Hf3 cluster is triply (sigma-, pi-, and delta-) aromatic in the lowest D3h, 1A1' state

The extensive search for the global minimum structure of Hf3 at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory revealed that D3h 3A2' (1a1'(2)1a2'(2)1e'(4)2a1'(2)1e'2) and D3h 1A1' (1a1'(2)2a1'(2)1e'(4)1a2'(2)3a1'2) are the lowest triplet and singlet states, respectively, with the triplet state being the lowest one. However, at the CASSCF(10,14)/Stuttgart+2f1g level of theory these two states are degenerate, indicating that at the higher level of theory the singlet state could be in fact the global minimum structure. The triplet D3h 3A2' (1a1'21a2'(2)1e'(4)2a1'(2)1e'2) structure is doubly (sigma- and pi-) aromatic and the singlet D3h 1A1' (1a1'(2)2a1'(2)1e'(4)1a2'(2)3a1'2) structure is the first reported triply (sigma-, pi-, and delta-) aromatic system.     

Regio - and stereospecific halogenation of 7alogenoalkenes in liquid hydrogen fluoride

The products of bromo and chlorofluorination of E and Z-1,2-dichloroethylenes, 1, 3-dichloro-1-propenes, 1, 1-dichloro- ethylene and 1, 3-dichloro-2-fluoro-1-propene by N-bromosuccinimide and hexachloromelamine in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride have been studied. It was found that the reaction was in all cases 100% regio and 93–100% trans-stereospecific with the exception of E-1, 2-dichloro-ethylene, its trans-stereospecificity being 85%.Threo and erithro-1-bromo-1, 2-dichloro-2-fluoroethanes, 2-bromo-1, 3-dichloro-1-fluoropropanes and 1, 2, 3-trichloro-1-fluoro-propanes as well 1, 1, 2-trichloro-2-fluoroethane, 1-bromo-2, 2-dichloro-2-fluoroethane, 1, 2, 2-trichloro-2 fluoroethane, 1-bromo-1, 3-dichloro-2, 2-difluoropropane, and 1, 1, 3-trichloro-2,2-difluoropropane were obtained in 50–70% yield.The bromination of E and Z-1, 3-dichloro-1-propenes with molecular bromine in carbon tetrachloride in the dark is non-stereospecific and gives a mixture of erithro and threo-1, 2-dibromo-1, 3-dichloropropanes in the ratio about 1:1. However, the bromination reaction in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride solution proceeds with a high degree of stereospecificity (94–95%) and gives threo-1, 2-dibromo-1, 3-dichloropropane from Z and erithro-1, 2-dibromo-1, 3-dichloropropane from E-1, 3-dichloro-1-propene.The data obtained are considered in terms of an electrophilic mechanism of halogenoalkene halogenation in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and a free-radical mechanism in carbon tetrachloride.     

Li3Al和Li2B2的稳定性和垂直激发态光谱

对于较大的簇合物，电子衍射技术或许能得到有用的信息[1].而小簇合物Mn（3≤n《50）的几何结构就没有标准的方法加以测定．对于二聚体和三聚体[2-5]，振动光谱和转动光谱能够得到精确的核间距和基态的势能面．当n》4时，若要得到一个有价值的结果，需要进行很复杂的振动结构分析．对于这类小簇合物只能得到它们的吸收光谱[6-7].因此，计算其垂直激发态就具有非常重要的意义．用量子化学解释簇合物的吸收光谱已成为一个非常诱人的课题[8].从头算对碱金属簇合物的垂直激发态计算，并与实验光谱进行比较，已成功地预测了一些碱金属簇合物的基…     

