Gel permeation chromatography: On the shape of the calibration plot and molecular size separability

Data obtained from the calibration of GPC columns of different permeabilities with standard polystyrenes are reported. For single columns the logarithm molecular weight–elution volume plot is linear for approximately one and one-half decades in molecular weight. GPC separations are such that the separability of two samples of similar molecular weight improves as their mean molecular weight decreases. Because of this the analysis of high molecular weight polymers can best be accomplished on a series of columns in which each column has a high permeability limit. The elution volume for columns in series is shown to be the sum of the elution volumes of the individual columns. As higher molecular weights are eluted a pronounced tailing effect is observed.     

Influence of the molecular structure and the nature of the solvent on the absorption and fluorescence characteristics of rhodamines

A study of the equilibrium of the molecular forms of rhodamine 19 in aqueous and ethanolic solution is carried out by determining the absorption and fluorescence characteristics of the zwitterionic and the cationic forms of the dye. The optical properties of rhodamine 19 are compared with those obtained for rhodamine 6G and also with those previously reported for rhodamine 3B and for the molecular forms of rhodamine B in water and ethanol. Different aspects of the molecular structure of the rhodamines and solvent effects are discussed, as well as their influence on the photophysical properties of the rhodamines. The aggregation of the molecular forms of rhodamine 19 is also studied in water and ethanol.

Symmetry properties of the lattice dynamics of nonrigid molecular crystals

The symmetry properties of the lattice dynamics of nonrigid molecular crystals are discussed on mass-weighted translational coordinates and inertia moment-weighted rotational coordinates as well as molecular internal normal coordinates in molecular principal axes frame. An equivalent reducible representation of the wavevector group and the classification of molecular crystal normal modes are provided. A detailed illustrative example is presented.     

The calculation of molar polarizabilities by the CNDO/2 method: Correlation with the hydrophobic parameter,log P

Results of molecular orbital (MO) calculations by the complete neglect of differential overlap (CNDO /2) method on 50 small molecules are reported. The summation of calculated atomic polarizabilities are equated with molecular polarizabilities, and these are compared with experimentally determined values. It is found that there is very good agreement between calculated and experimental molecular polarizability. This provides a reliable method for the determination of molecular polarizabilities for compounds for which experimental values are not known. The relationship between log P and polarizability is discussed and analyzed in terms of contributions from electronic components to the partitioning energy.     

The shape of the Lorentz cavity and the internal field in anisotropic fluids

The predictions of the ellipsoidal Lorentz cavity model for different cavity axial ratios are compared with the predictions of a microscopic molecular crystal model for different molecular axial ratios. The models agree when the cavity depolarisation factor equals the crystal Lorentz factor. Numerical calculations show that the axial ratio of the cavity equivalent to the molecule is roughly equal to the molecular axial ratio up to ≈ 5. but increases rapidly thereafter. For molecular axial ratios of 9 and above there is no equivalent cavity. Implications of the results for the internal field in liquid crystals are considered.

Symmetry in the Heitler-London method. II. The determination of the allowed molecular multiplets

In the framework of the Heitler-London method, a method for determining the allowed molecular multiplets is proposed. The method is based on the connection of the total molecular spin with the permutation symmetry of the coordinate wave function and on the isomorphism of the molecular point group with a certain subgroup of the electron permutation group. The method does not depend on the approximation in which the molecular ions are considered.     

First Principle Study on the Rectification of Molecular Junctions Based on the Thiol-ended Oligosilane

The electron transport properties of various molecular junctions based on the thiol-ended oligosilane are investigated through density functional theory combined with non-equilibrium Green's function formalism. Our calculations show that oligosilanes doped by the phenyl and-C10H6 groups demonstrate better rectifying effect and their rectification ratios are up to 15.41 and 65.13 for their molecular junctions. The current-voltage(I-V) curves of all the Au/ modified oligosilane/Au systems in this work are illustrated by frontier molecular orbitals, transmission spectra and density of states under zero bias. And their rectifying behaviors are analyzed through transmission spectra.     

Closed‐form analytical solutions for the calculation of the moments of the molecular electron density

Moments of the molecular electron density can be related directly to several experimental observables, but formerly they have only been accurately calculated through methods which lack consistency with standard quantum chemical methods. Here we report analytical solutions to the basic molecular integrals required to compute the moments of the molecular electron charge density over Gaussian basis functions. These are derived and cast into a practical closed form, suitable to interface with modern codes for the calculation of the molecular electronic structure. Illustrative calculations for the hydrogen molecule, at both the Hartree–Fock and the full configuration interaction levels of theory, are shown and discussed in connection with observables linked directly to some of the calculated moments. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

A study of the decomposition of field ionized doubly charged molecular ions

The dissociation of field ionized doubly charged organic molecular ions into doubly charged fragment ions and neutral fragments is discussed. The kinetic energy released during the dissociation of the singly and doubly charged molecular ions rules out the possibility of a direct correlation between their mechanisms of formation. Further, the pressure as well as the temperature dependence revealed that the singly charged molecular ions are formed by direct ionization of the neutral molecules, while the doubly charged molecular ions are formed through a second ionization process of the adsorbed molecular ions on the field anode surface.     

