Single-chain conformations in symmetric binary polymer blends: Quantitative comparison between self-consistent field calculations and Monte Carlo sim…
1998
Single-chain properties in a symmetric binary polymer blend are studied by self-consistent field calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. Within the self-consistent field scheme, the statistical mechanics of a cluster of neighboring polymers is solved. Interactions among the polymers of a cluster and composition fluctuations within a cluster are incorporated exactly, a mean field approximation is invoked for intercluster interactions and long-range fluctuations. The results are compared to large scale Monte Carlo simulations for a broad range of chain lengths. While we find nearly quantitative agreement for single chain propertiese.g., the reduction of the chain dimensions of the minority …
Rotaxanes and Catenanes Derived from Tetra-Urea Calix[4]arenes
2010
Calix[ 4] arenes, substituted by four urea groups at their wide rim, form dimeric capsules in apolar solvents, which are held together by a seam of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The heterodimerisation of tetra-aryl and tetratosyl ureas was used to synthesize various derivatives, in which adjacent urea residues are connected to form two, three or four loops. The aliphatic connections were tied by olefin metathesis between adjacent alkenyl residues followed by hydrogenation. Heterodimers of tetra-alkenyl substituted tetra-ureas and bis- or tetraloop derivatives were converted analogously to multiple catenanes. Tetra[2]rotaxanes were obtained in a similar manner. In addition to the spectrosco…
Learning from nature: beta-sheet-mimicking copolymers get organized.
2007
The solution structures formed by coil-coil copolymers arise from the selective solvation of one of the two blocks and have been well described. In most cases in such relatively simple synthetic structures there are no specific attractive forces that can aid the aggregation process. Nature, however, provides plenty of inspiring polymeric architectures that are shaped and ordered hierarchically by noncovalent forces. The high level of structural definition displayed by proteins, for example, is unmatched by synthetic polymers. An emerging area of interest in polymer science tries to combine the best of both worlds, the natural and the synthetic, by conjugating synthetic polymers and beta-she…
Rovibrational structure of the Ar–CO complex based on a novel three-dimensional ab initio potential
2002
The first three-dimensional ab initio intermolecular potential energy surface of the Ar–CO van der Waals complex is calculated using the coupled cluster singles and doubles including connected triples model and the augmented correlation-consistent polarized valence quadruple zeta (aug-cc-pVQZ) basis set extended with a (3s3p2d1f1g) set of midbond functions. The three-dimensional surface is averaged over the three lowest vibrational states of CO. Rovibrational energies are calculated up to 50 cm−1 above the ground state, thus enabling comprehensive comparison between theory and available experimental data as well as providing detailed guidance for future spectroscopic investigations of highe…
Study of the benzene⋅N2 intermolecular potential-energy surface
2003
The intermolecular potential-energy surface pertaining to the interaction between benzene and N2 is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Accurate intermolecular interaction energies are evaluated for the benzene–N2 van der Waals complex using the coupled cluster singles and doubles including connected triples [CCSD(T)] method and the aug-cc-pVDZ basis set extended with a set of 3s3p2d1f1g midbond functions. After fitting the energies to an analytic function, the intermolecular Schrödinger equation is solved to yield energies, rotational constants, and Raman-scattering coefficients for the lowest intermolecular levels of several benzene–N2 isotopomers. Experimentally, intermolecula…
Computational and experimental investigation of intermolecular states and forces in the benzene-helium van der Waals complex
2003
A study of the intermolecular potential-energy surface (IPS) and the intermolecular states of the perprotonated and perdeuterated benzene–He complex is reported. From a fit to ab initio data computed within the coupled cluster singles and doubles including connected triples model for 280 interaction geometries, an analytic IPS including two- to four-body atom–atom terms is obtained. This IPS, and two other Lennard-Jones atom–atom surfaces from the literature, are each employed in dynamically exact (within the rigid-monomer approximation) calculations of J = 0 intermolecular states of the isotopomers. Rotational constants and Raman-scattering coefficients for intermolecular vibrational trans…

Synthesis and electronic aspects of tetrahydrobenzothienopyrimidine derivatives
2015
Abstract The chemistry of thiophenes, pyrimidines, triazolopyrimidines and benzothiophenes has drawn much attention because of their biological activities. Their interesting properties are connected with their complex π-electron delocalisation effects. Herein the synthesis, crystal and molecular structures at 100 K and DFT calculated structures of three tetrahydrobenzothienopyrimidine derivatives are reported i.e. 4-hydrazino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine which was a substrate for 2-phenyl-8,9,10,11-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine and 3-methyl-9,10,11,12-tetrahydro-2H-[1]benzothieno[2′,3′:4,5]pyrimido[1,6-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-one. Moreover t…
4-Benzoyl-3,4-dihydro-2 H -1,4-benzoxazine-2-carbonitrile: refinement using a multipolar atom model
2009
The structural model for the title compound, C(16)H(12)N(2)O(2), was refined using a multipolar atom model transferred from an experimental electron-density database. The refinement showed some improvements of crystallographic statistical indices when compared with a conventional spherical neutral-atom refinement. The title compound adopts a half-chair conformation. The amide N atom lies almost in the plane defined by the three neighbouring C atoms. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C-H...O and C-H...pi hydrogen bonds.
Amino Acid Chemistry in Solution: Structural Study and Vibrational Dynamics of Glutamine in Solution. An ab Initio Reaction Field Model
1998
The self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) theory was used to study structural and vibrational features of the amino acid L-glutamine in solution. Raman and infrared spectra of this molecule in solutions of H 2O and D2O were recorded and measured. The bands were firstly assigned on the basis of the isotopic shifts. An ab initio quadratic force field at the 6-31 +G* level was achieved. The calculation simulated a polar solvent by placing the molecule in an ellipsoidal cavity surrounded by a continuum dielectric. The theoretical results, in terms of structural parameters, vibrational frequencies and descriptions, and infrared intensities, were in satisfactory agreement with the experimental da…
