Statistical theory for hydrogen bonding fluid system of A_aD_d type (I): The geometrical phase transition

The influence of hydrogen bonds on the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen bonding fluid system of AaDd type is investigated from two viewpoints by the principle of statistical mechanics. In detail, we proposed two new ways that can be used to obtain the equilibrium size distribution of the hydrogen bonding clusters, and derived the analytical expression of a relationship between the hydrogen bonding free energy and hydrogen bonding degree. For the nonlinear hydrogen bonding systems, it is shown that the sol-gel phase transition can take place under proper conditions, which is further proven to be a kind of geometrical phase transition rather than a thermodynamic one. Moreover, several problems associated with the geometrical phase transition and liquid-solid phase transition in nonlinear hydrogen bonding systems are discussed.

Supramolecular ligand-ligand and ligand-substrate interactions for highly selective transition metal catalysis

The use of non covalent supramolecular ligand-ligand and ligand-substrate interactions in transition metal-catalysed transformations is a new, rapidly emerging area of research. Non-covalent interactions between monodentate ligands such as hydrogen bonding, coordinative bonding, ion pairing, π-π interactions and the formation of inclusion compounds, have been shown to impart higher activity and chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity to the corresponding transition metal complexes in a number of catalytic applications. Analogously, supramolecular ligand-substrate interactions, and particularly hydrogen bonding, have been used to direct the regio- and stereochemistry of several metal-catalysed reactions. The catalytic systems relying on supramolecular interactions are generally capable of self-assembling from simpler components in the environment where catalysis is to take place, and are therefore very well-suited for combinatorial catalyst discovery strategies and high-throughput screening.     

Equation of state modeling of the phase equilibria of ionic liquid mixtures at low and high pressure

Accurate design of processes based on ionic liquids (ILs) requires knowledge of the phase behavior of the systems involved. In this work, the truncated perturbed chain polar statistical associating fluid theory (tPC-PSAFT) is used to correlate the phase behavior of binary and ternary IL mixtures. Both non-polar and polar solvents are examined, while methyl imidazolium ILs are used in all cases. tPC-PSAFT accounts explicitly for weak dispersion interactions, highly directive polar interactions between permanent dipolar and quadrupolar molecules and association between hydrogen bonding molecules. For mixtures of non-polar solvents, tPC-PSAFT predicts accurately the binary mixture data. For the case of polar solvents, a binary interaction parameter is fitted to the experimental data and the agreement between experiment and correlation is very good in all cases.     

Probing the limits of rate acceleration mediated by hydrogen bonds

[Structure: see text] A simple receptor and substrate are used to probe the relationship between transition-state charge and the level of rate acceleration that can be created by stabilizing the transition state through hydrogen bonding. Pericyclic reactions are accelerated less than 2-fold by the receptor, whereas a conjugate addition reaction is accelerated more than 30-fold. Therefore, substrate polarization by hydrogen bonding would only appear to be effective for reactions that generate significant charge at the transition state.     

Self-consistent field theory for lipid-based liquid crystals: hydrogen bonding effect

A model to describe the self-assembly properties of aqueous blends of nonionic lipids is developed in the framework of self-consistent field theory (SCFT). Thermally reversible hydrogen bonding between lipid heads and water turns out to be a key factor in describing the lyotropic and thermotropic phase behavior of such systems. Our model includes reversible hydrogen bonding imposed in the context of the grand canonical ensemble and exact conditions of binding equilibrium. The lipid molecules are modeled as a rigid head and a flexible Gaussian tail, and the water molecules are treated explicitly. Here, we focus on systems where the lipid molecule has a relatively small hydrophilic head compared to the hydrophobic tail, such as monoolein in water. Experimentally, this system has both normal phase sequences (inverted hexagonal to inverted double gyroid cubic phase) and reverse phase sequences (lamellar to inverted double gyroid cubic phase) as the water volume fraction increases. From SCFT simulations of the model, two phase diagrams corresponding to temperature independent or dependent interaction parameters chi are constructed, which qualitatively capture the phase behavior of the monoolein-water mixture. The lattice parameters of the simulated mesophases are compared with the experimental values and are found to be in semiquantitative agreement. The role of various structural and solution parameters on the phase diagrams is also discussed.     

