    Notes: Abstract Recrystallization of the anthelmintic drug mebendazole from propionic acid yields a 1:1 molecular complex which crystallizes in the triclinic system space group $${P\bar 1}$$ , a = 5.928(2), b = 11.066(2), c = 14.337(6)Å, α = 94.89(3), β = 101.56(3), γ = 96.18(2)°, and Z = 2 complex units in the unit cell. An x-ray diffraction study revealed an R 2 2 (8) hydrogen bonding system in the complex, involving the unprotonated imidazole N and amide N–H function of the drug and the acid carboxylic group. Complex molecules form centrosymmetric dimers by intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonding involving the protonated imidazole N atom and the benzoyl O atom of the drug molecule.

    Notes: Abstract The title compound, Cu(glyglygly)Br·1·5H2O, crystallizes in the space group C2/c, with a = 21.468(7), b = 6.716(5), c = 16.166(6) Å, β = 98.39°, and Z = 8. The tripeptide is bonded to one Cu(II) ion through the nitrogen [Cu–N=1.97(1)Å] and oxygen [Cu–O=2.019(8)Å] atoms of the amino end glycine residue and to another Cu(II) through one oxygen atom [Cu–O=1.931(9)Å] of the terminal carboxyl group. This give rise to covalently bonded and infinite ···–Cu–tripeptide–Cu–··· chains. These chains are linked to one another by a network of H-bonds involving the water molecules and bromide ions. The Cu(II) ion is in a distorted tetragonal pyramidal coordination polyhedron. At the corner of the base of the pyramid are the terminal glycine nitrogen and oxygen atoms of one tripeptide, a carboxylic oxygen of another tripeptide and a bromide ion. The fivefold coordination is completed with a water molecule at the top of the pyramid [Cu–Ow=2.286(9)Å]. For all orientations of the applied magnetic field the single crystal EPR spectra display a single anisotropic exchange collapsed resonance without hyperfine structure. Its position was measured in three perpendicular planes and the crystal g-tensor evaluated from the data. This tensor is interpreted in terms of the contributing Cu(II) complexes in the unit cell to deduce the principal values g1 = 2.273, g2 = 2.050 and g3 = 2.131 for the molecular gyromagnetic tensor. We also discuss the magnitude of the exchange interaction between neighboring copper ions in the lattice on the basis of the features in the EPR spectra and the structural information.

    Notes: Abstract The title compound (LaC15H42N11O9S3) was prepared and characterized by means of X-ray, IR and Raman measurements. The crystals are orthorhombic: Pnma (No. 62), a = 21.117(2), b = 14.736(2), c = 10.082(1) Å, and Z = 4. The structure consists of polyhedra with a La(III) ion in the center of them and hexamethylene molecules, which link these polyhedra. Each La(III) ion coordinates seven molecules of water and two thiocyanate ions via nitrogen atoms. The IR and Raman spectra, which have been obtained and interpreted, are in good agreement with X-ray results.

    Notes: Abstract The cerium(IV) β-diketonate compounds [Ce(β-diket)4] [where β-diket = tmhd (2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dionate) 1, pmhd (1-phenyl-5-methylhexane-1,3-dionate) 2] were prepared by reacting cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate [CAN; Ce(NH4)2(NO3)6] with the respective Na(β-diket) compound in ethanol, and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group $$P \bar 1$$ with a = 12.472(4), b = 19.972(5), c = 21.436(3) Å, α = 97.05(7), β = 90.16(2), γ = 106.55(3)°, V = 5076(2) Å3, Z = 4, T = 150(2) K. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n. with a = 14.817(6), b = 17.123(6), c = 19.146(3) Å, β = 105.46(4)°, V = 4682(3) Å3, Z = 4, T = 150(2) K. Crystals of 1 contain two independent [Ce(tmhd)4] molecules, with four chelating tmhd ligands bonded to each metal in a distorted dodecahedral arrangement; the cerium atom in 2 is also bonded to four chelating pmhd ligands but in this case the coordination geometry is closer to square antiprism. Both complexes are air and moisture stable. Sublimation studies reveal that 1 sublimes almost quantitatively, while 2 is comparatively involatile.

    Notes: Abstract The crystal structure of benztropine mesylate has been determined. It is orthorhombic, Pbca, with a = 12. 885(8)Å, b = 32.012(9)Å, and c = 10.027(3) Å. It exhibits similar packing to that seen in the previously reported crystal structure of benztropine mesylate monhydrate. X-ray powder diffraction patterns have been used to identify the anhydrous and monohydrate forms. The dehydration of the monohydrate follows a first-order reaction mechanism with activation energy of 92(8) kJ mol−1.

    Notes: Abstract The x-ray crystal structure of the complex η2-PDOW(CO)4 (five-membered ring, PDO = 2, 2, 4, 7, 7-pentamethyl-3,6-dithiaoctane) is reported. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, [#14] with unit cell parameters a = 14.002(14) Å, b = 9.340(10) Å, c = 15.094(12) Å, β = 92.67(4)°, V = 1972(3) Å3; Z = 4. The arrangement of the ligands around the metal atom is distorted from octahedral geometry. Large C–O bond distances and short W–C bond distances of the carbonyl groups located at a trans position with respect to PDO is indicative of a trans influence. The W–S(1) and W–S(2) bond distances of 2.545(3) and 2.545(2) Å, respectively, are shorter than observed for closely related complexes.

    Notes: Abstract The disorder in the X-ray crystal structures of Ru3(CO)11(L), L=CN t Bu 1 and PMe3 3 has been re-examined. Crystallographic data for 1 at 100 K: C16H9NO11Ru3, space group P21/n, a=11.796(5), b=11.748(2), c=16.040(7) Å, β=109.81(3)°, Z=4, 6077 reflections, R=0.028.

The disorder present in 1 and 3 at room temperature disappears reversibly on cooling, showing that it is dynamic in origin. The ligator atoms of the isonitrile and phosphine ligands move by a maximum of ∼0.8 Å, indicating that the whole cluster does not rotate intact within the crystal lattice, but rather that the Ru3 triangle effectively oscillates within a relatively rigid ligand polyhedron. The crystal structure of Ru3(CO)9{P(OMe)3 3} 7, which crystallizes in triclinic (7-t) and monoclinic (7-m) modifications is also reported. Both modifications have two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, and both modifications display dynamic disorder in the metal framework. Crystalllographic data for 7-t at 173 K: C18H27O18P3Ru3, space group P-1, a=11.8085(18), b=15.915(2), c=17.350(3) Å, α=99.929(14), β=101.811(14), γ=90.630(12)°, Z=4, 11242 reflections, R=0.048.

