Spectroscopic study of organosilic on derivatives of thiophene

It is shown that the basicity of substituted thiophenes depends on the electronic effects of the substituents. The basicity of organosilicon derivatives of thiophene is determined not only by the -I effect but also by the effect of d-p interaction in the Si-ring bond. The dependence of the degree of d-p interaction on the nature of the three other substituents attached to the silicon atom is examined.See [1] for communication II.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No.8, pp.1057–1061, August, 1972.

Spectroscopic study of compounds possessing a bond of an element of group IVB with hydrogen

Conclusions The frequencies of the valence vibrations of the Si-H bond in trisubstituted silanes depends not only on the inductive effect of substituents, but also on the effects of d-p interaction, ,- and p,-conjugation. An analysis was made of the relative contributions of these effects, depending on the nature of the substituent.For the preceding communications, see [1, 2].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 544–550, March, 1971.     

Electronic structure of monosubstituted benzenes and X-ray emission spectroscopy

The electronic structure of the benzaldehyde molecule has been studied by X-ray emission spectroscopy. The gas-phase O-K- and C-K-spectra of this compound have been obtained. MNDO quantum-chemical calculations have been carried out. The structure of the MO's of benzaldehyde has been compared with those of benzene and formaldehyde molecules. The character of the p-p interaction of the phenyl and formyl fragments has been considered. The contribution of the latter to the highest occupied molecular orbitals of the-system has been shown to be small.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Investigation of the electronic effect of the diphenylphosphino group

We have synthesized meta-substituted derivatives of benzoic acid, determined their ionization constants in water-alcohol solutions of concentration 11 and 14 by volume, and calculated the Hammett constant _m of the diphenylphosphino (0.12), diphenylamino (–0.04), diphenylphosphinyl (0.40) and diphenylthiophosphinyl (0.32) groups. Unlike the diphenylamine group, the diphenylphosphino group is metaorienting, which is probably to be explained by the absence or the weak nature of p- conjugation of incomplete electron pairs on the phosphorus and the presence of an electron-acceptor effect (d-p conjugation).

Conclusions In the silanes (C₂H₅)X₃SiH and X₃SiH, the substituants X of which form d-p bonds with the silicon atom, the effect of d-p conjugation depends on the inductive and mesomeric effects of X, which change the charge on the silicon atom.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 342–347, February, 1972.The authors would like to express their gratitude to G.

Nature of the pentamethyldisilanyl group in organosilicon compounds

Summary The positige inductive effect of the pentamethyldisilanyl group (CH₃)₃SiSi(CH₃)₂ and the election-acceptor effect of its p-d bond with an aromatic ring are appreciably greater than the analogous effects of the trimethylsilyl group (CH_{3 3}Si, which gives ground for the postulation of the presence of a p-d-d¹ bond in the fragment C_sp ²-Si-Si.     

Excited Π states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes

Electron transitions in divinyl chalcogenides (CH₂=CHXCH=CH₂, where X is S, Se, or Te) have been analyzed using UV absorption spectra of dialkyl and alkyl vinyl chalcogenides. The following relations for the orbital energies are found: ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for Te and ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for S and Se. For chalcophenes, a correlation between the energy of the excited state (E ^*) of specific symmetry, the ionization potential (I) and the electron affinity (EA) is obtained:E ^*=const+(I+EA)/2. The electron affinity of divinyl chalcogenides is estimated. The correlation between the excited ^* states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 831–835, May, 1994.     

Ab initio SCF and CI study of the electronic spectrum of pyridine N-oxide

Configuration interaction (CI) studies of ground, n *, * * electronically excited states are reported for pyridine N-oxide. The transition energy to the lowest * excited ¹ B ₂ state is calculated at 4.35 eV, compared to the experimental spectrum range of 3.67–4.0 eV. This state lies below the lowest n * excited ¹ A ₂ state calculated at 4.81 eV above the ground state. The only experimentally reported triplet state at 2.92 eV above the ground state is predicted to be the ³ A ₁ (*) state. The calculated energy lies at 3.27 eV. Numerous other high-lying singlet states as well as the triplet states have also been calculated. The intramolecular charge transfer character of the ground and the excited states have been studied in terms of the calculated dipole moment and other physical properties.     

Spreading of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine on the surface of sodium deoxycholate aqueous solution

The surface pressure vs. mokcular surface area relations for dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) insoluble monolayer and sodium deoxycholate (SDC) adsorbed monolayer,L and D1, respectively, were obtained from the analyses of surface tensions measured by the Wilhelmy glass plate. Also, D1 was obtained by a drop-weight method. Next, the surface pressure time course,(t), of the SDC aq. was measured by the Wilhelmy plate before and after DPPC was spread on the liquid surface. At DPPC spreading,(t) jumped to a maximum,, and decreased along an exponential curve. The values of with various surface amounts of DPPC and bulk concentrations of SDC were analyzed using a dual surface-region model. The model enabled the estimation of. For better fitting, modified relations were constructed in place of D1. The exponential decrease of(t) was also observed on the SDC adsorbed monolayer which was rapidly compressed by a moving barrier. The(t) relaxation rate constants of the SDC monolayers which were compressed by DPPC spreading and the moving barrier agreed with each other, suggesting a desorption of SDC from the surface.

