Molecular geometries of 1,4-dihydropyridines Ia, Ib and their possible photoisomers IIa - Va and IIb - Vb were optimized by the PM3 method. The electronic absorption spectra were calculated by the CNDO/S-CI procedure and compared with the experimental spectroscopic data. A probable mechanism of the photocolouration of Ia, Ib, caused by sunlight or UV illumination, is proposed, and structures IIIa, IIIb are assigned to violet or green coloured species.

Molecular geometries of 4H-thiopyrans Ia, Ib and their possible photoisomers IVa - VIIa and IVb - VIIb were optimized by the AM1 and PM3 method and used for the calculation of electronic absorption spectra by the CNDO/S-CI procedure. Comparison of the theoretical data with experimental UV-VIS absorption spectra made it possible to postulate two probable mechanisms of the photocolouration of Ia, Ib caused by sunlight or UV-illumination.

ABSTRACT Isolated MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 molecules are shown here to exhibit bright infrared (IR) features that fall close to unattributed astronomical lines observed toward objects known to possess crystalline enstatite and forsterite, minerals of the same respective empirical formulae. These molecules are therefore tantalizing candidates for explaining the origin of such features. Furthermore, the C2v monomer minima of each formula set have dipole moments on the order of 10.0 D or larger making them desirable candidates for radioastronomical observation as enabled through rotational spectroscopic data further provided in this high-level CCSD(T)-F12/cc-pVTZ-F12 quantum chemical study. Astrophysical detection of these molecules could inform the build-up pathways for creating nanocrystals from small molecules in protoplanetary discs or could show the opposite in explaining the destruction of enstatite and forsterite minerals in supernovae events or other high-energy stellar processes. This work also shows that the lowest energy isomers for molecules containing the geologically necessary elements Mg and Si have oxygen bonded between any of the other heavier elements making oxygen the glue for pre-mineralogic chemistry.