OCS+经由A2П←X2П激发的光解离光谱

在超声分子束条件下,由423、420、412.2和408.4nm的电离激光使OCS分子通过[3+1]共振增强多光子电离(REMPI)制备出OCS+(X2Π)离子后,在260-325nm范围内扫描解离激光获得了OCS+离子经由A2Π3/2←X2Π3/2(000)和A2Π1/2←X2Π1/2(000,001)跃迁的分质量光解离谱(母体离子OCS+的凹陷谱和碎片离子S+的增强谱).其中A2Π1/2←X2Π1/2(001)跃迁的光解离谱是首次观察到.由A2Π3/2←X2Π3/2(000)光解离谱得到了A2Π3/2电子态的光谱常数T0=31411.3cm-1,ν1=814.3cm-1;由A2Π1/2←X2Π1/2(000)光解离谱得到了A2Π1/2电子态的光谱常数ν1=816cm-1,ν2=(380.4±2.8)cm-1,ν3=(2052.7±5.1)cm-1,而从A2Π1/2←X2Π1/2(001)光解离谱拟合出的A2Π1/2电子态的ν1(786.4cm-1)稍有不同,表明在A2Π1/2←X2Π1/2(001)跃迁中X2П1/2电子态的C-O键振动(ν3)激发影响了A2Π1/2电子态C-S键的振动(ν1).实验结果表明:在A2Π1/2←X2Π1/2(000,001)跃迁的光解离谱中能够显著观察到属于A2Π电子态的ν2弯曲振动模激发的谱峰,例如A2Π1/2(020,120,021,…),而在A2П3/2(υ1υ2υ3)←X2Π3/2(000)跃迁的光解离谱中几乎没有观察到属于ν2弯曲振动模激发的谱峰.这种弯曲振动激发和A2П电子态的旋轨分裂分量(Ω)的相关性可以通过A2Π电子态的Fermi共振和Renner-Teller效应来解释.

Dissociation of the OCS+ ion in low-lying electronic states studied using multiconfiguration second-order perturbation theory

Complete active space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) and multiconfiguration second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) calculations with atomic natural orbital basis sets were performed to investigate the S-loss direct dissociation of the 1 2Pi(X 2Pi), 2 2Pi(A 2Pi), 1 2Sigma+(B 2Sigma+), 1 4Sigma-, 1 2Sigma-, and 1 2Delta states of the OCS+ ion and the predissociations of the 1 2Pi, 2 2Pi, and 1 2Sigma+ states. Our calculations indicate that the S-loss dissociation products of the OCS(+) ion in the six states are the ground-state CO molecule plus the S+ ion in different electronic states. The CASPT2//CASSCF potential energy curves were calculated for the S-loss dissociation from the six states. The calculations indicate that the dissociation of the 1 4Sigma- state leads to the CO + S+ (4Su) products representing the first dissociation limit; the dissociations of the 1 2Pi, 1 2Sigma-, and 1 2Delta states lead to the CO + S+(2Du) products representing the second dissociation limit; and the dissociations of the 2 2Pi and 1 2Sigma+ states lead to the CO + S+(2Pu) products representing the third dissociation limit. Seams of the 1 2Pi-1 4Sigma-, 2 2Pi-1 4Sigma-, 2 2Pi-1 2Sigma-, 2 2Pi-1 2Delta, and 1 2Sigma(+)-1 4Sigma- potential energy surface intersections were calculated at the CASPT2 level, and the minima along the seams were located. The calculations indicate that within the experimental energy range (15.07-16.0 eV) the 2 2Pi(A 2Pi) state can be predissociated by 1 4Sigma- forming the S+(4Su) ion and can undergo internal conversion to 1 2Pi followed by the direct dissociation of 1 2Pi forming S+(2Du) and that within the experimental energy range (16.04-16.54 eV) the 1 2Sigma+(B 2Sigma+) state can be predissociated by 1 4Sigma- forming the S+(4Su) ion and can undergo internal conversion to 2 2Pi followed by the predissociation of 2 2Pi by 1 2Sigma- and 1 2Delta forming the S+(2Du) ion. These indications are in line with the experimental fact that both the 4Su and 2Du states of the S+ ion can be formed from the 2 2Pi and 1 2Sigma+ states of the OCS+ ion.     

