Comparative analysis of blue‐shifted hydrogen bond versus conventional hydrogen bond in methyl radical complexes

Methyl radical complexes H₃C…HCN and H₃C…HNC have been investigated at the UMP2(full)/aug‐cc‐pVTZ level to elucidate the nature of hydrogen bonds. To better understand the intermolecular H‐bond interactions, topological analysis of electron density at bond critical points (BCP) is executed using Bader's atoms‐in‐molecules (AIM) theory. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis has also been performed to study the orbital interactions and change of hybridization. Theoretical calculations show that there is no essential difference between the blue‐shift H‐bond and the conventional one. In H₃C…HNC complex, rehybridization is responsible for shortening of the N? H bond. The hyperconjugative interaction between the single electron of the methyl radical and N? H antibonding orbital is up to 7.0 kcal/mol, exceeding 3.0 kcal/mol, the upper limit of hyperconjugative n(Y)→σ*(X–H) interaction to form the blue‐shifted H‐bond according to Alabugin's theory. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Molecular orbital theoretical prediction of the isomeric products formed from reactions of arene oxides and related metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

MO theoretical calculations based on the perturbational method of Dewar provide good correlation between predicted and observed structures of products formed during: (1) isomerization of arene oxides to phenols; (2) hydration and nucleophilic addition to arene oxides; and (3) dehydration of arene dihydrodiols. The method is equally applicable to the arene oxides, dihydrodiols, etc. derived from carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic polycyclic hydrocarbons. Extension to the related enzymatic reactions occurring during metabolism of carcinogenic hydrocarbons and to the reactions of the biologically active arene diolepoxides and aryloxirenes suggests the potential utility of this approach in predicting (a) metabolite structure and (b) the structural requirements for carcinogenic and mutagenic activity.     

Preparative SEC column packed with microporous particles prepared from cellulose

New microporous particles with large pore size (mean pore diameter of 820 nm) are successfully prepared from a mixture of cellulose and konjac glucomannan (RC-KGM3) in 1.5 M NaOH-0.65 M thiourea aqueous solution by coagulating with 5 weight percentage (wt%) CaCl(2), and then 2 wt% HCl aqueous solution. A preparative size-exclusion chromatographic (SEC) column packed with the gel particles is used for the fractionation of a dextran in water. The exclusion limit and fractionation range of the stationary phase are molecular masses of 125 yen 104 g/mol and 5.6 yen 104 to 125 yen 104 g/mol, respectively. The dextran [dextran 50, weight-average molecular mass (M(w)) = 40.1 yen 104 g/mol, polydispersity index (d) = 3.5] is fractionated by the preparative SEC column to obtain six fractions, and four of them are refractionated twice by the same preparative SEC column. The refractionated samples F-3-3 and F-4-3 are characterized by analytical SEC combined with laser light scattering and light scattering to obtain M(w) of 91.8 and 61.9 yen 104 g/mol, as well as d of 1.3 and 1.4, respectively. The results indicate that the fractions having narrow molecular mass distribution are satisfactorily prepared with the SEC column. The described SEC column can be successfully used to fractionate polymers in aqueous solution.     

Continuous medium theory for nonequilibrium solvation: I. How to correctly evaluate solvation free energy of nonequilibrium

Considering the influences of electrostatic potential Phi upon the change of solute charge distribution deltarho and rho upon the change deltaPhi at the same time, a more reasonable integral formula of dG = (1/2) integral (V) (rhodeltaPhi + Phideltarho)dV is used to calculate the change of the electrostatic free energy in charging the solute-solvent system to a nonequilibrium state, instead of the one of dG = integral (V) PhideltarhodV used before. This modification improves the expressions of electrostatic free energy and solvation free energy, in which no quantity of the intermediate equilibrium state is explicitly involved. Detailed investigation reveals that the solvation free energy of nonequilibrium only contains the interaction energy between the field due to the solute charge in vacuum, and the dielectric polarization at the nonequilibrium state. The solvent reorganization energies of forward and backward electron transfer reactions have been redefined because the derivations lead to a remarkable feature that these quantities are direction-dependent, unlike the theoretical models developed before. The deductions are given in the electric field-displacement form. Relevant discussions on the reliability of theoretical models suggested in this work have also been presented.     

Neutron activation analysis of gold and iridium in steel

Functional polymers,XL. Syntheses of mono- and di(4-methoxy)benzotriazolesubstituted 2,4-dihydroxyaceto(or benzo)phenones

Eight benzotriazoles and (4-methoxy)benzotriazoles, mono- or di-substituted derivatives of 2,4-dihydroxyaceto(or benzo)phenone were synthesized by azo coupling of (4-methoxy)2-nitrobenzenediazonium chloride with 2,4-dihydroxyaceto(or benzo)phenone followed by reductive cyclization. Pure mono-substituted compounds were very difficult to prepare. Careful selection of thepH for the azo coupling and selection of the proper reagents for the reductive cyclization were essential. All compounds were characterized by their ultraviolet, infrared¹H and¹³C NMR spectra and their elemental analysis. These compounds have both the 2(2-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole unit and a 2-hydroxyaceto(or benzo)phenone unit in the same molecule and are effective and useful ultraviolet absorbers.Dedicated to Prof. Dr.K. Komarek, Vienna, on the occasion of his 60^th birthday with best wishes.     

Investigation of the hydrogen bonds between formaldehyde and hydrogen halides by pseudopotential Ab Initio method

The weak hydrogen bonded systems H₂CO ?HX (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) have been studied by means of ab initio MO method with pseudopotential approximation. The stabilization energies of these hydrogen bonds are 8.96, 4.12, 3.00, and 2.21 kcal/mol, respectively. The interaction eneraction energies are farther decomposed according to Morokuma's energy decomposing scheme. It is found that the title complexes are mainly electrostatic, although the contribution of charge transfer is also significant.     

Copper-catalyzed arylation of amines using diphenyl pyrrolidine-2-phosphonate as the new ligand

[Chemical reaction: See text] We have developed a general, efficient, and inexpensive catalyst system for arylation of amines by using 10 mol % of CuI as the copper source, 20 mol % of diphenyl pyrrolidine-2-phosphonate (DPP) as the ligand, K3PO4 as the base, and DMF containing 2% water (v/v) as the solvent.     

Syntheses, characterization and electrical property of a new silver diphosphonate with zeolite-like framework and three-dimensional silver interactions: [Ag4(O3PCH2CH2PO3)]

A new silver organodiphosphonate, [Ag₄(O₃PCH₂CH₂PO₃)] (1), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR, TGA-DSC, electricity measurement and element analysis. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n (a=6.0115(16) Å, b=8.630(2) Å, c=8.462(2) Å, β=97.693(4)°, Z=2, R₁=0.0604, wR₂=0.1450). 1 contains one-dimensional channels and a three-dimensional Ag?Ag interacted substructural net. TGA and XRD indicate little weight loss up to 300 °C and little structure change after heated at 170 °C for 2 h, respectively. The grain interior conductivity of 1 increases continuously from 50 to 170 °C. Results of EHT calculations show that under thermal or optical excitation the conductivity of 1 is mainly due to transfer of π antibonding electrons of -PO₃ group through O atom to Ag 5s orbital, which also leads to enhancement of Ag?Ag interactions and promotes formation of Ag?Ag substructural net.
