Theoretical studies on the reactions OH + CH3COCCl2 X (X = F, Cl, Br)

Theoretical investigations are carried out on the title reactions by means of the direct dynamics method. The optimized geometries, frequencies and minimum energy path are obtained at the MP2/6-31 + G(d,p) level, and energetic information is further refined at the MC-QCISD (single-point) level. The rate constants for both reactions are calculated by the improved canonical variational transition state theory with the small-curvature tunneling correction in a wide temperature range 200–3,000 K. The theoretical rate constant is in good agreement with the available experimental data. Furthermore, the effects of different halogen substitution on the rate constants are also discussed.     

Structures and bonding situation of Pb2X2 (X?=?H, F, Cl, Br and I)

Quantum chemical calculations using DFT (BP86) and ab initio methods (MP2, MP4 and CCSD(T)) have been carried out for the title compounds. The nature of the Pb?CPb interactions has been investigated with an energy decomposition analysis. The energy minimum structures of the halogen substituted Pb₂X₂ molecules possess a doubly bridged butterfly geometry A like the parent system Pb₂H₂. The unusual geometry can be explained with the interactions between PbX fragments in the X ²?? ground state which leads to one Pb?CPb electron-sharing ?? bond and two donor?Cacceptor bonds between the Pb?CX bonds as donor and vacant p(??) AOs of Pb. The energy difference between the equilibrium form A and the linear structure XPb??PbX (E) which is a second-order saddle point is much higher when X is a halogen atom than for X?=?H. This is because the a ⁴??^?????X ²?? excitation energies of PbX (X?=?F?CI) are higher than for PbH. The structural isomers B, D1, D2, E, F1, F2 and G of Pb₂X₂ are no minima on the potential energy surface.     

Theoretical study on tetranuclear boron clusters: B4X4 (X = H, F, Cl, Br, I)

The molecular orbitals for B4H4, B4F4, B4Cl4, B4Br4 and B4I4 have been calculated by using all-electron or effective core potential ab initio method at the self-consistent field level using basis sets with diffuse and polarization functions. The boron-boron and boron-halide (-hydrogen) distances of these cage compounds are optimized with three kinds of basis sets constrained to a tetrahedral symmetry. According to the localization scheme of Boys, four three-centered two-electron (3c2e) B-B-B bonds localized on each of the faces of the B4 tetrahedron are derived for B4X4 clusters. The HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, atomization energies and Mulliken overlap populations of these compounds indicate that the stabilities of the clusters decrease in the sequence of B4F4 > B4Cl4, B4H4 > B4Br4 > B4I4.     

An MP2 study on pre-reactive complexes (CH_2)_2O … XY (X,Y = H,F,Cl,Br,I)

The structures, energies, atomic chaiges and IR spectra of complexes (CH2)2O…XY (X, Y = H, F, Cl, Br, and I) have been examined by means of ab initio molecular orbital theory at the second-order level of Moller-Plesset perturbation correction. It is found that the hydrogen bond O…H-X is non-linear. The attraction between X and the H atoms in oxirane ring causes O…H-X bond bending. The hydrogen bond slighdy weakens the bond strength of C-O, and leads the bending and stretching mode of IR to shift to the red. The calculation results show that there is no evidence of a significant extent of proton transfer to give (CH2)2OH …X- in the isolated complexes.     

Do halogen and methyl substituents have electronic effects on the structures of simple disilanes? An experimental and theoretical study of the molecular structures of the series X3SiSiMe3 (X = H, F, Cl and Br)

The gas-phase molecular structures of a series of halogen-substituted disilanes [X₃SiSiMe₃ (X = H, F, Cl and Br)], 1,1,1-trimethyldisilane (H₃SiSiMe₃), 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2,2-trimethyldisilane (F₃SiSiMe₃), 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trimethyldisilane (Cl₃SiSiMe₃) and 1,1,1-tribromo-2,2,2-trimethyldisilane (Br₃SiSiMe₃), have been determined in the gas phase by electron diffraction. Ab initio calculations at the HF and MP2 level were used to support the experimental investigation using the SARACEN method. All of the investigated structures were determined to adopt a staggered structure with C _3v symmetry. The effect of substitution on the Si–Si bond and the Si–Si–X bond angle was investigated and these results were compared to results obtained from a recent study of halogen-substituted disilanes [X₃SiSiXMe₂ (X = F, Cl, Br and I)] to consider the effect of the methyl groups on the substituted disilanes.     

