The structure and harmonic vibrational frequencies of the weakly bound complexes formed by HF with CO,CO2 and N2O

The structure and harmonic vibrational frequencies of several weakly bound complexes formed by HF are reported. Theab initio MP2 approach is used with large basis sets for the optimisation of geometries and the determination of harmonic frequencies. COHF and OCHF are examined; both are found to be minima, with the latter being the dominant structure. The linear OCOHF andT shaped OCOFH are studied, but only the linear structure is a minimum. N₂OHF has two minima on the surface corresponding to bent NNOHF and linear ONNHF structures.     

A quantum chemical study of the hydrogen bonding in the CO2⋯HF and N2O⋯HF complexes

Summary Quantum chemical ab initio calculations have been performed for the complex CO₂HF and N₂OHF. The interaction energies were computed through fourth order MBPT and were corrected for basis set superposition errors. Extended polarized basis sets were used which are constructed to give accurate values for electric moments and polarizabilities. The complex NNOHF was found to be bent, while OCOHF is linear, in agreement with experiment. The MBPT calculations give evidence for a second linear isomeric structure FHNNO, a possibility which has also been suggested by recent experimental data. The computed binding energies are: 2.5 kcal/mol for OCOHF, 2.4 kcal/mol for NNOHF, and 3.0 kcal/mol for FHNNO. At the SCF level, the FHNNO complex is less stable than NNOHF, but correlation has a large effect on the geometry and energetics of the latter complex. The NNOHF complex seems to be a system where the positive intramolecular correlation correction prevails over the negative intermolecular component.     

Molecular and Supramolecular Structures of a Nickel(II)–Copper(II)–Nickel(II) Trinuclear Complex Containing a New Macrocyclic Oxamido Complex Ligand

The title complex, [Cu(NiL)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, has been obtained by self-assembly, where [NiL] is a new macrocyclic oxamido complex ligand. In the crystal, a new kind of supramolecular interaction between the carbon atoms of the oxamido group of each [NiL] complex ligand in a [Cu(NiL)₂(H₂O)₂]^{2 +} cation and the oxygen atom of one of the ester carbonyls of another [Cu(NiL)₂(H₂O)₂]^{2 +} cation, and C—HO, O—HO and interactions are observed and link the trinuclear fragments and perchlorate ions to form a 3D supramolecular network.     

Crystal and molecular structure analysis of flutamide. Bifurcated helicoidal C-H ⋯ O hydrogen bonds

Crystal structure determination and semiempirical AM1 and PM3 calculations were performed on flutamide {2-methyl-N[4 nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl] propamide}, a powerful nonsteroidal androgen antagonist. The molecule is almost planar apart from CF₃, NO₂, and CH₃ groups. The NO₂ plane makes an angle of 36.3(4) with the least-square plane of the phenyl ring. The molecules are intermolecularly linked by one N-H O and one C-H O hydrogen bonds. A bifurcated helicoidal hydrogen bond network is formed by the intermolecular C-H O hydrogen bond together with another intramolecular C-H O hydrogen bond. The calculated structures are in good agreement with the crystallographic conformations. AM1 is more accurate for predicting the intramolecular C-H O hydrogen bond while PM3 gives a better geometry for the crowded nitro group. AM1 and PM3 charges of benzenic hydrogens are used to predict the propensity of these atoms to form hydrogen bonds. The noncentrosymmetric space group of the crystal (Pna2₁), the calculated dipole moment (8.88 D), and the calculated angle between molecular dipoles and the twofold axis (–49) close to the optimal value (54.7) indicate that flutamide might be a possible candidate for nonlinear optical material.     

Aminomethylene derivatives of azoles

4-Aminoethylidene and 4-aminomethylene derivatives of 5-imidazolone exist in the enamine form as two isomers that are stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the NHN and NHO type. In solution the enamine with a five-membered H ring is gradually converted to the corresponding isomer with a six-membered H ring with an NHO bond. Because of steric hindrance, rotation about the carbon-carbon double bond is realized more slowly in the aminoethylidene derivatives than in the aminomethylene derivatives of 5-imidazolone.See [1] for communication XXI.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1677–1679, December, 1978.     

