亚汞氢氧化物Hg2(OH)2结构的理论研究

采用从头计算HF, MP2方法和密度泛函方法,选择LanL2DZ和SDD基组,对Hg₂(OH)₂的几何构型、振动频率和稳定性进行了研究,并与Hg₂F₂和Hg₂Cl₂的稳定性进行了对比.研究表明Hg的5s, 5p准内层电子参与了Hg与Hg之间的成键作用,Hg-Hg键强烈的电子相关作用使得HF方法不适用于该体系的研究.Becke的离域校正给出较大的Hg-Hg键长,而局域的DFT方法和MP2方法则给出了合理的结构参数、振动频率和能量.相对论效应使Hg-Hg键缩短24 pm,增加Hg-Hg键的强度达20%左右.Hg₂(OH)₂的稳定性与Hg₂F₂和Hg₂Cl₂的稳定性相当.虽然在气相中Hg₂L₂(L=F, Cl, OH)比其分解物HgL₂和Hg要稳定,但相对论效应降低了这种趋势.     

Theoretical studies on the structures and reactivity of stannylenoids I.The structures and isomerization of stannylenoid H_2SnLiF

The structures of singlet stannylenoid H2SnLiF have been examined by ab initio MO theory. Four equilibrium states and three transition states of isomerization reaction are located. The calculation shows that the p-complex 1 is the most stable and experimentally detectable. The other three species, three-membered ring 2, o-complex 3 and tetrahedron 4, are also local minima on the potential energy surface, but are higher in energy.     

醛基不饱和卡宾存在寿命的理论研究

采用量子化学中的的从头计算方法，在B3LYP/6-31G^**水平上研究了醛基不饱和卡宾HCO-CH=C：重排成醛基乙炔的反应机理。全优化得到了HCO-CH=C：的两种稳定构型以及对应的过渡态和产物的构型，并计算得到了各种构型的振动频率。在振动频率计算结果的基础上，采用过渡态理论计算了活化能最小的重排反应的的动力学性质，然后根据得到的反应速率常数，计算了不同温度下HCO-CH=C：的半衰期。结果表明，HCO-CH=C：的半衰期很短，室温下只有10^-13s左右。这对深入了解HCO-CH=C：的性质及其存在在寿命提供了有用的信息。     

扩展卟啉(hexaphyrins)及其金配合物结构与电子光谱的理论研究

采用HF、MP2方法和密度泛函理论BP86方法,对扩展卟啉(hexaphyrins)及2个Au+与之组成的双金属配合物的的几何结构、电子结构进行了理论研究,并采用TDDFT方法对2种体系的电子光谱等进行了计算.研究表明hexaphyrins与Au+配位使得体系出现了较为显著的电子相关效应,HF方法不适合该体系的研究,MP2方法和BP86方法给出了相近的几何结构.从简单的卟吩变化到扩展卟啉,体系结构的显著变化导致前线轨道的组成和能级也随之发生复杂的变化,因此很难用简单的四轨道模型对体系所有显著的电子跃迁给予明确的解释.由于Au+与hexaphyrins的配位对体系前线轨道的组成影响不大,因此对hexaphyrins-Au+紫外-可见光谱的计算和解析得到与hexaphyrins相似的结果.     

The performance of the new 6-31G(##) basis set: molecular structures and vibrational frequencies of transition metal carbonyls

The performance of the newly proposed 6-31G(##) basis set for calculating the equilibrium structure and vibrational frequencies of transition metal carbonyl complexes has been studied at the HF and DFT levels of theory. The 6-31G(##) basis set has been constructed by augmentation of the 6-31G basis set by diffuse and polarization functions, which are generated from the corresponding 6-31G basis AOs response functions obtained in the frame of propagator approach. The predicted values of bond distances and vibrational frequencies for the title compounds are in good agreement with the experimental data. The relative energies and HOMO-LUMO gaps were also estimated for the series of MCO complexes.     

