Gold/Isophorone Interaction Driven by Keto/Enol Tautomerization
2016
The binding behavior of isophorone (C9H14O) to Au adatoms and clusters deposited on MgO/Ag(001) thin films is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). The STM data reveal the formation of various metal/organic complexes, ranging from Au1/isophorone pairs to larger Au aggregates with molecules bound to their perimeter. DFT calculations find the energetically preferred keto-isophorone to be unreactive toward gold, while the enol-tautomer readily binds to Au monomers and clusters. The interaction is governed by electrostatic forces between the hydroxyl group of the enol and negative excess charges residing on the ad-gold. The activation barrier b…
Isotopic Effect on the Kinetics of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction
2007
In this work we present results about the deuterium isotope effect on the global kinetics of a Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in batch conditions. A nonlinear dependence of the Induction Period upon the percentage of deuterated reactants was found. The isotopic effect on the bromination reaction of malonic acid was evaluated.
Ab initioanalysis on metal ion catalysis in the enolization reactions of some acetylheterocycles: kinetics of the enolization reactions of 3-acetyl-5…
2002
Kinetic data on the enolization reaction of 3-acetyl-5-methylisoxazole, 5-acetyl-3-methylisoxazole, 3(5)-acetylpyrazole and some previously studied acetylheterocycles have been the object of a comprehensive ab initio analysis. Enolization rate constants were measured spectrophotometrically by the halogen trapping technique at 25 °C and ionic strength of 0.3 mol dm−3 in water, in acetate buffers, in dilute hydrochloric acid, in dilute sodium hydroxide and in the presence of some metal ion salts. In the spontaneous (water) and base (acetate) catalysed reactions the ketones investigated are generally more reactive than acetophenone, according to the electron-withdrawing effect of the heterocyc…
1H,13C and17O NMR study of substituted nitropyridines
1991
1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectra for 22 substituted nitropyridines were measured and their 1H NMR spectra were analysed. The most significant variations in the NMR parameters are found for isomeric hydroxy derivatives, owing to the possibility of keto–enol tautomerism. The prevalence of the keto form is observed in 2- and 4-hydroxy derivatives, while the 3-hydroxy derivative exists in its enol form. Among the three nuclei studied, 17O seems to be the best nucleus for probing the keto–enol tautomerism. No correlation is observed between the torsion angle of the nitro group and its 17O NMR chemical shift. Molecular mechanics calculations were performed to clarify the torsional energetics of the ni…
One-bond 1 J (15 N,H) coupling constants at sp2 -hybridized nitrogen of Schiff bases, enaminones and similar compounds: A theoretical study
2020
1 J(15 N,H) coupling constants for enaminones and NH-forms of intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded Schiff bases as model compounds for sp2 -hybridized nitrogen atoms are evaluated using density functional theory (DFT) to find the optimal functionals and basis sets. Ammonia is used as a test molecule and its one-bond coupling constant is compared with experiment. A methylamine Schiff base of a truncated molecule of gossypol is used for checking the performance of selected B3LYP, O3LYP, PBE, BHandH, and APFD density functionals and standard, modified, and dedicated basis sets for coupling constants. Both in vacuum and in chloroform, modeled by the simple continuum model of solvent, the modified b…
X-ray Single Crystal Structure, Tautomerism Aspect, DFT, NBO, and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis of a New Schiff Bases Based on 4-Amino-5-Indol-2-yl-1,2,…
2021
Four different new Schiff basses tethered indolyl-triazole-3-thione hybrid were designed and synthesized. X-ray single crystal structure, tautomerism, DFT, NBO and Hirshfeld analysis were explored. X-ray crystallographic investigations with the aid of Hirshfeld calculations were used to analyze the molecular packing of the studied systems. The H···H, H···C, S···H, Br···C, O···H, C···C and N···H interactions are the most important in the molecular packing of 3. In case of 4, the S···H, N···H, S···C and C···C contacts are the most significant. The results obtained from the DFT calculations indicated that the thione tautomer is energetically lower than the thiol one by 13.9545 and 13.7464 kcal…

Stereoelectronic Requirements for Optimal Hydrogen-Bond-Catalyzed Enolization
2011
Protein crystallographic analysis of the active sites of enolizing enzymes and structural analysis of hydrogen-bonded carbonyl compounds in small molecule crystal structures, complemented by quantum chemical calculations on related model enolization reactions, suggest a new stereoelectronic model that accounts for the observed out-of-plane orientation of hydrogen-bond donors (HBDs) in the oxyanion holes of enolizing enzymes. The computational results reveal that the lone-pair directionality of HBDs characteristic for hydrogen-bonded carbonyls is reduced upon enolization, and the enolate displays almost no directional preference for hydrogen bonding. Positioning the HBDs perpendicular to the…
Proton tautomerism in 2-nitramino-C-nitropyridine derivatives - Experimental and quantum chemical study
2019
Abstract The structures of 2-nitramino-3-nitropyridine and 2-nitramino-5-nitropyridine have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies. In the crystals, both compounds exist as the imino forms. The DFT calculations were performed in order to explore the amino-imino tautomerism of the studied compounds in the gas phase and the influence of solvent polarity on the tautomeric equilibrium. The Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity index (HOMA) and Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) calculated for the pyridine rings of the studied systems, demonstrated a noticeable decrease in aromaticity of the imino forms. This study showed also that the highe…
