Theoretical study of electronic structure of rhodium mononitride and interpretation of experimental spectra

Potential energy curves of 22 electronic states of RhN have been calculated by the complete active space second‐order perturbation theory method. The X¹Σ₀⁺ is assigned as the ground state, and the first excited state a³Π₀+ is 978 cm^?1 higher. The ¹Δ(I) and B¹Σ⁺ states are located at 9521 and 13,046 cm^?1 above the ground state, respectively. The B¹Σ⁺ state should be the excited state located 12,300 cm^?1 above the ground state in the experimental study. Moreover, two excited states, C¹Π and b³Σ⁺, are found 14,963 and 15,082 cm^?1 above the X¹Σ⁺ state, respectively. The transition C¹Π₁–X¹Σ₀⁺ may contribute to the experimentally observed bands headed at 15,071 cm^?1. There are two excited states, D¹Δ and E¹Σ⁺, situate at 20,715 and 23,145 cm^?1 above the X¹Σ⁺ state. The visible bands near 20,000 cm^?1 could be generated by the electronic transitions D¹Δ₂–a³Π₁ and E¹Σ⁺₀–X¹Σ⁺₀ because of the spin–orbit coupling effect. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A theoretical investigation of the origins of the green and red spectra of Ca2

The potential energy curves and transition moments of the ground state of Ca₂ and ¹Σ⁺_u states correlating with the ¹S + ¹P and ¹S + ¹D calcium atoms have been calculated. The calculations support the assignment of the observed emission spectra of Ca₂ in the red and in the green to transitions between the ground state and the 1,2¹Σ⁺_u states. Predissociation of the 1¹Σ⁺_u state is also shown to be possible from an interaction with the 1³Π_u state.

The combination of the analysis of vibronic structure and ab initio calculation enables us to assign the two transitions as D ¹Π←X ¹Σ⁺ and C ¹Σ⁺←X ¹Σ⁺; the origins of the D and C states are located at 16427 and 15422 cm⁻¹, and the vibrational frequencies being 151 cm⁻¹ in the D state, 115 cm⁻¹ in the C state, and 186 cm⁻¹ in the X state, respectively.     

The kinetics and mechanisms of gas phase elimination of primary,secondary, and tertiary 2‐hydroxyalkylbenzenes

2‐Phenylethanol, racemic 1‐phenyl‐2‐propanol, and 2‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐2‐propanol have been pyrolyzed in a static system over the temperature range 449.3–490.6°C and pressure range 65–198 torr. The decomposition reactions of these alcohols in seasoned vessels are homogeneous, unimolecular, and follow a first‐order rate law. The Arrhenius equations for the overall decomposition and partial rates of products formation were found as follows: for 2‐phenylethanol, overall rate log k₁(s⁻¹)=12.43−228.1 kJ mol⁻¹ (2.303 RT)⁻¹, toluene formation log k₁(s⁻¹)=12.97−249.2 kJ mol⁻¹ (2.303 RT)⁻¹, styrene formation log k₁(s⁻¹)=12.40−229.2 kJ mol⁻¹(2.303 RT)⁻¹, ethylbenzene formation log k₁(s⁻¹)=12.96−253.2 kJ mol⁻¹(2.303 RT)⁻¹; for 1‐phenyl‐2‐propanol, overall rate log k₁(s⁻¹)=13.03−233.5 kJ mol⁻¹(2.303 RT)⁻¹, toluene formation log k₁(s⁻¹)=13.04−240.1 kJ mol⁻¹(2.303 RT)⁻¹, unsaturated hydrocarbons+indene formation log k₁(s⁻¹)=12.19−224.3 kJ mol⁻¹(2.303 RT)⁻¹; for 2‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐2‐propanol, overall rate log k₁(s⁻¹)=12.68−222.1 kJ mol⁻¹(2.303 RT)⁻¹, toluene formation log k₁(s⁻¹)=12.65−222.9 kJ mol⁻¹(2.303 RT)⁻¹, phenylpropenes formation log k₁(s⁻¹)=12.27−226.2 kJ mol⁻¹(2.303 RT)⁻¹. The overall decomposition rates of the 2‐hydroxyalkylbenzenes show a small but significant increase from primary to tertiary alcohol reactant. Two competitive eliminations are shown by each of the substrates: the dehydration process tends to decrease in relative importance from the primary to the tertiary alcohol substrate, while toluene formation increases. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract

