The acidities of the two different sites in naphthalene (1alpha and 1beta) and the electron affinities of the alpha- and beta-naphthyl radicals were measured using a Fourier transform mass spectrometer. Both carbon-hydrogen bond dissociation energies for naphthalene also were obtained, in this case via the application of a thermodynamic cycle. The final results are DeltaH(o)acid (1alpha) = 394.2+/-1.2 kcal mol(-1), DeltaH(o)acid (1beta) = 395.5+/-1.3 kcal mol(-1), EA(alpha) = 31.6+/-0.5 kcal mol(-1), EA(beta) = 31.6+/-0.5 kcal mol(-1), BDE(1alpha) = 112.2+/-1.3 kcal mol(-1) and BDE(1alpha) = 111.9+/-1.4 kcal mol(-1), and they are compared to benzene and phenyl radical as well as ab initio and density functional theory (B3LYP) calculations.  相似文献

The 351.1 nm photoelectron spectra of the N-methyl-5-pyrazolide anion and the N-methyl-5-imidazolide anion are reported. The photoelectron spectra of both isomers display extended vibrational progressions in the X2A' ground states of the corresponding radicals that are well reproduced by Franck-Condon simulations, based on the results of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations. The electron affinities of the N-methyl-5-pyrazolyl radical and the N-methyl-5-imidazolyl radical are 2.054 +/- 0.006 eV and 1.987 +/- 0.008 eV, respectively. Broad vibronic features of the A(2)A' ' states are also observed in the spectra. The gas-phase acidities of N-methylpyrazole and N-methylimidazole are determined from measurements of proton-transfer rate constants using a flowing afterglow-selected ion flow tube instrument. The acidity of N-methylpyrazole is measured to be Delta(acid)G(298) = 376.9 +/- 0.7 kcal mol(-1) and Delta(acid)H(298) = 384.0 +/- 0.7 kcal mol(-1), whereas the acidity of N-methylimidazole is determined to be Delta(acid)G(298) = 380.2 +/- 1.0 kcal mol(-1) and Delta(acid)H(298)= 388.1 +/- 1.0 kcal mol(-1). The gas-phase acidities are combined with the electron affinities in a negative ion thermochemical cycle to determine the C5-H bond dissociation energies, D(0)(C5-H, N-methylpyrazole) = 116.4 +/- 0.7 kcal mol(-1) and D(0)(C5-H, N-methylimidazole) = 119.0 +/- 1.0 kcal mol(-1). The bond strengths reported here are consistent with previously reported bond strengths of pyrazole and imidazole; however, the error bars are significantly reduced.  相似文献

Gas-phase acidities (Delta H degrees (acid)) of lactones with ring sizes from four to seven have been measured on a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. Electron affinities (EAs) of the corresponding lactone enolate radicals were measured on a continuous-wave ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer, and the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the alpha C-H bonds were derived. In order of increasing ring size, Delta H degrees (acid) = 368.7 +/- 2., 369.4 +/- 2.2, 367.3 +/- 2.2, and 368.3 +/- 2.2 kcal/mol and BDE = 99.4 +/- 2.3, 94.8 +/- 2.3, 89.2 +/- 2.3, and 92.8 +/- 2.4 kcal/mol for beta-propiolactone, gamma-butyrolactone, delta-valerolactone, and epsilon-caprolactone, respectively. For their corresponding enolate radicals, EA = 44.1 +/- 0.3, 38.8 +/- 0.3, 35.3 +/- 0.3, and 37.9 +/- 0.6 kcal/mol. All of these lactones are considerably more acidic than methyl acetate, consistent with a dipole repulsion model. Both BDEs and EAs show a strong dependence on ring size, whereas Delta H degrees (acid) does not. These findings are discussed, taking into account differential electronic effects and differential strain between the reactant and product species in each reaction.  相似文献

