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.     

Novel mu5-coordination modes of aryl and alkyl ethynides and classification of metal-ligand interactions in silver(I) complexes

Novel mu(5)-eta(1),eta(1),eta(1),eta(1),eta(2) and mu(5)-eta(1),eta(1),eta(1),eta(2),eta(2) coordination modes of alkyl and aryl ethynide moieties are found in silver(I) complexes 1-5, and the metal-ligand distances can be classified into sigma, pi and mixed (sigma,pi) types. With the consistent square-pyramidal capping Ag(5) baskets of the ethynide moiety as supramolecular synthons, a series of two- and three-dimensional coordination networks are obtained.

Homonuclear transition-metal trimers

Density-functional theory has been used to determine the ground-state geometries and electronic states for homonuclear transition-metal trimers constrained to equilateral triangle geometries. This represents the first application of consistent theoretical methods to all of the ten 3d block transition-metal trimers, from scandium to zinc. A search of the potential surfaces yields the following electronic ground states and bond lengths: Sc3(2A1',2.83 A), Ti3(7E',2.32 A), V3(2E",2.06 A), Cr3(17E',2.92 A), Mn3(16A2',2.73 A), Fe3(11E",2.24 A), Co3(6E",2.18 A), Ni3(3A2",2.23 A), Cu3(2E',2.37 A), and Zn3(1A1',2.93 A). Vibrational frequencies, several low-lying electronic states, and trends in bond lengths and atomization energies are discussed. The predicted dissociation energies DeltaE(M3-->M2+M) are 49.4 kcal mol(-1)(Sc3), 64.3 kcal mol(-1)(Ti3), 60.7 kcal mol(-1)(V3), 11.5 kcal mol(-1)(Cr3), 32.4 kcal mol(-1)(Mn3), 61.5 kcal mol(-1)(Fe3), 78.0 kcal mol(-1)(Co3), 86.1 kcal mol(-1)(Ni3), 26.8 kcal mol(-1)(Cu3), and 4.5 kcal mol(-1)(Zn3).     

Selective synthesis and isolation of all possible conformational isomers of proximally para-disubstituted calix[4]arene

All six possible conformational isomers of the proximally p-dibrominated calix[4]arene tetraalkyl ether, 1a-f*, were selectively synthesized by appropriate control of stereochemistry during di-O-alkylation reactions of 5,11-dibromocalix[4]arene syn-dialkyl ethers, namely, 5,11-dibromo-27,28-dihydroxy-25,26-dipropoxy-, 5,11-dibromo-25,26-dihydroxy-27,28-dipropoxy-, 5,11-dibromo-25,28-dihydroxy-26,27-propoxy-, and 5,11-dibromo-26,28-dihydroxy-25,27-dipropoxycalix[4]arenes. Their conformations were confirmed by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy and are cone for 1a (u(Br)(Pr), u(Br)(Pr), u(H)(Pr),u(H)(Pr)), partial cone for 1b (u(Br)(Pr), d(Br)(Pr), u(H)(Pr),u(H)(Pr)) and 1d (u(Br)(Pr), u(Br)(Pr), u(H)(Pr),d(H)(Pr)), 1,2-alternate for 1c (u(Br)(Pr), u(Br)(Pr), d(H)(Pr),d(H)(Pr)) and 1e (u(Br)(Pr), d(Br)(Pr), d(H)(Pr),u(H)(Pr)), and 1,3-alternate for 1f (u(Br)(Pr), d(Br)(Pr), u(H)(Pr),d(H)(Pr)). Although both 1c and 1e are in the 1,2-alternate conformation, the conformation of 1e was found to be strongly distorted and distinct from that of 1c.

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) studies on disaccharides in the CH region: toward discrimination of the glycosidic linkage position

The structural features of carbohydrates are a combination of 1) sequence and types of mono-sugars, 2) stereochemistry of their glycosidic linkages, and 3) their glycosidic linkage sites. We performed the first systematic VCD study on glycoside linking site discrimination. VCD spectra, in the CH stretching region from 2000 to 4000 cm(-1), of eleven glucobioses (trehalose (alpha1-alpha1), neotrehalose (alpha1-beta1), isotrehalose (beta1-beta1), kojibiose (alpha1-2), nigerose (alpha1-3), maltose (alpha1-4), isomaltose (alpha1-6), sophorose (beta1-2), laminaribiose (beta1-3), cellobiose (beta1-4), gentiobiose (beta1-6)) suggested a possible new discrimination method for glyco analysis, while VCD spectra in the mid-IR region distinguished the stereochemistry (alpha or beta) of the glycosidic linkage. Both reducing and nonreducing glucobioses showed different VCD spectral features compared to their constituent D-glucose and the anomer-fixed model compounds. Interresidue interaction such as hydrogen bonding was suggested to cause these spectral differences. Interplay between residues is a common phenomenon and thus VCD analysis could be applicable to other di-, oligo- or poly-saccharides. Several isotropic labeled compounds were also measured to support spectral assignment and interpretation.

Ethanol adducts of bis(3-R-penta-2,4-dionato) nickel(II) have been prepared by recrystallization of the corresponding nickel bisacetylacetonate species from ethanol, and their crystal structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction: R = methyl, C16H30NiO6, a = 5.177(1), b = 9.326(1), c = 9.649(1), a = 95.39(1), beta = 100.04(1), gamma = 97.16(1), space group Ponebar, Z = 1; R = hex-5-enyl, C26H46NiO6, a = 5.176(1), b = 9.677(1), c = 14.458(1), a = 92.333(3), beta = 93.945(4), gamma = 96.011(6), space group Ponebar, Z = 1; R = phenyl, C26H34NiO6, a = 27.399(1), b = 5.349(1), c = 19.827(2), beta = 117.410(7), space group C2/c, Z = 4. The compounds show remarkable differences in their ability to form hydrogen bonds in the solid phase and in solution, depending upon the nature of the substituent in the 3-position of the acetylacetone fragment. Analysis of the strength of hydrogen bonds within the limits of supermolecular approximation based on the results of calculations by DFT method has been carried out and were found to correlate with experimental observations.

Crystal structures and topochemical polymerizations of 7,7,8,8-tetrakis(alkoxycarbonyl)quinodimethanes

Highly conjugated monomers, 7,7,8,8-tetrakis(alkoxycarbonyl)quinodimethanes (methoxy (1a), ethoxy (1b), isopropoxy (1c), benzyloxy (1d), chloroethoxy (1e), and bromoethoxy (1f)), were synthesized. Recrystallizations of 1a, 1c, 1e, and 1f yielded two crystal forms (prisms (1a-A) and needles (1a-B), needles (1c-A) and plates (1c-B), prisms (1e-A) and plates (1e-B), and prisms (1f-A) and needles (1f-B)), which have different molecular packing modes by X-ray crystal structure analysis, indicating that the crystals are polymorphic. In the photopolymerizations of these monomer crystals in the solid state, 1a-A, 1e-A, and 1f-A polymerized topochemically to give crystalline polymers. For their thermal polymerizations in the solid state, in addition to 1a-A, 1e-A, and 1f-A, 1e-B and 1f-B polymerized, but polymers formed from the 1e-B and 1f-B were amorphous. The packing of quinodimethane molecules in the crystals was defined by four kinds of parameters, stacking distance (d(s)), the distance between the reacting exomethylene carbon atoms (d(cc)), the angles formed between the stacking axis and longer axis of the monomer molecule (theta(1)), and the shorter axis of the monomer molecule (theta(2)), and then the polymerization reactivity of these quinodimethanes in the solid state was discussed on the basis of these parameters.
