A theoretical investigation of the corrosion inhibition effectiveness of 1-[4-acetyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl) quinoxalin-1(4H)-yl] acetone (Q1), 2-(4-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2-p-tolylquinoxalin-1(4H)-yl) acetate (Q2) and 2-(4-methylphenyl)-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline (Q3) was evaluated by using quantum chemical parameters from density functional theory (DFT) with 6–311++ G (d, p) basis set at B3LYP level. Several quantum chemical parameters were determined to evaluate the array of selected molecules such as (E_LUMO), energy gap (ΔE), (E_HOMO), hardness, ionization potential, electronegativity, dipole moment (μ), the fraction of the electrons transferred from the inhibitor to the metal surface (ΔN), the softness (σ) and the total energy (TE). Theoretical data were found to confirm experimental results. By using these different quantitative chemical parameters to determine corrosion inhibition efficiency, we compare the results of the recent corrosion investigation of these inhibitors.     

A simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of a novel class aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives via intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction

In this study, we synthesized a new series of substituted aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24) in yields ranging from 42 to 70% with an interesting mechanism that involves internal nucleophilic substitution followed by an S_N2-type nucleophilic substitution. First, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanone (3) was synthesized from the reaction of 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (1) with 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone (2) in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Then, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanol (4) was synthesized by a reduction reaction of this compound using NaBH₄. Finally, 5-methyl-3-alkyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24), which are the target compounds, were synthesized from the reaction of this compound (4), which is a secondary alcohol with various alkyl halides (5a-n) in the presence of sodium hydride (NaH). This study presents an interesting reaction mechanism related to the synthesis of aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives that is not recorded in the literature.     

On the chemical bonding features in palladium containing compounds: A combined QTAIM/DFT topological analysis

Topological analyses of the electron density on N-benzoyl-L-pheylalanine and its palladium(II) complexes are carried out using the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) at the M06/6-31G(d) theoretical level. The topological parameters derived from the Bader theory are also analyzed; these are characteristics of Pd bond critical points and ring critical points. The calculated structural parameters are the highest occupied molecular orbital energy (E _HOMO), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (E _LUMO), the hardness (η), the softness (S), the absolute electronegativity (χ), the electrophilicity index (ω), and the fractions of electrons transferred (ΔN) from ethylenediamine, 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline complexes to N-benzoyl-L-pheylalanine. The numerous correlations and dependences between the energy terms of the symmetry adapted perturbation theory approach, geometrical, topological, and energy parameters are detected and described.     

Theoretical studies of some sulphonamides as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in acidic medium

Density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6‐31G (d,p) and BP86/CEP‐31G* basis set levels and ab initio calculations using the RHF/6‐31G (d,p) methods were performed on four sulfonamides (namely sulfaacetamide (SAM), sulfapyridine (SPY), sulfamerazine (SMR), and sulfathiazole (STI)) used as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in acidic medium to determine the relationship between molecular structure and their inhibition efficiencies (%IE). The order of inhibition efficiency obtained was SMR > SPY > STI > SAM which corresponded with the order of most of the calculated quantum chemical parameters namely E_HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital energy), E_LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy), the energy gap (ΔE), the Mulliken charges on the C, O, N, S atoms, hardness (η), softness (S), polarizability (α), dipole moment (μ), total energy change (ΔE_T), electrophilicity (ω), electron affinity (A), ionization potential (I), the absolute electronegativity (χ), and the fraction of electrons transferred (ΔN). Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) approach has been used and a correlation of the composite index of some of the quantum chemical parameters was performed to characterize the inhibition performance of the sulfonamides studied. The results showed that the %IE of the sulfonamides was closely related to some of the quantum chemical parameters but with varying degrees/order. The calculated %IE of the sulfonamides studied was found to be close to their experimental corrosion inhibition efficiencies. The experimental data obtained fits the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The negative sign of the E_HOMO values and other thermodynamic parameters obtained indicates that the data obtained supports physical adsorption mechanism. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of heterocycles. Part II. New routes to acetylthiadiazolines and alkylazothiazoles

Methylglyoxalyl chloride arylhydrazones (III) react with an ethanolic solution of thiourea to give 2-amino-4-methyl-5-arylazothiazoles (XII) instead of the expected 2-acetyl-4-aryl-5-imino-Δ²-1,3,4-thiadiazolines (V) which were obtained from III and potassium thiocyanate. 3-Thiocyanato-2,4-pentanedione (IV) coupled with diazotized anilines to give V. The postulated routes to formation of V and XII from III are given. Nitrosation of V gave the corresponding N-nitroso derivatives (VI) which decomposed upon refluxing in dry xylene to give 2,4-disubstituted-Δ²-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-5-ones (VII). Boiling of either V or VI with hydrochloric acid gave the hydrochloride salt (VIII).