We determined the gas-phase acidities of two cysteine-polyalanine peptides, HSCA3 and HSCA4, using a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer through application of the extended kinetic method with full entropy analysis. Five halogenated carboxylic acids were used as the reference acids. The negatively charged proton-bound dimers of the deprotonated peptides with the conjugate bases of the reference acids were generated by electrospray ionization. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments were carried out at three collision energies. The enthalpies of deprotonation (Delta(acid)H) of the peptides were derived according to the linear relationship between the logarithms of the CID product ion branching ratios and the differences of the gas-phase acidities. The values were determined to be Delta(acid)H(HSCA3) = 317.3 +/- 2.4 kcal/mol and Delta(acid)H (HSCA4) = 316.2 +/- 3.9 kcal/mol. Large entropy effects (Delta(DeltaS) = 13-16 cal/mol K) were observed for these systems. Combining the enthalpies of deprotonation with the entropy term yielded the apparent gas-phase acidities (Delta(acid)G(app)) of 322.1 +/- 2.4 kcal/mol (HSCA3) and 320.1 +/- 3.9 kcal/mol (HSCA4), in agreement with the results obtained from the CID-bracketing experiments. Compared with that in the isolated cysteine residue, the thiol group in HSCA3,4 has a stronger gas-phase acidity by about 20 kcal/mol. This increased acidity is likely due to the stabilization of the negatively charged thiolate group through internal solvation.  相似文献

Energy-resolved, competitive threshold collision-induced dissociation (TCID) methods are used to measure the gas-phase acidities of phenol, 3-methylphenol, 2,4,6-trimethylphenol, and ethanoic acid relative to hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide, and the hydroperoxyl radical using guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry. The gas-phase acidities of Delta(acid)H298(C6H5OH) = 1456 +/- 4 kJ/mol, Delta(acid)H298(3-CH3C6H4OH) = 1457 +/- 5 kJ/mol, Delta(acid)H298(2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2OH) = 1456 +/- 4 kJ/mol, and Delta(acid)H298(CH3COOH) = 1457 +/- 6 kJ/mol are determined. The O-H bond dissociation enthalpy of D298(C6H5O-H) = 361 +/- 4 kJ/mol is derived using the previously published experimental electron affinity for C6H5O, and thermochemical values for the other species are reported. A comparison of the new TCID values with both experimental and theoretical values from the literature is presented.  相似文献

Methyl, methyl-d(3), and ethyl hydroperoxide anions (CH(3)OO(-), CD(3)OO(-), and CH(3)CH(2)OO(-)) have been prepared by deprotonation of their respective hydroperoxides in a stream of helium buffer gas. Photodetachment with 364 nm (3.408 eV) radiation was used to measure the adiabatic electron affinities: EA[CH(3)OO, X(2)A' '] = 1.161 +/- 0.005 eV, EA[CD(3)OO, X(2)A' '] = 1.154 +/- 0.004 eV, and EA[CH(3)CH(2)OO, X(2)A' '] = 1.186 +/- 0.004 eV. The photoelectron spectra yield values for the term energies: Delta E(X(2)A' '-A (2)A')[CH(3)OO] = 0.914 +/- 0.005 eV, Delta E(X(2)A' '-A (2)A')[CD(3)OO] = 0.913 +/- 0.004 eV, and Delta E(X(2)A' '-A (2)A')[CH(3)CH(2)OO] = 0.938 +/- 0.004 eV. A localized RO-O stretching mode was observed near 1100 cm(-1) for the ground state of all three radicals, and low-frequency R-O-O bending modes are also reported. Proton-transfer kinetics of the hydroperoxides have been measured in a tandem flowing afterglow-selected ion flow tube (FA-SIFT) to determine the gas-phase acidity of the parent hydroperoxides: Delta(acid)G(298)(CH(3)OOH) = 367.6 +/- 0.7 kcal mol(-1), Delta(acid)G(298)(CD(3)OOH) = 367.9 +/- 0.9 kcal mol(-1), and Delta(acid)G(298)(CH(3)CH(2)OOH) = 363.9 +/- 2.0 kcal mol(-1). From these acidities we have derived the enthalpies of deprotonation: Delta(acid)H(298)(CH(3)OOH) = 374.6 +/- 1.0 kcal mol(-1), Delta(acid)H(298)(CD(3)OOH) = 374.9 +/- 1.1 kcal mol(-1), and Delta(acid)H(298)(CH(3)CH(2)OOH) = 371.0 +/- 2.2 kcal mol(-1). Use of the negative-ion acidity/EA cycle provides the ROO-H bond enthalpies: DH(298)(CH(3)OO-H) = 87.8 +/- 1.0 kcal mol(-1), DH(298)(CD(3)OO-H) = 87.9 +/- 1.1 kcal mol(-1), and DH(298)(CH(3)CH(2)OO-H) = 84.8 +/- 2.2 kcal mol(-1). We review the thermochemistry of the peroxyl radicals, CH(3)OO and CH(3)CH(2)OO. Using experimental bond enthalpies, DH(298)(ROO-H), and CBS/APNO ab initio electronic structure calculations for the energies of the corresponding hydroperoxides, we derive the heats of formation of the peroxyl radicals. The "electron affinity/acidity/CBS" cycle yields Delta(f)H(298)[CH(3)OO] = 4.8 +/- 1.2 kcal mol(-1) and Delta(f)H(298)[CH(3)CH(2)OO] = -6.8 +/- 2.3 kcal mol(-1).  相似文献

