Surprising Homolytic Gas Phase Co−C Bond Dissociation Energies of Organometallic Aryl-Cobinamides Reveal Notable Non-Bonded Intramolecular Interactions

Aryl-cobalamins are a new class of organometallic structural mimics of vitamin B₁₂ designed as potential ‘antivitamins B₁₂’. Here, the first cationic aryl-cobinamides are described, which were synthesized using the newly developed diaryl-iodonium method. The aryl-cobinamides were obtained as pairs of organometallic coordination isomers, the stereo-structure of which was unambiguously assigned based on homo- and heteronuclear NMR spectra. The availability of isomers with axial attachment of the aryl group, either at the ‘beta’ or at the ‘alpha’ face of the cobalt-center allowed for an unprecedented comparison of the organometallic reactivity of such pairs. The homolytic gas-phase bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the coordination-isomeric phenyl- and 4-ethylphenyl-cobinamides were determined by ESI-MS threshold CID experiments, furnishing (Co−C )-BDEs of 38.4 and 40.6 kcal mol⁻¹, respectively, for the two β-isomers, and the larger BDEs of 46.6 and 43.8 kcal mol⁻¹ for the corresponding α-isomers. Surprisingly, the observed (Co−C )-BDEs of the Co_β-aryl-cobinamides were smaller than the (Co−C )-BDE of Co_β-methyl-cobinamide. DFT studies and the magnitudes of the experimental (Co−C )-BDEs revealed relevant contributions of non-bonded interactions in aryl-cobinamides, notably steric strain between the aryl and the cobalt-corrin moieties and non-bonded interactions with and among the peripheral sidechains.     

A Critical Overview of Current Theoretical Methods of Estimating the Energy of Intramolecular Interactions

This article is probably the first such comprehensive review of theoretical methods for estimating the energy of intramolecular hydrogen bonds or other interactions that are frequently the subject of scientific research. Rather than on a plethora of numerical data, the main focus is on discussing the theoretical rationale of each method. Additionally, attention is paid to the fact that it is very often possible to use several variants of a particular method. Both of the methods themselves and their variants often give wide ranges of the obtained estimates. Attention is drawn to the fact that the applicability of a particular method may be significantly limited by various factors that disturb the reliability of the estimation, such as considerable structural changes or new important interactions in the reference system.

Density Functional Calculations of C–NO_2 Bond Dissociation Energies for Nitroalkanes Molecules

Bond dissociation energies for the removal of nitrogen dioxide group in some nit- roalkane energetic materials have been calculated by using the three hybrid density functional theory (DFT) methods B3LYP, B3PW91 and B3P86 with 6-31g** and 6-311g** basis sets. The computed BDEs have been compared with the available experimental results. It is found that the B3P86 method with 6-31g** and 6-311g** basis sets can obtain satisfactory bond dissociation energies (BDEs), which are in extraordinary agreement with the experimental data. Considering the smaller mean absolute deviation and maximum difference, the reliable B3P86/6-311g** method was recommended to compute the BDEs for the removal of nitrogen dioxide group in the nitroalkane energetic materials. Using the method, the BDEs of 8 other nitroalkane energetic materials have been calculated and the maximum difference from experimental value is 1.76 kcal·mol-1 (for the BDE of tC4H9–NO2), which further proves the reliability of B3P86/6-311g** method. In addition, it is noted that the BDEs of C–NO2 bond change slightly for main chain nitroalkane compounds with the maximum difference of only 3.43 kcal mol-1.

Theoretical Study of the N-NO2 Bond Dissociation Energies for Energetic Materials with Density Functional Theory

The N-NO2 bond dissociation energies （BDEs） for 7 energetic materials were computed by means of accurate density functional theory （B3LYP, B3PW91 and B3P86） with 6-31G＊＊ and 6-311G＊＊ basis sets. By comparing the computed energies and experimental results, we find that the B3P86/6-311G＊＊ method can give good results of BDE, which has the mean absolute deviation of 1.30kcal/mol. In addition, substituent effects were also taken into account. It is noted that the Hammett constants of substituent groups are related to the BDEs of the N-NO2 bond and the bond dissociation energies of the energetic materials studied decrease when increasing the number of NO2 group.     