Relativistic effects on the shielding of SnH2XY and PbH2XY (X, Y?=?F, Cl, Br and I) heavy atom�Ccontaining molecules

The relativistic polarization propagator approach is one of the most reliable methods available today for the calculation of NMR spectroscopic parameters on heavy atom?Ccontaining molecules, though its implementation is still at RPA or FOPPA (first-order) level of approach. Two-component methods like the LR-ESC method make possible the analysis of the electronic origin of relativistic effects due to its splitting in several mechanisms which are (or not) sensitive to the molecular structure or the nature of the chemical environment of the atom under study. In this article we present the study of some nuclear magnetic shieldings on the heavy atom for the following systems: SnXH₃ (X?=?H, F, Cl, Br, I), SnXYH₂ (X,?Y = F, Cl, Br, I) and PbXH₃ (X?=?H, F, Br, I). Total LR-ESC calculations are confronted to benchmark RPA calculations and then analyzed in order to get the main trends and discuss the electronic origin of the shielding of two kinds of atoms involved in such systems: central and substituent atoms. The electronic origin of the heavy atom effects on vicinal heavy atoms (HAVHA), recently proposed, is analyzed. It is shown that the passive third-order Spin orbit mechanism does not explain the total pattern though is still the most important. There are two other mechanisms involved: the so called here PSO-OZ and the L-PSO-K. Both mechanisms do contain the PSO perturbative Hamiltonian (which also include kinetic energy correcting terms). In the case of $\hbox{SnH}_2\hbox{I}_2$ , the HAVHA effect on ??(Sn) is of the order of 16%. When the central atom is as heavy as Sn, the active SO contribution on the shielding of such atom becomes larger than the passive SO, which is small in this case. This would mean that the HALA-type effect is strongly diminished when applied on a vicinal heavy atom. Quite a similar pattern though with larger relativistic effects is observed for the central lead atom.     

Theoretical study on the substitution reactions of fluorosilylenoid H2SiLiF with SiH3XH n−1 (X = F,Cl, Br,O, N; n = 1, 1, 1, 2, 3)

The substitution reactions of H₂SiLiF (A) with SiH₃XH _n?1 (X = F, Cl, Br, O, N; n = 1, 1, 1, 2, 3) have been studied using DFT and ab initio methods. The results indicate that the substitution reactions of A with SiH₃XH _n?1 proceed via two reaction paths, I and II. The following conclusions emerge from this work. (i) The substitutions of A with SiH₃XH _n?1 are nucleophilic reactions and occur in a concerted manner. Path I is more favorable than path II. The substitution barriers of A with SiH₃XH _n?1 for path I decrease with the increase of the atomic number of X for the same period systems, whereas the barriers increase with the increase of the atomic number of X for the same family systems. (ii) The substitution products are H₂SiFSiH₃ and LiXH _n?1. If the H atoms in SiH₃ of SiH₃XH _n–1 are substituted by different atoms or groups, silanes H₂SiFSiH₃ obtained via paths I and II would be enantiomers. (iii) All the substitution reactions of A with SiH₃XH _n?1 are exothermic.

Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Structures of X−⋅⋅⋅CH2O (X=F,Cl, Br,I) Complexes

A combined experimental and theoretical approach has been used to investigate X⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O (X=F, Cl, Br, I) complexes in the gas phase. Photoelectron spectroscopy, in tandem with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, has been used to determine electron binding energies for the Cl⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O, Br⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O, and I⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O species. Additionally, high-level CCSD(T) calculations found a C_2v minimum for these three anion complexes, with predicted electron detachment energies in excellent agreement with the experimental photoelectron spectra. F⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O was also studied theoretically, with a C_s hydrogen-bonded complex found to be the global minimum. Calculations extended to neutral X⋅⋅⋅CH₂O complexes, with the results of potential interest to atmospheric CH₂O chemistry.

Density functional study on rare gas-noble metal closed-shell interaction in XeMX (M = Au, Ag, Cu; X = F, Cl, Br) systems

The rare gas-noble metal systems XeMX (M = Au, Ag, Cu; X = F, Cl, Br) were investigated at the CCSD(T) and DFT levels. Geometric structures, natural bond orbital population, HOMO-LUMO gap, the rare gas-noble metal interaction and the chemical deformation density were analyzed. Experimental structure parameters of the XeAuF and XeMX (M = Ag, Cu; X = F, Cl) were reproduced at Xα level. At the same time, the XeAuCl and XeMBr (M = Au, Ag, Cu) compounds were predicted. The electronegativity of halogen atom X correlates with the M–X bond length, HOMO-LUMO gap, electronic structures and Xe–M bond energy.     