Deprotonation enthalpies and the gas-phase acidities of 24 inorganic acids are calculated by using composite G3 and G2 methodologies. The computed values are in very good accordance with available measured data. It is found that the experimental DeltaH(acid) values of the FSO(3)H and CF(3)SO(3)H are too high by some 6 and 7 kcal mol(-1), respectively. Furthermore, a new DeltaH(acid) value for HClO(4) of 300 kcal mol(-1) is recommended and suggested as a threshold of superacidicity in the gas phase. The calculated deprotonation enthalpies are interpreted by employing the trichotomy paradigm. Taking into account that the deprotonation enthalpy is a measure of acidity, it can be safely stated that the pronounced acidities of mineral acids are to a very large extent determined by Koopmans' term with very few exceptions, one of them being H(2)S. To put it in another way, acidities are predominantly a consequence of the ability of the conjugate bases to accommodate the excess electron charge, since Koopmans' term in trichotomy analysis is related to conjugate base anion. The final state is decisive in particular for superacids like ClSO(3)H, CF(3)SO(3)H, HClO(4), HBF(4), HPF(6), HAlCl(4), and HAlBr(4). However, in the latter two molecules the bond dissociation energy of the halogen-H bond substantially contributes to their high acidity too. Therefore, acidity of these two most powerful superacids studied here is determined by cooperative influence of both initial and final state effects. It should be emphasized that acidity of hydrogen halides HCl and HBr is a result of concerted action of all three terms included in triadic analysis. A byproduct of the triadic analysis are the first adiabatic ionization energies of the anionic conjugate bases. They are in fair to good agreement with the experimental data, which are unfortunately sparse. A fairly good qualitative correlation is found between the gas-phase deprotonation enthalpies of six mineral O-H acids and available Hammett-Taft sigma(p)- constants of the corresponding substituent groups.  相似文献

The gas-phase acidities of the vinyl hydrogens of cis- and trans-2-butene were measured by the silane kinetic method in a Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer. The acidities of ethene and the secondary vinyl hydrogen of propene were measured by the same method. The method was calibrated using the known acidities of methane and benzene. The vinyl hydrogens of trans-2-butene are more acidic than the vinyl hydrogens of cis-2-butene by 4.5 kcal/mol; the acidities of ethene and the secondary vinyl hydrogen of propene are between those of the two butenes. The acidity of cis-2-butene is 409 +/- 2 kcal/mol, and the acidity of trans-2-butene is 405 +/- 2 kcal/mol. Density functional theory calculations are in good agreement with the experiments. The results are discussed in terms of steric interactions, polarizabilities, dipole-dipole interactions, and charge-dipole interactions.  相似文献

