About the evaluation of the local kinetic, potential and total energy densities in closed-shell interactions

Abstract The local kinetic G( r ) , potential V( r ) and total E( r ) energy densities, calculated at the critical points of 37 H⋯F closed-shell interactions by quantum mechanical methods, have been compared to their estimated values obtained by using an approximate evaluation of G( r ) and the local form of the virial theorem. The results presented here show very small differences between the corresponding quantities, and therefore support the validity of the estimations. Thus, the equations used in this procedure provide useful information for topological studies of experimental electron densities, permitting the evaluation of those energetic properties from the modelling of the topologic…

Comparison of electron density properties in frozen and relaxed electronic distributions.

Two kinds of electron densities for several small molecules (H(2), FH, CH(3)CH(3), CH(3)NH(2), CH(3)OH, and CH(3)F) have been generated for a wide range of bond distances. The first one, as the sum of the electron density of the isolated fragments, and the second one by optimizing the electron density at each given geometrical disposition. A number of properties of this two electronic distributions have been compared (position of the bond critical points, electron density, Laplacian, curvatures, and local energies). The differences, associated to the bond formation, are found to be very important for most of the cases.

Contributions to the application of the transferability principle and the multipolar modeling of H atoms: electron-density study of L-histidinium dihydrogen orthophosphate orthophosphoric acid. I.

The electron density of L-histidinium dihydrogen orthophosphate orthophosphoric acid has been determined from X-ray and neutron diffraction data at low temperature (120 K). Topological analysis of the electron density has been used to analyse the effect of the multipolar refinement strategy on the electron-density model in the hydrogen-bonding regions. The electron density at low temperature has also been used to acquire high-quality experimental thermal parameters at room temperature using the transferability principle. Molecular vibrations, TLS and normal mode analysis are discussed and studied at both temperatures.

Coordination behaviour of sulfanilamide derivatives.

Abstract Hg(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with the ligands sulfadimethoxine, sulfamethoxypyridazine, sulfadiazine, sulfamerazine, sulfadimidine and sulfamethoxazole have been prepared and characterised by spectral data. 1H and 13C NMR have been used to interpret the structural characteristics of the complexes in solution. The X-ray crystal structures of [Hg(sulfamethoxypyridazinato)2] (2a), [Cd(sulfadimidinato)2(H2O)]·2H2O (4b) and [Zn(sulfamethoxazolato)2(py)2(H2O)2] (6d) have been determined. In complex 2a the Hg(II) ion lies on an inversion centre and exhibits linear coordination by two sulfonamidic nitrogen atoms [Hg–N(1)=2.071(4) A] of the two deprotonated sulfamethoxypyridazinato l…
