Hartree-Fock法计算氨基酸和碱基的电磁参数

利用量子化学中Hartree-Fock模型计算并讨论了氨基酸、碱基分子的偶极矩、转动频率、极化率等，结果表明氨基酸偶极矩的相对大小与分子中的特征基团R的授受电子能力一致，这些分子大多数都具有较大的偶极矩，分子的转动能谱都处在微波频段，并且这些分子在x(y、z)方向都有其本身特有的转动常数。能量与其转动能级差相同的微波有可能通过使分子被激发从而引发生物效应，该结论为寻找微波生物效应的作用位点提供了一定理论依据。     

超临界水理论研究的进展*

通过计算模拟、拉曼光谱、NMR以及衍射分析对超临界水静态结构进行了广泛的研究,氢键结构是这些研究的重要内容。研究结果显示在临界点附近水的氢键结构受到很大的破坏,只有相当于常温下29％左右的氢键存在。利用微波波谱法、NMR法以及准弹性不边疆中子散射方法对超临界水动力学进行了研究。结果发现,在临界点附近,水分子的动力学重排时间急剧缩短,这就使得以超临界水为介质的化学反应速率大大增加。由于微波的周期比较长,可能大大地超过了超临界水结构的动力学重排时间,因此微波波谱法不适合于高温低密度超临界水的动力学研究。今后需要加强超临界水氢键结构变化的机理和动力学的实验与模拟的研究。

结构化学展望

结构化学是探讨化学物质的微观结构以及它和宏观性能之间相互关系的基础科学,是化学学科的一个重要分支。这里所谓微观结构,指的是原子-分子层次的结构,包括分子中原子的空间排列以及原子基团之间的相对空间排布;分子的各种内部运动,包括分子的转动,原子间的振动和其中电子的运动;这些不连续的(即量子化的)运动状态给出的能级的分布。经典的化学结构理论曾经正确地指出:物质的内部结构完全决定了它的典型化学反应性能(实际上也同时决定了大部分其它方面的性能);反过来,通过这些典型化学反应性能的研究,原则上也应该能定出化

Theoretical modeling of energy redistribution and stereodynamics in CF scattering from Si(100) under grazing incidence

We have simulated CF scattering from Si(100) using the molecular dynamics method. Translational energy loss spectra are presented. The shape of the energy loss distribution as a result of internal energy release is analyzed. At the classical turning point, the internal energy of the molecule is mainly in the form of rotational energy. The strong rotational excitation results in additional molecule-surfaces interactions during the latter half of the collision. These additional collisions permit some molecules that initially gain internal energy exceeding the bond strength to ultimately survive the collision process via rotational de-excitation. The rotational motion exhibited by surviving molecules is determined by the combination of the molecular axis orientation and the local surface structure during the collision process. The rotation planes of the surviving molecules are preferentially aligned with the surface normal (cartwheel-like and propeller-like motions). In this study, propeller-like motion of the surviving molecules is predicted. The majority of surviving molecules exhibit a cartwheel-like motion. However, molecules that gain a propeller-like rotation exhibit a much better alignment of their planes-of-rotation compared with molecules exhibiting cartwheel-like motion.     

Dynamic structure of organic compounds in solution according to NMR data and quantum chemical calculations: II. Styrene

The dynamic structure of styrene has been studied with the goal of obtaining detailed information on the internal rotation parameters. A potential energy surface has been constructed for the rotation of the vinyl group about the single bond in terms of the second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory with aug-cc-pvtz basis functions, and conformational dependences of ⁿ J _HH have been calculated at the FPT DFT (B3LYP) level of theory with basis functions of the same type. The vibration-averaged coupling constants have been compared with the experimental values reliably determined in this work. A high efficiency of the proposed dynamic model for structural studies of organic molecules with ultrafast internal rotation dynamics has been demonstrated.     

Statistical thermodynamics of internal rotation in a hindering potential of mean force obtained from computer simulations

A method of statistical estimation is applied to the problem of one-dimensional internal rotation in a hindering potential of mean force. The hindering potential, which may have a completely general shape, is expanded in a Fourier series, the coefficients of which are estimated by fitting an appropriate statistical-mechanical distribution to the random variable of internal rotation angle. The function of reduced moment of inertia of an internal rotation is averaged over the thermodynamic ensemble of atomic configurations of the molecule obtained in stochastic simulations. When quantum effects are not important, an accurate estimate of the absolute internal rotation entropy of a molecule with a single rotatable bond is obtained. When there is more than one rotatable bond, the "marginal" statistical-mechanical properties corresponding to a given internal rotational degree of freedom are reduced. The method is illustrated using Monte Carlo simulations of two public health relevant halocarbon molecules, each having a single internal-rotation degree of freedom, and a molecular dynamics simulation of an immunologically relevant polypeptide, in which several dihedral angles are analyzed.     