Appearance energies for [M - H](-) ions from phenol (I), 4-chlorophenol (II), pentachlorophenol (III) and pentachlorothiophenol (IV) were measured. The following thermochemical data were deduced from experiment: DeltaH(acid) values of 343.3, 335.7, 317.1 and 317.1 kcal mol(-1) for RH molecules (I, II, III, and IV, respectively) and electron affinities (EAs) of R(.) free radicals 2.55, 2.90, 3.79, and 3.65 eV, respectively. Our data for phenol (I) and 4-chlorophenol (II) demonstrate a higher stabilization of ArO(-) anions than was previously accepted. Using the enthalpic shift procedure for molecules and a series of isodesmic reactions for free radicals, earlier elaborated by the authors, a new Delta$bf H_bf fbf 0$ values for the following gas-phase species were obtained (kcal mol(-1)): C(6)Cl(5)Br (5.0), C(6)Cl(5)SH (8.5), p-ClC(6)H(4)C(.) (2. 0), C(6)Cl(5)C(.) (-15), C(6)Cl(5)S(.) (44). Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Thermochemical parameters of three C(2)H(5)O* radicals derived from ethanol were reevaluated using coupled-cluster theory CCSD(T) calculations, with the aug-cc-pVnZ (n = D, T, Q) basis sets, that allow the CC energies to be extrapolated at the CBS limit. Theoretical results obtained for methanol and two CH(3)O* radicals were found to agree within +/-0.5 kcal/mol with the experiment values. A set of consistent values was determined for ethanol and its radicals: (a) heats of formation (298 K) DeltaHf(C(2)H(5)OH) = -56.4 +/- 0.8 kcal/mol (exptl: -56.21 +/- 0.12 kcal/mol), DeltaHf(CH(3)C*HOH) = -13.1 +/- 0.8 kcal/mol, DeltaHf(C*H(2)CH(2)OH) = -6.2 +/- 0.8 kcal/mol, and DeltaHf(CH(3)CH(2)O*) = -2.7 +/- 0.8 kcal/mol; (b) bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of ethanol (0 K) BDE(CH(3)CHOH-H) = 93.9 +/- 0.8 kcal/mol, BDE(CH(2)CH(2)OH-H) = 100.6 +/- 0.8 kcal/mol, and BDE(CH(3)CH(2)O-H) = 104.5 +/- 0.8 kcal/mol. The present results support the experimental ionization energies and electron affinities of the radicals, and appearance energy of (CH(3)CHOH+) cation. Beta-C-C bond scission in the ethoxy radical, CH(3)CH2O*, leading to the formation of C*H3 and CH(2)=O, is characterized by a C-C bond energy of 9.6 kcal/mol at 0 K, a zero-point-corrected energy barrier of E0++ = 17.2 kcal/mol, an activation energy of Ea = 18.0 kcal/mol and a high-pressure thermal rate coefficient of k(infinity)(298 K) = 3.9 s(-1), including a tunneling correction. The latter value is in excellent agreement with the value of 5.2 s(-1) from the most recent experimental kinetic data. Using RRKM theory, we obtain a general rate expression of k(T,p) = 1.26 x 10(9)p(0.793) exp(-15.5/RT) s(-1) in the temperature range (T) from 198 to 1998 K and pressure range (p) from 0.1 to 8360.1 Torr with N2 as the collision partners, where k(298 K, 760 Torr) = 2.7 s(-1), without tunneling and k = 3.2 s(-1) with the tunneling correction. Evidence is provided that heavy atom tunneling can play a role in the rate constant for beta-C-C bond scission in alkoxy radicals.  相似文献

The heat of hydrogenation of phenylcyclobutadiene (DeltaH degrees (hyd) = 57.4 +/- 4.9 kcal mol(-1)) was determined via a thermodynamic cycle by carrying out gas-phase measurements on 1-phenylcyclobuten-3-yl cation. This leads to an antiaromatic destabilization energy of 27 +/- 5 kcal mol(-1), a difference of 9.6 +/- 4.9 kcal mol(-1) for the first and second C-H bond dissociation energies of 1-phenylcyclobutene, and an estimate of 96 +/- 5 kcal mol(-1) for the heat of formation of cyclobutadiene. These results are compared to G3, G3(MP2), and B3LYP computations and represent the first experimental measurements of the energy of a monocyclic cyclobutadiene.  相似文献

