The convergence properties of direct methods of energy minimization with respect to linear coefficients in the LCAO-MO-SCF approach

It is shown that in the LCAO-MO-SCF problem, if the molecular orbital orthonormality constraints are introduced in the manner first suggested by Fletcher, then the Hessian of the problem is singular. It is suggested that this singularity may well account for the slow convergence observed using direct energy minimization methods to solve the SCF problem. Ways of avoiding the consequences of this singularity are discussed.     

The roles of hetero atoms in solvolytic reactions—II: Transannular participation by neighbouring sulphur atom

Esters of sulphur-containing 5- and 6-membered heterocycles, tetrahydro-3- and 4-thiopyranol and their 3- and 4-methyl, phenyl derivatives, and tetrahydro-2-thiophenemethanol, were synthesized. The solvolysis of β-thioesters in 80% aqueous acetone resulted in strong transannular S-participation and the products of solvolysis substantiated formation of bicyclic episulphonium ion intermediates. Such participation is considered to be present even in a tertiary system. On the other hand, γ-thioesters were solvolysed without any transannular S-participation,     

Acrylonitr1le anion-radical detection by infrared internal reflection spectra

The application of internal reflection spectroscopy to the study of interface boundary layers has been extended over cases in which unstable particles appear at the interface as a result of imposing a negative electrical potential on the germanium hemicylinder, used simultaneously as an optical prism in the internal reflection spectroscopic device and as an electrode. The appearance of the particles is detected by their internal reflection spectrum. The method has been applied in the case of the electrochemically induced polymerization of acrylonitrile. Two particles were found to be generated during electrolysis. They are assigned to the anionradical and to the di-anion of acrylonitrile.     

Effectiveness of initiation in the reaction of cumene hydeopeeoxide with paramethoxyphenol

Conclusions It was shown by a study of the kinetics of the oxidation of cumene in the presence of the hyeroperoxide and p-methoxyphenol that in the reaction of the hydroperoxide with p-methoxyphenol, radicals are formed with an efficiency equal to 0.54 (120°).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2191–2194, October, 1972.