Internal dynamics features in the free jet rotational spectrum of the acetaldehyde-Kr molecular complex

The structure and the dynamics of internal motions in the complex formed between acetaldehyde and Kr are studied by free jet absorption microwave spectroscopy performed in the range 60-78 GHz. The fourfold structure of each rotational line is evidence of the vibration-rotation coupling between the overall rotation of the complex, a tunneling motion of the Kr atom between two equivalent positions and the internal rotation of the methyl group in the acetaldehyde moiety. The four sets of transitions could be fitted with a coupled Hamiltonian which allows for the Coriolis interaction obtaining the energy separation between the vibrational energy levels related to the tunneling motion, while the observed splittings due to the methyl group internal rotation were analyzed independently with an appropriate model. The potential energy barriers for the tunneling motion and the internal rotation of the methyl group have been calculated and the interaction of the rare gas atom with the acetaldehyde moiety is reflected in the change of the V(3) barrier to internal rotation in going from the molecule to the weakly bound complex.     

Excited state radiationless decay process with Duschinsky rotation effect: formalism and implementation

Duschinsky rotation effect is a simple and effective way to characterize the difference between the ground state and excited state potential energy surfaces. For complex molecules, harmonic oscillator model is still the practical way to describe the dynamics of excited states. Based on the first-order perturbation theory a la Fermi golden rule, the authors have applied the path integral of Gaussian type for the correlation function to derive an analytic formalism to calculate the internal conversion rate process with Duschinsky rotation effect being taken into account. The validity of their formalism is verified through comparison with previous work, both analytically for the case of neglecting Duschinsky rotation and numerically for the ethylene molecules with two-mode mixing. Their expression is derived for multimode mixing.     

A study of the internal dynamics of trimethylamine by means of the non-rigid group theory

The non-rigid molecule group theory (NRG) in which the dynamical symmetry operations are defined as physical operations is applied to determine the character table for the triple equivalent methyl rotation and pyramidal inversion in trimethylamine. The restricted NRG of this molecule is seen to be a group of order 648, formed as a product of two subgroups: the G ₃₂₄ subgroup corresponding to planar trimethylamine and the pyramidal inversion. For this purpose the structure of the r-NRG of planar trimethylamine is first deduced, i.e., the number of classes, irreducible representations, as well as their dimensions. Finally, guidelines are given to deduce systematically the symmetry eigenvectors developed on the basis of quadruple products of trigronometric functions. The r-NRG molecule group theory is seen to be used advantageously to study the internal dynamics of such small organic molecules.     

Internal dynamics of nonrigid molecules. I. Application to acetone

The group theory for nonrigid molecules is used for studying the internal dynamics of the two equivalent C_3v rotor “bent” molecules. Special emphasis is given to the deduction of the symmetry basis vectors which represent in box form the Hamiltonian operator. It is shown that these basis vectors may be advantageously employed in order to simplify the resolution of the two-rotor equation. The procedure is applied to the acetone molecule. It is found that the lowest solutions are clustered into groups of four. The four lowest levels are related to vibrational states, the upper 64 to vibro–rotational states, in which the rotors are rotating in a restricted manner. Only few states show some cogwheel effect. Internal rotation contributions to the principal thermodynamic parameters of acetone are also computed.     

Internal Rotation of the Acetyl Methyl Group in Methyl Alkyl Ketones: The Microwave Spectrum of Octan-2-one

Methyl n-alkyl ketones form a class of molecules with interesting internal dynamics in the gas-phase. They contain two methyl groups undergoing internal rotations, the acetyl methyl group and the methyl group at the end of the alkyl chain. The torsional barrier of the acetyl methyl group is of special importance, since it allows for the discrimination of the conformational structures. As part of the series, the microwave spectrum of octan-2-one was recorded in the frequency range from 2 to 40 GHz, revealing two conformers, one with C₁ and one with C_s symmetry. The barriers to internal rotation of the acetyl methyl group were determined to be 233.340(28) cm⁻¹ and 185.3490(81) cm⁻¹, respectively, confirming the link between conformations and barrier heights already established for other methyl alkyl ketones. Extensive comparisons to molecules in the literature were carried out, and a small overview of general trends and rules concerning the acetyl methyl torsion is given. For the hexyl methyl group, the barrier height is 973.17(60) cm⁻¹ for the C₁ conformer and 979.62(69) cm⁻¹ for the C_s conformer.     

Nuclear spin selective laser control of rotational and torsional dynamics

We explore the possibility of controlling rotational-torsional dynamics of non-rigid molecules with strong, non-resonant laser pulses and demonstrate that transient, laser-induced torsional alignment depends on the nuclear spin of the molecule. Consequently, nuclear spin isomers can be manipulated selectively by a sequence of time-delayed laser pulses. We show that two pulses with different polarization directions can induce either overall rotation or internal torsion, depending on the nuclear spin. Nuclear spin selective control of the angular momentum distribution may open new ways to separate and explore nuclear spin isomers of polyatomic molecules.