Thermodynamics of systems of (oxy)alcohols and (poly)ethers

In this work, as a contribution to the study of alkanol-alkane-ether systems, we study the systems containing hydroxyl and ether groups either in separate molecules or in the same molecule. Typical cases are: Pure oxyalkanols, alkanes + oxyalkanols, alkanols + ethers, alkanols + polyethers, and alkanols + monoethers of poly(ethylene glycol). The presence of the hydroxyl and ether groups in these systems gives rise to two types of hydrogen bonds: a self-association, or OH---OH interaction and a cross-association, or OH---O interaction. In the general case these interactions give rise to multiple hydrogen bonding structures or association network structures. Because of this the widely used association theories which invoke the presence of simple association complexes (dimers, trimers, etc.) are not easily applicable to these systems. In this work we discuss the use of a generalized statistical thermodynamic formalism for the hydrogen bonding of molecules having any number of hydroxyl and/or ether groups. It is based on a recently developed equation-of-state type theory of hydrogen bonding networks in fluid systems. This formalism is subsequently reduced to the typical cases mentioned before. Experimental literature data are used for testing both the pure component- and the mixture - formalism.     

Toward a prediction of the phase behavior of polyamide blends

As we have reported recently, the application of association models has provided a theoretical basis for the calculation of the free energy changes and phase diagrams of binary polymer blends in which hydrogen bonding plays a significant role. Here we report theoretical calculations of spinodal phase diagrams of a series of polyisophthalamide-polyether blends and compare the predictions with experimental observations of the miscibility of these polymer blend systems. The general agreement between theory and experiment is very encouraging and has important ramifications to discussions of polymer-induced crystallnity, the minimum number of hydrogen bonding sites necessary to ensure significant molecular mixing, and the effect of hydrogen bonding on the breadth of “miscibility windows.”     

Duality of Orbital‐Symmetry‐Allowed Transition States for Thermal Sigmatropic Hydrogen Shifts in Transition Metal Compounds

Herein, the Zimmerman Möbius/Hückel concept is extended to pericyclic reactions involving transition metals. While sigmatropic hydrogen shifts in parent hydrocarbons are either uniquely antarafacial or suprafacial, we have shown by theoretical orbital topology considerations and quantum chemical computations at DFT level that both modes of stereoselectivity must become allowed in the same system as a consequence of Craig–Möbius‐type orbital arrays, in which a transition metal d orbital induces a phase dislocation in metallacycles. This may have fundamental implications for the understanding of reactivity and bonding in organometallic chemistry.     

Influence of hydrogen bonding on hydrogen-atom abstraction reactions of dehydropyridinium cations in the gas phase

The reactions of several substituted, positively charged dehydropyridinium cations with cyclohexane, methanol, and tetrahydrofuran have been examined in a Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. All of the charged monoradicals react with the neutral reagents exclusively via hydrogen atom abstraction. For cyclohexane, there is a good correlation between the reaction efficiencies and the calculated electron affinities at the radical sites; that is, the greater the electron affinity of the charged monoradical at the radical site, the faster the reaction. The reaction efficiencies with methanol and tetrahydrofuran, however, do not correlate with the calculated electron affinities. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that for these reagents a stabilizing hydrogen bonding interaction exists in the hydrogen atom abstraction transition states for some of the charged monoradicals but not for others. At both the MPW1K and G3MP2B3 levels of theory, there is a good correlation between the calculated activation enthalpies and the observed reaction efficiencies, although the G3MP2B3 method provides a slightly better correlation than the MPW1K method. The extent of enhancement in the reaction efficiencies caused by the hydrogen bonding interactions parallels the calculated hydrogen bond lengths in the transition states.     

Hydrogen Migration in Transition Metal Alkyne and Related Complexes

The electronic and structural characteristics of the reaction interconverting a l-alkyne complex into a vinylidene via a 1,2 hydrogen shift are examined. In a mononuclear system, initial slippage of the alkyne to an η¹ geometry is indicated. The subsequent step is shown to be analogous to the isomerization of a methylvinyl cation. We conclude that an alternative route involving a hydrido-acetylide species will be of much higher energy. A concerted shift in binuclear and trinuclear systems is ruled out, based on the loss of a strong bonding interaction between the alkyne and the metallic piece, in the transition state. In trinuclear systems, a mechanism for the isomerization is suggested involving prior oxidative addition of the C? H bond across a metal-metal bond. The metallic piece in this case assists the transformation. The discussion is extended to other reactions featuring hydrogen shifts; these include the intramolecular formation of a binuclear vinylidene from a 1,2-hydrido-acetylide complex, the isomerization of a binuclear μ-alkylidyne into a μ-vinyl geometry and the transfer of a bridging hydrogen onto a capping hydrocarbon fragment in trinuclear cluster complexes.     

