A partial ultrafast ππ* → nπ* transfer is predicted. Many vibrational modes are activated, but oscillations of bonds and angles are quickly damped.

The reactivity of the dimethylchloronium ion with a series of aromatic hydrocarbons has been studied in a high pressure mass spectrometer ion source using the technique of reactant ion monitoring. Benzene is unreactive but all others, from toluene to mesitylene, react by CH3+ transfer to yield σ-bonded complexes. The relative rate of reaction increases with increasing exothermicity in line with current theories of nucleophilic displacement reactions.

Cyfluthrin is a synthetic cyano-containing pyrethroid insecticide that has both contact and stomach poison action. It is a nonsystemic chemical used to control cutworms, ants, silverfish, cockroaches, mosquitoes, tobacco budworm and many others. Its primary agricultural uses have been for control of chewing and sucking insects on crops such as cotton, turf, ornamentals, hops, cereal, corn, deciduous fruit, peanuts, potatoes, and other vegetables. Cyfluthrin is also used in public health situations and for structural pest control. The structural, vibrational, electronic and QSAR properties of the cyfluthrin molecule in gas phase have been investigated theoretically by performing molecular mechanics method by using MM+ force field, and semi-empirical molecular orbital AM1 and PM3 calculations. The geometry of the molecule has been optimized, infrared spectrum (vibrational modes and intensities) and the electronic properties of the molecule have been calculated in its ground state. According to PM3 calculation, heat of formation of cyfluthrin molecule is about -48.58 kcal/mol (exothermic), which shows that this molecule thermodynamically be stable. The HOMO energy level for this molecule is found to be -9.701 eV and the LUMO energy level is -0.660 eV giving rise to a gap of 9.041 eV, which also indicates that cyfluthrin is thermodynamically stable.

<div>Both the computation of, and the uncertainties associated, with gas-phase molar formation enthalpies are now quite well established for systems comprised of tens of ‘heavy’ atoms chosen from the commonest elements. The same cannot be said for derived thermochemical quantities such as entropy, heat capacity and an enthalpy function. Whilst the application of well known statistical thermodynamic relations is mostly understood, the determination of the uncertainty with which such values can be obtained has been little studied — apart, that is, for a general protocol devised by Goldsmith et al. [J. Phys. Chem. A, 2012, 116, 9033–9057]. Specific examples from that work are explored here and it is shown that their estimates are overly pessimistic. It is also evident that for some species the calculated thermochemical parameters show very little variation with either the level of theory, or basis set, or treatment of vibrational modes — this renders the inclusion of such species in databases designed to validate new methods of limited value.<br></div>

The spectrum of the dimer (NO)2 in the gas phase has been studied in the near infrared at temperatures between 118 and 138 K. More specifically, the measure of absorption intensity of the ν4 and ν1 + ν4 bands has yielded the heat of formation of the dimer, −2.25 kcal/mol at 128 K, and revealed the influence of the low vibrational modes on this measure. The observation of the ν4 – ν6, difference band has yielded the wave number value of the ν6, fundamental band, forbidden in the infrared. The rotational constants of the vibrationally excited state were found to be larger than the ground state rotational constants, this result being very unusual.

High resolution rotational Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy is suited to studies of numerous polar gas phase molecules, and particularly volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Analysis of the headspace gas of packed Salmon fillets indicates the degree of food spoilage.
