On the role of localized molecular orbitals in the formation of bond dipoles

The hypothesis of the classical chemistry about bond dipoles resulting from shifts of separate pairs of electrons is proved using the non-canonical method of molecular orbitals (MOs). To this end, a relation is sought between the total charge distribution inside an individual chemical bond of a polyatomic molecule and the square of the respective single localized MO (LMO). General expressions for these MOs are obtained directly on the basis of the Brillouin theorem without invoking additional localization criteria. The two characteristics under comparison are presented in an explicit algebraic form in terms of meaningful components. Reshaping of square of the ‘own’ LMO of the given bond is shown to play the decisive role in the formation of secondary dipoles of initially homopolar bonds (e.g. of C–C and C–H bonds in substituted alkanes), as well as of bonds of relatively low initial polarity. Thus, representability of these dipoles by shifts of the ‘own’ pairs of electrons of respective bonds is supported. For bonds of a high initial polarity, the secondary dipoles are shown to originate mainly from contributions of LMOs of other bonds extending over the antibonding basis orbital of the given bond. Moreover, the actual secondary bond dipole takes an opposite direction vs. that predicted by the shift of the respective ‘own’ pair of electrons in this case. The latter result serves to account for the known low nucleofugality of highly electronegative heteroatoms in the S_N2 reactions.

FREE STANDING FILM OF POLYANILINE

A free standing film of polyaniline as large as 18 cm×18cm×0.002 cm can be obtained by evaporation of a solution of the chemically synthesized base in NMP. Its structure was examined by the elemental analysis, IR, U.V.-visible spectra, XPS, DSC, SEM and X-ray scattering and its conducting behavior as well as electrochemical properties were studied. Results show that the composition, structure of main chain, physical properties of the free standing film of polyanilme is similar to that of the powder. However, some differences in its electronic structure, conductivity at room temperature and potential of redox couple between the flee standing film and powder are observed, which may be due to cross-linking of the film of polyaniline.     

Trends in the CNDO/2 molecular orbital study of electronic structure in some neurotransmitter drugs

An investigation of electronic structure in some neurotransmitter drugs has been made using the CNDO/2 semi-empirical molecular orbital method.The electronic structure has been conveniently characterized by the electronic parameters nett atomic population (NAP) and bond index (BI). A variation of these electronic parameters with respect to conformation has been studied and has been found unlikely to exceed 0.1 e in most. cases. Further, the useful extent to which the electronic parameters of some commonly occurring functional groups may be regarded as conformationally invariant has been demonstrated. Also presented are (i) a discussion on the intramolecular close-approach of functional groups — the interaction between terminal —COO^? and ?NH₃⁺ groups of α-ω anaino acids is explicitly considered; (ii) an enquiry into the extension of ‘standard’ (idealized) geometry models in the elucidation of electronic structure.The implication of the results and observations presented here are briefly discussed with reference to classical and quantum structure-activity studies of drug molecules.     

A comparison of phototautomerism in different sites of free-base porphin (H2P) in n-alkane crystals

Selective laser-induced phototautomerism of free-base porphin in different n-alkanes (n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, nnonane, n-decane, n-undecane and n-dodecane) has been used to identify tautomer splittings in a number of sites in polycrystalline samples at 2 K. Pairs or lines arising from the two molecular orientations in each site can be reversibly transformed into each other. In the odd n-alkanes the occupation of different sites was not dependent on the rate at which the samples were frozen, but in the even n-alkanes metastable sites were only occupied following rapid quenching.

On the Interaction of Two Finite-Dimensional Quantum Systems

Interaction of quantum system S ^a described by the generalised × eigenvalue equation A| _s =E _s S ^a | _s (s=1,...,) with quantum system S ^b described by the generalised n×n eigenvalue equation B| _i = _i S ^b | _i (i=1,...,n) is considered. With the system S ^a is associated -dimensional space X ^a and with the system S ^b is associated an n-dimensional space X _n ^b that is orthogonal to X ^a . Combined system S is described by the generalised (+n)×(+n) eigenvalue equation [A+B+V]| _k = _k [S ^a +S ^b +P]| _k (k=1,...,n+) where operators V and P represent interaction between those two systems. All operators are Hermitian, while operators S ^a ,S ^b and S=S ^a +S ^b +P are, in addition, positive definite. It is shown that each eigenvalue _{k i} of the combined system is the eigenvalue of the × eigenvalue equation . Operator in this equation is expressed in terms of the eigenvalues _i of the system S ^b and in terms of matrix elements _s |V| _i and _s |P| _i where vectors | _s form a base in X ^a . Eigenstate | _k ^a of this equation is the projection of the eigenstate | _k of the combined system on the space X ^a . Projection | _k ^b of | _k on the space X _n ^b is given by | _k ^b =( _k S ^b –B)^–1(V– _k P})| _k ^a where ( _k S ^b –B)^–1 is inverse of ( _k S ^b –B) in X _n ^b . Hence, if the solution to the system S ^b is known, one can obtain all eigenvalues _{k i} } and all the corresponding eigenstates | _k of the combined system as a solution of the above × eigenvalue equation that refers to the system S ^a alone. Slightly more complicated expressions are obtained for the eigenvalues _{k i} } and the corresponding eigenstates, provided such eigenvalues and eigenstates exist.     

Molecular structure of carbonyl bromide as studied by gas electron diffraction

The molecular structure of COBr₂ has been determined as follows by an analysis of electron diffraction intensity: r_g(CO) = 1.178 ± 0.009 Å, r_g(C-Br) = 1.923 ± 0.005 Å and θ°_α(Br-C-Br) = 112.3 ± 0.4°. The uncertainties represent estimated limits of error. The observed systematic trends in the bond lengths and bond angles in carbonyl and thiocarbonyl halides are discussed.     

一种确定氧化数的新方法

氧化数是元素的重要性质,在无机化学中应用广泛。长期以来,确定元素氧化数主要根据桐山良一和鲍林等建立的规则,这些规则对于氧化数概念在化学中的推广普及起了很大的作用,但在遇到结构复杂或未知化合物时有时仍然会出现问题。本文根据IUPAC的氧化数定义提出,氧化数完全取决于成键两原子之间的电子供需关系,元素的最高正氧化数受到其原子价层电子数的限制,而元素的最低负氧化数受到同周期稀有气体元素外层电子数与其价层电子数差值的限制,据此建立了确定元素氧化数的新方法,该方法既不需要考虑分子结构,也不依赖元素氧化数的习惯规定,符合氧化数概念提出的初衷,简便易行,例外情况少,不仅适合大学化学教学,也适合中学化学教学。