    Notes: Abstract Fundamental aspects of electroless Ni–B, Co–B and Ni–Co–B alloys have been systematically examined. The composition, crystal structure and deposition rate of the alloys were determined as a function of the concentration of reducing agent (dimethylamineborane) and complexing agents (tartrate, citrate, malonate and succinic acid), bath pH and Ni2+/Co2+ ratio. Changes in the deposition rate and metallurgical features of the alloys induced by the change in plating parameters are discussed, based on electrochemical polarization data and the formation enthalpy of the nickel and cobalt borides.

    Notes: Abstract The preparation of N12-(7-chloro-4-quinolinyl)-N 1,N 1-diethyl-1,12-diaminododecane, AQ-40, was accomplished by a five-step process in 80% overall yield from 12-aminododecanoic acid and 4,7-dichloroquinoline. AQ-40 crystallizes as a monohydrate from reagent grade chloroform/ diethyl ether mixtures in the triclinc space group P-1 with a = 8.667(2), b = 8.9425(10), c = 17.217(3) Å, α = 99.34(1), β = 99.89(2), γ = 91.56(1)°, V = 1295.0 Å3 and Z = 2. The l2-(N 1,N 1-diethylamino)dodecyl side chain is in the fully extended conformation and the water molecule forms hydrogen bonds to the two tertiary nitrogen atoms as well as with the secondary amino group. The nitrogen of the secondary amino group bound to the four-position of the quinoline moiety is virtually planar. This together with the rather short C–N distance of 1.347(3) Å to the quinoline moiety suggests involvement of the lone pair on this nitrogen with the π system of the ring.

The structure was solved employing 1864 independent x-ray reflections with I〉2σ(I) by Patterson and difference Fourier techniques and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R = 0.036. The trans-[CO(NH3)4(NH2CH3)Cl](ClO4)2 molecule is on a crystallographic mirror plane. The cobalt ion is in an elongated octahedral coordination with four equatorial ammonia ligands [average Co–N distance equal to 1.966(2) Å], an axial methylamine [Co–N=1.965(3)Å], and an axial chlorine ion [Co–Cl=2.2771(9)Å]. Kinetic steric effects of the complex are interpreted in terms of structural results.

The structure shows a layer arrangement parallel to the $$\vec a$$ axis: planes of the [Bi2Cl10]4− bioctahedra alternate with planes of [NH3(CH2)2NH3]2+ dications. The [Bi2Cl10]4− bioctahedra are connected through O(W)–H··· Cl hydrogen bonds, so that infinite unidimensional chains of composition [Bi2Cl10(H2O)2] n 4n− are formed in the structure parallel to the $$\vec a$$ axis. These chains are themselves interconnected by means of the N–H···Cl bonds originating from the [NH3(CH2)2NH3]2+ entities, forming a three-dimensional network.

Sb(EDTA) entities are connected through carboxylate bridges to the calcium atoms resulting in layers parallel to the (101) plane. These layers are linked through a weak Sb···O bond (3.171 Å). Pyrolysis of this complex under sulfur vapor, between 400 and 800°C, leads to a mixture of the monometallic sulfides. Pyrolysis in air above 700°C allows the easy preparation of the mixed oxide CaSb2O6.

Cell parameters: a = 10.7070(2), b = 12.577(2), c = 13.239(3) Å, α = 84.00(2), β = 77.58(1), γ = 66.06(1)°, V = 1591.0(5) Å3, and Dcalc = 2.100 g cm−3 .The fully eclipsed conformation of the phospholyl rings with P···P secondary bonding of 3.353(1) Å is observed in 1 and a partially eclipsed conformation is found in 2. The 10 possible conformations of 1,1′-diphosphaferrocenes were described as the function of conformational parameter θ and observed geometry of the phospholyl rings.7 We suppose that the earlier conclusions concerning the destabilizing nature of 1,1′-diphosphaferrocene conformations with θ 〈 100° cannot be considered as general. The mode of W – P coordination, the structural changes of 1 by W(CO)5 coordination, the structural effect of phospholyl rings substitution by the –COOH group, and hydrogen bonds are analyzed.

At the pH of the solution used for the crystallization, the molecules of allyl-terguride are protonated at N(6). All bond distances and angles are in the expected ranges. In the asymmetric unit one hydroxide ion is present. Hydrogen bonds join molecules of allyl-terguride in pairs along the b axis, connecting O(2) of the hydroxide ion to O(1) of one molecule and to N(2) and N(6) of another.

    Notes: Abstract Gels were synthesized from solutions of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and aluminium nitrate (with and without manganese nitrate). The structural evolution of the gels as a function of manganese content and heat-treatment temperature was studied by visible spectrophotometry (VIS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the presence of manganese can induce mullitization at lower temperatures. However, the effect of manganese depends on its content and how it enters into the mullite structure.

    Notes: Abstract Earlier studies used Rost and Sander's artificial neural network [(1993a), J. Mol. Biol. 232, 584–599] to predict the secondary structures [Lebeda and Olson (1994), Proteins 20, 293–300] and residue solvent accessibilities [Lebeda and Olson (1997), J. Protein Chem. 16, 607–618] of the clostridial neurotoxins. Because the X-ray crystal structure of the 50-kDa C-terminal half of the heavy chain of tetanus toxin was recently determined, this report evaluates the accuracy of these network-derived predictions. For this predominantly β-strand-containing fragment, predictions, on a per-residue basis, for both secondary structure and solvent accessibility were about 70% accurate. A more flexible and realistic analysis based on overlapping segments yielded accuracies of over 80% for the three-state secondary structure and for the two-state accessibility predictions. Because the accuracies of these predictions are comparable to those made by Rost and Sander using a dataset of 126 nonhomologous globular proteins, our predictions provide a quantitative foundation for gauging the results when building by homology the structures of related proteins.