Theoretical Study on the Dissociation of Ligands in the Rhodium and Iridium Complexes Containing 1,1,1,5,5,5-Hexafluoroacetylacetonato

Functionalization of the inert C? H bonds of unsaturated molecules by transition metal complex is an important means to form new C? C bonds. The functionalization is usually initiated by the ligand dissociation of a complex. In this paper we employ both ab initio and density functional methods to explore the influence of central metals, conformation, solvent and protonation on the ligand dissociation of the (hfac‐O,O)₂M(L)(py) complexes [M=Rh(III) or Ir(III), hfac‐O,O=k²‐O,O‐1,1,1,5,5,5‐hexafluoroacetylacetonato, L=CH₃, CH₃CO₂, (CH₃CO)₂CH, CH₃O or OH, py=pyridine]. We demonstrate that ligand pyridine dissociates more easily than the "L" ligands under study in aprotic solvent and gas phase and the dissociation of pyridine is more facile in the trans‐conformation than in the cis‐isomer. These phenomena are rationalized based on electronic structure and molecular orbital interactions. We show that solvation only slightly stabilizes the complexes and does not change the ligand dissociation ordering. In particular, we show that pyridine is no longer the labile ligand in protic media. Instead, the oxygen‐containing ligands (apart from those like hfac that form a cyclic structure with the central metal) that coordinate to the central metal via oxygen atom become the labile ones. Finally our calculations indicate that hfac is a stable ligand, even in protic media.     

Hydrogen Transfer in SAM‐Mediated Enzymatic Radical Reactions

S‐Adenosylmethionine (SAM) plays an essential role in a variety of enzyme‐mediated radical reactions. One‐electron reduction of SAM is currently believed to generate the C5′‐desoxyadenosyl radical, which subsequently abstracts a hydrogen atom from the actual substrate in a catalytic or a non‐catalytic fashion. Using a combination of theoretical and experimental bond dissociation energy (BDE) data, the energetics of these radical processes have now been quantified. SAM‐derived radicals are found to react with their respective substrates in an exothermic fashion in enzymes using SAM in a stoichiometric (non‐catalytic) way. In contrast, the catalytic use of SAM appears to be linked to a sequence of moderately endothermic and exothermic reaction steps. The use of SAM in spore photoproduct lyase (SPL) appears to fit neither of these general categories and appears to constitute the first example of a SAM‐initiated radical reaction propagated independently of the cofactor.

Fluoroalkyl Radical Generation by Homolytic Bond Dissociation in Pentacarbonylmanganese Derivatives

Thermal decarbonylation of the acyl compounds [Mn(CO)₅(COR_F)] (R_F=CF₃, CHF₂, CH₂CF₃, CF₂CH₃) yielded the corresponding alkyl derivatives [Mn(CO)₅(R_F)], some of which have not been previously reported. The compounds were fully characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods and by several single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The solution-phase IR characterization in the CO stretching region, with the assistance of DFT calculations, has allowed the assignment of several weak bands to vibrations of the [Mn(¹²CO)₄(eq-¹³CO)(R_F)] and [Mn(¹²CO)₄(ax-¹³CO)(R_F)] isotopomers and a ranking of the R_F donor power in the order CF₃<CHF₂<CH₂CF₃≈CF₂CH₃. The homolytic Mn−R_F bond cleavage in [Mn(CO)₅(R_F)] at various temperatures under saturation conditions with trapping of the generated R_F radicals by excess tris(trimethylsilyl)silane yielded activation parameters ΔH^≠ and ΔS^≠ that are believed to represent close estimates of the homolytic bond dissociation thermodynamic parameters. These values are in close agreement with those calculated in a recent DFT study (J. Organomet. Chem. 2018 , 864, 12–18). The ability of these complexes to undergo homolytic Mn−R_F bond cleavage was further demonstrated by the observation that [Mn(CO)₅(CF₃)] (the compound with the strongest Mn−R_F bond) initiated the radical polymerization of vinylidene fluoride (CH₂=CF₂) to produce poly(vinylidene fluoride) in good yields by either thermal (100 °C) or photochemical (UV or visible light) activation.

脉冲光声量热法测量n-C4H9Co(Salen)H2O的Co-C键离解能

By using photoacoustic calorimetry, a photoacoustic measurement system is applied to determine the Co-C bond dissociation energy of n C₄H₉Co(Salen)H₂O, which is 116±8kJ·mol^-1. This value is in agreement with the activation enthalpy of the Co-C bond homolytic cleavage reaction that obtained by the kinetic method.     