Applications of the virtual charge model to the electronic structures and spectra of benzaldehyde and acetophenone

Summary The virtual charge model (Tapia model) in conjunction with the CNDO/S-CI approximation in the frame of SCF-MO theory was employed to study the effects of solvent on the electronic structures and spectra of benzaldehyde and acetophenone molecules. The CNDO/S calculations in presence of solvation indicate a satisfactory interpretation of the medium effects on the electronic structures and spectra of the molecules investigated. The prediction of our MO calculations by means of the Tapia model concerning the solvochromic shifts of n * and * transitions are in accord with the observed trends which indicate a blue shift for the n * band and a red shift for the * band upon a change of solvent from non-polar to polar solvents.

Anwendung des Virtual Charge-Modells auf die Elektronenstrukturen und Spektren von Benzaldehyd und Acetophenon

Zusammenfassung Das Virtual-Charge-Modell (Tapia-Modell) im Zusammenhang mit der CNDO/S-CI-Näherung im Rahmen der SCF-MO-Theorie wurde zum Studium der Lösungsmitteleffekte auf die Elektronenstrukturen und Spektren von Benzaldehyd und Acetophenon herangezogen. Die CNDO/S-Rechnungen bei Anwesenheit von Solvens erlauben eine befriedigende Interpretation der Mediumeffekte auf Elektronenstrukturen und Spektren der untersuchten Verbindungen. Die aus MO-Rechnungen folgenden Voraussagen ergeben auf Basis des Tapia-Modells solvatochrome Verschiebungen für die n *- und *-Übergänge. Die vorausgesagten Effekte stehen im Einklang mit den experimentell beobachteten Trends: Blauverschiebung für die n *-Bande und Rotverschiebung für die *-Bande beim Wechsel von nichtpolarem zu polarem Lösungsmittel.

Absorption spectra and bond type in Co(II) aquoamino complexes

Absorption spectra are reported for solutions containing Co(II) and ammonia. Spectra are calculated for five Co(II) aquoamino complexes. The spectra are used to determine Dq and B, parameters of the bonds in these compounds. It is found that Dq and B change nonlinearly and nonadditively. The parameters _c, Dt, Ds, and have also been established for [Co(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and [Co(NH₃)₆]²⁺. The parameter variation can be explained if the H₂O molecules form weaker bonds to the central atom than do the NH₃ molecules, but are capable of d-p interaction.

σ-π separation: Excited H2 as a model system

The low-lying states of H₂ consist of one core () and one valence () electron and afford a direct evaluation of intershell - interaction. After resolution of the electronic energy into only, only, and - parts, it is shown that an electronic change in this model system is due solely to a change in the electrons. Simple Hückel theory is examined. If the molecular core is represented properly, regardless of the wave function the calculated and parameters are in reasonable agreement with the empirical parameters. This agreement appears to be due to a fortuitous cancellation of energy contributions.

Zusammenfassung Die niedrig liegenden -Zustände des H₂ bestehen aus einem Rumpfelektron und einem Valenzelektron und ermöglichen eine direkte Auswertung der --Wechselwirkung zwischen zwei Schalen. Nach der Zerlegung der elektronischen Energie in -,- und --Anteile wird gezeigt, daß eine elektronische Veränderung in diesem Modellsystem nur auf eine Veränderung des -Elektronenanteils zurückgeht. Die einfache Hückeltheorie wird untersucht. Wenn der Molekülrumpf geeignet dargestellt wird, so sind, unabhängig von der -Wellenfunktion, die berechneten Parameter und in guter Übereinstimmung mit den empirischen Parametern. Diese Übereinstimmung scheint auf eine starke Auslöschung von Energieanteilen zurückzugehen.

Après expression de l'énergie électronique en parties , et -, on montre qu'une modification électronique de ce système modèle est due seulement à une modification des électrons . La théorie de Hückel simple est examinée. Si le coeur moléculaire est convenablement représenté, quelle que soit la fonction d'onde , les paramètres at calculés sont en accord raisonnable avec les paramètres empiriques. Cet accord apparaît comme le résultat d'une compensation fortuite de contributions énergétiques.

The electronic spectrum of acrylonitrile

The vapor absorption spectrum of acrylonitrile CH₂CHCN has been measured in the vacuum ultraviolet region. In addition, an all-valence-electron molecular orbital calculation has been used to calculate the electronic structure and spectrum of the molecule. On the basis of the MO calculation, as well as a vibrational analysis of the observed spectrum, several electronic transitions are assigned. The lowest energy absorption band (2107Å, = 150) is assigned as an n ^* transition. Absorption bands at 2030Å (=1600), 1725Å ( = 2100), and 1570Å ( = 1920) are assigned as 0–0 bands associated with transitions that are, respectively, ^*,^*, and ^* in character.

Résumé Mesure du spectre d'absorption en phase vapeur de l'acrilonitrile CH₂CHCN dans la région de l'ultraviolet. Par ailleurs, la structure électronique et le spectre de la molécule ont été calculés à l'aide d'une méthode des orbitales moléculaires semi-empirique pour tous les électrons de valence. Sur cette base, ainsi que sur une analyse vibrationnelle du spectre expérimental, on procède à l'attribution de plusieurs transitions électroniques. La bande d'absorption de plus basse énergie (2107 Å, = 150) est attribuée à une transition n ^*. Les bandes d'absorption à 2030Å ( = 1600), 1275Å ( = 2100) et 1570Å ( = 1920) sont considérées comme des bandes 0 - 0 associées à des transitions ^*, ^* et ^* respectivement.
