Calculation of vapor pressures not requiring the derivatives of the energy of mixing
1997
A method is presented for the calculation of vapor pressures exclusively on the basis of the energy of mixing, the knowledge of chemical potentials is not required. The only condition used for the calculation is the minimum of the energy of mixing of the overall system in equilibrium. The gas phase is treated as an ideal gas, for the liquid phase no specific thermodynamic description is assumed. The method is demonstrated for a mixture of two solvents and one polymer. The system water/poly(ethylene oxide), the thermodynamics of which are described by an equation that can only be solved numerically thus impeding the calculation of chemical potentials, serves as an example. Interaction parame…
Theoretical Study of the Elimination Kinetics of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives in the Gas Phase. Decomposition of 2-Chloropropionic Acid
1997
The reaction mechanism for the decomposition of 2-chloropropionic acid in the gas phase to form hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, and acetaldehyde has been theoretically characterized. Analytical gradients have been used by means of AM1 and PM3 semiempirical procedures and ab initio methods at HF and DFT (BLYP) levels with the 6-31G** basis set. The correlation effects were also included by using the perturbational approach at the MP2 level with the 6-31G** and 6-31++G** basis sets and the variational approach at the CISD/6-31G** level and by means of MCSCF wave functions with a (6,6) complete active space and the 6-31G** basis set. The global potential energy surface has been studied, an…
1,3-Di(hetero)aryl-7-substituted Pyrenes—An Undiscovered Area of Important Pyrene Derivatives
2019
Despite the pyrene derivatives have been covered extensively by scientists during the last years, many interesting properties and applications of pyrene derivatives have been presented, nowadays there are still areas of pyrenes’ chemistry that need to be fulfilled. Most of the described in literature pyrenes are 1,3,6,8-tetrasubstituted followed by 4,5,9,10-tetrasubstituted, 2,7-, and 1,6-, and 1,8-disubstituted pyrene derivatives. In the case of 1,3-di(hetero)aryl-7-substituted, there are only a few examples of derivatives containing at position 7 - tert-butyl group. In this work, the necessity of synthesis of 1,3-di(hetero)aryl-7-substituted pyrenes is presented based on the results of th…
Synthesis and Conformational Analysis of Saturated3,1,2-Benzoxazaphosphinine 2-Oxides
2005
N-Unsubstituted, N-methyl and N-benzyl cis- and trans-2(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexylamines were subjected to ring closure with phenylphosphonic dichloride, phenyl dichlorophosphate and bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphoramidic dichloride in order to synthesize P-epimeric diastereomers of the corresponding unsubsituted and N-substituted 2-phenyl-, 2phenoxy- and 2-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]octahydro-2H3,1,2-benzoxazaphosphinine 2-oxides. The stereochemistry and conformations of the prepared compounds were analyzed mainly by variable-temperature 1 H, 13 C and 31 P NMR spectroscopy. Geometry optimizations were performed for some trans-fused molecules by utilizing the B3LYP DFT method and a locally dense basi…
ChemInform Abstract: A Theoretical Determination of the Dissociation Energy of the Nitric Oxide Dimer.
2010
Multi-reference CI methods have been applied to determine the dissociation energy and structure of thecis-N2O2 molecule. The convergence of the theoretical result has been checked with respect to a systematic expansion of the one-electron basis set and the multi-reference CI wave function. The best calculated value, 13.8 kJ/mol, is in agreement with the experimental value, 12.2 kJ/mol. It has been obtained with an extended ANO-type basis set [6s5p3d2f], including the effect of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) in the geometry optimization, and additional effects, such as the electron correlation of core electrons and relativistic corrections, using the average coupled pair functional…
Rotational spectra of isotopic species of silyl fluoride. Part II: theoretical and empirical equilibrium structure
2010
Abstract The equilibrium structure of silyl fluoride, SiH 3 F, has been reinvestigated using both theoretical and experimental data. With respect to the former, quantum-chemical calculations at the coupled-cluster level have been employed together with extrapolation to the basis set limit, consideration of higher excitations in the cluster operator, and inclusion of core correlation as well as relativistic corrections ( r (Si–F) = 1.5911 A, r (Si–H) = 1.4695 A, and ∠FSiH = 108.30°). A semi-experimental equilibrium structure has been determined based on the available rotational constants for the various isotopic species of silyl fluoride ( 28 SiH 3 F, 28 SiD 3 F, 29 SiH 3 F, 29 SiD 3 F, 30 S…
Interpretation of the electronic absorption spectrum of free base porphin by using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory
1998
Abstract Multiconfigurational second-order perturbation (CASPT2) calculations have been performed on the low-lying optically allowed valence excited states of the free base porphin molecule in order to assign the four lowest bands of the spectrum. The low-lying triplet states have also been characterized. A basis set of the atomic natural orbital type of split-valence plus polarization quality for first-row atoms has been employed. Polarization functions are important for an accurate description of the transitions. These CASPT2 results provide a consistent picture of the experimental spectrum. Each band of the spectrum up to 4.5 eV is composed of a pair of states, which become degenerate in…
Comparison of the molecular structure and spectra of benzene and borazine
1970
Ab initio SCF MO and CI calculations for two different gaussian basis sets are carried out for the isoelectronic molecules benzene C6H6 and borazine B3N3H3 in order to investigate the effect of increasing the flexibility in the representation of their respective π systems. In the process it is found from comparison of orbital charge density contour diagrams and inner shell orbital energies of borazine with analogous data for other systems that the BN bonds of this compound are considerably less polar (B+N−) than that of ammonia borane BNH6 (B−N+). CI calculations employing the larger basis set produce generally better agreement with the experimental transition energies of benzene than do th…
Excited State N−H Tautomer Selectivity in the Singlet Energy Transfer of a Zinc(II)-Porphyrin-Truxene-Corrole Assembly
2017
International audience; An original corrole-containing polyad for S-1 energy transfer, in which one zinc(II)-porphyrin donor is linked to two free-base corrole acceptors by a truxene linker, is reported. This polyad exhibits a rapid zinc(II)-porphyrin*free-base corrole transfer (4.83x10(10)s(-1); 298K), even faster than the tautomerization in the excited state processes taking advantage of the good electronic communication provided by the truxene bridge. Importantly, the energy transfer process shows approximately 3-fold selectivity for one corrole N-H tautomer over the other even at low temperature (77K). This selectivity is due to the difference in the J-integral being effective in both t…
Metal Dependence on the Bidirectionality and Reversibility of the Singlet Energy Transfer in Artificial Special Pair-Containing Dyads
2017
International audience; The demetalation of a precursor dyad, 3, built upon a zinc(II)-containing artificial special pair and free-base antenna, leads to a new dyad, 4, for singlet energy transfer composed of cofacial free-base porphyrins (acceptor), [Fb](2) bridged by a 1,4-C6H4 group to a free-base antenna (donor), [Fb]. This dyad exhibits the general structure [M](2)-C6H4-[Fb], where [M](2) = [Fh](2), and completes a series reported earlier, where [M](2) = [Mg](2) (2) and [Zn](2) (3). The latter dyads exhibit a bidirectional energy-transfer process at 298 K for 2 and at 77 K for 3. Interestingly, a very scarce case of cycling process is observed for the zinc-containing dyad at 298 K. The…