The geometry of intermolecular interactions in some crystalline fluorine-containing organic compounds

The propensity of C-F groups to form C-F H-C interactions with C-H groups on other molecules has been analyzed. Crystal structures of molecules containing only carbon, hydrogen, and fluorine, but no oxygen, nitrogen, or other hydrogen-bond-forming elements, were chosen for an initial study in which the intermolecular interactions in crystal-structure determinations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their analogous fluoro derivatives were analyzed. It is found that C-F H-C interactions occur, but they are weak, as judged by the intermolecular distances and the angles involved. In a study of crystal structures of molecules containing other elements in addition to carbon, hydrogen, and fluorine, it was found that when an oxygen atom is in a neighboring position on an interacting molecule, a C-O group is more likely than a C-F group to form a linear interaction to the hydrogen atom of a C-H group. Thus, in spite of the high electronegativity of the fluorine atom, a C-F group competes unfavorably with a C-O^–, C-OH, or C=O group to form a hydrogen bond to an O-H, N-H, or C-H group. It is found, however, particularly for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with substituted CF₃ groups that, in the absence of other functional groups that can form stronger interactions, C-F H-C interactions may serve to align molecules and give a different crystal packing from that in the pure hydrocarbon (where fluorine is replaced by hydrogen). Thus, C-F H-X (X = C, N, O) interactions are very weak, much weaker than C=O H-X interactions, but they cannot be ignored in predictions of modes of molecular packing in complexes and in crystals.     

Solid state reaction between dichromates and oxalates

The thermal investigation of the reaction taking place between dichromates and oxalates in the solid state has been done taking two systems of potassium dichromate-potassium oxalate and sodium dichromate-sodium oxalate. The techniques employed include thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies. The results indicate a stoichiometric reaction of dichromate and oxalate in 11 ratio to give the corresponding chromate as the sole product.

Preparation and properties of high dispersity palladium catalysts

Preparation methods for monodisperse sols of palladium with 9, 15, 30 and 75 Å particles are suggested. It has been revealed that with decreasing size of palladium particles (d25 Å), the dissolved hydrogen species disappear. As a result, their behavior in dimethyl ethynyl carbinol hydrogenation is close to the platinum properties.

IR-Spectroscopic investigation of the hydration of tetrabutylammonium bromide in methylene chloride

The concentration dependence of the H₂O spectra in solutions of tetrabutylammonium bromide Bu₄NBr in methylene chloride was investigated by IR-spectroscopy. At low salt and H₂O concentrations the equilibrium: Br _f ^– +HOH_fBr^–HOH dominates where f indicates free or not hydrogen-bonded Br^– and H₂O. With increasing salt content, Br^–H–O–HBr^– complexes are present in addition. At high salt and H₂O content, including the saturated aqueous Bu₄NBr solution, H-bonded cyclic dimers seem to be important.Presented at the sixth Italian meeting on Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis (AICAT) held in Naples.

Thermal and infrared spectrum analyses of natural and synthetic andersonites

The thermal decompositions of natural and synthetic andersonites were studied. Two partly overlapping dehydration steps and three partly overlapping decarbonation steps were observed. The second dehydration and the first decarbonation steps also partly overlap. During decarbonation, the gradual formation of sodium diuranate and monoclinic and hexagonal phases in the Na₂U₂O₇-CaUO_4–x system was proved. The results were correlated with measured infrared spectra using site and factor group analysis and X-ray structure analysis. The chemical formula inferred for natural andersonite, Na₂Ca[UO₂(CO₃)₃] 5.6H₂O, agrees with that proposed for its synthetic analogue.

Diffusion effects in reversible energy transfer

Back energy transfer reduces the apparent quenching constant, which is an important parameter in the interpretation of energy transfer data. This determination of kinetic results may be erroneous when possible diffusion effects and non-uniform configurational distributions are not taken into account.

Structure, activity and selectivity of V2O5-TiO2 catalysts for o-xylene conversion

The formation of needle shaped crystallites of V₆O₁₃ at low V concentrations on V₂O₅-anatase coated catalysts explains the low selectivity for phthalic anhydride during o-xylene oxidation. The (010) plane of V-oxide, most active for selective oxidation of o-xylene, is not accessible and the contact of this plane with the anatase faces promotes the anatase-rutile transformation and the incorporation and blocking of V⁴⁺ ions.

The structures and thermal decomposition of cupric mono,di and trichloracetates

Magnetic moment measurements and ultra-violet diffuse reflectance spectroscopy have been used to investigate the structure of the chloroacetates of copper(II). These studies indicate that cupric monochloroacetate dihydrate is dimeric and cupric trichloracetate tetrahydrate is monomeric. Cupric dichloracetate tetrahydrate forms an intermediate case. The thermal decomposition of these compounds under nitrogen has been studied using thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis, together with analysis of the products of the decomposition. The major organic product formed in the thermal decomposition of the mono- and dichloracetates is the corresponding chlorinated acetic acid; the solid inorganic product is cuprous chloride. Thermal decomposition of the trichloracetate yields cupric chloride and a mixture of trichloracetic acid and trichloracetyl chloride.

Effect of bond energies of a catalyst with reacting atoms on the selectivity of CO hydrogenation over metals

In hydrogenation over metals (M)_j carbon monoxide is adsorbed as a molecule. C–O bond rupture in partially hydrogenated complex, MCHOH, leads to MO and MCH₂ and then to hydrocarbons, while transformation of MCHOH into MCH₂OH gives alcohols and other oxygen-containing compounds. Selectivity towards hydrocarbons increases with increasing energy of M–O bonds.
