Novel products from C6H5 + C6H6/C6H5 reactions

To date only one product, biphenyl, has been reported to be produced from C(6)H(5) + C(6)H(6)/C(6)H(5) reactions. In this study, we have investigated some unique products of C(6)H(5) + C(6)H(6)/C(6)H(5) reactions via both experimental observation and theoretical modeling. In the experimental study, gas-phase reaction products produced from the pyrolysis of selected aromatics and aromatic/acetylene mixtures were detected by an in situ technique, vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) single photon ionization (SPI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS). The mass spectra revealed a remarkable correlation in mass peaks at m/z = 154 {C(12)H(10) (biphenyl)} and m/z = 152 {C(12)H(8) (?)}. It also demonstrated an unexpected correlation among the HACA (hydrogen abstraction and acetylene addition) products at m/z = 78, 102, 128, 152, and 176. The analysis of formation routes of products suggested the contribution of some other isomers in addition to a well-known candidate, acenaphthylene, in the mass peak at m/z = 152 (C(12)H(8)). Considering the difficulties of identifying the contributing isomers from an observed mass number peak, quantum chemical calculations for the above-mentioned reactions were performed. As a result, cyclopenta[a]indene, as-indacene, s-indacene, biphenylene, acenaphthylene, and naphthalene appeared as novel products, produced from the possible channels of C(6)H(5) + C(6)H(6)/C(6)H(5) reactions rather than from their previously reported formation pathways. The most notable point is the production of acenaphthylene and naphthalene from C(6)H(5) + C(6)H(6)/C(6)H(5) reactions via the PAC (phenyl addition-cyclization) mechanism because, until now, both of them have been thought to be formed via the HACA routes. In this way, this study has paved the way for exploring alternative paths for other inefficient HACA routes using the PAC mechanism.     

Substitution and protonation effects on spin-spin coupling constants in prototypical aromatic rings: C6H6, C5H5N and C5H5P

Ab initio equation-of-motion coupled cluster calculations have been carried out to evaluate one-, two-, and three-bond 13C-13C, 15N-13C, 31P-13C coupling constants in benzene, pyridine, pyridinium, phosphinine, and phosphininium. The introduction of N or P heteroatoms into the aromatic ring not only changes the magnitudes of the corresponding X-C coupling constants (J, for X = C, N, or P) but also the signs and magnitudes of corresponding reduced coupling constants (K). Protonation of the heteroatoms also produces dramatic changes in coupling constants and, by removing the lone pair of electrons from the sigma-electron framework, leads to the same signs for corresponding reduced coupling constants for benzene, pyridinium, and phosphininium. C-C coupling constants are rather insensitive to the presence of the heteroatoms and protonation. All terms that contribute to the total coupling constant (except for the diamagnetic spin-orbit (DSO) term) must be computed if good agreement with experimental data is to be obtained.     

Two Isomers of C6H6F9O9Tb

Two isomers with empirical formula C₆H₆F₉O₉Tb are synthesized and their structures are studied. Isomerism was found to arise due to different positions of a proton. Crystals of two isomers are isostructural and form continuous series of solid solutions with C₆H₆F₉O₉Eu.

Isomer stability of N6C6H6 cages

Recent theoretical studies have identified carbon-nitrogen cages that are potentially stable high energy density materials (HEDM). One such molecule is an N(6)C(6)H(6) cage in which a six-membered ring of nitrogen is bonded to C(3)H(3) triangles on both sides. This molecule is based on the structure of the most stable N(12) cage, with six carbon atoms substituted into the structure. In the current study, several N(6)C(6)H(6) isomers (including the previously studied cage) are examined by theoretical calculations to determine which is actually the most stable. Stability will be evaluated from two points of view: (1) thermodynamic stability of one isomer versus another and (2) kinetic stability of each isomer as determined by the energetics of bond breaking. Density functional theory (B3LYP), perturbation theory (MP2 and MP4), and coupled-cluster theory (CCSD(T)) are used in this study, along with the correlation-consistent basis sets of Dunning. Trends in thermodynamic and kinetic stability are discussed.