NLO‐X (X = I–III): New Gaussian basis sets for prediction of linear and nonlinear electric properties

New adjusted Gaussian basis sets are proposed for first and second rows elements (H, B, C, N, O, F, Si, P, S, and Cl) with the purpose of calculating linear and mainly nonlinear optical (L–NLO) properties for molecules. These basis sets are new generation of Thakkar‐DZ basis sets, which were recontracted and augmented with diffuse and polarization extrabasis functions. Atomic energy and polarizability were used as reference data for fitting the basis sets, which were further applied for prediction of L–NLO properties of diatomic, H₂, N₂, F₂, Cl₂, BH, BF, BCl, HF, HCl, CO, CS, SiO, PN, and polyatomic, CH₄, SiH₄, H₂O, H₂S, NH₃, PH₃, OCS, NNO, and HCN molecules. The results are satisfactory for all electric properties tested; dipole moment (µ), polarizability (α), and first hyperpolarizability (β), with an affordable computational cost. Three new basis sets are presented and called as NLO‐I (ADZP), NLO‐II (DZP), and NLO‐III (VDZP). The NLO‐III is the best choice to predict L–NLO properties of large molecular systems, because it presents a balance between computational cost and accuracy. The average errors for β at B3LYP/NLO‐III level were of 8% for diatomic molecules and 14% for polyatomic molecules that are within the experimental uncertainty. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Theoretical investigation of the structures and properties of fluoromethyl peroxyl radicals

The equilibrium geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, charge distributions, spin density distributions, dipole moments, electron affinities (EAs), and C? O bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of HO, CH₃O, CH₂FO, CHF₂O, and CF₃O peroxyl radicals have been calculated using ab initio molecular orbital theory and density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP level. The C? H bond dissociation energies of the parent fluoromethanes have been calculated using the same levels of theory. Both the MP2(full) and B3LYP methods, using the 6‐31G(d,p) basis set, are found to be capable of accurately predicting the geometries of peroxyl radicals. Electron correlation accounts for ～25% of the C? H BDE of fluoromethanes and for ～50% of the C? O BDE of the corresponding peroxyl radicals. The B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) method is found to be comparable to high ab initio levels in predicting C? O BDEs of studied peroxyl radicals and C? H BDEs of the parent alkanes. The progressive fluorine substitution of hydrogen atoms in methyl peroxyl radicals results in shortening of the C? O bond, lengthening of the O? O bond, an increase (decrease) of the spin density on the terminal (inner) oxygen, a decrease in the dipole moments, and an increase in electron affinities. Both C? O BDEs and EAs of peroxyl radicals (RO) correlate well with Taft σ* substituent constants for the R group in peroxyl radicals. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2004

Intermediate carbene formation in the reaction of thioamides with phosphorus (III) derivatives: Quantum chemical investigation

The reactions of perfluoroalkyl thioamides with trimethyl phosphine, trimethyl phosphite, and tris(dimethylamino)phosphine have been analyzed by means of quantum chemical (DFT and MP2) calculations. The reaction seems to proceed via the nucleophilic attack of the electrophilic carbon atom by the phosphorus lone pair with the formation of cyclic or acyclic adducts. The latter releases the thiophosphate molecule forming perfluoroalkylaminocarbene as the short‐lived intermediate. The reaction of the carbene with the second molecule of trialkyl phosphite yields phosphorus ylide. The ylide undergoes a migration of fluorine from carbon to phosphorus. The reactions of perfluoroalkyl thioamides with phosphines and tris(dimethylamino)phosphine probably proceeds differently. Using alkyl thioamides or amides instead of perfluoroalkyl thioamides also makes the reaction less favorable. The only combination of perfluoroalkyl thioamides with trialkyl phosphite fulfills both the kinetic requirements (moderate activation energies and relative energies for intermediates) and the thermodynamic aspects (higher stabilities of the reaction products compared with the starting materials). © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio investigations of the electronic and molecular structures of the monomer and the dimer of trimethylaluminium

The electronic and molecular structures of the monomer and dimer of trimethylalu-minium have been studied using density functional theory and ab initio MP2 method. The optimized geometry of the monomer Al(CH3)3 is of C3h symmetry, whereas that of the dimer [A1(CH3)3]2 contains a carbon-bridged four-membered ring structure with C2h symmetry. The hydrogen-bridged six-membered ring structure is found to be unstable. The calculated dimerization energy for the four-membered ring structure is 78 kJ/mol, in close proximity to the experimental value of 85.27 kJ/mol.

