Effect of flexibility on surface tension and coexisting densities of water

Molecular dynamics simulations of pure water at the liquid-vapor interface are performed using direct simulation of interfaces in a liquid slab geometry. The effect of intramolecular flexibility on coexisting densities and surface tension is analyzed. The dipole moment profile across the liquid-vapor interface shows different values for the liquid and vapor phases. The flexible model is a polarizable model. This effect is minor for liquid densities and is large for surface tension. The liquid densities increase from 2% at 300 K to 9% at 550 K when the force field is changed from a fully rigid simple point charge extended (SPCE) model to that of a fully flexible model with the same intermolecular interaction parameters. The increases in surface tension at both temperatures are around 11% and 36%, respectively. The calculated properties of the flexible models are closer to the experimental data than those of the rigid SPCE. The effect of the maximum number of reciprocal vectors (h(z) (max)) and the surface area on the calculated properties at 300 K is also analyzed. The coexiting densities are not sensitive to those variables. The surface tension fluctuates with h(z) (max) with an amplitude larger than 10 mN m(-1). The effect of using small interfacial areas is slightly larger than the error in the simulations.

Unexpected crystallization and X-ray crystal structure of racemic 1-phenyl-2-(4-pyridyl)ethanol intermediate

We have isolated, by crystallization, the intermediate, 1-phenyl-2-(4-pyridyl)ethanol, from the condensation reaction of 4-methylpyridine with benzaldehyde in which the aim was to obtain the model compound 4-styrylpyridine in absence of a condensing agent. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows the formation of an intermolecular hydrogen bond O–H···N between the nitrogen atom of a pyridine group and the oxygen atom of the OH of the neighboring molecule, which helps to stabilize the crystal structure. Crystal structure determination clearly revealed that the solid is chiral and racemic, as expected. The title compound crystallizes in an orthorhombic system with a space group Pna2₁ with two pairs of R and S enantiomers in each crystal cell (a = 15.591(1) Å, b = 12.691(1) Å, and c = 5.589(1) Å). Spectroscopic NMR data gave evidence that the isolated compound is actually the alcohol just before the dehydration process that yields the double bond of the 4-styrylpyridine.     

Unexpected intermediate 1-phenyl-2-(4-pyridyl)ethanol isolated from benz-aldehyde and 4-picoline condensation reaction

The unexpected intermediate 1-phenyl-2-(4-pyridyl)ethanol or 4-[2-(1-hydroxy-1-phenyl)ethyl]pyridine was isolated from the condensation reaction of 4-methylpyridine with benzaldehyde to form the model compound 4-styrylpyridine in the absence of a condensing agent. Spectroscopic data (NMR, IR and UV-VIS) gave evidence that the isolated compound is actually the alcohol just before the dehydration which yields the double bond of the 4-styrylpyridine and the structure was confirmed by single-crystal x-ray analysis. The isolation method from the reaction mixture was difficult at first, but now a 10% yield has been obtained, not only in powder form but as crystals good enough for R-X structural analysis.

Mechanism and Kinetics of the Induction Period in Nitroxide Mediated Thermal Autopolymerizations. Application to the Spontaneous Copolymerization of Styrene and Maleic Anhydride

Recently we reported an experimental and theoretical (simulation) investigation on the mechanism of the induction period and the initial polymerization stages in the nitroxide mediated autopolymerization of styrene. In this paper we extend some of the results presented there and perform preliminary induction period experiments for the study of the mechanism and kinetics of the spontaneous copolymerization of styrene (S) and maleic anhydride (MA) in the presence of TEMPO and 4-OH-TEMPO. With even small amounts of MA (2% wt) the induction period is dramatically reduced by a factor of about 20 in comparison with the nitroxide-mediated styrene autopolymerization at 120 °C. Our results suggest that the initiation mechanism involves a first step of reaction between S and MA. We speculate that this reaction is a Diels-Alder cycloaddition followed by hydrogen abstraction through a monomer or TEMPO assisted homolysis to form a radical pair (monomer case) or a single radical (TEMPO case), which either initiates polymerization or is trapped by TEMPO depending on the conditions. Hall and Padias have studied similar electron donor-acceptor co-monomer pairs and favor the formation of a tetramethylene diradical as the initiating species for spontaneous copolymerization. In any case, the rate-limiting step would be the initial reaction of S and MA. These induction experiments allow us to obtain an initial estimate of the order of magnitude for the kinetic constant of the rate-limiting step, as 10⁻⁶ Lmol⁻¹s⁻¹.
