Computational study on the ring distortions of 1,4-dicyanobenzene in the gas phase and in the crystal

A molecular mechanics software enhanced to perform empirical energy calculations on crystals (KESSHOU) was further developed to handle intermolecular electrostatic interactions as well. The packing of the molecules of 1,4-dicyanobenzene and 1,4-diisocyanobenzene in the crystal was studied. The role of the van der Waals and the electrostatic interactions in the balance of nonbonded atom-atom interactions is analyzed. The packing forces are dominated by van der Waals forces. The electrostatic interactions have higher stabilizing contribution for the dicyano isomer than for the diisocyano form. The dependence of the results on the size of the crystal, the molecular mechanics force field (MM2 vs MM3), and the dielectric constant are also assessed. Ab initio MP2/6–311G** geometries of the isolated molecules are in accordance with the observed benzene ring distortions determined by electron diffraction.     

Kraftfeldrechnungen an linearen Oligopyrrolen: 2,2′-Bipyrrol, 2,2′-Furylpyrrol und Prodigiosen

Using a specific force field model, relative stabilities of 2,2-bipyrrole and 2,2-furylpyrrole conformers as well as of prodigiosene tautomers, configurations, and conformations, are studied. 2,2-Bipyrrole adopts anantiperiplanar conformation in accord with other theoretical calculations and experimental findings. Its rotational barrier calculated by this method compares favourably to the one derived by other means. For the parent prodigiosene the (Z)sp,sp arrangement is found to be the most stable one. The two possible tautomers within its dipyrrin fragment do not show a significant energy difference.

Bis(crown-6)calix[4]arene/Cs+ Coordination Chemistry in NPME Solution

NMR spectroscopy was used to show that the symmetry of the crown ether bis(C6) is increased by an increase of the alkali metal cation radius. The EXAFS spectrum demonstrates that a seven oxygen atom coordinated configuration is present in the bis(C6)/Cs⁺/NPME system, where NPME denotes o-nitrophenylmethyl ether. The seventh oxygen in this complex, besides the six crown ether oxygens of bis(C6), may come either from a H₂O molecule or an NO₃⁻ ion.     

A facile synthesis of 4- and 6-chloromethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylates: replacement of a sulfonic acid functionality by chlorine

Valuable new synthetic intermediates, 4- or 6-chloromethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylates, were prepared by the elimination of SO₂ from 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-indole-4- or 6-methanesulfonic acids, respectively, which are easily accessible by Fischer-type indolization.