2-Arylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-1-ones undergo regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with the azomethine ylide derived from isatin and sarcosine by decarboxylative route affording a series of 1-N-methyl-spiro[2.3¹]oxindole-spiro[3.2¹¹]1¹¹, 2¹¹,3¹¹,4¹¹, -tetrahydro-naphthalen-1¹¹-one-4-aryl-pyrrolidines. 2-Arylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-1-ones also undergo cycloaddition reaction with azomethine ylide derived from paraformaldehyde and sarcosine affording a series of 1-N-methyl-spiro[3.2¹]1¹,2¹,3¹,4¹-tetrahydro-naphthalen-1¹-one-4-aryl-pyrrolidines.

Experimental and theoretical studies of the valence-shell dipole excitation spectrum and absolute photoabsorption cross section of hydrogen fluoride

Absolute cross sectional measurements are reported of the valence-shell dipole excitation spectrum of HF obtained from suitably calibrated high impact energy, small momentum transfer, electron energy-loss scattering intensities. Detailed assignments are provided of all prominent features observed on the basis of concomitant single- and coupled-channel RPAE calculations. The measured spectrum, obtained at an energy resolution of = 0.06 eV (fwhm) in the = 9 to 21 eV interval, includes a dissociative feature centered at = 10.35 eV assigned as X¹Σ⁺ → (1π^?14σ)A¹Π, as well as numerous strong, sharp bands in the = 13 to 16 eV excitation energy region. These bands are attributed on basis of the present calculations to Rydberg (1π^?1npπ)-valence (3σ^?14σ) mixing in X¹Σ⁺ → ¹Σ⁺ excitation symmetry, which gives rise to a long conventional progression, and to strong 1π → nsσ, moderate 1π → ndσ, and weak 1π → npσ Rydberg series in X¹Σ⁺ → ¹Π excitation symmetry. A weaker 1π → ndπ Rydberg series also contributes to the spectrum in X¹Σ⁺ → ¹Σ⁺ symmetry. The calculated and measured excitation energies and f numbers, particularly for the X¹Σ → (1π^?14σ)A¹Π, → (1π^?13pπ)B¹Σ⁺, → (1π^?13sσ)C¹Π, and → (3σ^?14σ)D¹Σ⁺ transitions, are in good quantitative accord, suggesting that the overall nature of the HF spectrum is generally clarified on basis of the present studies. Finally, tentative assignments are provided of weak features observed above the 1π^?1 ionization threshold. As in previously reported joint experimental and theoretical studies of the valence-shell spectrum of F₂, high-resolution optical VUV measurements and calculated potential energy curves aid in the assignment and clarification of the HF spectrum.     

Optically detected magnetic resonance study of the phosphorescent states of thiouracils

The triplet states of 1-methyl-2-thiouracil (1-Me-s²U), 1-methyl-4-thiouracil (1-Me-s²s⁴U) and 1-methyl-2,4-dithiouracil (1-Me-s² s⁴) have been investigated by optically detected magnetic resonance in zero magnetic field. The zero field splittings (ZFS) and the individual sublevel kinetic parameters are reported. The ZFS (|D|, |E|) values (in cm^?1) are found to increase in the order: 1-Me-s² U (0.2895, 0.0728) < 1-Me-s⁴U, (0.605, 0.0500) < 1-Me-s²s⁴ U (0.870, 0.0458). The triplet state lifetimes decrease in the same order, and both effects are attributed to an internal heavy atom effect of sulfur substitution. The vibronic structure of the phosphorescence emission indicates that the thiouracil phosphorescent states are ³(π, π^*). The low phosphorescence quantum yields of 1-Me-s⁴ U and of 1-Me-s²s⁴U result from radiationless decay of the triplet state rather than from inefficient intersystem crossing from the excited singlet state. The efficient radiationless decay of the triplet state appears to be a feature of the S-substitution at the 4-position of uracil. Phosphorescence polarization measurements of the individuals triplet sublevel emissions at ca. 1.2 K are consistent with 1-Me-s²U and 1-Me-s⁴U being non-planar in the phosphorescent state; the thiouracil phosphorescence from each triplet sublevel is polarized in the average plane of the distorted molecule. In the absence of σπ separability, spin—orbit mixing of ¹(π, π^*) and ³(π, π^*) states is enhanced and the radiative properties of the triplet state may be dominated by this mechanism rather than by the mixing of ¹(n, π^*), ¹(σ, π^*), or ¹(π, σ^*) with ³(π, π^* states which generally is the dominant mechanism for planar aromatic molecules.

