The relative importance of delocalization terms in proton spin-spin coupling constants

An expression for the atom-atom poiarizability between the1s orbitals of geminal or vicinal protons has been derived by perturbation theory using thePople-Santry Theory of electron systems. The coupling constants calculated on this basis agree well with these obtained from full molecular orbital calculations. Expressions have been obtained for the variation of vicinal coupling constants with dihedral angle in ethane and the HCC bond angle and C-C bond length in ethylene, and these agree well with corresponding expressions obtained using the VB method.

The calculation of indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants in large molecules

We present calculations of indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants in large molecular systems, performed using density functional theory. Such calculations, which have become possible because of the use of linear-scaling techniques in the evaluation of the Coulomb and exchange-correlation contributions to the electronic energy, allow us to study indirect spin-spin couplings in molecules of biological interest, without having to construct artificial model systems. In addition to presenting a statistical analysis of the large number of short-range coupling constants in large molecular systems, we analyse the asymptotic dependence of the indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants on the internuclear separation. In particular, we demonstrate that, in a sufficiently large one-electron basis set, the indirect spin-spin coupling constants become proportional to the inverse cube of the internuclear separation, even though the diamagnetic and paramagnetic spin-orbit contributions to the spin-spin coupling constants separately decay as the inverse square of this separation. By contrast, the triplet Fermi contact and spin-dipole contributions to the indirect spin-spin coupling constants decay exponentially and as the inverse cube of the internuclear separation, respectively. Thus, whereas short-range indirect spin-spin coupling constants are usually dominated by the Fermi contact contribution, long-range coupling constants are always dominated by the negative diamagnetic spin-orbit contribution and by the positive paramagnetic spin-orbit contribution, with small spin-dipole and negligible Fermi contact contributions.     

Partition and binding constants in micelles and vesicles from fluorescence quenching data

A method of analysing steady-state fluorescence quenching in compartmentalized systems is proposed which allows the evaluation of partition and binding constants where both association processes occur simultaneosly. The number of binding sites is shown to be dependent on the nature of the quencher.     

Including anharmonicity in the calculation of rate constants. 1. The HCN/HNC isomerization reaction

A method for calculating anharmonic vibrational energy levels in asymmetric top and linear systems that is based on second-order perturbation theory in curvilinear coordinates is extended to the bound generalized normal modes at nonstationary points along a reaction path. Explicit formulas for the anharmonicity coefficients, x(ij), and the constant term, E0, are presented, and the necessary modifications for resonance cases are considered. The method is combined with variational transition state theory with semiclassical multidimensional tunneling approximations to calculate thermal rate constants for the HCN/HNC isomerization reaction. Although the results for this system are not very sensitive to the choice of coordinates, we find that the inclusion of anharmonicity leads to a substantial improvement in the vibrational energy levels. We also present detailed comparisons of rate constants computed with and without anharmonicity, with various approximations for incorporating tunneling along the reaction path, and with a more practical approach to calculating the vibrational partition functions needed for larger systems.     

Characterization of ester hydrolysis in terms of microscopic rate constants

Hydroxide-catalyzed ester hydrolysis for molecules of coexisting species is quantitated in terms of microscopic rate constants, a new, species-specific physicochemical parameter. Relationships between the overall and component reactions, as well as the macroscopic and microscopic rate constants are deduced. Experimental techniques, evaluation methods, and feasibility are discussed. Species-specific, pH-independent rate constants of four coexisting, differently hydrolyzing microspecies are determined for the first time. Protonation of an alpha-amino and beta-imidazolyl site in amino acid esters has been found to accelerate the hydroxide-catalyzed hydrolysis by factors of 120 and 7.5, respectively, whereas they jointly exert a nearly 3000-fold acceleration. A total of 20 microscopic protonation equilibrium constants, as component parameters in the rate equations, have also been determined. The species-specific rate constants have been found to correlate with the site- and species-specific basicity of the leaving group and the NMR chemical shift of an adjacent proton. Individual contributions of the various microforms to the overall hydrolysis rate are depicted in microscopic reaction fraction diagrams.

Contact angle interpretation in terms of solid surface tension

Recent experimental (low-rate) dynamic contact angles for 14 solid surfaces are interpreted in terms of their solid surface tensions. Universality of these experimental contact angle patterns is illustrated; other reasons that can cause data to deviate from the patterns are discussed. It is found that surface tension component approaches do not reflect physical reality. Assuming solid surface tension is constant for one and the same solid surface, experimental contact angle patterns are employed to deduce a functional relationship to be used in conjunction with the Young equation to determine solid surface tensions. The explicit form of such a relation is obtained by modifying Berthelot’s rule together with experimental data; essentially constant solid surface tension values are obtained, independent of liquid surface tension and molecular structure. A new combining rule is also derived based on an expression similar to one used in molecular theory; such a combining rule should allow a better understanding of the molecular interactions between unlike solid–liquid pairs.

Metal-enhanced phosphorescence: interpretation in terms of triplet-coupled radiating plasmons

We report our detailed metal-enhanced phosphorescence (MEP) findings using Rose Bengal at low temperature. Silver Island Films (SiFs) in close proximity to Rose Bengal significantly enhance the phosphorescence emission intensity. In this regard, a 5-fold brighter phosphorescence intensity of Rose Bengal was observed from SiFs as compared to a glass control sample at 77 K. In addition, several factors affecting MEP, such as distance dependence and silver film morphology, were also investigated. Our findings suggest that both singlet and triplet states can couple to surface plasmons and enhance both fluorescence and phosphorescence yields. This finding suggests that MEP can be used to promote triplet-based assays, such as those used in photodynamic therapy.     

Calculation of acidic dissociation constants in water: solvation free energy terms. Their accuracy and impact

Three polarizable continuum models, DPCM, CPCM, and IEFPCM, have been applied to calculate free energy differences for nine neutral compounds and their anions. On the basis of solvation free energies, the pK_a values were obtained for the compounds in question by using three thermodynamic cycles: one, involving the combined experimental and calculated data, as well as two other cycles solely with calculated data. This paper deals with the influence of factors such as the SCRF model applied, choice of a particular thermodynamic cycle, atomic radii used to build a cavity in the solvent (water), optimization of geometry in water, inclusion of electron correlation, and the dimension of the basis set on the solvation free energies and on the calculated pK_a values.

Quantum chemical calculation of force constants and vibrational spectra

As a result of the development of direct derivative methods and improved computational facilities, ab initio quantum chemical calculations have become an increasingly important source of information for the determination of molecular force constants. Within the Hartree-Fock (H-F) SCF model and using moderate size basis sets such calculations are now economically feasible for molecules of up to 2o–3o atoms. At this level of theory, harmonic diagonal force constants are overestimated by 1o–3o%, corresponding to 5–15% in the frequencies. However, the largely systematic errors can be accounted for by simple empirical corrections. The resulting SQM (Scaled Quantum Mechanical) force fields are probably the most reliable ones available at present for larger molecules. Calculated infrared intensities are semi-quantitatively correct. Beyond the H-F model, large scale calculations including electron correlation give great improvements in the force constants, but there are still residual errors of a few percent.