X, A, B, C, and D states of the C6H5F+ ion studied using multiconfiguration wave functions

Electronic states of the C6H5F+ ion have been studied within C2v symmetry by using the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and multiconfiguration second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) methods in conjunction with an atomic natural orbital basis. Vertical excitation energies (Tv) and relative energies (Tv') at the ground-state geometry of the C6H5F molecule were calculated for 12 states. For the five lowest-lying states, 1(2)B1, 1(2)A2, 2(2)B1, 1(2)B2, and 1(2)A1, geometries and vibrational frequencies were calculated at the CASSCF level, and adiabatic excitation energies (T0) and potential energy curves (PEC) for F-loss dissociations were calculated at the CASPT2//CASSCF level. On the basis of the CASPT2 T0 calculations, we assign the X, A, B, C, and D states of the ion to 1(2)B1, 1(2)A2, 2(2)B1, 1(2)B2, and 1(2)A1, respectively, which supports the suggested assignment of the B state to (2)(2)B1 by Anand et al. based on their experiments. Our CASPT2 Tv and Tv' calculations and our MRCI T0, Tv, and Tv' calculations all indicate that the 2(2)B1 state of C6H5F+ lies below 1(2)B2. By checking the relative energies of the asymptote products and checking the fragmental geometries and the charge and spin density populations in the asymptote products along the CASPT2//CASSCF PECs, we conclude that the 1(2)B1, 1(2)B2, and 1(2)A1 states of C6H5F+ correlate with C6H5+ (1(1)A1) + F (2P) (the first dissociation limit). The energy increases monotonically along the 1(2)B1 PEC, and there are barriers and minima along the 1(2)B2 and 1(2)A1 PECs. The predicted appearance potential value for C6H5+ (1(1)A1) is very close to the average of the experimental values. Our CASPT2//CASSCF PEC calculations have led to the conclusion that the 1(2)A2 state of C6H5F+ correlates with the third dissociation limit of C6H5+ (1(1)A2) + F (2P), and a preliminary discussion is presented.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of mono- and bisfunctional o-carboranes

Functionalized o-carboranes are interesting ligands for transition metals. Reaction of LiC2B10H11 with Me2NCH2CH2Cl in toluene afforded 1-Me2NCH2CH2-1,2-C2B10H11 (1). Treatment of 1 with 1 equiv. of n-BuLi gave [(Me2NCH2CH2)C2B10H10]Li ([1]Li), which was a very useful synthon for the production of bisfunctional o-carboranes. Reaction of [1]Li with RCH2CH2Cl afforded 1-Me2NCH2CH2-2-RCH2CH2-1,2-C2B10H10 (R = Me2N (2), MeO (3)). 1 and 2 were also prepared from the reaction of Li2C2B10H10 with excess Me2NCH2CH2Cl. Treatment of [1]Li with excess MeI or allyl bromide gave the ionic salts, [1-Me3NCH2CH2-2-Me-1,2-C2B10H10][I] (4) and [1-Me2N(CH2=CHCH2)CH2CH2-2-(CH2=CHCH2)-1,2-C2B10H10][Br] (6), respectively. Interaction of [1]Li with 1 equiv. of allyl bromide afforded 1-Me2NCH2CH2-2-(CH2=CHCH2)-1,2-C2B10H10 (5). Treatment of [1]Li with excess dimethylfulvene afforded 1-Me2NCH2CH2-2-C5H5CMe2-1,2-C2B10H10 (7). Interaction of [1]Li with excess ethylene oxide afforded an unexpected product 1-HOCH2CH2-2-(CH2=CH)-1,2-C2B10H10 (8). 1 and 3 were conveniently converted into the corresponding deborated compounds, 7-Me2NHCH2CH2-7,8-C2B9H11 (9) and 7-Me2NHCH2CH2-8-MeOCH2CH2-7,8-C2B9H10 (10), respectively, in MeOH-MeOK solution. All of these compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses. The solid-state structures of 4 and 6-10 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analyses.     

Low Spin State Dinuclear Fe~Ⅲ, Ni~Ⅱ and Cu~Ⅱ Complexes Supported by 1-Amino-2-indanol Schiff Base Derivatives

Four complexes of compositions [Fe_2(L~1)_2](1), [Ni_2(L~1)_2](2), [Ni_2(L~2)_2](3) and [Cu_2(L~2)_2](4)(H_2L~1 = 1-(((2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1 H-inden-1-yl)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol, H_2L~2 = 4-((2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1 H-inden-1-yl)imino)pentan-2-one) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. The structures of 1~4 were characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. The magnetic properties of these four complexes are investigated. The dc magnetic measurements indicate that the metal ions of 1, 2 and 3 are in the low spin state, revealing the strong ligand field character of 1-amino-2-indanol. This work provides an effective approach to coordination complexes possessing low spin state metal centers.     