Entropies of fusion have been derived from the experimental results.By temperature scanning starting from r.t. some solid-to-solid transitions for four alkylureas have also been detected, all hitherto unreported. Temperatures and enthalpies of transition are: for monoisopropylurea, 375.5 K and 2.31 kJ mol ⁻¹ ; for monobutylurea (two transitions), 313.1 K and 7.02 kJ mol⁻¹ , 344.9 K and 0.88 kJ mol⁻¹ ; for diethyl-1,3 urea, 339.4 K and 1.87 kJ mol⁻¹ ; for dibutyl-1,3 urea, 311.5 K and 11.10 kJ mol⁻¹.     

Kinetic spectroscopy of triplet states of benzenoid hydrocarbons using modulated Hg resonance radiation

Triplet—triplet absorption spectra in the 220–250 nm region, and rate constants for unimolecular and bimolecular decay of the lowest triplet states of simply substituted benzenes in the gas phase have been obtained using a phase modulation technique. For deuterium and methyl substitution, first order decay constants are of the same order as in benzene of 10³ s^?1, with second order decay constants of the order of 10⁷ ? mol^?1 s^?1, also as in benzene. For trifluoromethyl substitution, these rate constants increase dramatically to of the order of 10^?5 s^?1 and 10⁸ ? mol^?1 s^?1 respectively, and fluorine substitution is even more dramatic, with values in the 10⁶ s^?1 and 10⁹ ? mol^?1 s^?1 respectively.     

Ab-initio calculation of resonance states of H2O

In a dissociation attachment experiment of water, three peaks were observed at 7,9, and 12 eV. The origin of the third peak has been believed to be ²B². However, the calculated energy of this state is 0.6 eV higher than the experimental value. This discrepancy is quite large compared with the case of the lower two peaks. In this study we propose new candidates for resonant states responsible for the third peak. The configurations considered are (3a₁)^?1(3pa₁)², (3a₁)^?1(3pb₁)², (3a₁)^?1(3pb₂)², (3a₁)^?1(3pa₁)¹(3pb₁)¹, (3a₁)^?1(3pb₂)¹(3pa₁)¹, and (3a₁)^?1(3pb₂)¹(3pb₁)¹ which have the parent state (3a₁)^?1(3pa₁)¹, (3a₁)^?1(3pb₁)¹, or (3a₁)^?1(3pb₂)¹. The energy levels arising from these configurations are calculated by a method of configuration interaction. A Few resonance states, which could be responsible for the third peak, are found. New decay process of these states are proposed.     

Production of electronically excited NF by the reaction of fluorine atoms with HN3

Electronically excited NF in both the a¹Δ and b ¹Σ⁺ states hasbeen observed from the reaction of fluorine atoms with HN₃. The results suggest that fluorine atoms first abstract the hydrogen atom from HN₃, then react with the remaining N₃ to form NF^≠(a¹Δ). NF^*(b¹Σ⁺) is produced by a subsequent energy pooling reaction between NF^≠(a¹Δ) and vibrationally excited HF. The rate of the F + N₃ reaction is estimated to be ≈ 10¹² and ³ mole^?1 s^?1.     

A NMR method for the analysis of mixtures of alkanes with different deuterium substitutions

