Thermal conductivities of molecular liquids by reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics

The reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method for thermal conductivities is adapted to the investigation of molecular fluids. The method generates a heat flux through the system by suitably exchanging velocities of particles located in different regions. From the resulting temperature gradient, the thermal conductivity is then calculated. Different variants of the algorithm and their combinations with other system parameters are tested: exchange of atomic velocities versus exchange of molecular center-of-mass velocities, different exchange frequencies, molecular models with bond constraints versus models with flexible bonds, united-atom versus all-atom models, and presence versus absence of a thermostat. To help establish the range of applicability, the algorithm is tested on different models of benzene, cyclohexane, water, and n-hexane. We find that the algorithm is robust and that the calculated thermal conductivities are insensitive to variations in its control parameters. The force field, in contrast, has a major influence on the value of the thermal conductivity. While calculated and experimental thermal conductivities fall into the same order of magnitude, in most cases the calculated values are systematically larger. United-atom force fields seem to do better than all-atom force fields, possibly because they remove high-frequency degrees of freedom from the simulation, which, in nature, are quantum-mechanical oscillators in their ground state and do not contribute to heat conduction.     

Ylidaddukte der Penteltrichloride

Ylide Adducts of Pentele Trichlorides Ylides Ph₃PCR₂ form 1 : 1 adducts with PCl₃, AsCl₃ und SbCl₃. The addition of HCl to dichlorophosphanyl- und dichloroarsanyl ylides also leads to such adducts. In solution the PCl₃ adducts 2 are dissociated into ions. For the AsCl₃ adducts 3 b and 3 e of triphenylphosphonium ethylide and isopropylide X-ray analyses show distinctly different degrees of transition from a zwitterionic ψ-tbp to a cationic ψ-tetrahedral structure. The SbCl₃ adduct 4 b of the triphenylphosphonium ethylide on the other hand forms a rather asymmetric dimer and approaches a square-pyramidal geometry at the antimony atom. The 2 : 1 ylide adducts 11 with PCl₃ form in solution the dications (Ph₃PCR₂)₂PCl²⁺. The 2 : 3 adduct 15 of triphenylphosphonium methylide to AsCl₃ also has an ionic structure in the crystal. There are cations (Ph₃PCH₂)₂AsCl²⁺, which pairwise join with two AsCl₃ molecules to form doubly charged supracations in the presence of As₂Cl₈^2– as counterions.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Cesium Hexamminesodium Decahydro‐closo‐decaborate‐Ammonia(1/1), Cs[Na(NH3)6][B10H10]·NH3

Cs[Na(NH₃)₆][B₁₀H₁₀]·NH₃ was synthesised from cesium and disodium‐decahydro‐closo‐decaborate Na₂B₁₀H₁₀ in liquid ammonia, from which it crystallized in form of temperature sensitive colorless plates (triclinic, P1¯, a = 8.4787(7) Å, b = 13.272(1) Å, c = 17.139(2) Å, α = 88.564(1)°, β = 89.773(1)°, γ = 81.630(1)°, V = 1907.5(3) ų, Z = 4). The compound is the first example of an alkali metal boranate with two different types of cations. The decahydro‐closo‐decaborate dianions [B₁₀H₁₀]^2— and the cesium cations form a equation/tex2gif-stack-1.gif[Cs₂(B₁₀H₁₀)₂]^2— layer parallel to the ac plane. These layers are separated by N—H···N‐hydrogen bonded hexamminesodium cations.
