Rhodium‐Catalyzed Regioselective C7‐Olefination of Indazoles Using an N‐Amide Directing Group

A rhodium‐catalyzed regioselective C−H olefination of indazole is described. This protocol relies on the use of an efficient and removable N ,N ‐diisopropylcarbamoyl directing group, which offers facile access to C7‐olefinated indazoles with high regioselectivity, ample substrate scope and broad functional group tolerance.     

Extended triphenylamine conjugated systems derivatized by perfluorophenyl groups

Two triphenylamine derivatives bearing terminal perfluorophenyl groups have been synthesized. Their HOMO, LUMO levels and electronic band gap have been evaluated by spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements and rationalized with theoretical calculations. X-ray structure analysis of crystals allowed the observation of multiple intermolecular interactions due to the presence of the perfluorophenyl pendant groups. The multiplication of these interactions explains the differences between calculated (in gas phase) and observed (in solid states) structures.     

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the binary mixture [(C2H5)2CO + CH3OH] probed by polarized Raman measurements and DFT calculations

The Raman spectra of neat (C₂H₅)₂CO (pentanone) and its binary mixtures with hydrogen donor solvent (CH₃OH), [(C₂H₅)₂CO + CH₃OH] having different mole fractions of the reference system, (C₂H₅)₂CO in the range 0.1-0.9 at a regular interval of 0.1 were recorded in the CO stretching region. In neat liquid, the Raman peak appears asymmetric. The asymmetric nature of the peak has been attributed to the CO stretching mode of the two conformers of (C₂H₅)₂CO having C₂ and C_2v point groups and the corresponding bands at ∼1711 and ∼1718 cm⁻¹, respectively. A careful analysis of the I_iso (isotropic component of the Raman scattered intensity) at different concentrations reveals that upon dilution with methanol, at mole fraction C = 0.6, an additional peak in the CO stretching region is observed at ∼1703 cm⁻¹ which is attributed to the hydrogen bonding with methanol. A peculiar feature in this study is that upon dilution, the peak at ∼1718 cm⁻¹ shows a minimum at C = 0.6, but on further dilution it shows a blue shift. However, the other peak at ∼1711 cm⁻¹ shows a continuous red shift with dilution as well as a maximum at C = 0.7 in the linewidth vs. concentration plot, which is essentially due to competition between motional narrowing and diffusion phenomena. A significant amount of narrowing in the Raman band at ∼1718 cm⁻¹ can be understood in terms of caging effect of the reference molecule by the solvent molecules at high dilution. A density functional theoretic (DFT) calculation on optimized geometries and vibrational frequencies of two conformers of neat (C₂H₅)₂CO in C₂ ad C_2v forms and the complexes with one and two CH₃OH molecules with both the conformers was performed. The experimental results and theoretical calculations together indicate a co-existence of two conformers as well as hydrogen bonded complex with methanol in the binary mixture, [(C₂H₅)₂CO + CH₃OH] at intermediate concentrations.

用GGA密度泛函及其长程、色散校正方法计算各类氢键的结合能

应用广义梯度近似(GGA) (PW91和PBE)、含动能密度的广义梯度近似(meta-GGA) (M06-L)、杂化泛函(hyper-GGA)(M06-2X、X3LYP和B3LYP)及其长程校正泛函LC-DFT(CAM-B3LYP、LC-ωPBE和ωB97X)和色散校正密度泛函(DFT-D)(ωB97X-D和B97-D),用多种基函数对15种不同强度的传统氢键和非传统氢键体系的结合能进行了系统的计算与分析.并与高精度的CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ结果比较发现:在上述各类泛函中,对于氢键结合能的计算M06-2X和ωB97X-D泛函较为精确与可靠,且没有必要使用过大的基函数,6-311++G(2d,2p)或aug-cc-pVDZ水平的基组就已足够,各类泛函所计算结合能的基组重叠误差(BSSE)均较小,除ωB97X和ωB97X-D外,其它9种泛函不经BSSE校正也能得到同样甚至更准确的结果.

Evidence for water structuring forces between surfaces

Structured water on apposing surfaces can generate significant energies due to reorganization and displacement of water as the surfaces encounter each other. Force measurements on a multitude of biological structures using the osmotic stress technique have elucidated commonalities that point toward an underlying hydration force. In this review, the forces of two contrasting systems are considered in detail: highly charged DNA and nonpolar, uncharged hydroxypropyl cellulose. Conditions for both net repulsion and attraction, along with the measured exclusion of chemically different solutes from these macromolecular surfaces, are explored and demonstrate common features consistent with a hydration force origin. Specifically, the observed interaction forces can be reduced to the effects of perturbing structured surface water.
