F-+CH3Cl→CH3F+Cl-反应过程中的分子形貌变化

双分子亲核(SN2)反应是重要的基本有机反应之一,其中电子从亲核基团向离去基团的转移发挥着关键作用.利用从头计算方法CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ和我们发展的分子形貌理论,对反应F-+CH3Cl→CH3F+Cl-进行了研究,给出了反应过程中分子形状和电子转移的动态变化图像.结果表明,沿内禀反应坐标,从反应开始到生成反应前复合物,亲核试剂F-的分子内禀特征轮廓在缓慢收缩,而其上的电子密度在缓慢增大.此后,F的轮廓迅速膨胀,电子密度急剧下降,尤其是从过渡态到产物复合物的过程中.而在反应过程中,离去基团Cl的轮廓一直在收缩,其上的电子密度一直在增大.对反应过程中电子所受到作用势的研究表明,随着反应的进行,电子在F与C间受到的作用势逐渐降低,而在C与Cl间受到的作用势逐渐升高,清楚地展现反应过程中F与C间化学键生成和C与Cl间化学键断裂的动态过程.

Density functional study of the enzymatic reaction catalyzed by a cyclin-dependent kinase

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to study the molecular mechanism of the phosphoryl transfer reaction catalyzed by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). The DFT study presented here shows that CDKs catalyze the phosphoryl transfer reaction from ATP to the serine substrate through a single step mechanism with a SN2-like transition state.     

Single crystal morphology and structural data of a series of polyesters derived from 1,8-octanediol

The morphology of solution grown single crystals of a series of polyesters derived from 1,8-octanediol and either an even or an odd dicarboxylic acid has been investigated. Different crystallization conditions (solvent and temperature) were tested for these polyesters whose dicarboxylate unit varied from pimelate to sebacate. Crystals showed a lozenge morphology with a degree of truncation which for a given solvent changed with the crystallization temperature. Curvature of growth faces, striations on the lamellar surface and a bilayered morphology were features that were observed in some cases. Polyethylene decoration highlighted a crystal sectorization and suggested a molecular folding parallel to the crystal growth faces.The studied polyesters always showed a single crystalline structure, according to electron and X-ray diffraction data. A practically all trans molecular conformation could always be deduced. Unit cell geometry changed from orthorhombic to monoclinic and the molecular content was variable in the studied series (two or four molecular segments).Lamellae gave rise to well-defined electron diffraction patterns that allowed the setting angle of molecular segments to be determined. A good agreement between simulated and experimental hk0 diffraction patterns was always found. Packing along the chain axis direction was completely defined for the sebacate derivative.     

Theoretical study on the identity ion pair SN2 reactions of LiX with CH3SX (X=Cl, Br, and I): structure, mechanism, and potential energy surface

Three archetypal ion pair nucleophilic substitution reactions at the methylsulfenyl sulfur atom LiX+CH3SX-->XSCH3+LiX (X=Cl, Br, and I) are investigated by the modified Gaussian-2 theory. Including lithium cation in the anionic models makes the ion pair reactions proceed along an SN2 mechanism, contrary to the addition-elimination pathway occurring in the corresponding anionic nucleophilic substitution reactions X-+CH3SX-->XSCH3+X-. Two reaction pathways for the ion pair SN2 reactions at sulfur, inversion and retention, are proposed. Results indicate the inversion pathway is favorable for all the halogens. Comparison of the transition structures and energetics for the ion pair SN2 at sulfur with the potential competition ion pair SN2 reactions at carbon LiX+CH3SX-->XCH3+LiXS shows that the SN2 reactions at carbon are not favorable from the viewpoints of kinetics and thermodynamics.

A new class of SN2 reactions catalyzed by protic solvents: Facile fluorination for isotopic labeling of diagnostic molecules

Aprotic solvents are usually preferred for the SN2 reactions, because nucleophilicity and hence SN2 reactivity are severely retarded by the influence of the partial positive charge of protic solvents. In this work, we introduce a remarkable effect of using tertiary alcohols as a reaction medium for nucleophilic fluorination with alkali metal fluorides. In this novel synthetic method, the nonpolar protic tert-alcohol enhances the nucleophilicity of the fluoride ion dramatically in the absence of any kind of catalyst, greatly increasing the rate of the nucleophilic fluorination and reducing formation of byproducts (such as alkenes, alcohols, or ethers) compared with conventional methods using dipolar aprotic solvents. The great efficacy of this method is a particular advantage in labeling radiopharmaceuticals with [18F]fluorine (t1/2 = 110 min) for positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging, and it is illustrated by the synthesis of four [18F]fluoride-radiolabeled molecular imaging probes-[18F]FDG, [18F]FLT, [18F]FP-CIT, and [18F]FMISO-in high yield and purity and in shorter times compared to conventional syntheses.     

Electrocatalysis of Oxygen Evolution Reaction on Ti/SnO2+ RuO2+ MnO2/MnO2 Electrode in Sulfuric Acid Solution

The Ti-Supported MnO_2 electrode was modified by introducing SnO_2+RuO_2+MnO_2 as an intermediate layer into the Ti/MnO_2 interface. The anodic polarization curves were measured at various temperatures ranging from 30 to 80℃ and the activation energy for the oxygen evolution reaction was evaluated. The experimental activation energy increased linearly with increasing the overpotential. The activation energy at the equilibrium potential was linearly correlated with the difference between the crystal field stabilization energies of Mn~(4+) at initial state and Mn~(4+) at transition state. The electrocatalysis characteristics of the anode were discussed by means of the mechanism of the substitution reaction of the ligand(S_N1 and S_N2) and molecular orbital theory. The results show that the anode has better electrocatalystic characteristics.     