分散体系中任意形状的胶粒模型与相互作用能——Ⅱ、不等同球颗粒

鉴于不等同球颗粒在胶体化学中的重要性,所以它一直引起人们在理论上的关注。Hogg、Healy和Fuerstenau(HHF)对Poisson-Boltzmann方程引用Debye-Hückl近似,得出不同平行平板型颗粒在恒电位表面时相互作用能计算公式,进而HHF用Derjaguin法得出不等同球颗粒相互作用能的表达式。虽然HHF的公式仅适用低电位的情况,但它的表达式特别简单,因而一直被广泛使用。Ohshima等(OCHW)对球颗粒做了曲率校正,Barouch等(BM)对Poisson-Boltzmann方程提出二维解法,使不等同球颗粒的相互作用能的计算有了改进和提高。本文根据我们提出的模型和方法,对HHF公式也做了曲率校正,结果表明它和OCHW的曲率校正结果相当,但它的表达式却要简单得多。     

Haptoglobin subtyping with anti-haptoglobin alpha chain antibodies

Specific antibodies against the human haptoglobin (HP) alpha chain were raised and used for immunoblotting after isoelectric focusing to determine Hp alpha subtypes in a reproducible and simplified manner. By eliminating the staining of the HP beta chain, HP alpha subtypes were visualized more precisely and simply than by previously reported methods. Subtypes of a total of 1211 sera, obtained from two different populations in Japan, were examined by the new method. Four HP alpha subtypes (HP 1S-1S,2FS-1S, 2FS-2FS and 2FS-2SS) and five subtypes combined with a new variant (HP 2FS-1V1, 2V1-1S, 2FS-2V1, 2FS-2V2 and 2FS-2V3) were observed. HP 1V1 belonged to HP alpha 1, and HP 2V1, 2V2 and 2V3 belonged to HP alpha 2, and their alleles were designated HP A*1V1, HP A*2V1, HP A*2V2 and HP A*2V3, respectively. The allele frequencies were calculated to be as follows: HP A*1S, 0.2597; HP A*1V1, 0.0004; HP A*2FS, 0.7333; HP A*2SS, 0.0008; HP A*2V1, 0.0045; HP A*2V2, 0.0008; and HP A*2V3, 0.0004. The allele frequency of HP A*2SS, which is common in the European population, is less frequent than HP A*2V1 in the Japanese population.     

Multiconfigurational self-consistent field and multireference internally contracted configuration interaction studies on the excited states of weakly bonded NO2 dimer (N2O4)

In this paper, the vertical excitation energies of total of 32 states of N(2)O(4) including the lowest two singlet states and two triplet states of each of the A(g), B(3u), B(2u), B(1g), B(1u), B(2g), B(3g), and A(u) symmetries were calculated at multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) and the multireference internally contracted configuration interaction (MRCI) levels of theory on the active space (15o,16e) with aug-cc-pVDZ basis set. The potential energy curves of the eight singlet states(1 (1)A(g), 1 (1)B(3u), 1 (1)B(2u), 1 (1)B(1g), 1 (1)B(1u), 1 (1)B(2g), 1 (1)B(3g), and 1 (1)A(u)) and eight triplet states (1 (3)A(g), 1 (3)B(3u), 1 (3)B(2u), 1 (3)B(1g), 1 (3)B(1u), 1 (3)B(2g), 1 (3)B(3g), and 1 (3)A(u)) were calculated at MCSCF and MRCI levels of theory on the active space (15o,16e) with aug-cc-pVDZ basis set along the N-N distance. The vertical excitation energies of 1 (1)B(3u), 1 (1)B(2u), and 1 (1)B(1u) states with nonzero transition moment are 4.60 eV (269.6 nm), 6.06 eV (204.6 nm), and 7.71 eV (160.8 nm), respectively, at MRCI level of theory. The photodissociation asymptotics were assigned as NO(2)(X (2)A(1))+NO(2)(X (2)A(1)) for ground state 1 (1)A(g) and the 1 (3)B(1u) state, NO(2)(X (2)A(1))+NO(2)(1 (2)A(2)) for the 1 (1)B(1g), 1 (3)B(1g), 1 (1)A(u), and 1 (3)A(u) states, NO(2)(X (2)A(1))+NO(2)(1 (2)B(1)) for the 1 (1)B(3u), 1 (3)B(3u), 1 (1)B(2g), and 1 (3)B(2g) states, and NO(2)(X (2)A(1))+NO(2)(1 (2)B(2)) for the 1 (1)B(2u), 1 (3)B(2u), 1 (1)B(3g), and 1 (3)B(3g) states.