Synthesis and structure of [Hg2(L)2(NO3)2] (L = (4-nitrophenyl)pyridin-2-ylmethyleneamine); a theoretical study on Hg–Hg bond in this and in linear Hg2X2 (X = F, Cl, Br, I, Ph) complexes

A new binuclear mercury(I) complex, [Hg₂(L)₂(NO₃)₂] (L = (4-nitrophenyl)pyridin-2-ylmethyleneamine), 1, has been synthesized and characterized by CHN analyses, IR, UV–vis spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure analysis. The complex contains a metal–metal bonded core, [Hg–Hg]²⁺, in which a single bidentate imine ligand is coordinated to each mercury atom. The Hg atoms have an additional interaction with the oxygen atom of the NO₃ ^? ion. Theoretical studies show that the interaction energy between the two {Hg(L)NO₃} fragments is about 45–59 kcal/mol depending on the level of calculation. The Mayer-Mulliken and Wiberg bond indices (WBI) for Hg–Hg bond at different levels of theory are about 0.75–0.88 and 0.60–0.70, respectively, and are significantly larger than that for Hg–N and Hg–O bonds. The NBO calculations by using different methods and basis sets also show that the S character in Hg–Hg bond is very large (94.65–97.81 %). All above data for this complex are compared with those for linear Hg₂X₂ (X = F,Cl, Br, I, Ph) complexes. Interestingly, the bond order for Hg–Hg bond in complex 1 is comparable with that for Hg₂F₂ and larger than those in above linear complexes. This is consistent with the experimental data indicating that the Hg–Hg bond in 1 is shorter than that in all above complexes, except Hg₂F₂.     

C56X10(X=F,Cl, Br,I)的结构稳定性和电子性质

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的广义梯度近似(GGA)方法对C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I)的结构稳定性和电子性质进行了计算研究. 结构稳定性计算表明: 对于C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I), 能隙、反应热、最大振动频率和最小振动频率都随着X原子序数的增加而减小, 表明C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I)的稳定性随着X原子序数的增加而逐渐降低, 其中C56F10最为稳定. 前人在实验上已成功合成出C56Cl10, 因此, 我们推测C56F10有望在实验上成功合成. 前线轨道计算发现, C56相邻的五边形公共顶点以及两个六边形-五边形-六边形公共顶点是笼子中化学活性最强的部位, 有利于卤族元素的外部吸附. 此外, 计算结果还显示, C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I)的电负性随着X原子序数的增大而逐渐减弱, C—X基团的电负性因位置的不同而不同.     

Pressure-induced formation of molecular B2X4(μ-X)2 (X = Cl, Br, I) species

Boron(III) halides (BX(3), where X = F, Cl, Br, I) at ambient pressure conditions exist as strictly monomeric, trigonal-planar molecules. Using correlated ab initio calculations, the three heavier halides (X = Cl, Br, I) are shown to possess B(2)X(4)(μ-X)(2) local minima, isostructural with the diborane molecule. The calculated dissociation barrier of the B(2)I(4)(μ-I)(2) species [≈14 kJ/mol with CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ] may be high enough to allow cryogenic isolation. The remaining dimer structures are more labile, with dissociation barriers of less than 6 kJ/mol. All three dimer species may be stabilized by application of external pressure. Periodic density functional theory calculations predict a new dimer-based P1 solid, which becomes more stable than the P6(3)/m monomer-derived solids at 5 (X = I) to 15 (X = Cl) GPa. Metadynamics simulations suggest that B(2)X(4)(μ-X)(2)-based solids are the kinetically preferred product of pressurization of the P6(3)/m solid.

C_(80)X_(12)(X=H,F,Cl,Br)的结构和稳定性

为了考察勒烯衍生物结构与稳定性关系,采用密度泛函理论方法对C80X12(X=H,F,Cl,Br)进行了系统计算究.结表明,在C80X12(X=H,F)异构体中,最低能量异构体都违反五元环分离规则.然而,在C80X12(X=Cl,Br)异构体中,最低能量异构体都满足五元环分离规则.由于van der Waals半径较小,H或F加成到碳笼上时外部原子之间排斥作用小,因此在其优结构中,H或F优先加成到2个五元环共用碳原子上.相反,对于氯化、溴化勒烯,为了避免外部加成原子之间在重空间排斥作用,其优结构中Cl或Br优先加成到1,4-位点上.计算结还显,氢化、卤化反应热(C80+6X2→C80X12)遵循如下顺序,即C80F12>C80Cl12>C80H12>C80Br12.这些结表明勒烯衍生物稳定性和衍生化模与加成原子尺和电性有关.