    Notes: Abstract Structural features that have important implications for the fundamental process of transmembrane proton transfer are examined in the recently published high resolution atomic structures of the reaction center (RC) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides in the dark adapted state (DQAQB) and the charged separated state (D+QAQB −); the latter is the active state for proton transfer to the semiquinone. The structures have been determined at 2.2 Å and 2.6 Å resolution, respectively, as reported by Stowell et al. (1997) [Science 276: 812–816]. Three possible proton transfer pathways (P1, P2, P3) consisting of water molecules and/or protonatable residues were identified which connect the QB binding region with the cytoplasmic exposed surface at Asp H224 & Asp M240 (P1), Tyr M3 (P2) and Asp M17 (P3). All three represent possible pathways for proton transfer into the RC. P1 contains an uninterrupted chain of water molecules. This path could, in addition, facilitate the exchange of quinone for quinol during the photocycle by allowing water to move into and out of the binding pocket. Located near these pathways is a cluster of electrostatically interacting acid residues (Asp-L213, Glu-H173, Asp-M17, Asp H124, Asp-L210 and Asp H170) each being within 4.5 Å of a neighboring carboxylic acid or a bridging water molecule. This cluster could serve as an internal ‘proton reservoir’ facilitating fast protonation of QB − that could occur at a rate greater than that attainable by proton uptake from solution.

    Notes: Abstract One of the challenging features of energy-transducing terminal oxidases, like the aa 3 cytochrome c oxidase of Paracoccus denitrificans, is the translocation of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane, which is coupled to the transfer of electrons to oxygen. As a prerequisite for a more advanced examination of the enzymatic properties, several amino acid residues, selected on the basis of recent three-dimensional structure determinations, were exchanged in subunit I of the Paracoccus enzyme by site-directed mutagenesis. The properties of the mutated oxidases were analyzed by different methods to elucidate whether they are involved in the coupled and coordinated transfer of protons via two different pathways either to the site of oxygen reduction or through the enzyme from the cytoplasm to the periplasmic side.

    Notes: Abstract The structural and superconducting properties of (Gd1−x−y Ca y M x )Ba2Cu3O z with M = Mo, Hf are investigated using X-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, and oxygen content measurements. The effect of increasing the Mo concentration in (Gd1−x Mo x )Ba2Cu3O z changes the structure from orthorhombic to tetragonal accompanied by a large increase in resistivity and a fast decrease in T c at the rate of 1.9 K per at.% of Mo, unlike that of Hf substitution in (Gd1−x Hf x )Ba2Cu3O z , which maintains the orthorhombic structure and decreases T c very slowly at the rate of 0.6 K per atm.% of Hf with nearly no change in resistivity. The suppression of T c by M = Mo, Hf can be counterbalanced by hole doping by Ca which increases T c with increasing Ca content showing maximum compensation for Mo. A comparative study of M = Mo, Hf doped samples in (Gd1−x−y Ca y M x )Ba2Cu3O z indicates that the valence of the dopant M = Mo4+,6+, Hf4+ and its ionic radius play an important role in controlling the structural and superconducting properties of the systems.

    Notes: The occurrence of large domain motions associated with the mechanism of action of many proteins is well established. We present a general method of predicting domain closure applicable to proteins containing domains separated by an apparent hinge. The method attempts to allow for natural directional bias within the closing protein by repeatedly applying a weak pulling force over a short distance between pairs of atoms chosen at random in the two domains in question. Appropriate parameters governing the pulling function were determined empirically. The method was applied to the bi-lobal protein PGK and a closed-form activated ternary complex generated for Bacillus stearothermophilus PGK. This model was compared with the recently determined crystal structure of closed-form Trypanosoma brucei PGK. The model predicts the correct hinge regions, although the magnitude of movement at one hinge point was overestimated, and provides a reasonable representation of the closed-form ternary complex.

    Notes: Crystal structures of turkey egg lysozyme (TEL) and human lysozyme (HL) were refined by full-matrix least-squares method using anisotropic temperature factors. The refinement converged at the conventional R-values of 0.104 (TEL) and 0.115 (HL) for reflections with Fo 〉 0 to the resolution of 1.12 Å and 1.15 Å, respectively. The estimated r.m.s. coordinate errors for protein atoms were 0.031 Å (TEL) and 0.034 Å (HL). The introduction of anisotropic temperature factors markedly reduced the R-value but did not significantly affect the main chain coordinates. The degree of anisotropy of atomic thermal motion has strong positive correlation with the square of distance from the molecular centroid. The ratio of the radial component of thermal ellipsoid to the r.m.s. magnitude of three principal components has negative correlation with the distance from the molecular centroid, suggesting the domination of libration rather than breathing motion. The TLS model was applied to elucidate the characteristics of the rigid-body motion. The TLS tensors were determined by the least-squares fit to observed temperature factors. The profile of the magnitude of reproduced temperature factors by the TLS method well fitted to that of observed Beqv. However, considerable disagreement was observed in the shape and orientation of thermal ellipsoid for atoms with large temperature factors, indicating the large contribution of local motion. The upper estimate of the external motion, 67% (TEL) and 61% (HL) of Beqv, was deduced from the plot of the magnitude of TLS tensors determined for main chain atoms which were grouped into shells according to the distance from the center of libration. In the external motion, the translational portion is predominant and the contribution of libration and screw motion is relatively small. The internal motion, estimated by subtracting the upper estimate of the external motion from the observed temperature factor, is very similar between TEL and HL in spite of the difference in 54 of 130 amino acid residues and in crystal packing, being suggested to reflect the intrinsic internal motion of chicken-type lysozymes.

    Notes: Earlier studies involving water-mediated transformations in lysozyme and ribonuclease A have shown that the overall movements in the protein molecule consequent to the reduction in the amount of surrounding water are similar to those that occur during enzyme action, thus highlighting the relationship among hydration, plasticity, and action of these enzymes. Monoclinic lysozyme retains its crystallinity even when the level of hydration is reduced further below that necessary for activity (about 0.2 gram of water per gram of protein). In order to gain insights into the role of water in the stability and the plasticity of the protein molecule and the geometrical basis for the loss of activity that accompanies dehydration, the crystal structures of monoclinic lysozyme with solvent contents of 17.6%, 16.9%, and 9.4% were determined and refined. A detailed comparison of these forms with the normally hydrated forms show that the C-terminal segment (residues 88-129) of domain I and the main loop (residues 65-73) in domain II exhibit large deviations in atomic positions when the solvent content is reduced, although the three-dimensional structure is essentially preserved. Many crucial water bridges between different regions of the molecule are conserved in spite of differences in detail, even when the level of hydration is reduced well below that required for activity. The loss of activity that accompany dehydration appears to be caused by the removal of functionally important water molecules from the active-site region and the reduction in the size of the substrate binding cleft.

