非金属氢化物pKa定量结构性质关系(QSPR)研究

采用Tomasi的极化统一模型对非金属氢化物HmA在水相条件下进行从头算, 选取与A原子电子密度相关的7个量子化学参数对氢化物pKa进行多元回归和逐步回归, 建立的QSPR方程相关系数R分别为0.9984和0.9947, 标准偏差s分别为1.7349和2.3618, 留一法交叉验证的结果则为R=0.9689和0.9895, s=7.5985和3.3118, 表明由逐步回归建立的方程具有更高的预测可靠性, 同时也表明逐步回归分析引入的原子净电荷数NC、电荷布居数TP和最低未占分子轨道能级ELUMO 3个参数是影响HmA酸强度的关键参数. 对NC, TP和ELUMO的物理意义及其对HmA pKa影响的深入分析表明, 这3个参数是决定A原子电子密度大小的主要因素, ELUMO和TP则分别是同主族氢化物和同周期氢化物酸性强弱递变的决定因素.     

Vibrational spectra, conformations, ab initio calculations and vibrational assignments of 3-pentyn-2-ol

The infrared spectra of 3-pentyn-2-ol, CH₃CCCH(OH)CH₃, have been recorded as a vapour and liquid at ambient temperature, as a solid at 78 K in the 4000–50 cm⁻¹ range and isolated in an argon matrix at ca. 5 K. Infrared spectra of the solid phase at 78 K were obtained before and after annealing to temperatures of 120 and 130 K. The IR spectra of the solid were quite similar to that of the liquid.

Raman spectra of the liquid were recorded at room temperature and at various temperatures between 295 and 153 K. Spectra of an amorphous and annealed solid were recorded at 78 K. In the variable temperature Raman spectra, some bands changed in relative intensity and were interpreted in terms of conformational equilibria between the three possible conformers. Complete assignments were made for all the bands of the most stable conformer in which OH is oriented anti to C₁(a_Me). From various bands assigned to a second conformer in which OH is oriented anti to H_gem(a_H), the conformational enthalpy differences was found to be between 0.4 and 0.8 kJ mol⁻¹. The highest energy conformer with OH anti to C₃(a_C) was not detected.

Quantum-chemical calculations have been carried out at the MP2 and B3LYP levels with a variety of basis sets. Except for small basis set calculations for which the a_H conformer had slightly lower energy, all the calculations revealed that a_Me was the low energy conformer. The B3LYP/cc-pVTZ calculations suggested the a_Me conformer as more stable by 0.8 and 8.3 kJ mol⁻¹ relative to a_H an a_C, respectively. Vibrational wavenumbers and infrared and Raman band intensities for two of the three conformers are reported from B3LYP/cc-pVTZ calculations.     

ESR and ENDOR Investigations on Various <Emphasis Type="Italic">Wurster</Emphasis>’s Radical Cations in Solution. Experimental Results,Theoretical <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ab Initio</Emphasis>, and DFT Calculations

Summary. ESR and ENDOR spectra are reported of several symmetrical substituted N,N,N,N-tetraalkyl-p-phenylenediamine radical cations in solution. Different N,N-alkyl substituted para-phenylenediamines, like the ethyl, n-propyl, and iso-propyl derivative are compared with the parent N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (Wursters Blue Cation). N,N,N,N-Tetrabenzyl-p-phenylenediamine, 1,4-dipyrrolidinylbenzene, and N,N-bis[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]piperazine are additionally investigated. Experimental and calculated hyperfine coupling constants are compared. Characteristic UV-VIS data and redox potentials in acetonitrile are reported, together with the syntheses of the compounds.     

Quantum Chemical Study of Potential Energy Surface in the Formation of Atmospheric Sulfuric Acid?