Further examples of the failure of surrogates to properly model the structural and hydrothermal chemistry of transuranium elements: insights provided by uranium and neptunium diphosphonates

In situ hydrothermal reduction of Np(VI) to Np(IV) in the presence of methylenediphosphonic acid (C1P2) results in the crystallization of Np[CH2(PO3)2](H2O)2 (NpC1P2-1). Similar reactions have been explored with U(VI) resulting in the isolation of the U(IV) diphosphonate U[CH2(PO3)2](H2O) (UC1P2-1), and the two U(VI) diphosphonates (UO2)2[CH2(PO3)2](H2O)3.H2O (UC1P2-2) and UO2[CH2(PO3H)2](H2O) (UC1P2-3). Single crystal diffraction studies of NpC1P2-1 reveal that it consists of eight-coordinate Np(IV) bound by diphosphonate anions and two coordinating water molecules to create a polar three-dimensional framework structure wherein the water molecules reside in channels. The structure of UC1P2-1 is similar to that of NpC1P2-1 in that it also adopts a three-dimensional structure. However, the U(IV) centers are seven-coordinate with only a single bound water molecule. UC1P2-2 and UC1P2-3 both contain U(VI). Nevertheless, their structures are quite distinct with UC1P2-2 being composed of corrugated layers containing UO 6 and UO 7 units bridged by C1P2; whereas, UC1P2-3 is found as a polar three-dimensional network structure containing only pentagonal bipyramidal U(VI). Fluorescence measurements on UC1P2-2 and UC1P2-3 exhibit emission from the uranyl moieties with classical vibronic fine-structure.     

Bimetallic effects in homopolymerization of styrene and copolymerization of ethylene and styrenic comonomers: scope, kinetics, and mechanism

This contribution describes the homopolymerization of styrene and the copolymerization of ethylene and styrenic comonomers mediated by the single-site bimetallic "constrained geometry catalysts" (CGCs), (mu-CH2CH2-3,3'){(eta(5)-indenyl)[1-Me2Si(tBuN)](TiMe2)}2 [EBICGC(TiMe2)2; Ti2], (mu-CH2CH2-3,3'){(eta(5)-indenyl)[1-Me2Si(tBuN)](ZrMe2)}2 [EBICGC(ZrMe2)2; Zr2], (mu-CH2-3,3'){(eta(5)-indenyl)[1-Me2Si(tBuN)](TiMe2)}2 [MBICGC(TiMe2)2; C1-Ti2], and (mu-CH2-3,3'){(eta(5)-indenyl)[1-Me2Si(tBuN)](ZrMe2)}2 [MBICGC(ZrMe2)2; C1-Zr2], in combination with the borate activator/cocatalyst Ph3C+ B(C6F5)4- (B1). Under identical styrene homopolymerization conditions, C1-Ti2 + B1 and Ti2 + B1 exhibit approximately 65 and approximately 35 times greater polymerization activities, respectively, than does monometallic [1-Me2Si(3-ethylindenyl)(tBuN)]TiMe2 (Ti1) + B1. C1-Zr2 + B1 and Zr2 + B1 exhibit approximately 8 and approximately 4 times greater polymerization activities, respectively, than does the monometallic control [1-Me2Si(3-ethylindenyl)(tBuN)]ZrMe2 (Zr1) + B1. NMR analyses show that the bimetallic catalysts suppress the regiochemical insertion selectivity exhibited by the monometallic analogues. In ethylene copolymerization, Ti2 + B1 enchains 15.4% more styrene (B), 28.9% more 4-methylstyrene (C), 45.4% more 4-fluorostyrene (D), 41.2% more 4-chlorostyrene (E), and 31.0% more 4-bromostyrene (F) than does Ti1 + B1. This observed bimetallic chemoselectivity effect follows the same general trend as the pi-electron density on the styrenic ipso carbon (D > E > F > C > B). Kinetic studies reveal that both Ti2 + B1 and Ti1 + B1-mediated ethylene-styrene copolymerizations follow second-order Markovian statistics and tend to be alternating. Moreover, calculated reactivity ratios indicate that Ti2 + B1 favors styrene insertion more than does Ti1 + B1. All the organozirconium complexes (C1-Zr2, Zr2, and Zr1) are found to be incompetent for ethylene-styrene copolymerization, yielding only mixtures of polyethylene and polystyrene. Model compound (mu-CH2CH2-3,3'){(eta(5)-indenyl)[1-Me2Si(tBuN)][Ti(CH2Ph)2]}2 {EBICGC[Ti(CH2Ph)2]2; Ti2(CH2Ph)4} was designed, synthesized, and structurally characterized. In situ activation studies with cocatalyst B(C6F5)3 suggest an eta(1)-coordination mode for the benzyl groups, thus supporting the proposed polymerization mechanism. For ethylene-styrene copolymerization, polar solvents are found to increase copolymerization activities and coproduce atactic polystyrene impurities in addition to ethylene-co-styrene, without diminishing the comonomer incorporation selectivity. Both homopolymerization and copolymerization results argue that substantial cooperative effects between catalytic sites are operative.     

