Hydrogen bond and halogen bond inside the carbon nanotube

The hydrogen bond and halogen bond inside the open-ended single-walled carbon nanotubes have been investigated theoretically employing the newly developed density functional M06 with the suitable basis set and the natural bond orbital analysis. Comparing with the hydrogen or halogen bond in the gas phase, we find that the strength of the hydrogen or halogen bond inside the carbon nanotube will become weaker if there is a larger intramolecular electron-density transfer from the electron-rich region of the hydrogen or halogen atom donor to the antibonding orbital of the X-H or X-Hal bond involved in the formation of the hydrogen or halogen bond and will become stronger if there is a larger intermolecular electron-density transfer from the electron-rich region of the hydrogen or halogen atom acceptor to the antibonding orbital of the X-H or X-Hal bond. According to the analysis of the molecular electrostatic potential of the carbon nanotube, the driving force for the electron-density transfer is found to be the negative electric field formed in the carbon nanotube inner phase. Our results also show that the X-H bond involved in the formation of the hydrogen bond and the X-Hal bond involved in the formation of the halogen bond are all elongated when encapsulating the hydrogen bond and halogen bond within the carbon nanotube, so the carbon nanotube confinement may change the blue-shifting hydrogen bond and the blue-shifting halogen bond into the red-shifting hydrogen bond and the red-shifting halogen bond. The possibility to replace the all electron nanotube-confined calculation by the simple polarizable continuum model is also evaluated.     

Electronic basis of improper hydrogen bonding: a subtle balance of hyperconjugation and rehybridization

The X[bond]H bond length in X[bond]H...Y hydrogen bonded complexes is controlled by a balance of two main factors acting in opposite directions. "X[bond]H bond lengthening" due to n(Y)-->sigma(H[bond]X) hyperconjugative interaction is balanced by "X[bond]H bond shortening" due to increase in the s-character and polarization of the X[bond]H. When hyperconjugation dominates, X[bond]H bond elongation is reflected in a concomitant red shift of the corresponding IR stretching frequency. When the hyperconjugative interaction is weak and the X-hybrid orbital in the X[bond]H is able to undergo a sufficient change in hybridization and polarization, rehybridization dominates leading to a shortening of the X[bond]H and a blue shift in the X[bond]H stretching frequency.     

Room-temperature phosphorescence and energy transfer in luminescent multinuclear platinum(II) complexes of branched alkynyls

A series of luminescent branched platinum(II) alkynyl complexes, [1,3,5-{RC[triple bond]C(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]C-C6H4C[triple bond]C}3C6H3] (R=C6H5, C6H4OMe, C6H4Me, C6H4CF3, C5H4N, C6H4SAc, 1-napthyl (Np), 1-pyrenyl (Pyr), 1-anthryl-8-ethynyl (HC[triple bond]CAn)), [1,3-{PyrC[triple chemical bond]C(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]CC6H4C[triple bond]C}2-5-{(iPr)3SiC[triple bond]C}C6H3], and [1,3-{PyrC[triple bond]C(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]CC6H4C[triple bond]C}2-5-(HC[triple bond]C)C6H3], was successfully synthesized by using the precursors [1,3,5-{Cl(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]CC6H4C[triple bond]C}3C6H3] or [1,3-{Cl(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]CC6H4C[triple bond]C}2-5-{(iPr)3SiC[triple bond]C}C6H3]. The X-ray crystal structures of [1,3,5-{MeOC6H4C[triple bond]C(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]CC6H4C[triple bond]C}3C6H3] and [1,8-{Cl(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]C}2An] have been determined. These complexes were found to show long-lived emission in both solution and solid-state phases at room temperature. The emission origin of the branched complexes [1,3,5-{RC[triple bond]C(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]CC6H4C[triple bond]C}3C6H3] with R=C6H5, C6H4OMe, C6H4Me, C6H4CF3, C5H4N, and C6H4SAc was tentatively assigned to be derived from triplet states of predominantly intraligand (IL) character with some mixing of metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) (dpi(Pt)-->pi*(C[triple bond]CR)) character, while the emission origin of the branched complexes with polyaromatic alkynyl ligands, [1,3,5-{RC[triple bond]C(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]CC6H4C[triple bond]C}3C6H3] with R=Np, Pyr, or HC[triple bond]CAn, [1,3-{PyrC[triple bond]C(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]CC6H4C[triple bond]C}2-5-{(iPr)3SiC[triple bond]C}C6H3], [1,3-{PyrC[triple bond]C(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]CC6H4C[triple bond]C}2-5-(HC[triple bond]C)C6H3], and [1,8-{Cl(PEt3)2PtC[triple bond]C}2An], was tentatively assigned to be derived from the predominantly 3IL states of the respective polyaromatic alkynyl ligands, mixed with some 3MLCT (d(pi)(Pt)-->pi*(C[triple bond]CR)) character. By incorporating different alkynyl ligands into the periphery of these branched complexes, one could readily tune the nature of the lowest energy emissive state and the direction of the excitation energy transfer.     