    Notes: The rate data for the Menschutkin reaction between strongly activated Z-substituted benzyl p-toluenesulfonates and Y-substituted N,N-dimethylanilines in acetonitrile at 35 °C fit the equation, kobs  =  k1 + k2 [DMA], which is consistent with concurrent first- and second-order processes. The k1 and k2 values for each substrate were separated based on the above equation. The SN1 rate constant, k1, is unaffected by the nature of the nucleophile, whereas the SN2 rate constant, k2, increased with the electron-donating substituent of the N,N-dimethylaniline. The substituent effect on the k1 values is linearly correlated by the Yukawa-Tsuno equation with ρ  =  -5.2 and r  =  1.3. The unimolecular reaction can be regarded as a classical SN1 mechanism. In contrast, that on the k2 values shows an upward curvature when analyzed by the Brown σ+ treatment. These results are ascribed to the simultaneous and independent occurrence of SN1 and SN2 mechanisms in the present Menschutkin reaction. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Solution enthalpies of n-hexane, acetone, butan-2-one and octan-2-one in a series of tetrachloromethane-acetonitrile mixtures and the carbonyl stretching absorption frequencies in the IR spectra of these ketones were determined. It was found that over the whole range of concentrations (varying from neat tetrachloromethane up to neat acetonitrile) the solvation enthalpy of these compounds can be obtained additively from the contributions of the alkyl and carbonyl fragments. The solvent effect on the solvation enthalpy of the carbonyl group was found to be satisfactorily correlated with the corresponding IR frequency shifts of the C=O group. It was also found that the sensitivities of the carbonyl IR frequencies to the solvent composition are different for various ketones. From both IR and calorimetric data, the preferential solvation parameters were evaluated. The differences between the IR spectroscopic and calorimetric data are discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: In an effort to model solute-solvent interactions, the C=O stretching frequencies of five 1-substituted 2-pyrrolidinones and four other carbonyl-containing compounds were measured for 30 common solvents. These were then correlated with four empirical parameter sets and one theoretical (computational) parameter set. While an empirical parameter set gave the best correlation equations, the theoretical parameter equations are physically and statistically significant. Solvent volume, polarizability and hydrogen bond donor acidity (capacity) terms are significant in the correlation equations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The P - S bond cleavage process in the hydroperoxidolysis of a model system for the nerve agent VX was studied using ab initio and semiempirical molecular orbital methods. Aqueous solvation effects were included through single-point calculations using the semiempirical SM5.2PD/A continuum solvation model and geometries optimized at the HF/MIDI! level of theory. The predominant pathway for P - S bond cleavage involves pseudorotation of a low-energy trigonal bipyramidal intermediate followed by apical ligand ejection. In aqueous solution, the free energy barriers for these processes are found to be 14.3 and 4.6 kcal mol-1, respectively, with electronic energies calculated at the MP2/cc-pVDZ//HF/MIDI! level of theory. By comparison with another continuum model of solvation (PCM), it is concluded that the SM5.2PD/A model performs well even for hypervalent phosphorus species, in spite of not having included any such molecules in the model's parameterization set. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: N-Methyl-N-phenyl-tert-butylsulfenamide (MPSA) and morpholinyl-tert-butylsulfenamide (MOSA) were thermolyzed in a stirred-flow reactor at temperatures of 340-390 °C and pressures of 7-13 Torr, using toluene as carrier gas, at residence times of 0.3-1.3 s. Isobutene was formed in 99% yield through first-order reactions having the following Arrhenius parameters (A,s-1, Ea, kJ mol-1): MPSA, log A  =  12.41 ± 0.02, Ea  =  158.8 ± 0.2; MOSA, log A  =  12.91 ± 0.22, Ea  =  159 ± 3. It is proposed that the elimination of isobutene takes place by unimolecular reaction mechanisms involving polar, four-center cyclic transition states, forming S-unsubstituted thiohydroxylamines as co-products. Thermochemical parameters, estimated by semiempirical AM1 calculations, are reported for the latter and for the parent molecules. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Acidities and bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the N-H bond in two phenylsulfenylamides, PhSNHBz and PhSNH-t-Bu, and four phenylsulfenylanilides, 4-GC6H4NHSPh, where G  =  MeO, H, Br and CN, were measured in order to compare the effects of substituents on acidities and BDEs of N - H bonds with those of C - H bonds. The effects of PhS groups on acidities and BDEs in a series of C - H acids were found to be comparable to those on acidities and BDEs of PhS in a similar series of N - H acids. Comparisons were also made of the effects of changing the oxidation state of sulfur in the series PhS, PhSO and PhSO2 on the acidities and BDEs of adjacent N - H and C - H bonds in weak acids. Hammett-type plots of pKHA values for phenyl benzyl sulfones (4-GC6H4CH2SO2Ph) and phenylsulfenylanilides (4-GC6H4NHSPh) were linear vs σp- values.