The gas-phase heat of formation (DeltaH(f,298)) of the 1,3,5-tridehydrobenzene triradical has been determined by using a negative ion thermochemical cycle. The first three measurements carried out were of the gas-phase acidity of 3,5-dichlorobenzoic acid, the enthalpy for decarboxylation of 3,5-dichlorobenzoate, and the enthalpy for chloride loss from 3,5,-dichlorophenide and constitute the measurement of the heat of formation for 5-chloro-m-benzyne. The last two measurements, the electron affinity of 5-chloro-m-benzyne, and the threshold for chloride loss from 5-chloro-m-benzyne, when combined with DeltaH(f,298) of 5-chloro-m-benzyne, give the heat of formation of the triradical. The 5-chloro-m-benzyne heat of formation is 116.2 +/- 3.7 kcal/mol. The heat of formation of the 1,3,5-tridehydrobenzene triradical measured in this work is 179.1 +/- 4.6 kcal/mol. This heat of formation was used to derive the bond dissociation energy (BDE) at the 5-position of m-benzyne, a third BDE in benzene. The BDE, at 109.2 +/- 5.6 kcal/mol, is ca. 4 kcal/mol lower than the first BDE in benzene (112.9 kcal/mol) and significantly higher than the BDE of phenyl radical at the meta position. The agreement between the first and third BDEs implies that the triradical is best described as a phenyl radical that interacts little with a m-benzyne moiety. The experimentally measured BDE is in good agreement with multireference configuration interaction calculations, which predict a (2)A(1) ground state for the Jahn-Teller distorted triradical. The trends in the first, second, and third BDEs of benzene are similar to those found for cyclopropane, suggesting a cyclopropenyl-like electronic structure within the six-membered ring of the 1,3,5-benzene triradical.  相似文献

Gas-phase acidities (deltaGo(acid)) have been measured for 1,2-ethanedithiol, 1,3-propanedithiol, and 1,4-butanedithiol, using a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer. Adiabatic electron affinities (EAs) of the thiolate monoradicals of these compounds were assigned from electron photodetachment spectra of their corresponding thiolate monoanions, acquired using a cw-ICR. The dithiols exhibit enhanced acidities (up to 8.7 kcal/mol in deltaGo(acid)) and greater EAs (up to 6.7 kcal/mol) than analogous monothiol species. These differences are attributed to an intramolecular RS-.HSR hydrogen bond in the thiolate anion. Considerations of the RO-.HOR hydrogen bond in monoanions of alpha,omega-diols and in the [CH(3)O-.HOCH(3)] complex anion suggest that the RS-.HSR hydrogen bond provides up to 9 kcal/mol extra stabilization.  相似文献

The gas-phase acidities of adenine, 9-ethyladenine, and 3-methyladenine have been investigated for the first time, using computational and experimental methods to provide an understanding of the intrinsic reactivity of adenine. Adenine is found to have two acidic sites, with the N9 site being 19 kcal mol(-1) more acidic than the N10 site; the bracketed acidities are 333 +/- 2 and 352 +/- 4 kcal mol(-1), respectively. Because measurement of the less acidic site can be problematic, we benchmarked the adenine N10 measurement by bracketing the acidity of 9-ethyladenine, which has the N9 site blocked and allows for exclusive measurement of the N10 site. The acidity of 9-ethyladenine brackets to 352 +/- 4 kcal mol(-1), comparable to that of the N10 site of the parent adenine. Calculations and experiments with 3-methyladenine, a harmful mutagenic nucleobase, uncovered the surprising result that the most commonly written tautomer of 3-methyladenine is not the most stable in the gas phase. We have found that the most stable tautomer is the "N10 tautomer" 10, as opposed to the imine tautomer 3. The bracketed acidity of 10 is 347 +/- 4 kcal mol(-1). Since 10 is not a viable species in DNA, 3 is a likely tautomer; calculations indicate that this form has an extremely high acidity (320-323 kcal mol(-1)). The biological implications of these results, particularly with respect to enzymes that cleave alkylated bases from DNA, are discussed.  相似文献

