Fluctuations in electronegativity and global hardness induced by molecular vibrations

A pair of novel molecular indices has been proved to contain important information on the coupling between atomic displacement and electronic properties based on the electron density function within the Density Functional Theory: the nuclear reactivity (Φ) and nuclear stiffness (G). Appropriate calculation procedure has been developed and their role in describing anharmonicity of diatomic molecules has been demonstrated. This present work provides analysis of this effect for small molecules, unveiling the role of symmetry of molecular vibrational modes in modifying the affinity of a molecule to intermolecular electron transfer. The indices have been found to be a crucial factor determining thermal fluctuations in the molecular energy derivatives: electronegativity (χ) and hardness (η). The fluctuations of hardness play a specific role, as they bring a molecule uniquely to a critical region (η0), when molecule becomes unstable to an electron exchange process, due to its excitation in a selected destructive vibrational mode.

Orbital electronegativity and electron affinity of rare earth atoms using Xα-theory

Slater's transition state concept and the relativistic numerical Hartree-Fock-Slater theory has been used to calculate the electronegativity and first ionization potential for the rare earth atoms. Based on these results the electron affinity has also been estimated. The theory predicts almost constant values of the electronegativity as 2 eV, first ionization potential as 8 eV and the electron affinity of -(4–5) eV respectively.This work is dedicated to the memory of Prof. J. C. Slater.Alexander von Humboldt fellow, on leave from school of chemistry, University of Hyderabad, India.     

金属态原子电负性的计算及应用(I)

提出了一种表示金属态原子电负性的计论方法，即X＝Pexp（-KsR），其中P为Pauling电负性，Ks为Thomas-Fermi定义的表示金属晶体内某一金属原子核外电子受邻近配位原子屏蔽长度的倒数，R为该金属的一价离子半径．通过将由此获得的金属态原子电负性值及Pauling电负性值同金属表面的电子脱出功，CO、O2分子在某些过渡金属表面上的解离吸附热数值关联结果比较，发现提出的金属态原子电负性概念能更准确地反映过渡金属在催化过程中所表现出的各种热化学性质．     

The room temperature preparation of metastable fluorides and potent oxidizers

The low electronegativity of an oxidation state in an anion enables high oxidation states, e.g. Ni^IV, and Ag^III, to be easily attained in liquid anhydrous HF (aHF), made basic with fluoride-ion donors. The oxidation state can be enhanced if elemental fluorine is photo-dissociated. Teflon^® valves and lines, especially transparent and kinetically stable fluorocarbon containers for the aHF solutions, provide for this. Binary fluorides that are of low solubility in aHF, can be displaced by stronger F⁻ acceptors from their high oxidation-state anions. NiF₄, NiF₃, and AgF₃, which can be made in this manner, are thermodynamically unstable with respect to loss of fluorine. The electronegativity of the oxidation state in the binary fluoride is higher than in the anion (hence the metastability) and when a strong F⁻ acceptor converts the binary fluoride into a cationic species, the electronegativity is further enhanced. Thus cationic Ag^III and Ni^IV are superior to KrF⁺, as one-electron oxidizers and are the most potent oxidizers known thus far. They are able to remove the electron from all platinum-metal hexafluoro-anions, MF₆⁻, to liberate the hexafluorides. All of this chemistry can be achieved at or below room temperature.     

Site‐Specific Substitution Preferences in the Solid Solutions Li12Si7–xGex,Li12–yNaySi7, Na7LiSi8–zGez,and Li3NaSi6–vGev

The mixed silicide‐germanides Li₁₂Si_7–xGe_x, Na₇LiSi_8–zGe_z, and Li₃NaSi_6–vGe_v which could serve as potential precursors for Si_1–xGe_x materials were synthesized and characterized by X‐ray diffraction methods. The full solid solution series Li₁₂Si_7–xGe_x (0 ≤ x ≤ 7) is easily accessible from the elements and features preferential occupation of the more negatively charged crystallographic tetrel positions by Ge, which is the more electronegative element. In case of Na₇LiSi_8–zGe_z a broad solid solution range of 1.3 ≤ x ≤ 8 is available but the ternary silicide Na₇LiSi₈ could not be obtained by the tested methods of synthesis. The solubility of Ge in Li₃NaSi_6–vGe_v is highly limited to a maximum of v ≈ 0.5, and again the formally more negatively charged tetrel positions are preferred by Ge. Additionally, the two crystallographic Li positions in Li₁₂Si₇ with unusually large displacement parameters can be partially substituted by Na in Li_12–yNa_ySi₇ with 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.6. The statistical mixing of Li and Na in this solid solution contrasts the typical ordering of Li and Na in most ternary tetrelides.     

从“得失氧”到“极性翻转”:氧化还原反应概念的历史演变

18世纪末,拉瓦锡在氧化学说范式下,建立了“得失氧”角度上的氧化还原反应的概念。19世纪,约翰逊在化合价学说的基础上,发现氧化还原反应的共同特征是“化合价升降”,其概念扩大至反应前后化合价发生升降的一类反应。20世纪初,弗莱从“电子转移”的角度解释了化合价升降的原因,揭示了氧化还原反应的微观本质。1948年,格拉斯顿在价键理论和电负性基础上,从“氧化数变化”的角度提出了氧化还原反应的人为表征概念。20世纪末,古德斯坦和李良助分别从“电负性顺序”和“极性翻转”角度提出了氧化还原反应的现代理解。氧化还原反应概念的发展史,反映了化学思想的发展和科学认识的变化,对化学研究有重要的启示。