    Notes: The prototropic tautomerism of 8-azaadenine (azaade) was studied theoretically by means of ab initio methods, in both the gas phase and aqueous solution. A number of tautomeric forms were not included in the calculations after applying a stepwise elimination procedure based on both AM1 and HF/6-31G* energy values. The tautomers 9H-azaade, 8H-azaade and 7H-azaade survived to this elimination and their optimized geometries and energies were calculated at the MP2/6-31*//HF/6-31G* level. To include the solvent effects, two self-consistent reaction field method were used: (1) Onsager's SCRF with multipolar expansion up to the hexadecapolar term and (2) the isodensity polarizable continuum method (IPCM). Both methods produce similar results, although the latter represents better the situation in aqueous solution. The stability order in solution, 8H- 〉 9H- 〉 7H-azaade, differs slightly from that found in the gas phase, implying that in general the electrostatic effects in solution are important, but the intrinsic stability of these species in the gas phase overcomes the solvent effect. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Cyclic voltamograms of the solvatochromic dye 5-nitro-5′-dimethylamino-2,2′-bisthiophene (1), introduced recently as a sensitive π* probe, were recorded in different solvents. An EPR spectrum of the anionic radical of 1 in DMSO was obtained and compared with other spectra of analogous substituted bisthiophene radicals. It was found that the presence of a donor- acceptor pair of substituents in 1-⋅ reduces significantly the rotational barrier of the radical compared with the unsubstituted bithienyl radical anion 2-⋅. This is the result of an electronic repulsion between the donor ring fragment and the added electron in the coplanar radical, which does not exist in 2-⋅. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography [LiChrosorb RP-18,UV detection at 254 nm and acetonitrile-water (86:14,v/v) as mobile phase] was applied to studies of the host-guest complexation of tetraalkylcalix[4]resorcinareneoctols and their upper rim phosphoryl, sulfonyl and dialkylaminomethyl derivatives with some aromatic guests in the mobile phase. It was shown that the formation of the inclusion complexes results in changes in the retention of aromatic guests and improves their separation. Stability constants of the complexes were calculated from the dependences of the l/k′ values of the aromatic guest on the concentration of the calix[4]resorcinarene in the mobile phase. The molecular structure of 4,6,16,18-tetrahydroxy-10,12,22,24-tetrakis(dipropoxyphosphoryloxy)-2,8,14,20-tetramethylcalix[4]resorcinarene (12) was determined. Crystal data for 12 are P21/n, a  =  16.708(9) Å, b  =  18.683(6) Å, c  =  20.243(5) Å, β  =  95.75(3)°, V  =  6287(4) Å3 and Z  =  4. Compound 12 exists in a boat conformation, in which two opposite unsubstituted resorcinol rings of the macrocyclic skeleton lie in the plane formed by four methine bridges and two diphosphorylated rings are perpendicular to the plane. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The boronic acid functional group has been incorporated into various biologically important compounds. In order to study this class of compounds better with molecular mechanics, five alkyl- and arylboronic acids were calculated using ab initio methods (Spartan) at the RHF/6-31G* level. MM3 force field parameters were developed based on the theoretically calculated geometries, vibrational spectra, and torsional profiles. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Rate coefficients were measured for the base-catalysed hydrolysis of a series of substituted 3-(phenoxy- or thiophenoxymethylene)-(Z)-1(3H)-isobenzfuranones (3-phenoxy- or thiophenoxymethylenephthalides) in 70% (v/v) aqueous dioxane at 30.0 °C, in addition to the carbonyl stretching frequencies in chloroform and tetrachloromethane following deconvolution and band separation, when required. The Hammett reaction constants for the alkaline hydrolysis of the 3-/4-substituted phenoxy and thiophenoxy series are ca 0.75 and 1.10, respectively. These results are related to electrostatic field and resonance effects. Successful correlations between the carbonyl stretching frequencies and substituent constants and the rates of alkaline hydrolysis were found. Computational studies using the semi-empirical AM1 method correctly model both the details of the mechanistic pathway and the substituent effects. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A new model of the inductive effect is proposed, allowing highly accurate theoretical calculations of inductive constants for a diversity of substituents, using a simple and readily available system of mathematics. According to this approach, the inductive effect of a substituent is considered in terms of the additive influence of its constituent atoms. A constant inherent capacity for inductive interaction with a reactive center (with a four-coordinate carbon atom chosen for such a center), represented by an atomic constant σA, is ascribed to each atom. Values of σA for a wide variety of atoms are determined, and their physical meaning is revealed to elucidate to a certain extent the physical nature of the inductive effect. In addition, the proposed model permits the convenient use in calculations of group constants σG characterizing the inductive power of groups. Values of σG are determined for molecular fragments that are most widely dealt with in organic chemistry, and the use of σA or σG constants and of their superposition is shown to have, in most cases, little or no effect on the accuracy and reproducibility of the results obtained. It is also shown that, in terms of the developed approach, the inductive effect of a substituent is closely associated with its conformation. Theoretical inductive constants were calculated for 427 organic, aromatic, organometallic and charged substituents, and they showed perfect correlation with the corresponding experimental values. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The kinetics of the oxidation of mandelic acid (MA) by permanganate in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 were studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction shows first-order kinetics in [permanganate ion] and fractional order dependences in [MA] and [alkali]. Addition of products, manganate and aldehyde have no significant effect on the reaction rate. An increase in ionic strength and a decrease in dielectric constant of the medium increase the rate. The oxidation process in alkaline medium under the conditions employed in the present investigation proceeds first by formation of an alkali permanganate complex, which combines with mandelic acid to form another complex. The latter decomposes slowly followed by a fast reaction between the free radical of mandelic acid and another molecule of permanganate to give products. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were derived. There is good agreement between the observed and calculated rate constants under different experimental conditions. The reaction was studied at different temperatures and activation parameters were computed with respect to the slow step of the proposed mechanism. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Photo-reactions of tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (1) with benzene (2a) and substituted benzenes (2b-f) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) gave 2-(2-, 3- and 4-substituted anilino)pyrimidines (3-5) together with 2-aminopyridine (6) and biphenyl (7) or diarylmethanes (8b, 8c and 8e). From the effect of heavy-atom solvent on the reactions, it is reasonable to assume that 3-5 are formed via a singlet species, but 6-8 via a triplet species. The intermediacy of 2-pyrimidylnitrenium ion is consistent with the evidence derived by the above effect, by a Hammett plot with ρ = -2.9 and by effects of solvent nucleophilicity and counter-anions. The selective exocyclic N-arylation giving 3-5 is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Photo-induced electron donor-acceptor reactions between 1-cyanonaphthalene (CNN) and norbornadiene (N) generate products of several structure types. Methanol adducts (1-3) formed in polar solvents are rationalized via the radical cation, N+·, and stereospecific (exo-) nucleophilic attack by methanol. In less polar solvents, CNN and N form [2 + 2]-cycloadducts, exclusively on the exo-face of N. In non-polar solvents containing methanol, CNN, N and methanol combine to form 1:1:1 adducts, containing the sensitizer on the endo- and the methoxy groups on the exo-face. The formation of these products is rationalized via the trapping of encounter complexes of different geometries. Any rearrangement of the norbornenyl system can be eliminated, since neither tricyclyl nor 7-methoxynorbornenyl structures are formed. Apparently, the alcohol captures an endo-encounter complex of CNN and N by attack from the exo-face, similar to the attack of methanol on N+·. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Semiempirical, ab initio and DFT investigations on the mechanism of the Diels-Alder reactions of a set of masked dienes (ring-fused dienes), viz. o-quinodimethane, anthracene and α-vinylnaphthalene, with ethylene, and reactions of α-vinylnaphthalene with maleic anhydride and p-benzoquinone were performed with a view to understanding the role of masking factors on the activation and reaction energies. The reactions were found to occur in a concerted fashion through synchronous transition states (TSs) in the first two reactions and through asynchronous TS in the other case. Of the compounds studied, o-quinodimethane is the most reactive diene both in a kinetic and a thermodynamic sense. α-Vinylnaphthalene reacts faster with maleic anhydride than p-benzoquinone, as expected, and two possible stereoselective TSs, one endo and the other exo, have been located for the reactions of α-vinylnaphthalene with the above dienophiles. Calculations show that the relative gain or loss of aromatic stabilization of the benzonoid ring in the transition state and in the product seems to play a major role in the kinetic and thermodynamic control of these reactions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Infrared spectra of all isomers of polymethyl-substituted benzoic acids were recorded in the carbonyl and hydroxyl regions in tetrachloromethane at various concentrations and interpreted in terms of conformation. According to a plot of ν(C=O) of the monomeric form vs Hammett substituent constants σ, these compounds may be classified into two classes. Derivatives with none or only one methyl group in the ortho position are concluded to exist in an equilibrium of two planar conformations, unless the equilibrium is degenerate. Derivatives with two ortho-situated methyl groups are concluded to take up one non-planar conformation. These findings are supported by the shape of the hydroxyl and carbonyl bands, which are unsymmetrical in the former class, although they could not be reliably separated into bands pertinent to the individual conformers. This conclusion is at variance with the common interpretation which has invariably ascribed to these and similar ortho derivatives non-planar conformations with a variable torsional angle. