen Beitrag liefern, die abweichenden Ergebnisse deuten zu können.Deswegen wurden die Gitterzelle und die Kettenanordnung im Kristallverband des PBT untersucht. Aus Röntgenmessungen ergaben sich die folgenden Gitterzellenparameter:a=4,83 Å,b=6,05 Å,c=11,45 Å,=100,5°,=117°,=110,8°.Damit ergibt sich eine Kristalldichte von=1,433 g/cm³ im Vergleich zu=1,515 g/cm³ beim PET.Mit der Annahme einer abgewinkelten Kettenkonformation kann in befriedigender Weise die verkürzte Faseridentitätsperiode und die gegenüber dem PET verlängerte Zellenkante a des PBT erklärt werden.

Summary Polybutylenterephthalate (PBT) is a new molding and fibre spinning material for industrial applications. The thermal and mechanical properties of PBT are quite different from those of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET).The unit cell of PBT was found by X-ray diffraction studies to be triclinic, similar to that of PET, but having the parameters:a=4.83 A,b=6.05 Å,c=11.45 Å,a=100.5°=117°,=110.8°. This gives a crystalline density of=1,433 g/cm³ compared with=1.515 g/cm³ for PET.Since a completely extended PBT chain would theoretical have a repeat length of 13.25 Å the above unit cell requires a kinked chain conformation. The increaseda axis dimension, in comparison to PET would be in agreement with this conclusion.
