Theoretical calculation of the vibrational spectra of cis-cis-cyclooctadienes in the vapour phase.

2000

The theoretical infrared spectra of 1,3-cis-cis-cyclooctadiene (1,3-COD) and 1,5-cis-cis-cyclooctadiene (1,5-COD), were obtained by ab initio MO calculations at Hartree-Fock level. The results were compared with the available IR experimental spectra of 1,3- and 1,5-COD. The apparent agreement between theoretical and experimental data allows us to exploit two bands, found only in the case of the theoretical spectrum of 1,4-COD, as a tool for identifying 1,4-COD during its synthesis.

Aqueous coefficient calculations for chemicals and drugs

1999

Aqueous functional group activity coefficients (AQUAFAC) is a group‐contribution method for estimating the aqueous coefficients. We have written a program for the calculation of these coefficients. The solubility S w of alkanes shows variation of 8 orders of magnitude. The comparison with experiment shows that AQUAFAC gives good S w estimations. For 4'‐substituted acetanilides, I‐, Br‐, nitro‐, Cl‐, F‐ and methoxy‐substituents decrease S w, while formyl‐ and amino‐substituents increase S w. For acetaminophen esters, S w decreases from the acetate to the decanoate. The S w of 29 barbiturates shows typical errors of 0.4 log S w units. For the cyclo‐alkane‐l’,5‐spirobarbituric acids, S w decre…