Cobalt-catalyzed highly regio- and stereoselective intermolecular reductive coupling of alkynes with conjugated alkenes

In the presence of Co(PPh3)2I2, PPh3, water, and zinc powder, the reaction of alkynes (R1CCR2: R1 = Ph, R2 = Me (1a); R1 = Ph, R2 = Ph (1b); R1 = Et, R2 = Et (1c); R1 = Ph, R2 = (CH2)3OH (1d); R1 = CO2Et, R2 = Ph (1e); R1 = CO2Me, R2 = (CH2)4CH3 (1f); R1 = CO2Et, R2 = SiMe3 (1g)) with alkenes having an electron-withdrawing substituent (CH2=CHR: R = CO2Bu (2a), CN (2b), SO2Ph (2c) and CO2Me (2d)) proceeded smoothly in acetonitrile to give the corresponding reductive coupling products (R1HC=CR2CH2CH2R, 3a-j) in fair to excellent yields. This reductive coupling is highly regio- and stereoselective; only one isomer was observed for each reaction. The results of an isotope-labeling experiment using D2O (99%) to replace normal water for the reductive coupling of vinyl phenyl sulfone 2c with alkyne 1a revealed that the product is E-Ph(D)C=CMeCH2CH(D)SO2Ph deuterated at the olefinic proton and one of the protons of the alpha-methylene group in 84 and 96%, respectively. Possible mechanisms for this highly regio- and stereoselective ene-yne catalytic reaction are proposed.

Ceometries,Energetics and Spectroscopic Properties of Oxygen Clusters Oxy (x=2～6, y=-2～2)