¹³C NMR at 125.76 MHz with ¹H and ²H decoupling, ²H NMR at 76.77 MHz with ¹H decoupling, and ¹H NMR at 500.14 MHz with ²H decoupling were employed as analytical tools to study the complex mixtures of deuterated ethanes resulting from the catalytic H–D exchange of normal ethane with gas-phase deuterium in the presence of a platinum foil. Reference samples consisting of 1:1 binary mixtures of pure normal ethane and ethane-d_n (n=1–6) were used to identify the peak positions in the ¹³C, ²H, and ¹H NMR spectra due to each individual isotopomer, and the effect of isotopic substitution on the chemical shifts was determined in each case. While the NMR of all three nuclei worked well for the identification of the individual components of the 1:1 standard mixtures, both ¹H and ²H NMR suffered from inadequate resolution when studying complex reaction mixtures because of the broadening of the lines due to ¹H–¹H (¹H NMR) and ²H–²H (²H NMR) couplings. ¹³C NMR was therefore determined to be the method of choice for the quantitative analysis of the reaction mixtures. Using the ¹³C NMR results, a correlation that takes into account the primary and secondary isotope substitution effects on chemical shifts was deduced. This equation was used for the identification of the individual components of the mixtures, and integration of the individual observed resonances was then employed for quantification of their composition. This study shows that ¹³C NMR with ¹H and ²H decoupling is a viable procedure for studying mixtures of deuterated ethanes. Furthermore, the additivity of the isotopic effects on chemical shifts and the transferability of the values obtained with ethane to other molecules makes this approach general for the analysis of other isotopomer mixtures.     

Effect of C7-Substituent on Self-Assembly of Chlorosomal Chlorophylls

Abstract

Bacteriochlorophyll d analogues that possessed a series of bulky substituents of OMe, OCOMe, and OCO ^t Bu at the C7¹-position were synthesized (Zn-complexes of methyl 7¹-substituted-3-(1-hydroxy-methyl)pyropheophorbide a). Aggregation behavior of these pigments was examined in comparison with a natural-type compound (C7¹-H) to elucidate the effects of size of the C7¹-moiety on self-assembly of the chlorins. These C7¹-substituted Zn-chlorins formed self-aggregates in 1% THF/hexane. The aggregates gave almost the same visible absorption bands, especially a ca. 2000-cm^?1 red-shifted Q_y peak; the spectra were essentially similar to those of the natural-type Zn-chlorin (C7¹-H). All the aggregates of the C7¹-substituted compounds showed similar exciton-type CD couplets in the red-shifted Q_y region, which were different from the feature of the couplet of the C7¹-H Zn-chlorin aggregate. These spectral data suggested that the C7¹-moiety did not interrupt the intermolecular linkages between chlorin molecules but altered the supramolecular structure which influences the long-range chirality.

Temperature dependence of the bandwidths and frequencies of some anthracene phonons. High-resolution Raman measurements

Using a coupled interferometer—spectrometer with a resolution of 0.02 cm^?1 we have measured the Raman band profiles of the four low-frequency anthracene phonons ω₁(a_g), ω₂(a_g), ω₆(b_g) and ω₇(b_g) in the temperature range 2–70 K. These phonons possess very narrow bandwidth at low temperature which are convinently measured under high resolution. In particular the two lowest-frequency phonons ω₁(a_g) and ω₆(b_g) have a bandwidth at 2 K of 0.045 cm^?1. The other two phonons ω₇(b_g) and ω₂(a_g) have bandwidths at 2 K of 0.165 and 0.4 cm^?1, respectively. A detailed analysis of the bandwidth variation with temperature was made in terms of three-phonon decay processes. The exrerimental variation of the bandwidth with temperature was correctly reproduced assuming a single down-and up-process. The following results were obtained: ω₁(a_g): 49.45 cm^?1 = 2×24.72 cm^?1, 49.45 cm^?1 = 98.45 cm^?1 ?49.0 cm^?1; ω₆(b_g): 57.50 cm^?1 = 2×28.75 cm^?1, 57.50 cm^?1 = 108.50 cm^?1 ?51.0 cm^?1; ω₇(b_g): 71.20 cm^?1 = 2×35.6 cm^?1, 71.20 cm^?1 = 120.20 cm^?1 ?49.0 cm^?1: ω₂(a_g): 82.40 cm^?1 = 57.50 cm^?1 +24.9 cm^?1, 82.40 cm^?1 = 138.4 cm^?1 ?56 cm^?1. The efficiency of the down- and up-processes is discussed in terms of the two-phonon density of states. The bandwidths at 2 K follows very closely the variation of the two-phonon sum density of states, whereas the relative importance of the up-processes follows well the two-phonon difference density of states. The anharmonic frequency shifts are corrected for the thermal expansion of the crystal using the Grüneisen single-phonon parameters and the thermal expansion coefficients given in the literature. This permits an estimation of the variation of the anharmonic shifts in the temperature range studied.
