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。     

Theoretical Definition of a Functional Group and the Molecular Orbital Paradigm

It is the purpose of this review to demonstrate that the empirical classification of the observations of chemistry in terms of the properties assigned to functional groups is a consequence of and is predicted by physics. This is accomplished by showing that the atoms and functional groups of chemistry can be identified with bounded space-filling objects whose properties are defined by quantum mechanics. The quantum mechanical definition of a group is combined with a new pictorial representation of its form to obtain a unified picture which should make it eminently recognizable to chemists. This picture, when combined with the demonstrated ability of these groups to recover the measured properties of atoms in molecules, is offered as one which meets the expectations a chemist associates with the concept of a functional group. The manner in which this physical definition of a group differs fundamentally from models of functional groups based upon molecular orbital theory is discussed.     

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.

Magnetic Orbitals and Mechanisms of Exchange I. Direct Exchange

Summary. The problem of direct exchange is examined in the simplest cases (formal coupling of two electrons initially isolated and hydrogen molecule). Then we consider the general case of a solid characterized by weak overlaps between the atomic orbitals of first-nearest neighbours so that the involved electrons are quasi-localized. We recall the physical origin of spin-orbit coupling. Its influence on direct exchange allows one to revisit Hunds rules and to express phenomenological Hamiltonians describing anisotropic couplings as well as the antisymmetrical Dzialoshinski-Moriya coupling.     

三接触弯曲构型的蓝移氢键CH3…Y的理论研究

运用量子化学从头算方法, 在MP2/6-311＋＋G(d,p), MP2/6-311＋＋G(2df,2p), MP2/6-311＋＋G(3df,3pd)和QCISD/6-311＋＋G(d,p)水平上, 研究了CH₃F, CH₃Cl和CH₃Br作为质子给体与Cl^－, Br^－作为质子接受体形成的氢键CH₃…Y. 计算结果表明: 6种复合物中C—H键收缩, 伸缩振动频率增大, 形成蓝移氢键. 分子中原子(Atoms in Molecules, AIM)分析表明, 这些复合物的电子密度拓扑性质与普通氢键有着本质的不同, 在Y…H之间不存在键临界点, 而在Y与C之间存在键临界点, 因此这些相互作用严格地不能称为氢键. 自然键轨道(Natural bond orbital, NBO)分析表明, 在这些复合物中弯曲的CH…Y的特殊结构使得分子间超共轭n(Y)®σ*(C—H)减小到可以忽略; 质子接受体的电子密度没有转移到σ*(C—H)上, 而是转移到了σ*(C—X) (X＝F, Cl, Br)上; 存在一定程度的重杂化; 分子内超共轭相互作用减小使得σ*(C—H)的电子密度减少. 这些因素共同导致C—H伸缩振动频率的蓝移.

Electrochemical behaviour of a series of Fe(III) complexes with tetradentate Schiff base ligands

Summary The electrochemical reduction of the Fe(III) complexes with a series of substituted N,N-Ethylenebisacetonimines was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile solution at a platinum electrode. The substituent does not significantly influence the redox properties of the studied complexes. The symmetry of the redox orbital is responsible for the observed behaviour of the complexes.

Computing the Fukui function from ab initio quantum chemistry: approaches based on the extended Koopmans’ theorem

The extended Koopmans’ theorem is related to Fukui function, which measures the change in electron density that accompanies electron attachment and removal. Two approaches are used, one based on the extended Koopmans’ theorem differential equation and the other based directly on the expression of the ionized wave function from the extended Koopmans’ theorem. It is observed that the Fukui function for electron removal can be modeled as the square of the first Dyson orbital, plus corrections. The possibility of useful generalizations to the extended Koopmans’ theorem is considered; some of these extensions give approximations, or even exact expressions, for the Fukui function for electron attachment.     

Dynamic stability of carbonyl ylides

The non- and fluorine-substituted singlet carbonyl ylides are studied by using ab initio MCSCF calculations. The thermodynamic stability of the carbonyl ylides and the intramolecular stability to isomerization or fragmentation reaction coordinates is demonstrated in terms of the topological structure of the ab initio potential energy surfaces. The allylic resonance is found to be dynamically unstable, considering out-of-plane vibrational mode. The instability is studied by the symmetries of the low-lying excitations out of the MCSCF wave function.     

双核金属酞菁类化合物催化脱硫机理研究Ⅳ──中心金属离子对MPc－PcM催化活性的影响

实验研究结果表明双核金属酞菁类化合物ＭＰｃ－ＰｃＭ（Ｍ＝Ｖ、Ｃｒ、Ｍｎ、Ｆｅ、Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ）是催化Ｈ＿２Ｓ液相氧化反应的良好催化剂，且其催化活性顺序为Ｃｏ＞Ｎｉ＞Ｖ＞Ｆｅ＞Ｃｕ＞Ｃｒ＞Ｍｎ．采用量子化学理论计算方法（ＩＮＤＯ／Ｓ）分析了其前线分子轨道的构成特征，结果表明这几种ＭＰｃ－ＰｃＭ的ＬＵＭＯ轨道皆为有金属离子参与形成的π轨道，但ＨＯＭＯ轨道间的差异却很大．Ｍ＝Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ、Ｃｒ时，其ＨＯＭＯ为π轨道；而Ｍ＝Ｆｅ、Ｍｎ时，其ＨＯＭＯ却为σ轨道．正是在前线分子轨道的轨道类型、共轭程度及金属轨道贡献三方面因素的协同作用下，才导致ＭＰｃ－ＰｃＭ的催化活性顺序并非按中心金属离子价电子层ｄ电子数的递变而呈现出规律性的变化．