Theoretical studies on the structures and isomerization of the LiSiF_3 system

Various possible isomers of LiSiF_3 system and isomerization between them have been studied at G2(MP2) level using ab initio calculations. The relative energies of four minimum points on the potential energy surface are -128.6, -194.3, -12.7 and -122.8 kJ/mol (taking the sum of the energies of LiF and SiF_2 as zero) . The structural energy of the four-membered ring that contains three F-Si-F-Li four-membered rings with C_(3v) symmetry is the lowest. The highest potential barrier for the isomerization of the remaining three-or four-membered structure is 12.5 kJ/mol.     

Interaction of angelicin with DNA‐bases (III) DFT and ab initio second‐order Moeller–Plesset study

Angelicin geometry was optimized at MP2/6‐31+G(d,p) level and compared with X‐ray experimental data. The highest π‐electron density was found to be localized on C1? C2 and on C13? C14 as confirmed by the calculated bond length and bond order values. Spectrophptometric properties of angelicin were measured and compared with the computed within the TD‐DFT. Quantum chemical methods were used to study the interaction of angelicin, as a nonlinear furocoumarin, with DNA bases and base pairs. The interactions with DNA bases and base pairs were studied to shade more light on the nature of the intercalation binding forces between angelicin and DNA. Comparing computed electronic properties of angelicin with that of linear psoralens show that the former is a weaker intercalator. The geometry of complexes of angelicin with adenine, thymine, adenine–thymine base pair, cytocine, guanine as well as cytocine–guanine base pair have been optimized in two main orientations, planar and stacked, at the levels of B3LYP/cc‐pVDZ, MP2/6‐31G(d,p) and MP2/cc‐pVDZ. Effect of vertical distance and rotational angle between the stacked molecules on the interaction energy were investigated by the aforementioned methods in gas phase and water media. It was found that ab initio methods which account for the electron correlation effects are the minimum level for studying the noncovalent interactions. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Theoretical study on second‐order nonlinear optical properties of spin crossover Fe(III) phenolate‐pyridyl Schiff base complexes

The density functional and ab initio theory were used to investigate the second‐order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of Schiff base ligands, open‐shell Fe(III), and closed‐shell Ni(II) complexes. The effect of the metal center in complexes is thus manifold: it templates the formation of acentric structures, imparts high thermal stability to the chelate ring, and display higher second‐order NLO response than their ligands. The second‐order NLO response of metal complexes are intensively sensitive to the exchange donor/acceptor because the differences of the extent of charge separation and the intraligand charge transfer processes. Thus, substituted metal complexes could realize “switches on” the second‐order NLO response by exchange donor/acceptor. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2010     

Theoretical investigation of unimolecular decomposition channels of furan4

Density functional theory and high-level ab initio calculations were carried out to investigate three unimolecular decomposition channels of furan. All equilibrium and transition state structures along the proposed decomposition channels are fully optimized by B3LYP/6-31G** and characterized at the same level of theory by vibrational and intrinsic reaction coordinate analyses. Relative energies of the optimized structures were evaluated at theoretical levels up to QCISD(T)/6-311++G**. The theoretical results suggest that the unimolecular decomposition channel of isoxazole, proposed in an experimental study and implied to be the main decomposition channel of furan, is responsible only for the formation of HC(TRIPLE BOND)CH and H₂O(DOUBLE BOND)C(DOUBLE BOND)O, minor products of furan thermal decomposition. A new decomposition mechanism, proposed in the present study, is shown to be more likely responsible for the formation of CH₃C(TRIPLE BOND)CH and CO, major products of furan thermal decomposition. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

