A titration microcalorimeter and the vesicle of mixed surfactants

A titration microcalorimeter with the sample cells of 1 mL and 3 mL volume was constructed by combining LKB-2107 ampule microcalorimeter with an improved Thermometric titration microcalorimeter. Its sensitivity and precision were tested with the baseline noise and stability, the measurement of energy equivalent, and the linear relation of electric energy and integral area as the function of voltage (V)-time (f). Its accuracy was demonstrated by measuring the dilution enthalpy of a concentrated sucrose solution and the micelle-forming enthalpy of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in aqueous solution respectively. At the same time, the enthalpy of interaction between SDS and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) was measured by using the titration microcalorimeter, and the phase behavior of SDS-DDAB aqueous mixture was discussed. The microcalorimetric results show that the enthalpy of interaction between SDS and DDAB micelles is -29.53 kJ/mol, the enthalpy of formation of 1:1 SDS-DDAB salt is -125.8 kJ/mol,     

Intermolecular interaction between squarylium cyanine and porphyrin

In this paper, the interaction between squarylium cyanine and porphyrin in chloroform is investigated by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Emphasis has been put on the mechanism of intermolecular energy transfer. The overlap integral J between the absorption spectrum of squarylium cyanine and the fluorescence spectrum of porphyrin was calculated, which reveals that the singlet-singlet energy transfer may occur from porphyrin to squarylium cyanine in solution. In comparison of the observed rate constant [kqII=6.1 ×1013 (mol/L)-1·s-1] for fluorescence quenching of porphyrin by squarylium cyanine with the diffusion rate constant in chloroform [kdif=1.1×1010 (mol/L)-1·s-1] and the rate of energy transfer [ket≤6.7×104 (mol/L)-1·s-1 in the experimentally dilute solutions] estimated from Forster formula, the possibility of energy transfer by electron exchange or/and coulombic mechanism could be excluded. So it has been definitely convinced that the intermolecuiar energy transfer between them is     

Ab initio study on the mechanism of reaction HNCO+NH_2

Ab initio UMP2 and UQCISD(T) calculations, with 6-311G** basis sets, were performed for the titled reactions. The results show that the reactions have two product channels: NH2+ HNCO→NH3+NCO (1) and NH2+HNCO-N2H3+CO (2), where reaction (1) is a hydrogen abstraction reaction via an H-bonded complex (HBC), lowering the energy by 32.48 kJ/mol relative to reactants. The calculated QCISD(T)//MP2(full) energy barrier is 29.04 kJ/mol, which is in excellent accordance with the experimental value of 29.09 kJ/mol. In the range of reaction temperature 2300-2700 K, transition theory rate constant for reaction (1) is 1.68 × 1011- 3.29 × 1011 mL · mol-1· s-1, which is close to the experimental one of 5.0 ×1011 mL× mol-1· s-1 or less. However, reaction (2) is a stepwise reaction proceeding via two orientation modes, cis and trans, and the energy barriers for the rate-control step at our best calculations are 92.79 kJ/mol (for cis-mode) and 147.43 kJ/mol (for trans-mode), respectively, which is much higher than

A fully ab initio potential energy surface for C1H_2 reactive system

An ab initio analytical potential energy surface called BW3 for the CIH2 reactive system is presented. The fit of this surface is based on about 1 200 ab initio energy points, computed with multi-reference configuration interaction(MRCI) and scaling external correlation (SEC) method and a very large basis set. The precision in the fit is very high. The BW3 surface could reproduce correctly the dissociation energy of H2 and HCI, and the endothermicity of the Cl H2 abstraction reaction. For the Cl H2 abstraction reaction, the saddle point of BW3 lies in collinear geometries, and the barrier height is 32.84 kJ/mol; for the H CIH exchange reaction, the barrier of BW3 is also linear, with a height of 77.40 kJ/mol.     

Theoretical Studies on the Hydrogen Bond Transfer and Proton Transfer between Anamorphoses of the Dihydrated Glycine Complex

The conversion between anamorphoses of the dihydrated glycine complex was studied by means of B3LYP/6-31++G**. It was found that proton transfer was accompanied by hydrogen bond transfer in the process of conversion between different kinds of anamorphoses. With proton transfer, the electrostatic action was notably increased and the hydrogen-bonding action was evidently strengthened when the dihydrated neutral glycine complex converts into dihydrated zwitterionic glycine complex. The activation energy required for hydrogen bond transfer between dihydrated neutral glycine complexes is very low (6.32 kJ·mol-1); however, the hydrogen bond transfer between dihydrated zwitterionic glycine complexes is rather difficult with the required activation energy of 13.52 kJ·mol-1 due to the relatively strong electrostatic action. The activation energy required by proton transfer is at least 27.33 kJ·mol-1, higher than that needed for hydrogen bond transfer. The activation energy for either hydrogen bond transfer or proton transfer is in the bond-energy scope of medium-strong hydrogen bond, so the four kinds of anamorphoses of the dihydrated glycine complex could convert mutually.     

ELECTRONIC ENERGY BAND STRUCTURE OF MOLECULAR CRYSTALS MCI·(TCNQ)_2 AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ELECTRICAL CONDUCTION

The structure of electronic energy bands, electric charge distribution and the amount of charge transfer of molecular crystals 1-MCI·(TCNQ)_2 (Ⅰ) and 2-MCI· (TCNQ)_2 (Ⅱ) have been studied. The results are: (ⅰ) The dominant contributions to the electrical conductivities for crystals Ⅰ and Ⅱ are from TCNQ molecular columns, and the charge carriers are electrons. (ⅱ) The electrical conduction is mainly due to the hopping of charge carriers between the seats of lattice. (ⅲ) The considerable difference of the electrical conductivities between crystals Ⅰ and Ⅱ is due to the differences between (a) the concentrations of charge carriers n_(AⅠ)~C= 0.9988-|e|/cell and n_(AⅡ)~C=0.0340-|e|/cell; (b) the widths of the energy bands △E_(AⅠ)~(LU)=0.88 eV and △E_(AⅡ)~LU=0.040 eV; (c) the first derivative of E with respect to k, (dE/dk)_(K_FAⅠ)~(LU)=0.27 eV· and (dE/dk)_(K_FAⅡ)~LU=0.0048 eV·; and (d) the difference of energy barriers for the hopping of charge carriers ∈_Ⅱ-∈Ⅰ=2.5-8.8 kJ/mol.
