The structure and relative stability of methanol complexes with various cyclic ketones, lactones, lactams, and N-methyl lactams from three- to seven-membered rings have been investigated using the density functional theory method. The geometries, harmonic frequencies, and energies were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level. Three stable structures, cis-a, cis-b, and trans, with respect to the ring oxygen (nitrogen) atom, were found to be local minima of the potential energy surface. For lactones and N-methyl lactams, the most stable structure is trans; it is stabilized, as in cyclic ketones, through the conventional hydrogen bond (HB) interaction between the basic carbonyl oxygen and the acidic methanolic hydrogen and an unconventional HB interaction between the methanolic oxygen and the CH hydrogen, in the alpha position of the carbonyl group. For unsubstituted lactams, the cis-a structure, stabilized through a HB interaction between the NH group and the methanol oxygen in addition to the conventional HB interaction, is the most stable. The topological properties of the electron density ratify the existence of conventional (N,O-H. . .O) and unconventional (C-H. . .O) hydrogen bonding. A good correlation was found between the HB distances and the electron density at the HB critical point. The unsubstituted lactams yield more stable complexes with methanol than N-methyl lactams, lactones, and cyclic ketones. In the most stable complexes, both components behave simultaneously as a HB donor and as a HB acceptor. 相似文献
Substituent effect on the structure and electronic properties of H2Si=SiHAr (Ar = p-C6H4X; X = NH2, OH, Me, H, F, Cl, CHO, COOH, CN, NO2) molecules are studied at the CAM-B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. Energy decomposition analysis (EDA) is used as a useful tool for illustrating the interaction between H2Si and SiHAr fragments in HArSi=SiH2 molecules. Energetic analysis reveals that the singlet state of the fragments is more stable than triplet state. Also, interactions are stronger in the presence of electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) in comparison to electron donating groups (EDGs). EDG and EDG effects are investigated on the stability of fragments, frontier orbital energy, distortion, HOMO–LUMO gap, electron-donating (ω−) and electron-accepting (ω+) powers of the studied molecules. Then, the correlations between these calculated parameters with the Hammett and Brown constants (σp and σp+, respectively) are provided. Also, time-dependent density functional theory method (TD-DFT) is employed for the determination of the strongest absorption band values (λmax,el) of these molecules. This absorption band is attributed to the HOMO →LUMO transition. 相似文献
The electronic structure and absorption spectra of two D-π-A-type organic dyes with different anchoring groups have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). The effect of anchoring groups on the electronic absorption of the free dyes on (TiO2)9 has been studied for the two carbazole dyes (MK1 and MK2). Results from DFT calculations indicate that hydroxamic acid anchoring group in MK2 lead to much stronger intermolecular charge transfer and adsorption energies on (TiO2)9 cluster. The effect of four different XC functionals (B3LYP, ωB97xD, M06-2X, and CAM-B3LYP) on the transition energies has been tested in order to explore the valid functional for the studied system. The wavelength values from the ωB97xD/6-31+G** level of theory are in excellent agreement with experimental data so this functional was considered to calculate the electronic absorption of the two studied dyes. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), and the gap energy (H–L) of the studied dyes are slightly influenced by change of anchoring group. Results reveal that the LUMO energy levels of all studied dyes are higher than the conduction band (CB) of TiO2 (??4.00 eV). Deprotonation process enhances the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells during decreasing adsorption energy of dyes with (TiO2)9 cluster.
A mass spectrometer fast atom bombardment source has been used to synthesize, in the gas phase, the ion-molecule complexes of transition-metal ions (Ni+, CO+, Fe+, and Mn+) with α- or β-unsaturated alkenenitriles, RCH=CHCN (R=H, CH3, and C2H5) and CH3CH=CHCH2CN, and 2-methyl glutaronitrile. The metastable ion fragmentations of the complexes are monitored in the first held-free region by B/E linked scans. Surprisingly, an intense HCN loss via an intermediate (CnH2n?2)?M+?(HCN) is observed for the complexes of the alkenenitriles. The metal ions significantly affect the fragmentation processes. The coexistence of both end-on and side-on coordination modes is suggested to explain the fragmentations. 相似文献
In this study, we synthesized two novel carboxylic acid and carboxylate compounds, both of which had an amide group linked with an azomethine moiety to introduce photoinduced switching of the intramolecular NH...O hydrogen bond. We suggest that the cis-carboxylate compound forms a stronger intramolecular NH...O hydrogen bond than the cis-carboxylic acid compound. 相似文献
The hydrolysis of cellulose into saccharides using a range of solid catalysts is investigated for potential application in the environmentally benign saccharification of cellulose. Crystalline pure cellulose is not hydrolyzed by conventional strong solid Br?nsted acid catalysts such as niobic acid, H-mordenite, Nafion and Amberlyst-15, whereas amorphous carbon bearing SO 3H, COOH, and OH function as an efficient catalyst for the reaction. The apparent activation energy for the hydrolysis of cellulose into glucose using the carbon catalyst is estimated to be 110 kJ mol (-1), smaller than that for sulfuric acid under optimal conditions (170 kJ mol (-1)). The carbon catalyst can be readily separated from the saccharide solution after reaction for reuse in the reaction without loss of activity. The catalytic performance of the carbon catalyst is attributed to the ability of the material to adsorb beta-1,4 glucan, which does not adsorb to other solid acids. 相似文献

has been studied. The equation defines the relationship between the experimental values of the covalent (r1) and hydrogen (r2) bond lengths in O-H...O bridges for describing the relation between the experimental interatomic distances in N-H...N bridges
and the parameters of X-H...X fragments (X = O, N, F, Cl) calculated by the density functional method (B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p)) for neutral, positive, and negative molecular complexes. Here r0 is the mean value of the X-H bond length in free molecules; rsym is the X...H distance in the symmetrical bridge; and b is the coefficient defined by the equation b = (rsym − r0)/(ln2)3/5. This equation allows us to adequately describe the relationships between bond lengths in nearly linear hydrogen bridges
formed by oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, and chlorine atoms. It is thus universal and can be used in studies of a wide range
of substances. 相似文献
Isomeric structures and energies of three kinds of lithofluorosilylenoids, R2SiLiF (R = NH2, OH, F) were studied using theab initio molecular orbital theory. The calculations show that thermal stability of the three-membered ring structures of these three
kinds of silylenoids decreases in the order of substituents NH2 > OH > F because of the conjugation between NH2, OH or F and Si atom. The interaction of substituents R with Li atom makes R2SiLiF have a structure with two Li-A-Si-F (A = N, O, F) four-membered rings, which is the most stable of the isomers of each
of three kinds of silylenoids and whose stability decreases in the order of substituents F > OH > NH2. Inductive effect of substituents influences the thermal stability of the linear structure of silylenoids. 相似文献