平面四方金属苯配合物的非线性光学性质的从头算研究

反位平面四方型过渡金属有机配合物[XM(PEt₃)₂-C₆H₄-R] (M＝Pd, Pt; X＝Br, I; R＝NO₂, CHO), 已被测定有较高的非线性光学系数. 本工作采用从头算方法对该配合物的结构和非线性光学性质进行研究. 构型在MP2/Lanl2DZ水平优化. 对基组进行慎重选择后, 认为应该在赝势价分裂基Lanl2DZ的基础上添加弥散函数和极化函数. 弥散函数按几何级数规则增加, 极化函数的指数应取低一个角量子数的基函数中最弥散的两个函数的指数的比例中项. 本工作的SCF水平计算表明苯的对位取代基R的吸电子能力越强, 金属对位配体X的电负性越强, 则配合物的超极化率越大.     

Theoretical dynamic studies on the reactions of CH3C(O)CH3-nCl(n) (n = 0-3) with the chlorine atom

The theoretical investigations were performed on the reaction mechanisms for the title reactions CH(3)C(O)CH(3) + Cl --> products (R1), CH(3)C(O)CH(2)Cl + Cl --> products (R2), CH(3)C(O)CHCl(2) + Cl --> products (R3), and CH(3)C(O)CCl(3) + Cl --> products (R4) by ab initio direct dynamics approach. Two different reaction channels have been found: abstract of the H atom from methyl (--CH(3)) group or chloromethyl (--CH(3-n)Cl(n)) group of chloroacetone and addition of a Cl atom to the carbon atom of the carbonyl group of chloroacetone followed by methyl or chloromethyl eliminations. Because of the higher potential energy barrier, the contribution of addition-elimination reaction pathway to the total rate constants is very small and thus this pathway is insignificant in atmospheric conditions. The rate constants for the H-abstraction reaction channels are evaluated by using canonical variational transition state theory incorporating with the small-curvature tunneling correction. Theoretical overall rate constants are in good agreement with the available experimental values and decrease in the order of k(1) > k(2) > k(3) > k(4). The results indicate that for halogenated acetones the substitution of halogen atom (F or Cl) leads to the decrease in the C--H bond reactivity and more decrease of reactivity is caused by F-substitution.

Theoretical determination of the differential polarizability and anisotropy of alkaline earth oxide nanoclusters (BeO)n [n = 2–9]: The basis set and electron correlation effects

As an important lineage of metal oxides, alkaline earth oxides have attracted significant interest due to their unique properties and potential applications in material science and industry. In this article, we present the first ab initio (HF, MP2, and CCSD(T)) and density functional theory (TPSSh functional) investigation on the optical properties such as polarizabilities per atom (PPA), differential polarizability per unit (DPPU), and anisotropies of (BeO)_n [n = 2–9] nanoclusters as an illustrative example of alkaline earth oxides nanostructures. Basis set augmentation effects on the studied properties of BeO nanoclusters have been explored by using basis sets of triple‐zeta quality starting from 6‐311G with increasing completeness of the diffuse and polarization functions to the 6‐311+G(3df) basis. Checking carefully the basis set effects, it is shown that the 6‐311+G(3d) basis set provides the best compromise between the accuracy and computational cost. We found a decreasing trend for PPA values of BeO nanoclusters using all considered methods, indicating the strong electron delocalization with increasing cluster size. Moreover, in accordance with the energetic analysis of stability of BeO nanoclusters, the values of PPA show that the (BeO)₄ and (BeO)₆ clusters are the most stable magic numbers compared to the neighbors, satisfying the minimum polarizability principle. The computed values of DPPU demonstrate a strong binding effect in BeO nanoclusters. Taking into account the electron correlation correction (ECC), it is observed that the variations of ECC on dipole polarizabilities are almost smooth for clusters under study. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