Revisiting the carboxylic acid dimers in aqueous solution: interplay of hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and entropy

Carboxylic acid dimers are useful model systems for understanding the interplay of hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic effects, and entropy in self-association and assembly. Through extensive sampling with a classical force field and careful free energy analysis, it is demonstrated that both hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions are indeed important for dimerization of carboxylic acids (except formic acid). The dimers are only weakly ordered, and the degree of ordering increases with stronger hydrophobic interactions between longer alkyl chains. Comparison of calculated and experimental dimerization constants reveals a systematic tendency for excessive self-aggregation in current classical force fields. Qualitative and quantitative information on the thermodynamics of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions derived from these simulations is in excellent agreement with existing results from experiment and theory. These results provide a verification from first principles of previous estimations based on two statistical mechanical hydrophobic theories. We also revisit and clarify the fundamental statistical thermodynamics formalism for calculating absolute binding constants, external entropy, and solvation entropy changes upon association from detailed free energy simulations. This analysis is believed to be useful for a wide range of applications including computational studies of protein-ligand and protein-protein binding.     

Liquid crystalline order in fluids with hydrogen bonds

A mean-field theory of liquid crystalline ordering in hydrogen bonded liquids is proposed. It is shown that hydrogen bonds may cause liquid crystalline ordering. For a simple example of spherical molecules containing hydrogen bonding functional groups the existence of a nematic phase is predicted and the thermodynamics of the phase transition is discussed.     

New insights into the transitional behaviour of methyl-6-O-(n-dodecanoyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside using variable temperature FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction

The liquid crystalline behaviour of methyl-6-O-(n-dodecanoyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside, 1, has been characterised using X-ray diffraction and variable temperature Fourier transform infrared (FTIR spectroscopy). 1 exhibits a monotropic interdigitated smectic A phase consisting of bilayers in which the alkyl chains are overlapped. The crystal–isotropic transition is accompanied by a pronounced decrease in the strength of the hydrogen bonding network involving the sugar groups resulting in a marked change in the environment of the alkyl chains. The isotropic phase consists of disordered smectic-like domains stabilised via hydrogen bonding between the sugar groups. At the transition to the smectic A phase, a subtle change in hydrogen bonding is observed which is manifested by a change in the temperature dependence of the OH stretching peak position in the FTIR spectrum. On crystallisation, the strong hydrogen bonding network is re-established accompanied by a change in the conformational distribution of the alkyl chains. A model is proposed in which a combination of hydrogen bonding (enthalpic effects) and conformational arrangements (entropic effects) promotes initially the formation of smectic-like domains in the isotropic phase and subsequently stabilises the smectic A phase by inhibiting the microphase separation leading to the crystal phase.

Nonclassical Aryl Radicals: Intermediates or Transition States for the Hydrogen Shift Reactions?

Electronic properties of aryl radicals obtained by removing single hydrogen atoms from the sterically congested regions of benzo[c]phenanthrene, biphenyl, triphenylene, phenanthrene, and perylene are studied at the UBLYP/6-311G level of theory. Two structures are considered by each radical, the classical one involving a C-H.C arrangement of atoms and the nonclassical one possessing a three-center C-H-C linkage. The five nonclassical radicals under study are found to be transition states for degenerate 1,4- and 1,5-hydrogen shift reactions that interconvert the classical species. However, the results of the present calculations indicate that the nonclassical structures with the C-H distances in the C-H-C linkages shorter than 1.34 ? should be energy minima representing potentially observable chemical systems. The predicted energy barrier to the 1,5-hydrogen shift in the 1-benzo[c]phenanthrenyl radical is only 9.3 kcal/mol (6.1 kcal/mol with the zero-point energies included), making the hydrogen migration in this system facile at relatively low temperatures. Rigorous analysis of the computed electronic wave functions provides a clear-cut picture of bonding in both the classical and nonclassical aryl radicals.