A new potential energy surface (PES) for the atmospheric formation of sulfuric acid from OH+SO₂ is investigated using density functional theory and high-level ab initio molecular orbital theory. A pathway focused on the new PES assumes the reaction to take place between the radical complex SO₃·HO₂ and H₂O. The unusual stability of SO₃·HO₂ is the principal basis of the new pathway, which has the same final outcome as the current reaction mechanism in the literature but it avoids the production and complete release of SO₃. The entire reaction pathway is composed of three consecutive elementary steps:(1) HOSO₂+O₂→SO₃·HO₂, (2) SO₃·HO₂+H₂O→SO₃·H₂O·HO₂, (3) SO₃·H₂O·HO₂→H₂SO₄+HO₂. All three steps have small energy barriers, under 10 kcal/mol, and are exothermic, and the new pathway is therefore favorable both kinetically and thermodynamically. As a key step of the reactions, step (3), HO₂ serves as a bridge molecule for low-barrier hydrogen transfer in the hydrolysis of SO₃. Two significant atmospheric implications are expected from the present study. First, SO₃ is not released from the oxidation of SO₂ by OH radical in the atmosphere. Second, the conversion of SO₂ into sulfuric acid is weakly dependent on the humidity of air.     

Binding Matter with Antimatter: The Covalent Positron Bond

We report sufficient theoretical evidence of the energy stability of the e⁺?H₂^2? molecule, formed by two H^? anions and one positron. Analysis of the electronic and positronic densities of the latter compound undoubtedly points out the formation of a positronic covalent bond between the otherwise repelling hydride anions. The lower limit for the bonding energy of the e⁺?H₂^2? molecule is 74 kJ mol^?1 (0.77 eV), accounting for the zero‐point vibrational correction. The formation of a non electronic covalent bond is fundamentally distinct from positron attachment to stable molecules, as the latter process is characterized by a positron affinity, analogous to the electron affinity.     

A heuristic screening approach for atoms includingl-splitting

Summary  TheZ-expansion theory of Atomic Structure is supplemented with the inclusion of the external screening concept, calculated from a simplified version of the works of M. Kregar, where the two-body potential energy operators are split into the sum of effective one-body operators. The use ofZ- andN-dependent screening parameters instead of screening constants, gives a simplified Screened Hydrogenic Model which compares favourably with more sophisticated methods, specially for ionized atoms. The author of this paper has agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.

Ab initio quantum chemical and NMR study of the symmetric monooximes of 1,2,3-phenalenetrione and 1,2,3-indantrione

The possibility for nitroso-oxime tautomerism in symmetric monooximes of 1,2,3-phenalenetrione and 1,2,3-indantrione is studied by means of ab initio quantum chemical methods and NMR spectroscopy. For both compounds, ab initio calculations with different basis sets predict the oxime tautomer as most stable in agreement with the ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR results in CDCl₃ and DMSO-d₆ solutions. A coalescence of the signals for the carbon atoms from carbonyl groups of 1,2,3-phenalenetrione monooxime in DMSO-d₆ solution at temperature 360 K is observed. This coalescence may be attributed to rotation of the hydrogen atom from the hydroxyl group around the N---O bond. The rotational transition structures for both compounds at different computational levels were located in the gas phase and in solution.     

An ab initio study of the CH2O adsorption on the MgO (100) surface. Effects of replacing the active Mg ion by different metallic cations

A theoretical analysis of the interaction between formaldehyde, CH₂O, and the MgO (100) surface is reported. Ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations are carried out using an embedded cluster approach in which the environment is described by both total ion potentials and point charges. The cluster selected to describe the CH₂O-surface interaction is CH₂O[MgO₅]⁸⁻, in which the formaldehyde oxygen is coordinated to the Mg²⁺ ion. The effect of the addition of metallic cations to the catalyst is analysed by replacing the cluster Mg²⁺ ion by Na⁺, Al³⁺, Sc³⁺ and Ti⁴⁺ so as to modify the Lewis acid properties of the surface. The different contributions to the adsorbate-surface interaction are analysed, and the theoretical vibrational frequencies are discussed.
