Why do Electron-Deficient Dienes React Rapidly in Diels?Alder Reactions with Electron-Deficient Ethylenes? A Density Functional Theory Analysis
2004
The Diels−Alder reaction of the electron-deficient (ED) dimethyl 2,3-dimethylenesuccinate with two electron-rich (ER) and two ED ethylenes has been studied at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. The analysis of the geometry and electronic structure of the transition state of the reaction with the ED dimethyl 2-methylenemalonate along with the analysis of the global and local electrophilicity indices of the reagents provide an explanation of the participation of this ED diene as nucleophile against powerful electrophiles in polar Diels−Alder reactions.

Reaction Mechanism of an Intramolecular Oxime Transfer Reaction: A Computational Study
2014
Density functional theory (PBE0/def2-TZVPP) calculations in conjunction with a polarizable continuum model were used to assess the mechanism of the intramolecular oxime transfer reaction that leads to the formation of isoxazolines. Different diastereomers of the intermediates as well as different oximes (formaldehyde and acetone oxime) were considered. The computed reaction profile predicts the water-addition and -expulsion steps as the highest barriers along the pathway, a conclusion that is in line with the experimental evidence obtained previously for these reactions.
DFT Theoretical Study on the Reaction Mechanism of the Nitrate Radical with Alkenes: 2-Butene, Isobutene, 2-Methyl-2-butene, and 2,3-Dimethyl-2-bute…

A general mechanism for the reactions of the NO3 radical with 2-butene, isobutene, 2-methyl-2-butene, and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene is proposed on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculati...

1999
The molecular mechanism for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of trifluoromethyl thiomethyl azomethine ylide with acronitrile has been characterized using density functional theory methods with the B3L...
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…
Evaluation of the factors affecting direct polarization solid state (31)P-NMR spectroscopy of bulk soils
2008
Summary 31 P-NMR spectroscopy on bulk soils is a powerful tool for the identification of the different phosphorus forms in soils and for the evaluation of the dynamics of soil P. Up to now the majority of the papers dealt with liquid state 31 P-NMR spectroscopy on soluble soil organic substances. Only few papers were addressed to the study of the different phosphorus forms directly in bulk soils. In the present paper, some organic and inorganic phosphates of known structures, which are likely to be present in soil systems, were studied by direct polarization (DP) magic angle spinning (MAS) 31 P-NMR spectroscopy in order to understand the electronic factors responsible for chemical shifts of…
Racemattrennung, Kristallstruktur und histaminartige Wirkung von 4-[1-(2-Aminoethylthio)ethyl]-5-methylimidazol
1983
Es wird die Racemattrennung von 4-[1-(2-Aminoethylthio)ethyl]-5-methylimidazol (1) mittels optisch aktiver Di-O-(p-toluoyl)weinsaure sowie die histaminartige Wirksamkeit der Enantiomeren beschrieben. Von (+)-1 · 2HCl · H2O wurde die Kristallstruktur bestimmt und bis zu einem R-Wert von 0.0483 verfeinert. Danach ist (+)-1R-konfiguriert. Von den beiden Enantiomeren besitzt nur (S)-(−)-1 H1-agonistische Aktivitat. Resolution, Crystal Structure, and Histamine-like Activity of 4-[1-(2-Aminoethylthio)ethyl]-5-methylimidazole The resolution of racemic 4-[1-(2-aminoethylthio)ethyl]-5-methylimidazole (1) using optically active Di-O-(P-toluoyl)tartaric acid as well as the histamine-like activity of t…
Gold assisted oxygen dissociation on a molybdenum-doped CaO(001) surface
2016
Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we address the adsorption of O2 and the coadsorption of gold species and oxygen molecules on a Mo-doped CaO(001) surface with 1.25% impurity concentration. With the help of the Born–Haber thermodynamic cycle, the enhanced binding of an oxygen molecule on Ca(Mo)O is attributed to energy gain owing to simultaneous electron transfer from the dopant to the molecule and lattice relaxations. We consider three coadsorption structures for an Au atom and O2 molecule with different Au–O2 distances. The calculations demonstrate that the coadsorption structures take one electron from the dopant and the O–Au–O chain structure is thermodynamically more …
l-Arabinose Conformers Adsorption on Ruthenium Surfaces: A DFT Study
2012
Adsorption of 5 L-arabinose tautomers – one acyclic and four cyclic (α and β, pyranose and furanose) species – on a ruthenium surface was studied as a precursor-process of the, nowadays more and more, industrially important sugar catalytic hydrogenation on metal surfaces in water medium. The study was mostly referred to a 37-atom metal catalyst fragment, even though border-effects on the adsorption processes were also checked employing a 61-atom metal fragment. In order to figure out conformational effects on the title process the tautomer flexibility was, at first, investigated by the genetic-algorithm based code Balloon, considering the conformational spaces of the different aquo tautomer…
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…