Synthesis,crystallographic and spectroscopic characterization and magnetic properties of dimer and monomer ternary copper(II) complexes with sulfonamide derivatives and 1,10-phenanthroline. Nuclease activity by the oxidative mechanism

Three dinuclear and one mononuclear copper(II)-1,10-phenanthroline ternary complexes, [Cu(L1)(phen)(OH)]₂ (1), [Cu(L2)(phen)(OH)]₂·3H₂O (2), [Cu(L3)(phen)(OH)]₂ (3) and [Cu(L4)₂(phen)(H₂O)] (4), with thiadiazole sulfonamide derivative ligands: HL1 (N-(5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)naphthalene-1-sulfonamide), HL2 (N-(5-ethylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide), HL3 (N-(5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide) and HL4 (N-(5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide) have been synthesized and characterized. In the four complexes each copper atom is five-coordinated. The structure of complexes 1, 2 and 3 consists of a dimeric unit with a C2 symmetry axis, where both coppers are bridged by two hydroxo anions. Magnetic measurements show that the dimer complexes are ferromagnetic according to the Cu–O–Cu angles. Cleavage experiments using pUC18 plasmid DNA in the presence of H₂O₂/ascorbic acid as an activating agent show that the title complexes are potent artificial chemical nucleases, the order of efficiency being 3 > 2 ∼ 1 > 4. Control cleavage experiments indicated that the dimer complexes are stronger artificial nucleases than the [Cu(phen)₂]²⁺ complex under the same experimental conditions, while the monomer 4 has a lower nuclease activity than the [Cu(phen)₂]²⁺ complex. The inhibition of the cleavage process in the presence of reactive oxygen intermediate scavengers suggests that the hydroxyl radical and the superoxide anion are reactive species for the breakage of the DNA strands.

New nitro and sulfonamide derivatives of [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-a]quinazolin-5-one have been synthesized by cyclocondensation of 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amines with 2-halobenzoyl chlorides containing electron-withdrawing substituents in positions 3, 4, and 5.

2-Azido-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, 2-Azido-1,3-thiazoles,and Aryl Azides in the Synthesis of 1,2,3-Triazole-4-carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives

Diazotization of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles gave 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-diazonium sulfates which were converted to 2-azido-1,3,4-thiadiazoles. The latter reacted with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of sodium methoxide in methanol to produce 1-(5-R¹-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-5-R²-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives. The reactions of 2-azido-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole and 2-azido-1,3-thiazole with ethyl 3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-oxopropanoate led to the formation of 1,2,3-triazole ring under milder conditions (K₂CO₃, DMSO). Various 1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized.

Theoretical investigations on nonlinear optical and spectroscopic properties of 6-(3,3,4,4,4-pentafluoro-2-hydroxy-1-butenyl)-2,4-pyrimidinedione: An efficient NLO material

In this study, quantum chemical calculations of geometric parameters, conformational, natural bond orbital (NBO) and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, vibrational frequencies, ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of the title molecule [C₉H₇F₅N₂O₃] in the ground state have been calculated with the help of Density Functional Theory (DFT-B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)) and Hartree-Fock (HF/6-311++G(d,p)) methods. The optimized geometric parameters, vibrational frequencies, ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts values are compared with experimental values of the investigated molecules. Comparison between experimental and theoretical results showed that B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method is able to provide more satisfactory results. In order to understand this phenomenon in the context of molecular orbital picture, we examined the molecular frontier orbital energies (HOMO, HOMO-1, LUMO, and LUMO + 1), the energy difference (ΔE) between E _HOMO and E _LUMO, electronegativity (χ), hardness (η), softness (S) calculated by HF/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) levels. The molecular surfaces, Mulliken, NBO, and Atomic polar tensor (APT) charges of the investigated molecule have also been calculated by using the same methods.     

Synthesis and characterization of some new aromatic diamine monomers from oxidative coupling of anilines and substituted aniline with 4-amino-N,N-dimethyl aniline

New aromatic diamine monomers prepared from condensation reactions of aniline, p-chloroaniline, p-nitro aniline, p-chloro-m-nitro aniline with 4-amino-N,N-dimethylaniline (2:1) (aniline:reagent) in the presence of potassium dichromate in acidic media yielded new monomers of a highly colored violet and reddish-violet.

Theoretical investigation of inhibition of the corrosion of A106 steel in NaCl solution by di-n-butyl bis(thiophene-2-carboxylato-O,O′)tin(IV)

This work reports results from potentiodynamic polarisation and impedance investigation, with a rotating disc electrode, of inhibition of corrosion of A106 steel in aerated, unstirred 3.0 % NaCl solutions using di-n-butyl bis(thiophene-2-carboxylato-O,O′)tin(IV) as inhibitor. These studies showed that it is a mixed-type inhibitor. Inhibition efficiency increased with increasing di-n-butyl bis(thiophene-2-carboxylato-O,O′)tin(IV) concentration and decreases with increasing solution temperature. Maximum efficiency of inhibition of the inhibitor of approximately 78 % is observed at a concentration at 10^?2 M. The inhibition process was attributed to formation of an adsorbed film on the metal surface that protects the metal against corrosive agents. The adsorption isotherm confirms the applicability of Langmuir equation to describe the adsorption process. Thermodynamic functions for the adsorption process were determined. The efficiency of corrosion inhibitors and global chemical reactivity depend on such properties as energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (E _HOMO), energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E _LUMO), energy gap (ΔE), which were calculated. All calculation was been performed by density functional theory (DFT) using the Gaussian03W suite of software. Calculated results were usually in agreement with the experimental data.