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Barrier heights for P - C bond homolysis in P-hydroxy-P-methyl-P,P-dioxophosphoranyl and P,P,P-trihydroxy-P-methylphosphoranyl were calculated using well correlated levels of electronic structure theory. The best estimate for the difference in barriers between the two indicates that homolysis is more facile for P,P,P-trihydroxy-P-methylphosphoranyl by roughly 9 kcal mol-1. This result suggests that bacterial pathways leading to P - C bond cleavage in organophosphonate derivatives will preferentially proceed via initial one-electron reduction of substrates rather than oxidation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The peculiarities of [8+2] cycloaddition reactions of indolizines with dienophiles are reviewed. Quantum chemical SINDO1, AM1 and ab initio calculations of transition states were performed for [8+2] cycloaddition reactions of indolizine and 6-nitroindolizine with a series of alkenes with donor and acceptor groups. The calculations predict a dipolar cycloaddition mechanism (electrophilic addition and ring closure) for reactions of indolizine and 6-nitroindolizine with nitroethylene. For the reaction of 6-nitroindolizine with N,N-dimethylaminoethylene, the predicted mechanism corresponds to a previously unknown ‘inverse’ dipolar cycloaddition (nucleophilic addition and ring closure). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Gas-phase nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-benzyl chlorides with X-phenoxide and X-thiophenoxide nucleophiles were investigated theoretically using the PM3 semi-empirical MO method. The Leffler-Grunwald rate-equilibrium and Brønsted correlations predict that the degree of bond formation in the transition state (TS) is approximately 45 and 40% on the reaction coordinate for the phenoxides and thiophenoxides, respectively. For a weaker nucleophile, a later TS is obtained with an increased bond making and breaking. The variation of the TS structure with substituents in the nucleophile is thermodynamically controlled and is well correlated by rate-equilibrium relationships. In contrast, the TS variation (a tighter TS) with substituent (for a stronger acceptor Y) in the substrate is dependent only on variations of the intrinsic barrier and so cannot be correlated by such thermodynamically based rate-equilibrium relationships. The gas phase ρX and ρY values are much greater in magnitude than those in solution. A similar gas-phase theoretical cross-interaction constant, ρXY (ca -0.60), is obtained for both phenoxides and thiophenoxides, which is in good agreement with the experimental value (-0.62) for the thiophenoxide reactions in MeOH at 20.0 °C. The oxy and sulfur anion bases lead to a similar TS structure, but a lower reactivity for the former is due to a greater endothermicity of the reaction. A relatively wide range variation of the reaction energies, ΔG°, can be ascribed to the loss of resonance stabilization of anion nucleophiles upon product formation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Rate constants of solvolysis of α-tert-butyl(2-naphthyl)methyl chloride (1), 9-fluorenyl chloride (2) and a series of monosubstituted benzhydryl chlorides (3) in a wide range of solvents were measured. Grunwald-Winstein-type correlation analysis of log k for 2 and 3 against YBnCl, with or without nucleophilicity N, yielded less satisfactory linear correlations than that against log k(1). A new scale of solvent ionizing power, YxBnCl, for the correlation of solvolytic reactivities of benzylic chlorides with extended charge delocalization based on log k(1) was developed. Application to the mechanistic study suggested the solvolysis of 2 and 4-nitrobenzhydryl chloride were non-limiting. Hammett plots against σ+ constants exhibited more negative ρ values in less nucleophilic solvents. In a benzhydryl chloride containing a strong deactivating substituent, such as 4-nitro, the positive charge delocalizes mainly over the unsubstituted ring in the cationic transition state. The uneven charge distribution was also confirmed by Mulliken population analysis at the level of the RHF/6-31G*//RHF/3-21G(*) basis set for cations. Comparison of the results of correlation analysis using the equation log(k/k0) = mY vs the equation log(k/k0) = mY+hI, and using the equation log(k/k0) = mY+lN vs the equation log(k/k0) = mY+lN+hI indicated the use of YBnCl or YxBnCl could give a better understanding of solvolytic mechanisms than the combinatorial use of YCl and I. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The UHF-SCF-AM1 MO method was applied to the study of two kinds of pyrolysis reactions of six nitro derivatives of phenols (homolysis reaction by rupture of the C - NO2 bond into radicals and isomerization reaction involving phenolic hydrogen transferring to oxygen on the NO2 group). The molecular geometries of reactants, transition states and products were fully optimized. The potential energy curves and activation energies were first obtained. The results show that this category of compounds is more easily initiated via isomerization reactions than by homolysis reactions. The parallel relationship among the Wiberg bond order of the pyrolysis-initiation H - O bond in the molecule of a reactant, the activation energy of the isomerization reaction breaking the H - O bond and impact sensitivity of the reactant gives ‘the principle of the smallest bond order’ (PSBO) powerful support. The sensitizing effect of a phenol group was elucidated based on calculation results. The different influences of OH and NO2 groups on the heat of formation of a molecule are discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Phthalic anhydride was detected spectrophotometrically in the hydrolysis of o-carboxybenzohydroxamic acid (OCBA) in CH3CN-H2O solvent containing 0.03 mol dm-3 HCl. Pseudo-first-order rate constants (k1) for hydrolysis of OCBA are almost independent of the change in CH3CN content from 10 to 80% (v/v) in mixed aqueous solvents. The rate constants k1 are more than 10-fold larger than the corresponding rate constants for hydrolysis of phthalamic acid. These observations are explained in terms of a mechanism slightly different from the mechanism for hydrolysis of phthalamic acid. The activation parameters, ΔH* and ΔS*, are not affected appreciably by an increase in CH3CN content from 10 to 80% in mixed aqueous solvents. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A preferential solvation model that takes into account the enhancement of the structure of water when small amounts of alcohol are added was applied to solvatochromic data for binary mixtures of water with 2-methylpropan-2-ol, propan-2-ol, ethanol and methanol. Application of the model allows the calculation of the effect of the enhancement of the water structure on solvatochromic solvent properties. It is demonstrated that the enhancement of water structure increases the solvent dipolarity/polarizability and hydrogen-bond donor acidity and decreases the solvent hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity. The effect decreases in the order 2-methylpropan-2-ol-water, propan-2-ol-water, ethanol-water and methanol-water. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The coordination of a resonance-stabilized hydrocarbon cation and anion yielded a series of unprecedented hydrocarbons, which are susceptible to thermal heterolytic cleavage of carbon-carbon σ bonds in polar media, generating the original ions under reversible conditions. When the component ions were sufficiently stabilized, some ion pairs were even isolated as solids, thus providing the first examples of hydrocarbon salts. The direct observation of the heterolysis by means of spectroscopy permitted reliable thermodynamic treatments of the observed degree of ionic dissociation. Correlation of the free energy of heterolysis with solvent dielectric constants and parameters of ion stabilities such as pKHA, pKR+ and redox potentials revealed the importance of the thermodynamic stabilities of ions, the degree of solvation and steric congestion in the starting molecule as major controlling factors in the heterolysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Solvolyses of the N,N-diphenylcarbamoylpyridinium ion are subject to specific and/or general base catalysis, which can be eliminated by addition of perchloric acid or increased, especially in fluoroalcohol-containing solvents, by addition of pyridine. The uncatalyzed solvolyses in aqueous methanol and aqueous ethanol involve a weakly nucleophilically assisted (l  =  0.22) heterolysis and the solvolyses in the pure alcohols are anomalously slow. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The effects of micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr), tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTABr), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyoxyethylene 10 lauryl ether (C12E10) on the rates of alkaline hydrolysis of securinine were studied at a constant [-OH] (0.05 M). An increase in the total concentrations of CTABr, TTABr, SDS and C12E10 from 0.0 to 0.2 M causes a decrease in the observed pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) by factors of ca 2.5, 3, 7 and 4, respectively. The observed data are explained in terms of pseudophase and pseudophase ion-exchange (PIE) models of micelle. The binding constants, KS, of securinine with SDS, C12E10, CTABr and TTABr micelles are 32.4, 14.8, 22.1, and 9.1 M-1, respectively. The magnitudes of the second-order rate constants, kM, for the reactions in the micellar pseudophase are negligible compared with the corresponding rate constant, kW, for the reaction occurring in the aqueous pseudophase for CTABr, TTABr, SDS and C12E10. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: 2-Methylindole (2-MI) is adsorbed on the surface of colloidal CdS particles with an adsorption intensity of 0.6 × 103 dm3 mol-1. A new emission band at 530 nm is produced by forming an exciplex between excited CdS and 2-MI and the red emission due to CdS is simultaneously quenched. The emission maxima of green bands for different indoles increase in the order indole 〈 tryptophan 〈 2-MI 〈 3-MI and are observed at 508, 520, 530 and 540 nm, respectively. The shift in emission maxima is related to the oxidation potential of these substrates. The irradiation of an aerated reaction mixture containing CdS and 2-MI with visible light induces the oxidation of adsorbed 2-MI by photogenerated holes to produce 2-methyl-3-indolinone and 2-acetamidobenzaldehyde. The latter product is formed due to oxidative C - C bond cleavage of the pyrrole ring. The reactivity of trapped holes towards the adsorbed 2-MI is evidenced by a decrease in the lifetime of the red emission of CdS in the presence of 2-MI. In this reaction the possibility of the participation of singlet oxygen is ruled out. A general mechanism of CdS-induced oxidation of indoles is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Transition metal-catalyzed decomposition of phenyliodonium and diphenylsulfonium ylides was investigated with regard to application in asymmetric carbenoid reactions. Phenyliodonium ylides react in the presence of Rh(II) catalysts with the same selectivity in inter- and intramolecular cyclopropanations as the corresponding diazo compounds, and intramolecular CH insertions proceed with identical enantioselectivities. With diphenylsulfonium ethoxycarbonylmethylide the Cu(I)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of olefins affords trans/cis ratios and asymmetric inductions identical with those of diazo compounds, but with Rh(II) catalysts some small, although significant, selectivity variations occur, which are ascribed to coordination of diphenyl sulfide to one of the coordination sites of the catalyst. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Hydrogens located at activated positions in electrophilic arenes, e.g. ortho and para hydrogens in nitrobenzenes, can be replaced with a nucleophile moiety provided there is at least one nucleofuge X connected to the nucleophilic centre. As the group really leaving in this hydrogen substitution process is not the hydride anion but X, the reaction has been named vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (VNS). The concepts on the mechanism of the reaction and their experimental background are presented. Reactivity and orientation - the fundamental questions concerning synthetical applications of VNS - are discussed in light of the supposed mechanistic picture.