Dissociation energies of O-H bonds in natural antioxidants

The dissociation energies of O-H bonds in natural antioxidants were estimated from the kinetic data (rate constants of reactions of the antioxidants with the peroxy radicals). The calculations were performed using the method of intersecting parabolas. α-Tocopherol was used as a reference phenol with D _O-H = 330 kJ mol⁻¹. The following groups of antioxidants were chosen for the estimation: tocopherols, their sulfur- and selenium-containing analogs, flavones, flavanones, and gallates. The discrepancy in the D _O-H values for the same phenol by measurements of k(RO₂ ^· + ArOH) of different authors does not exceed 2 kJ mol⁻¹. The D _O-H values were calculated for 64 phenols.

与蛋白质调控DNA空穴迁移相关的具有负离解能特征的亚稳态氢键

利用密度泛函理论方法研究了作为空穴迁移载体的蛋白质复合的DNA三聚体(Protonated arginine…guanine…cytosine, ArgH⁺-GC)的氢键性质. 结果表明, 空穴迁移通过该载体单元时此类氢键表现为亚稳态, 且具有明显的负离解能. 正常情况下ArgH⁺基团在大小沟均能与GC碱对形成氢键, 且具有正的离解能. 然而, 当空穴转移至此将削弱氢键至亚稳态, 使之具有一定的离解势垒和负的离解能. 这种势垒抑制的负离解能现象意味着由于空穴俘获导致此三聚体结构单元在它的ArgH⁺…N7/O6键区储存了一定的能量(约108.78 kJ/mol). 该氢键离解通道受控于此键区两个相关组分之间的静电排斥和氢键吸引之间的平衡以及这两个相反作用随氢键距离不同的衰减速率. 基于电子密度分布的拓扑性质以及键临界点的Laplacian数值分析澄清了此类特殊的能量现象主要源自通过高能氢键(ArgH⁺…N7/O6)连接的授受体间的静电排斥. 进一步空穴俘获诱导的G→C质子转移可扩展负离解能区至ArgH⁺…N7/O6和Watson-Crick(WC) 氢键区. 另外, ArgH⁺ 结合到GC的大小沟增加其电离势, 因此削弱其空穴传导能力, 削弱程度取决于ArgH⁺与GC的距离. 推而广之, 在protonated lysine-GC和protonated histidine-GC体系也可观察到类似的现象. 显然, 此类性质可调的亚稳态氢键可调控DNA空穴迁移机理. 此工作为理解蛋白质调控的DNA空穴迁移机理提供了重要的能量学信息.     

On Feasibility of “Spectroscopic” Calculations of XH Bond Dissociation Energies for Polyatomic Molecules from Fundamental Vibration Frequencies Using the Anharmonic Molecular Model

This paper discusses the applicability of the variational technique using a minimal Morse-harmonic basis set to calculations of the fundamental spectrum and the potential function parameters for polyatomic molecules. The potential function is assumed to be the sum of the Morse function for XH bonds and the harmonic function for the skeletal and deformation vibrations. The initial approximation for the potential function is found by ab initio calculations and refined by solving the inverse mechanical problem (selecting the scaling indices). The thus selected harmonic part of the potential function gives equally good agreement between the experimental and calculated transition frequencies in both harmonic and anharmonic approximations. The anharmonic (Morse) term of the potential function (bond dissociation energy) is selected by solving the inverse mechanical problem until the best agreement between the experimental and calculated CH bond stretching frequencies has been achieved. Problem solving ends with the construction of a transmission curve in the IR spectrum. Variations of the dipole moment of the molecule induced by vibrations are found by ab initio calculations.     

“Spectroscopic” Calculation of CH and NH Bond Dissociation Energies for a Series of Primary Amines

The CH and NH bond dissociation energies were calculated by the spectroscopic method for a series of primary amines. The energies were calculated from the fundamental absorption bands in an anharmonic approximation using the Morse harmonic basis set. The results are compared with data obtained from ab initio calculations in different basis sets and experimental values. It is shown that, unlike quantum-chemical calculations, the spectroscopic method correctly reproduces the effect of the molecular structure on the CH and NH bond dissociation energies in amines.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by L.