Use of a novel relationship between bond length and bond order to calculate accurate bond orders for carbon–carbon bonds

An exact relationship between bond length and bond order has been derived for the first time based on the concept of electron density. This relationship allows the calculation of sufficiently accurate bond orders and also determines the number of bond-forming electrons. According to this novel relationship between bond order and bond length, the bond order of the carbon–carbon bond in ethylene is 1.75, whereas it is 2.50 in acetylene. These bond orders are readily interpreted by the fragmentation of π-bonds and a consequent decrease in bond order, which is further supported by the chemical properties of these molecules. Assuming structure-specific fragmentation of π-bonds (i.e. one structural motif always adheres to one or two types of bond fragmentation scheme), the bond orders can be predicted for molecules containing multiple carbon–carbon bonds in excellent agreement with the experimental findings.     

The charge shift in the excited virtual state of pyrimidine during the nonresonant Raman process at 632.8 nm: the bond polarizability study

The bond polarizabilities of pyrimidine are elucidated from the Raman intensities excited at 632.8 nm by an algorithm proposed by Wu et al. [B. Tian, G. Wu, G. Liu, J. Chem. Phys. 87 (1987) 7300]. The contrast between the bond polarizabilities and the bond electronic densities by RHF/6-31G* calculation shows that, in the excited virtual state, the electrons of the C-N bond which is connected to the C-C bond tend to spread to the most spacious C-H bond, its adjacent C-N bond and possibly, the C-C bond in this nonresonant process.

Exploring the actinide-actinide bond: theoretical studies of the chemical bond in Ac2, Th2, Pa2, and U2

Multiconfigurational quantum chemical methods (CASSCF/CASPT2) have been used to study the chemical bond in the actinide diatoms Ac2, Th2, Pa2, and U2. Scalar relativistic effects and spin-orbit coupling have been included in the calculations. In the Ac2 and Th2 diatoms the atomic 6d, 7s, and 7p orbitals are the significant contributors to the bond, while for the two heavier diatoms, the 5f orbitals become increasingly important. Ac2 is characterized by a double bond with a 3Sigmag-(0g+) ground state, a bond distance of 3.64. A, and a bond energy of 1.19 eV. Th2 has quadruple bond character with a 3Dg(1g) ground state. The bond distance is 2.76 A and the bond energy (D0) 3.28 eV. Pa2 is characterized by a quintuple bond with a 3Sigmag-(0g+) ground state. The bond distance is 2.37 A and the bond energy 4.00 eV. The uranium diatom has also a quintuple bond with a 7Og (8g) ground state, a bond distance of 2.43 A, and a bond energy of 1.15 eV. It is concluded that the strongest bound actinide diatom is Pa2, characterized by a well-developed quintuple bond.     

Quantitative relationships between bond lengths,stretching vibrational frequencies,bond force constants,and bond orders in the hydrogen-bonded complexes involving hydrogen halides

To uncover the correlation between the bond length change and the corresponding stretching frequency shift of the proton donor D–H upon hydrogen bond formation, a series of hydrogen-bonded complexes involving HF and HCl which exhibit the characteristics of red-shifted hydrogen bond were investigated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ, M062X/aug-cc-pVTZ, and B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ(GD3) levels of theory with CP optimizations. A statistical analysis of these complexes leads to the quantitative illustrations of the relations between bond length and stretching vibrational frequency, between bond length and bond force constant, between stretching vibrational frequency and bond force constant, between bond length and bond order for hydrohalides in a mathematical way, which would provide valuable insights into the explanation of the geometrical and spectroscopic behaviors during hydrogen bond formation.

Identification of hydrogen bonds using quantum electrodynamics

A method for the identification of hydrogen bonds was investigated from the viewpoint of the stress tensor density proposed by Tachibana and following other works in this field. Hydrogen bonds are known to exhibit common features with ionic and covalent bonds. In quantum electrodynamics, the covalent bond has been demonstrated to display a spindle structure of the stress tensor density. Importantly, this spindle structure is also seen in the hydrogen bond, although the covalency is considerably weaker than in a typical covalent bond. Distinguishing it from the ionic bond is most imperative for the identification of the hydrogen bond. In the present study, the directionality of the hydrogen bond is investigated as the ionic bond is nearly isotropic, while the hydrogen bond exhibits the directionality. It was demonstrated that the hydrogen bond can be distinguished from the ionic bond using the angle dependence of the largest eigenvalue of the stress tensor density.