    Notes: An essential feature of the concept of aromaticity has been the stability and lack of reactivity of aromatics relative to that of other unsaturated compounds. Contrary to this general experience, high and unusual reactivity is encountered when simple, monocyclic benzene rings are bent by short bridges into a boat-shaped conformation, as is the case in small [n] paracyclophanes (n ≤ 8) and [n]metacyclophanes (n ≤ 7). This is illustrated, mostly with examples taken from the authors' own work, for thermal and photochemical behavior and reactions with electrophiles, nucleophiles and dienophiles. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This review also spells out, at a time when creative research is overshadowed by imitative research, some of the methodological musts that also happen to characterize physical organic chemistry: the devising of experiments so that accurate numerical data can be obtained; the importance of remote, interdisciplinary connections; the need for estrangement from stereotypic preconceptions that may obscure the true explanations for the phenomena; and the over-riding need for concerning oneself only, or at least predominantly, with the important facts that nature tells, if one cares to listen. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The advantage of adding more structure-diagnostic information to the simple detection of flash photolytically generated transient species by changes in UV-visible light absorbance is illustrated by a case study involving the mandelic acid keto-enol system. An early report based on preliminary evidence proposed that flash photolysis of phenyldiazoacetic acid produces the enol of mandelic acid by hydration of phenylhydroxyketene, itself generated by a photo-Wolff reaction of the diazo acid. Further examination, however, shows that this is only a minor route, and that the major pathway is a new enol-forming reaction involving what appears to be hydration of a carboxycarbene formed by dediazotization of the diazo compound. Hydration of phenylhydroxyketene is nevertheless the reaction by which mandelic acid enol is generated when esters of benzoylformic acid are the flash photolysis substrates. These mechanisms, and also identification of the enol as a tranisent species, are supported by detailed arguments involving acid-base catalysis, solvent isotope effects, and the use of oxygen-18 as a tracer. The work produces a keto-enol equilibrium constant for the mandelic acid system, pKE  =  16.19, and also acidity constants of the enol ionizing as an oxygen acid, pKEa  =  6.39, and the keto isomer ionizing as a carbon acid, pKKa  =  22.57. The bearing of these results on the enzyme-catalyzed racemization of mandelic acid is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A new way of analyzing measured or calculated vibrational spectra in terms of internal vibrational modes associated with the internal parameters used to describe geometry and conformation of a molecule is described. The internal modes are determined by solving the Euler-Lagrange equations for molecular fragments φn described by internal parameters ζn. An internal mode is localized in a molecular fragment by describing the rest of the molecule as a collection of massless points that just define molecular geometry. Alternatively, one can consider the new fragment motions as motions that are obtained after relaxing all parts of the vibrating molecule but the fragment under consideration. Because of this property, the internal modes are called adiabatic internal modes, and the associated force constants ka, adiabatic force constants. Minimization of the kinetic energy of the vibrating fragment φn yields the adiabatic mass ma (corresponding to 1/Gnn of Wilson's G matrix) and, by this, adiabatic frequencies ωa. Adiabatic modes are perfectly suited to analyze and understand the vibrational spectra of a molecule in terms of internal parameter modes in the same way as one understands molecular geometry in terms of internal coordinates.   © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We explore the viability of a time-independent quantum adiabatic switching algorithm in the Fourier grid Hamiltonian (FGH) framework in the presence of degeneracy, avoided crossing, and chaos. The algorithm is simple and cost effective and provides information about the full eigenspectrum of the evolving Hamiltonian. It is shown to be capable of capturing accurately the change in the pattern of level spacing distribution statistics as one switches from a nonchaotic region of parameter values into the chaotic region. The Transition turns out to be less sharp than anticipated.   © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 67: 133-141, 1998

