A CNDO/2 calculation of a rearrangement in cyclopentadienylsilane

The ground state geometry of cyclopentadienylsilane and the transition state geometry for SiH₃ group migration have been calculated by the CNDO technique, a semi-empirical version of the LCAO MO SCF approach.     

A CNDO/2 calculation on a complex between ethylene and chlorine

CNDO/2 calculations have been carried out for an ethylene chlorine complex, with the halogen orthogonal or parallel to the C-C bond. For comparison similar calculations were also carried out for ethylene and fluorine. The results are compared to estimates from experiments on related complexes and from Mulliken's resonance theory. It is concluded that the CNDO/2 calculations grossly overestimate the ethylene-chlorine interaction in particular if d-orbitals on chlorine are included in the AO-basis. The explanation for this may be the too high d-orbital exponent used here and the wrong asymptotic behaviour of the Slater orbitals.

Zusammenfassung Es werden CNDO/2-Rechnungen für zwei Konformationen eines Äthylen-Chlor-Komplexes und eines Fluor-Analogens berichtet und die Resultate mit der Resonanztheorie von Mulliken und mit experimentellen Daten verglichen. Es ergibt sich, daß bei CNDO/2-Rechnungen die ChlorÄthylen-Wechselwirkung stark überschätzt wird, insbesondere, wenn d-Orbitale eingeschlossen werden. Letzteres könnte auch an einem großen Exponenten bei diesen Funktionen oder am falschen asymptotischen Verlauf von Slater-Funktionen liegen.

Résumé Calculs CNDO/2 pour un complexe ethylène-chlore avec l'halogène orthogonal ou parallèle à la liaison C-C. A titre de comparaison des calculs analogues ont été aussi effectués pour l'éthylène et le fluor. Les résultats sont comparés à des estimations expérimentales sur des complexes voisins et à des estimations provenant de la théorie de la résonance de Mulliken. La conclusion est que les calculs CNDO/2 surestiment beaucoup l'interaction éthylène-chlore, en particulier lorsque l'on inclut des orbitales d dans la base des orbitales atomiques. La raison peut s'en trouver dans les exposants trop élevés des orbitales d et dans le mauvais comportement asymptotique des orbitales de Slater.

CNDO/2 calculation of prototropic rearrangement in cyclopentadiene

A self-consistent procedure has been worked out for the optimisation of geometrical parameters of ground and transition states of molecular systems and chemical reactions. For cyclopentadiene molecule, the CNDO/2 method is used to calculate a number of the geometrical configurations which lie at the reaction co-ordinates corresponding to possible channels of the proton migration.     

A pair-excitation MCSCF calculation based on CNDO/INDO approximation I

Second-order multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF ) calculation has been programmed on the basis of CNDO /INDO molecular orbital bases, in which the configuration space employed is restricted within pair-excitations. Test calculations have been carried out for 17 small molecules. All the MCSCF ground states of these molecules have been successfully converged to their respective optimal states by employing a simple weighting scheme. This procedure provides a great savings in computer time. The MCSCF calculation on azetidine required only 27 min on a HITAC M-680H. The MCSCF energies of HF, F₂, and BH show improved behaviors up to large atomic distances (～7au).     

CNDO/2 calculation on gas-phase basicity of amines,alcohols and ethers

The gas-phase basicity of about seventy compounds containing N or O have been calculated by means of the CNDO/2 method. For alkylamines, alcohols, ethers and carbonyl compounds, computational results agree qualitatively with the experimental values. We have also discussed the relationships between gas-phase basicities and charge distributions and ionization potentials of these molecules.     

