Classifying Structural Characteristics to Enhance Computation of Enthalpy of Formation of Halohydrocarbons

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are made and least squares calibration performed for various halohydrocabons, which were 27 straight‐chain alkyl halides, 20 branch‐chain alkyl halides and 19 aromatic halides, to determine their enthalpies of formation (ΔH_f). The mean absolute error (M. |A.E.|) in ΔH_f across 66 molecular computations was only 7.8 kJ/mol (1.9 kcal/mol). Grouping the molecules by their structural characteristics improved M. |A.E.| of ΔH_f by 0.2–2.2 kJ/mol over that obtained using corresponding modified data for the same 66 unclassified molecules.     

Etude théorique par la méthode DFT des structures non-classiques des systèmes X2H2F2 (X=Si, Ge, Sn)

The structure and the relative stability of isomers of molecules X₂H₂F₂ (X=Si, Ge, Sn) have been studied using the density functional theory (DFT). We have determined the optimised structures of the substituted isomers. The XX bond have been studied and compared to that of the parent molecules: X₂H₄. It appears that, for the planar and trans ethylenic systems, the double bond character of the XX decreases when the hydrogen atoms are substituted by fluorine atoms. The most stable structure is shown to be the one where the two fluorine atoms are fixed on the same atom. The bridged structures are also studied.

A 1H NMR study of 1,4-bis(N-hexadecyl-N, N-dimethylammonium)butane dibromide/sodium anthranilate system: spherical to rod-shaped transition

The effect of addition of sodium anthranilate to 5 mM micellar solutions of gemini surfactant 1,4-bis(N-hexadecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium)butane dibromide is investigated by ¹H NMR. The solubilization site of anthranilate anion near the micellar surface is inferred. In the micelles, the An⁻ ions intercalate among the surfactant headgroups producing morphological changes.     

Molecular orbital study for Na, Mg, and Al adsorption on the Si (111) surface

We investigated the interactions between the Si(111) surface and the Na, Mg, and Al atoms using cluster model calculations. Calculations were performed at levels of complete-active-space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) and multi-reference singly and doubly excited configuration interaction (MRSDCI) calculations using the model core potential method. Our calculations revealed that the most favorable sites of Na, Mg, and Al adsorption on Si(111) are on top (T₁), bridge (B₂), and 3-fold filled (T₄) sites, respectively. The nature of chemical bonds between these metal atoms and the dangling bonds of the surface Si atoms are found to be essentially covalent.     

Bibliometric Analysis of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Journal of Structural Chemistry</Emphasis>

Bibliometric analysis has been carried out for the Journal of Structural Chemistry (JSC) published since 1960 by the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. All JSC publications which appeared between 1960 and 2002 have been chosen online from the Chemical Abstracts and Science Citation Index databases of the STN International net and analyzed according to topics, authors, affiliations, and other criteria. JSC authors and publications with the largest numbers of citations have been identified. The impact factor has been determined for JSC 2002.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by V. M. Buznik, I.

Synthesis and characterization of sodium titanates Na2Ti3O7 and Na2Ti6O13

Na₂Ti₃O₇ and Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ were synthesized by sol-gel method in order to obtain pure phases. Different heat-treatments were applied on powders and pellets of these materials. The effects were studied by XRD, dilatometry, TGA-DTA, SEM and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Pure Na₂Ti₃O₇ was obtained at 973 K. Sintering at 1373 K caused a partial decomposition into Na₂Ti₆O₁₃. The Na₂Ti₃O₇ powder sintered at 1273 K showed polygonal microstructure. Na₂Ti₃O₇ pellets sintered at 1323 K for 10 h exhibited large structures. This latter microstructure decreased the electrical conductivity of Na₂Ti₃O₇. Pure Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ was obtained at 873 K. Sintering at 1073 K caused a partial decomposition into TiO₂ (rutile). Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ pellets sintered at 1323 K for 10 h exhibited common shrinkage behavior. This shrinkage process increased the electrical conductivity of this material. The presence of TiO₂ resulted in a oxygen partial pressure dependence of the electrical conductivity.
