Analysis to obtain precise density fluctuation of supercritical fluids by small-angle X-ray scattering

A procedure of analysis for small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data has been established to obtain density fluctuation of supercritical fluids near the critical point. It is indispensable for the certain analysis to utilize both of high-quality SAXS data measured under stable thermodynamic condition and accurate P–ρ–T data in supercritical region. As a standard example, SAXS measurements have been performed for supercritical CO₂, which is a suitable sample satisfying the condition for both experiment and analysis. The measurements were carried out along four isothermal conditions at reduced temperature of T_r = T/T_c = 1.020, 1.022, 1.043 and 1.064. Comparing the experimental density fluctuation with calculated one from the most reliable equation of state, the differences are within 8% at most.     

Orbital Energy Order and the Through Bond Interaction in Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules

The homonuclear diatomic molecules are the simplest systems having both the σ framework and the lone pair orbitals n_a and _b for investigating their through space and through bond interaction. The striking orbital energy order n_g～ n_a+ n_b > n_n ～ n_a - n_b has been accounted for by the through bond interaction. However, when the p-content in the lone pair orbitals n_a and n_b decreases, one may have the reverse orbital energy order: n_g < n_g. A reverse orbital energy order has been found in F₂ and Cl₂, whose n_a and n_b are almost pure s-type atomic orbitals. The reverse order also occurs in molecule N₂ when the internuclear distance is larger man 1.5 Å. It is also found that the detail through space and through bond interaction and the eventual orbital energy order for n_g and n_u can be accounted for by the Fock operator within the localized molecular orbital space.     

直键与弯键的对称性判据

一穹键的提出人们认为,杂化轨道(HAO)角函数的最大值方向(亦即HAO的方向)指向与之键合的原子,这样形成的化学键称为“直键”。但环丙烷分子中的三个碳原子构成三元环,有60°的键角。而任意两个正交的S-P杂化轨道之间的夹角θ都不可能小于90°,因而形成C-C键的HAO,不可能指向键合原子,环上的C-C键不可能是直键,而是“弯键”(BentBond)。通常,人们认为张力分子环上的键是弯键,其他的键为直键。

High pressure FTIR study of intramolecular hydrogen bonding and conformation of a small peptide in solution

Effect of pressure on conformational equilibria of a small peptide N-acetyl-l-Pro-l-Leu-Gly-NH₂ in a chloroform solution has been studied by FTIR spectroscopy. Absorption in the NH stretching region was measured at pressures in the 1–1080 bar range and at 296 K, and decomposed into component bands by least-squares fitting. Intensity ratios of bands which were assigned to a hydrogen-bond-free conformer and intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded conformers with 10- and 13-membered hydrogen bonded rings, respectively, were examined as a function of pressure. It was found that the conformer with the 13-membered ring has definitely smaller partial molar volume than the other two conformers which have nearly the same volume with each other. On the basis of a simple dielectric model, we have shown that the conformer with the 13-membered hydrogen-bonded ring has a considerably large dipole moment which is consistent with the α-helical structure suggested by the previous variable-temperature FTIR study.     

The influence of the mercury and thallium atoms in organomercury and organothallium nitroxyl radicals on their reactivity

An increase is found in the reactivity of organomercury and organothallium nitroxyl mono- and biradicals of the imidazoline type in comparison with the analogous compounds without organometallic fragments. This is explained by the formation of coordination bonds NHg, NTl, and NOHg.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 224–226, January, 1993.     

Ab initio through‐space/bond interaction analysis of the long C–C bonds in Bi(anthracene‐9,10‐dimethylene) photoisomers

The bi(anthracene‐9,10‐dimethylene) photoisomer has remarkably long C–C single bonds. To examine the lengthening of the C–C bond, we propose a novel procedure for quantitatively analyzing orbital interactions in a molecule at the level of the ab initio molecular orbital method. In this procedure, we can cut off the specific through‐space/bond interactions in a molecule by artificially increasing the absolute magnitude of the exponents in a Gaussian function. Then, the spatial orbital interactions were perfectly cut off, and, each term that makes up the total energy, that is, the nuclear–electron attractions, the electron–electron repulsions, and the nuclear–nuclear repulsions cancel each other. Several model molecules of the photoisomer were analyzed by this procedure. It was found that the orbital interaction between the p orbital on the benzene ring and the σ* orbital on the C–C bond in question, σ→σ* electron transfer through π orbital, weakens the C–C bond efficiently when these orbitals were located in the “periplanar” conformation. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Cyclic vinylogous triflate hemiacetals as new surrogates for alkynyl aldehydes

Cyclic vinylogous triflate hemiacetals can serve as ‘synthetic equivalents’ for alkynyl aldehydes: treatment of a vinylogous triflate hemiacetal with excess amounts of Grignard reagents produces acyclic alkynyl alcohols in good to high yields. This transformation likely involves the Grob-type C-C bond cleaving fragmentation to form the alkynyl aldehyde in situ. Subsequent nucleophilic attack of the Grignard reagent furnishes secondary alkynols. Vinylogous triflate hemiacetals are easily prepared by DIBALH reduction of vinylogous acyl triflates, which are derived from cyclic 1,3-diketones.