    Notes: The adsorptive properties of cyanide (CN-) on coinage metal (M) electrodes (M=Cu, Ag, Au) have been investigated using a relativistic density functional method. The way to model the electrochemical potential applied to the electrodes is to consider the systems in the presence of a perturbative external field F. The field-perturbative approach is proven to be a suitable method in interpreting the observed spectral shifts with electrode potential. The calculated potential-dependent shifts of ωM(SINGLE BOND)CN and ωC(SINGLE BOND)M are similar for the three metals, in agreement with experiment observations. The relativistic effects are required to account for the similarity in the frequency shifts of ωM(SINGLE BOND)CN. The calculated vibrational tuning rates dωC(SINGLE BOND)N/dF are 6.61×10-7, 6.61×10-7, and 5.64×10-7 cm-1/(V/cm) for M=Cu, Ag, and Au, respectively. The coupling of the M(SINGLE BOND)CN and C(SINGLE BOND)N internal modes contributes significantly (about 25%) to the size of the frequency shifts ΔωC(SINGLE BOND)N of the ligand. The effect of electric fields on the metal(SINGLE BOND)CN- bonding is also investigated. It is shown that changes in the magnitude of CN- to the metal donation and M(SINGLE BOND)CN bond strength occur under the influence of the electric field.   © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The impact of the choice of molecular orbital sets on the results of single-reference-state coupled-cluster (CC) methods was studied for the H4 model. This model offers a straightforward way of taking into account all possible symmetry-adapted orbitals. Moreover, the degree of quasi-degeneracy of its ground state can be varied over a wide range by changing its geometry. The CCD, CCSD, and CCSDT approaches are considered. Surfaces representing the dependence of the energy on the parameters defining the orbitals are obtained. It is documented that for every method there exist alternative orbital sets which allow one to obtain more accurate energies than the standard (HF, BO, and NO) ones. However, for many of the former orbital sets, one obtains relatively large one-body amplitudes or one may encounter problems with solving the CC equations by conventional methods. An interesting variety of orbitals which might be useful for studies of quasi-degenerate states by the CCD method was found.   © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 67: 205-219, 1998

    Notes: Model studies of the impact of the choice of molecular orbital sets on the accuracy of the results of the state-universal coupled-cluster method involving one- and two-body excitations (SU-CCSD) were performed for the H4 model, which offers a straightforward way of representing any symmetry-adapted orbitals as well as the possibility of varying over a wide range the degree of quasi-degeneracy of a state. Energies of the three lowest 1A1 states obtained for 13 sets of standard quantum chemical orbitals as well as for a vast variety of nonstandard orbital sets defined by nodes of a two-dimensional grid are compared. It is shown that there exist nonstandard orbital sets that allow one to obtain more accurate energies than the standard orbital sets. It is also demonstrated that the recently defined [K. Jankowski et al., Int. J. Quantum Chem. 67, 221 (1998)] maximum proximity orbitals (MPO) yield more accurate results than any other of the commonly applied orbital sets. These orbitals are especially effective outside the strong-quasi-degeneracy region.   © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 67: 239-250, 1998