We studied the effects of polar groups on the gas-phase acidities of carboxylic acids experimentally and computationally. In this connection, the gas-phase acidities (DeltaH(acid), the enthalpy of deprotonation, and DeltaG(acid), the deprotonation free energy) of borane-complexed methylaminoacetic acid ((CH(3))2N(BH(3))CH(2)CO(2)H) and methylthioacetic acid (CH(3)S(BH(3))CH(2)CO(2)H) were measured using the kinetic method in a flowing afterglow-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The values of DeltaH(acid) and DeltaG(acid) of (CH(3))2N(BH(3))CH(2)CO(2)H were determined to be 328.8 +/- 1.9 and 322.1 +/- 1.9 kcal/mol, and those of CH(3)S(BH(3))CH(2)CO(2)H were determined to be 325.8 +/- 1.9 and 319.2 +/- 1.9 kcal/mol, respectively. The theoretical enthalpies of deprotonation of (CH(3))2N(BH(3))CH(2)CO(2)H (329.2 kcal/mol) and CH(3)S(BH(3))CH(2)CO(2)H (325.5 kcal/mol) were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory. The calculated enthalpies of deprotonation of N-oxide-acetic acid (CH(3)NOCH(2)CO(2)H, 329.4 kcal/mol) and S-oxide-acetic acid (CH(3)SOCH(2)CO(2)H, 328.6 kcal/mol) are comparable to the experimental results for borane-complexed methylamino- and methylthioacetic acids. The enthalpy of deprotonation of sulfone-acetic acid (CH(3)SO2CH(2)CO(2)H, 326.1 kcal/mol) is about 2 kcal/mol lower than the S-oxide-acetic acid. The calculated enthalpy of deprotonation of sulfoniumacetic acid, (CH(3))2S+CH(2)CO(2)H, is 243.0 kcal/mol. Compared to the corresponding reference molecules, CH(3)NHCH(2)CO(2)H and CH(3)SCH(2)CO(2)H, the dipolar group and the monopolar group substituted carboxylic acids are stronger acids by 11-14 and 97 kcal/mol, respectively. We correlated the changes of the acidity upon a polar group substitution to the electrostatic free energy within the carboxylate anion. The acidity enhancements in polar group substituted carboxylic acids are the results of the favorable electrostatic interactions between the polar group and the developing charge at the carboxyl group.  相似文献

Equilibrium acidities (pK(HA)) of six P-(para-substituted benzyl)triphenylphosphonium (p-GC(6)H(4)CH(2)PPh(3)(+)) cations, P-allyltriphenylphosphonium cation, P-cinnamyltriphenylphosphonium cation, and As-(p-cyanobenzyl)triphenylarsonium cation, together with the oxidation potentials [E(ox)(A(-))] of their conjugate anions (ylides) have been measured in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution. The acidifying effects of the alpha-triphenylphosphonium groups on the acidic C-H bonds in toluene and propene were found to be ca 25 pK(HA) units (34 kcal/mol). Introduction of an electron-withdrawing group such as 4-NO(2), 4-CN, or 4-Br into the para position of the benzyl ring in p-GC(6)H(4)CH(2)PPh(3)(+) cations resulted in an additional acidity increase, but introduction of the 4-OEt electron-donating group decreases the acidity. The equilibrium acidities of p-GC(6)H(4)CH(2)PPh(3)(+) cations were nicely linearly correlated with the Hammett sigma(-) constants of the substituents (G) with a slope of 4.78 pK(HA) units (R(2) = 0.992) (Figure 1). Reversible oxidation potentials of the P-(para-substituted benzyl)triphenylphosphonium ylides were obtained by fast scan cyclic voltammetry. The homolytic bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) of the acidic C-H bonds in these cations, estimated by combining their equilibrium acidities with the oxidation potentials of their corresponding conjugate anions, showed that the alpha-Ph(3)P(+) groups have negligible stabilizing or destabilizing effects on the adjacent radicals. The equilibrium acidity of As-(p-cyanobenzyl)triphenylarsonium cation is 4 pK(HA) units weaker than that of P-(p-cyanobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium cation, but the BDE of the acidic C-H bond in As-(p-cyanobenzyl)triphenylarsonium cation is ca 2 kcal/mol higher than that in P-(p-cyanobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium cation.  相似文献

The gas-phase acidities of the two aromatic sites in benzocyclobutene were measured in a Fourier transform mass spectrometer using a kinetic technique (i.e., the DePuy method). Fusion of a cyclobutane ring onto benzene is found to have a slight acidifying effect at the alpha-position (3.2 +/- 1.7 kcal mol(-)(1)) and little, if any, influence on the beta-site (0.8 +/- 1.9 kcal mol(-)(1)). Energetic data (DeltaH degrees (acid) = 386.2 +/- 3.0 kcal mol(-)(1), EA = 0.84 +/- 0.11 eV, and C-H BDE = 92 +/- 4 kcal mol(-)(1)) for the benzylic position were obtained via the bracketing technique and application of a thermodynamic cycle. Differences in the reactivities of the three conjugate bases also were explored. Ab initio and density functional theory calculations were carried out to provide geometries, energies, and insights into the carbanions' electronic structures.  相似文献