The geometries, energetics and spectroscopic properties of oxygen clusters, Oxy(x=2~6, y=-2~2), were investigated at the B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) level. The CASSCF calculations were carried out for the ground and excited states of3O2and2O2+. The total energy is3O2(3Σg-)<2O2-(2Πgi)<1O2(1Δg)<1O2-2(1Σg+)<2O2+(2Πg)<1O2+2(1Σg+). The relative energy of the active doublet anion of oxygen molecule,2O2-(2Πgi), is only 28 kJ/mol higher than the triplet neutral oxygen molecule,3O2(3Σg-). The calculated O-O vibrational frequencies all are in good agreement with the experimental values. They are 1577 (1580), 1139 (1090), 1563 (1484), 627 (615~545) and 1993 (1905) cm-1, where the O-O vibrational frequency values in parentheses are experimental values, for3O2(3Σg-),2O2-(2Πgi),1O2(1Δg),1O2-2(1Σg+) and2O2+(2Πg), respectively. Moreover, the O-O vibrational frequency of1O2+2(1Σg+) was computed as 2368 cm-1which has not been reported before at both experimental and theoretical levels. Both bent and linear geometries of O3were studied. The bent-types of O3are more favorable than the linear-type in energy. Three types of structure for oxygen trimers are calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) level. They are the structure-I with an obtuse angle of O-O-O,the structure-II with an acute angle of O-O-O, and the structure-III of linear type. For a bent-type structure of O3species (structure-I), the total enegy is2O3-(2B1)<1O3(1A1)<3O3(3B2)<1O3-2(1A1)<2O3+(2A1). The optimization of geometry at B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) level indicated that the species of2O3-(2B1) with 1.3573 of O-O bond length and 115.6584o of O-O-O bond anger is the ground state of O3. The total energy of O4species and their ions is2O4-(Cs,2A′, bend-type)<2O4-(C2v,2A2,face-centered triangle-type)<2O4-(D∞h,2Σg, linear-type)<1O4(Cs,1A′, bend-type)<1O4(D∞h,1Σg, linear-type)<1O4(D4h,1A1g, square-type)<1O4(C2v,1A1, face-centered triangle-type)<2O4-(D4h,1A1g, square-type)<2O4+(D∞h,2Σg, linear-type)<2O4+(Cs,1A′, bend-type). The species with the lowest relative energy is an anion,2O4-(Cs,2A′, bendtype), with chair form geometry and characteristic vibronic frequencies of 1179 and 1349 cm-1. The relative energy of1O5(C2v,1A1) with coplanar-triangle-bicone geometry is the lowest among the O5species and their ions, which may be a resonance structure with1O5(C2v,1A1) of A type. Their characteristic vibronic frequency is 1302 cm-1. The relative energy of the O6species and their ions with hexagon geometry is lower than one with linear geometry. Their infrared vi-bronic intensity may be weak and unobservable but the Raman vibronic intensity may be strong and observable based on their symmetry.     

Tuning copper-dioxygen reactivity and exogenous substrate oxidations via alterations in ligand electronics

Copper(I)-dioxygen adducts are important in biological and industrial processes. For the first time we explore the relationship between ligand electronics, CuI-O2 adduct formation and exogenous substrate reactivity. The copper(I) complexes [CuI(R-MePY2)]+ (1R, where R = Cl, H, MeO, Me2N) were prepared; where R-MePY2 are 4-pyridyl substituted bis[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]methylamine chelates. Both the redox potential of 1R (ranging from E1/2 = -270 mV for 1Cl to -440 mV for 1MeN vs FeCp2/FeCp2+) and nuCO of the CO adducts of 1R (ranging from 2093 cm-1 for 1Cl-CO to 2075 cm-1 for 1Me2N-CO) display modest but expected systematic shifts. Dioxygen readily reacts with 1H, 1MeO, and 1Me2N, forming the side-on peroxo-CuII2 complexes [{CuII(R-MePY2)}2(O2)]2+ (2R, also containing some bis-mu-oxo-CuIII2 isomer), but there is no reaction with 1Cl. Stopped-flow studies in dichloromethane show that the formation of 2Me2N from dioxygen and 1Me2N proceeds with a k = 8.2(6) x 104 M-2 s-1 (183 K, DeltaH = -20.3(6) kJ mol-1, DeltaS = -219(3) J mol-1 K-1). Solutions of 2R readily oxidize exogenous substrates (9,10-dihydroanthracene --> anthracene, tetrahydrofuran (THF) --> 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran (THF-OH), N,N-dimethylaniline --> N-methylaniline and formaldehyde, benzyl alcohol --> benzaldehyde, benzhydrol --> benzophenone, and methanol --> formaldehyde), forming the bis-mu-hydroxo-CuII2 complexes [{CuII(R-MePY2)(OH)}2]2+ (3R). Product yields increase as the R-group is made more electron-donating, and in some cases are quantitative with 2Me2N. Pseudo-first-order rate constants for THF and methanol oxidation reactions demonstrate a remarkable R-group dependence, again favoring the strongest ligand donor (i.e., R = Me2N). For THF oxidation to THF-OH a nearly 1500-fold increase in reaction rate is observed (kobs = 2(1) x 10-5 s-1 for 2H to 3(1) x 10-2 s-1 for 2Me2N), while methanol oxidation to formaldehyde exhibits an approximately 2000-fold increase (kobs = 5(1) x 10-5 s-1 for 2H to 1(1) x 10-1 s-1 for 2Me2N).