The First Principle Study on the Rectification of Molecular Junctions Based on the Alkyl-chain-modified Phenyl Benzothiophene Derivative

Using density functional theory(DFT) combined with nonequilibrium Green's function investigates the electron-transport properties of several molecular junctions based on the PBTDT-CH=NH molecule, which is modified by one to four alkyl groups forming PBTDT-(CH_2)_nCH=NH. The electronic structures of the isolated molecules(thiol-ended PBTDT-(CH2)_nCH=N) have been investigated before the electron-transport calculations are performed. The asymmetric current-voltage characteristics have been obtained for the molecular junctions. Rectifying performance of Au/S-PBTDT-CH=N-S/Au molecular junction can be regulated by introducing alkyl chain. The N3 molecular junction exhibits the best rectifying effect. Its maximum rectifying ratio is 878, which is 80 times more than that of the molecular junction based on the original N molecular junction. The current-voltage(I-V) curves of all the sandwich systems in this work are illustrated by transmission spectra and molecular projection density analysis.     

Viscoelastic properties of dendrimers in the melt from nonequlibrium molecular dynamics

The viscoelastic properties of dendrimers of generation 1-4 are studied using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics. Flow properties of dendrimer melts under shear are compared to systems composed of linear chain polymers of the same molecular weight, and the influence of molecular architecture is discussed. Rheological material properties, such as the shear viscosity and normal stress coefficients, are calculated and compared for both systems. We also calculate and compare the microscopic properties of both linear chain and dendrimer molecules, such as their molecular alignment, order parameters and rotational velocities. We find that the highly symmetric shape of dendrimers and their highly constrained geometry allows for substantial differences in their material properties compared to traditional linear polymers of equivalent molecular weight.     

An ab initio method for approximation of the frozen molecular fragment

An ab initio method for calculation on many-electron molecular systems with the approximation of the inactive part of a molecule by frozen molecular fragment is presented. In the following method the SCF calculations are performed in two series. First the molecular orbitals resulting from the first SCF calculation (modest basis set) are localized. In the second SCF run, the basis set is extended for the active part of the molecule, while molecular orbitals of the inactive part, selected from the localized set, are kept frozen. The results are in good agreement with the extended basis set calculation.     

Limits of the plane wave approximation in the measurement of molecular properties

Rescattering electrons offer great potential as probes of molecular properties on ultrafast timescales. The most famous example is molecular tomography, in which high harmonic spectra of oriented molecules are mapped to "tomographic images" of the relevant molecular orbitals. The accuracy of such reconstructions can be greatly affected by the distortion of scattering wave functions from their asymptotic forms due to interactions with the parent ion. We investigate the validity of the commonly used plane wave approximation in molecular tomography, showing how such distortions affect the resulting orbital reconstructions.     

Elemental composition from moment analyses of the low-resolution isotope pattern

The basic principles of an approach to mass spectral elemental analysis based on the moments of the low-resolution isotopic pattern are presented. The moment analyses are faster and more general than conventional methods of isotopic pattern analysis. The procedure is applied to the analysis of compounds which exhibit ‘pure’ molecular ions and the analysis of compounds which produce significant fragment ions at masses overlapping the molecular ion. It appears as though reasonable selectivity can be achieved for low relative molecular mass compounds (relative molecular mass < 400 a) using standard instrumentation and data acquisition softy are. Preliminary studies of instrumental factors affecting the measurement of moments are discussed.     

New concepts in the physics and chemistry op solid polymers fracture

Elementary events in polymer fracture at the molecular level are the breakdowns of single polymeric chains. Breakdown of a stretched macromolecule is accompanied by its mechanical degradation. Comparison of experimental data on the molecular products of thermal and mechanical degradation points to significant distinctions between these two processes. Generation of highly excited (“hot”) molecular products of mechanical degradation by the growing crack cannot be explained in terms of the kinetic concept of polymer fracture. Elaborate theoretical analysis of polymeric chain breakdown and generation of “hot” molecular products in subpicosecond time range is made by numerical molecular dynamic simulation with a computer. The mechanisms of primary and secondary chain breakdowns are established. The principal initiators of breakdowns are localized nonlinear modes of the lattice soliton type. Generation of highly excited (“hot”) molecular products occurs at the initial stage of mechanical degradation (during≈1 picosecond after the first breakdown).
