A theoretical study of topomerization of imine systems: Inversion,rotation or mixed mechanisms?

The different mechanisms, rotation, inversion, or intermediate mechanism, by which occur the topomerization of imine systems R₂ CN X have been studied by applying ab initio, B3LYP, and MP2 methods. The effect of a wide variety of substituents R and X on the isomerization pathway have been examined by computing fully optimized structures of the ground and transition states (136 isomers belonging to different imine families were studied and more than 300 transition structures were determined at various levels of theory). Energy barriers have been also obtained and it was found that the groups R and X have a strong influence on the type of mechanism involved and the activation energies. Thus, and depending on the type of substituents, transition state structures related to the following kinds of processes were found: pure inversion, intermediate mechanisms, rotation, and enhanced rotation (hyper‐rotation). In turn, the corresponding activation energies range between very low (<10 kcal/mol) and extremely high (> 70 kcal/mol) values. A simple index that allows us to quantify the percentage of inversion or rotation mechanism is proposed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010     

Theoretical study of the structural,spectroscopic and energetic properties of difluoro(germylthio)phosphine and difluoro(germylseleno)phosphine in the gas phase

Theoretical methods have been employed to investigate the structural, spectroscopic and energetic properties of difluoro(germylthio)phosphine in the C_s symmetry in the gas phase. The levels of theory used are MP2 and DFT/B3LYP and the basis set used for all atoms is 6-311G(d,p). The computed structural parameters, namely, bond lengths and bond angles and spectroscopic parameters, namely, infrared frequencies, Raman activities and NMR chemical shifts have been compared with experimental data reported in literature. The structure of this compound has been analysed using natural bond orbital approach. Both the ab initio methods perform satisfactorily when the predicted and experimental parameters are compared. We have extended this study, using the same methods and basis set, to the selenium analogue, namely, difluoro(germylseleno)phosphine for which literature is elusive. The MP2/6-311G(d,p) geometrical parameters for difluoro(germylseleno)phosphine are: r(P–Se) = 2.270, r(Ge-Se) = 2.386, r(P–F) = 1.604, r(Ge–H) = 1.530 Å, ∠(Ge–Se–P) = 91.4, ∠(F–P–F) = 96.7, ∠(Se–P–F) = 99.9 and ∠(Se–Ge–H) = 109.5°. Apart from these, we have also studied the energetic parameters for their synthesis. The results indicate that formation of the sulphur-containing compound is favoured thermodynamically.     

A survey of wave function effects on theoretical calculation of gas phase F NMR chemical shifts using factorial design

The wave functions for calculating gas phase ¹⁹F chemical shifts were optimally selected using the factorial design as a multivariate technique. The effects of electron correlation, triple-ξ valance shell, diffuse function, and polarization function on calculated ¹⁹F chemical shifts were discussed. It is shown that of the four factors, electron correlation and the polarization functions affect the results significantly. B3LYP/6-31 + G(df,p) wave functions have been proposed as the best and the most efficient level of theory for calculating ¹⁹F chemical shifts. An additional series of fluoro compounds were used as a test set and their predicted ¹⁹F chemical shifts values confirmed the validity of the approaches.     

Gas phase interaction of L‐proline with Be2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions: a computational study

Geometry optimisation and metal ion affinities (MIAs) of the binding configurations of Be²⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ to L ‐proline were calculated using the hybrid Density Functional Theory (DFT‐B3LYP) and second order Møllet?Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) methods. Be²⁺ was found to bind preferentially in a charge transfer type arrangement through the carbonyl oxygen (? C?O) and the lone pair of the imino‐group nitrogen atom (? NH? ). On the contrary Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ were found to prefer binding in a bi‐dentate manner through the carboxylate group of L ‐proline (OCO) in a zwitterion form. The main types of interactions found to influence the binding preference of M²⁺ ions to L ‐proline were (i) charge transfer in the case of Be²⁺ ions and (ii) electrostatic interactions in the case of Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ ions. Inspection of the IR stretching of the N? H and the O? H groups of L ‐proline with M²⁺ ions in a chelating configuration (to both O and N atoms) indicated a considerable shift to higher frequency with decreasing MIA. On the other hand, the MIA for the zwitterion L ‐proline with M²⁺ tracks the reciprocal distance of the M²⁺? OCO bond further confirming that the nature of the bond is mainly electrostatic. Comparison with other molecules containing the carboxylic function is also included in order to gain more insight on the types of interaction of this amino acid with metal ions in general.

Ab initio electronic structure calculations using MP2 wavefunctions have been used to investigate a reaction path for the hydrosilation reaction catalyzed by divalent titanium [modeled by TiH₂, TiCl₂, and Ti(C₅H₅)₂]. Optimized structures and energies are presented. All model reactions predict a barrierless reaction path compared to a barrier of 78 kcal/mol for the uncatalyzed reaction.

Analytical gradients of the second‐order Møller–Plesset energy using Cholesky decompositions

An algorithm for computing analytical gradients of the second‐order Møller–Plesset (MP2) energy using density fitting (DF) is presented. The algorithm assumes that the underlying canonical Hartree–Fock reference is obtained with the same auxiliary basis set, which we obtain by Cholesky decomposition (CD) of atomic electron repulsion integrals. CD is also used for the negative semidefinite MP2 amplitude matrix. Test calculations on the weakly interacting dimers of the S22 test set (Jure?ka et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2006, 8, 1985) show that the geometry errors due to the auxiliary basis set are negligible. With double‐zeta basis sets, the error due to the DF approximation in intermolecular bond lengths is better than 0.1 pm. The computational time is typically reduced by a factor of 6–7. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