Some aspects of doping mechanism in Polyschwefelnitrid (SN)x

(SN)x crystals doped with iodine atoms showed ten or more additional diffuse streaks perpendicular to the b^*-axis, appearing between the layer lines of the electron diffraction pattern of pristine (SN)x. However, only four of these were observed in the X ray diffraction pattern. These four diffuse streaks suggest that the iodine atoms are structured with a one-dimensional order. The extra diffuse streaks can be explained by the double diffraction between the four streaks and the spotty diffractions of (SN)x. The double diffraction results from the microfibrillar nature of the (SN)x. From X-ray microanalysis of doped (SN)x, the iodine content in the specimen was found to change mainly in the direction along the chain axis and almost constant in the direction perpendicular to it. The distribution of iodine atoms indicates that the dopants diffuse preferentially along the molecular axis through disordered domains between fine fibrils comprised in (SN)x crystals. Then the dopants are settled in the narrow disordered domains and give the extra streaked diffraction.     

Ab initio study of the SN1Ar and SN2Ar reactions of benzenediazonium ion with water. On the conception of "unimolecular dediazoniation" in solvolysis reactions

The nucleophilic substitution of N2 in benzenediazonium ion 1 by one H2O molecule to form protonated phenol 2 has been studied with ab initio (RHF, MP2, QCISD(T)//MP2) and hybrid density functional (B3LYP) methods. Three mechanisms were considered: (a) the unimolecular process SN1Ar with steps 1 --> Ph+ + N2 and Ph+ + H2O --> 2, (b) the bimolecular process SN2Ar with precoordination 1 + H2O --> 1 x H2O, SN reaction 1 x H2O --> [TS]++ --> 2 x N2 and dissociation of the postcoordination complex 2 x N2 --> 2 + N2, and (c) the direct bimolecular process SN2Ar that bypasses precoordination and involves just the SN reaction 1 + H2O --> [TS]++ --> 2 + N2. The SN2Ar reactions proceed by way of a Cs symmetric SN2Ar transition state structure that is rather loose, contains essentially a phenyl cation weakly bound to N2 and OH2, and is analogous to the transition state structures of front-side nucleophilic replacement at saturated centers. In solvolysis reactions, all of these processes follow first-order kinetics, and the electronic relaxation is essentially the same. It is argued that "unimolecular dediazoniations" have to proceed by way of SN2Ar transition state structures because strict SN1Ar reactions cannot be realized in solvolyses, despite the fact that the Gibbs free energy profile favors the strict SN1Ar process over the SN2Ar reaction by 6.7 kcal/mol. It is further argued that the direct SN2Ar process is the best model for the solvolysis reaction for dynamic reasons, and its Gibbs free energy of activation is 19.3 kcal/mol and remains higher than the SN1Ar value. Even though the SN1Ar and SN2Ar models provide activation enthalpies and SKIE values that closely match the experimental data, the analysis leads us to the unavoidable conclusion that this agreement is fortuitous. While the experiments do show that the solvent effect on the activation energy is about the same for all solvents, they do not show the absence of a solvent effect. The ab initio results presented here suggest that the solvent effect on the direct SN2Ar dediazoniation is approximately 12 kcal/mol, and computation of solvent effects with the isodensity polarized continuum model (IPCM) support this conclusion.     

Molecular dynamics in fluorinated side-chain maleimide copolymers as studied by broadband dielectric spectroscopy

A series of alternating maleimide (MI) copolymers with fluorinated side chains have been investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy. The side chains consist of fluoroalkane (–C _x F_2x+1, x=1, 7, 9) end groups connected to the main chain via methylene spacers. The experiments were carried out in a frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz and at temperatures between 120 K and 500 K. The fluorinated MI copolymers show a fast sub-T _g (β) relaxation characterized by an Arrhenius-type temperature dependence with activation energy in the range of 30–37 kJ/mol. Two more processes (α and δ-like) are observed, corresponding to independent relaxations of the main chain and the fluoroalkane domains respectively. For shorter side chains, the δ-like process is not observed but instead another relaxation process, α _S , occurs at temperatures higher than either the α and δ-like processes. When compared with unfluorinated MI copolymers, the fluorinated MI copolymers show the δ-like process and a slower β-relaxation unlike their unfluorinated counterparts. A model to explain the molecular origin of the four processes is proposed, supplemented by differential scanning calorimetry and published WAXS/SAXS data.     

Topological steric effect index and its application

This paper proposed a Topological Steric Effect Index (TSEI) of a group based on the relative specific volume of the reaction center screened by the atoms of the substituents. Investigated results show good correlations between the parameter TSEI and the dihedral angles between both phenyl rings determined by photoelectron spectroscopy for 7 alkylbiphenyl compounds and calculated by a molecular mechanics force field for 78 alkylbiphenyl compounds, whose correlation coefficients are 0.9912 and 0.9845, respectively. The TSEI value of the group is easily calculated and has a clear physical meaning. In addition, it is correlated well to dihedral angles of the 1,2-disubstituted benzene compounds, stereoselectivity of organomagnesium compounds addition to some cyclohexanones and cyclopentanones, and the relative rates of some SN2 reactions.
