Fluorine atoms incorporated into 1,5-hexadiene molecule should influence the kinetic as well as the thermodynamic parameters of [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement (Cope rearrangement). Within few decades is has been documented that this transformation proceeds in a concerted manner, rather than stepwise with some radical intermediates involved. Few new terminally fluorinated 1,5-hexadienes (compounds 3, 5A, 7, 9 and 5B) have been synthesized. The activation parameters of rearrangement have been determined and compared with those known for hydrocarbon analogues. While systems developing chair-like transition states (compounds 3 and 5) showed close similarity with hydrocarbon analogues (compound 1), those developing boat-like transition states (compounds 7, 9 and 5B) may proceed through radical stepwise mechanism. Computational studies of the transition states were carried out, showing that only ab initio methods (MP2 and especially DFT) can give approximate correlation with experimental data, whereas in the case of hydrocarbon analogues even simple semiempirical methods (AM1) were reliable enough to reproduce experimental results.

The structures of a number of dimers of sulphur dioxide and ozone have been optimized by means of a series of ab initio calculations. The dimer species have been classified as either genuine energy minima or transition states of first or higher order, and the most probable structures consistent with the experimental data have been confirmed. The molecular orbitals engaged in the interactions resulting in adduct formation have been identified and relations between the orbitals of the dimers of the valence isoelectronic monomer species examined. The vibrational spectra of the most probable structures have been computed, and compared with those reported in the literature, particularly with spectra observed in cryogenic matrices. The calculations have been extended to predict the properties of a number of possible heterodimers formed between sulphur dioxide and ozone.

Background: Bacterial infections are considered as one of the major global health threats, so it is very essential to design and develop new antibacterial agents to overcome the drawbacks of existing antibacterial agents. Method: The aim of this work is to synthesize a series of new fluoroquinolone-3-carboxamide amino acid conjugates by molecular hybridization. We utilized benzotriazole chemistry to synthesize the desired hybrid conjugates. Result: All the conjugates were synthesized in good yields, characterized, evaluated for their antibacterial activity. The compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity using methods adapted from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Synthesized conjugates were tested for activity against medically relevant pathogens; Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27856) Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 19433). Conclusion: The observed antibacterial experimental data indicates the selectivity of our synthesized conjugates against E.Coli. The protecting group on amino acids decreases the antibacterial activity. The synthesized conjugates are non-toxic to the normal cell lines. The experimental data were supported by computational studies.

Mechanistic Approach

The oxidations of the title perchlorates, bearing the sterically diverse 6'-substituents (H, Me, Et, i-Pr, n-Bu, t-Bu and Ph) in two series with the same 4-substituents (Ph and t-Bu) lead to pairs of isomeric 3',5-disubstituted (Z)-1'-phenyl-3'-(2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)prop-2'- en-1'-ones and 3,6'-disubstituted [5-phenyl-1-(6'-pyridin-2'-yl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl](phenyl)methanones except where the both variable substituents are t-Bu and then only pyrrolic product is formed. Considering steric interactions of the substituents in some intermediate and/or transition states a multistep mechanism for the oxidative transformation is proposed and supported by model PM3-PECI calculations of some radical intermediates.

The method of increments is a wavefunction-based ab initio correlation method for solids, which explicitly calculates the many-body wavefunction of the system. After a Hartree-Fock treatment of the infinite system the correlation energy of the solid is expanded in terms of localised orbitals or of a group of localised orbitals. The method of increments has been applied to a great variety of materials with a band gap, but in this paper the extension to metals is described. The application to solid mercury is presented, where we achieve very good agreement of the calculated ground-state properties with the experimental data.

Based on cluster model, we have calculated the fundamental vibrational frequencies of rutile by combining ab initio method and Wilson’s GF-matrix method. In the calculation, we have introduced the concept of environment factor α to correct the force field of the cluster model. The results of calculation are in good agreement to the experimental data and the normal modes give us clear physical picture of the crystal vibration.