胺丶醇丶醚类化合物气相碱性的CNDO/2计算

The gas-phase basicities of compounds can be measured by their proton affinities. In this paper we he calculated the gas-phase basicities of about seventy compounds containing N or O by means of the method CNDO/2. For the alkylamines, alcohols, ethers and carbonyl compounds, computational results agree qualitatively with the experimental values. The sequences of gas-phase basicities for the series of these compounds are as follows: Et2NH>Me3N>t-BuNH2>Me2NH>i-PrNH2>n-BuNH2>n-PrNH2>EtNH2>MeNH2>NH3; Et2O>EtOMe>t-BuOH>Me2O>i-PrOH>n-BuOH>n-PrOH>EtOH>MeOH>H2O; n-PrCHO>EtCHO>MeCHO>HCHO; n-BuCO2H>n-PrCO2H>EtCO2H>MeCO2H>HCO2H; HCO2Bu-n>HCO2Pr-N>HCO2Et>HCO2Me>HCO2H Obviously, alkyl substitution plays a role to increase the gas-phase basicities. The squence of increasing effectiveness is t-Bu>i-Pr>n-Bu>n-Pr>Et>Me For the amines containing heteroatoms investigated here, the gas-phase basicities have the following order repectively: CH3NH2>NH2NH2>NH2OH>NH2F>NHF2>NF3 The gas-phase basicities of these compounds change regularly with various substitutents. For the aliphatic compounds, the gas-phase basicity increases with thosizo and the degree of branching of the alkyl groups. For the amines containing heteroatoms, the gas-phase basicity decreases with increasing of the electro-negativity of the substitutent. For the relationship between the gas-phase basksity and the charge distribution and the ionization potentials, the conclusions are as follows: (1) The gas-phase basicities of the homologous compounds are proportional to the electron density of the atom N or O, but those of Rn NH3-n and Rn OH2-n are inversely proportional to the electron denisty of atom N or O. This shows that the base strength of the molecule cannot be determined solely by the electron density of the individual atom. (2) In the protonation reaction the alkyl groups spread the charges from the charged center. This effect enables protonated cations to become more stable because of the charge distribution av     

“Universal” CNDO/2 method (CNDO/2-U)

A note on the importance of including monoatomic overlap densities in the calculation of CNDO/2 charge distributions

It is demonstrated that in the calculation of CNDO/2 charge density distributions the monoatomic overlap densities necessarily must be taken into account. Otherwise electron densities are obtained which are not invariant to molecular rotations and generally of wrong symmetry.     

A CNDO/2 study of the ethylene-chlorine reaction

CNDO/2 calculations have been carried out of the energies of reaction and changes in charge distribution for some reactions involving the ethylene chlorine complex. The addition of chlorine to ethylene may involve the attack of a chloride ion on the ethylene chlorine complex.     

The fluorination of 2,4,5-trichloro-6-methylpyrimidine; Experimental study and CNDO/2 calculation

A study of the kinetics and mechanism of the fluorination of 2,4,5-trichloro-6-methylpyrimidine (TCMP) to form 2,4-difluoro-5-chloro-6-methylpyrimidine (DFCMP) in polar aprotic solvents with KF or NaF has been performed. The rate constants of the fluorination under various conditions were measured. This fluorination proceeds as a pseudo-first-order consecutive reaction. The values of the activation enthalpy Δ H≠, the activation entropy Δ S≠ and Arrhenius activation energy Δ Ea were evaluated and the influence of solvents, catalysts and fluorinating agents was discussed. The CNDO/2 method has been applied to the calculation of the reaction path of the fluorination and the energy levels of the components. The calculated results agree well with experimental observation.

顺铂与DNA键合机制的CNDO/2研究

本文用CNDO/2法研究了顺铂与DNA键合的机制.计算结果指出,在所考虑的几个模型配合物中,从Pt-N_7间重叠集居和双原子能分析,以顺铂与两个鸟嘌呤的N_7键合形成[(NH_3)_2PtG_2]~(2 )的可能性最大,因而支持了顺铂和DNA的相邻两个鸟嘌呤的N_7键合的链内交联机制.但是,螯合机理不能完全排除,在一定条件下,顺铂可能与一个鸟嘌呤的N_7和O键合形成一定量的螯合物.然而,由于它较[(NH_3)_2PtG_2]~(2 )不稳定,因此,不能成为顺铂伤害癌细胞的主要原因.至于链内交联机理如何造成DNA复制障碍尚待进一步研究.

CNDO/2 calculations of the interactions of formamide and imidazole: Another failure of CNDO/2

The interaction energy curve of the formamide-imidazole system resulting from the CNDO/2 method exhibits a superfluous minimum at a much smaller separation than the sum of the van der Waals radii of the closest atoms, and a low maximum at this latter distance. The relationship of the interaction energies using CNDO/2 and those using the atomic charges on the two molecules is investigated for this system.