A coupled cluster composite approach has been used to accurately determine the spectroscopic constants, bond dissociation energies, and heats of formation for the X1(2)II(3/2) states of the halogen oxides ClO, BrO, and IO, as well as their negative ions ClO-, BrO-, and IO-. After determining the frozen core, complete basis set (CBS) limit CCSD(T) values, corrections were added for core-valence correlation, relativistic effects (scalar and spin-orbit), the pseudopotential approximation (BrO and IO), iterative connected triple excitations (CCSDT), and iterative quadruples (CCSDTQ). The final ab initio equilibrium bond lengths and harmonic frequencies for ClO and BrO differ from their accurate experimental values by an average of just 0.0005 A and 0.8 cm-1, respectively. The bond length of IO is overestimated by 0.0047 A, presumably due to an underestimation of molecular spin-orbit coupling effects. Spectroscopic constants for the spin-orbit excited X2(2)III(1/2) states are also reported for each species. The predicted bond lengths and harmonic frequencies for the closed-shell anions are expected to be accurate to within about 0.001 A and 2 cm-1, respectively. The dissociation energies of the radicals have been determined by both direct calculation and through use of negative ion thermochemical cycles, which made use of a small amount of accurate experimental data. The resulting values of D0, 63.5, 55.8, and 54.2 kcal/mol for ClO, BrO, and IO, respectively, are the most accurate ab initio values to date, and those for ClO and BrO differ from their experimental values by just 0.1 kcal/mol. These dissociation energies lead to heats of formation, DeltaH(f) (298 K), of 24.2 +/- 0.3, 29.6 +/- 0.4, and 29.9 +/- 0.6 kcal/mol for ClO, BrO, and IO, respectively. Also, the final calculated electron affinities are all within 0.2 kcal/mol of their experimental values. Improved pseudopotential parameters for the iodine atom are also reported, together with revised correlation consistent basis sets for this atom.  相似文献

[reaction: see text] The adiabatic electron affinity (EA(ad)) of the CH(3)-C[triple bond]C(*) radical [experiment = 2.718 +/- 0.008 eV] and the gas-phase basicity of the CH(3)-C[triple bond]C:(-) anion [experiment = 373.4 +/- 2 kcal/mol] have been compared with those of their fluorine derivatives. The latter are studied using theoretical methods. It is found that there are large effects on the electron affinities and gas-phase basicities as the H atoms of the alpha-CH(3) group in the propynyl system are substituted by F atoms. The predicted electron affinities are 3.31 eV (FCH(2)-C[triple bond]C(*)), 3.86 eV (F(2)CH-C[triple bond]C(*)), and 4.24 eV (F(3)C-C[triple bond]C(*)), and the predicted gas-phase basicities of the fluorocarbanion derivatives are 366.4 kcal/mol (FCH(2)-C[triple bond]C:(-)), 356.6 kcal/mol (F(2)CH-C[triple bond]C:(-)), and 349.8 kcal/mol (F(3)C-C[triple bond]C:(-)). It is concluded that the electron affinities of fluoropropynyl radicals increase and the gas-phase basicities decrease as F atoms sequentially replace H atoms of the alpha-CH(3) in the propynyl system. The propargyl radicals, lower in energy than the isomeric propynyl radicals, are also examined and their electron affinities are predicted to be 0.98 eV ((*)CH(2)-C[triple bond]CH), 1.18 eV ((*)CFH-C[triple bond]CH), 1.32 eV ((*)CF(2)-C[triple bond] CH), 1.71 eV ((*)CH(2)-C[triple bond]CF), 2.05 eV ((*)CFH-C[triple bond]CF), and 2.23 eV ((*)CF(2)-C[triple bond]CF).  相似文献

Static bomb calorimetry, Calvet microcalorimetry and the Knudsen effusion technique were used to determine the standard molar enthalpy of formation in the gas phase, at T = 298.15 K, of the indole and indoline heterocyclic compounds. The values obtained were 164.3 +/- 1.3 kJ x mol(-1) and 120.0 +/- 2.9 kJ x mol(-1), respectively. Several different computational approaches and different working reactions were used to estimate the gas-phase enthalpies of formation for indole and indoline. The computational approaches support the experimental results reported. The calculations were further extended to the determination of other properties such as bond dissociation enthalpies, gas-phase acidities, proton and electron affinities and ionization energies. The agreement between theoretical and experimental data for indole is very good supporting the data calculated for indoline.  相似文献
