Methyl substituents are introduced into solvated ammonium perchlorate (AP) systems to explicate the effects of methylation on localized hydrogen-bonding. Methylation systems are modeled using density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP type with 4-31G(d, p), 6-311+(2d, p) basis set methods, indicating that whichever methyl group is substituted at the proton site in an ammonium ion or solvent, both methyl groups cease to H-bond, as evidence by elongation of the neighboring bond and characteristic red-shifts in the frequency of vibration. The energy barriers to the conversion from reactants to products in solvated AP systems are also discussed herein to help to elucidate the relationship solubility and H-bonding.

AbstractA computational study of the chemical kinetics and thermodynamics study of the SNAr between 3,5-dinitroethoxypyridine 1a and 3,5-dinitromethoxypyridine 1b with piperidine 2 in the gas phase is reported using hybrid density functional theory method B3PW91 and 6–31G(d,p) basis set. The reaction was modeled via both the catalyzed and base-catalyzed pathways which proceeded with the initial attack of the nucleophile 2 on the substrates 1 to yield the Meisenheimer complex intermediate that is stabilized with hydrogen bonding. Calculations show that the reaction goes via the formation and decomposition of a Meisenheimer complex, which was observed to be stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Along the uncatalyzed pathway, the decomposition of the Meisenheimer complex was the slow step and requires about 28 kcal/mol. This barrier was reduced to about 14.8 kcal/mol with the intervention of the base catalyst, thus making the formation of the Meisenheimer complex rate determining. All reactions were calculated to be exothermic, about −6.5 kcal/mol and −0.6 kcal/mol, respectively, for the reaction of 1a and 1b with 2.

The Relationship

The split of the 1<i>b</i><sub>1</sub> peak observed in the X-ray emission (XE) spectrum of liquid water has been the focus of intense research over the last two decades. Although several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of the 1<i>b</i><sub>1</sub> splitting, a general consensus has not yet been reached. In this study, we introduce a novel theoretical/computational approach which, combining path-integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations carried out with the MB-pol potential energy function and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations, correctly predicts the split of the 1<i>b</i><sub>1</sub> peak in liquid water and not in crystalline ice. A systematic analysis in terms of the underlying local structure of liquid water at ambient conditions indicates that several different hydrogen-bonding motifs contribute to the overall XE lineshape in the energy range corresponding to emissions from the 1<i>b</i><sub>1</sub> orbitals, which suggests that it is not possible to unambiguously attribute the split of the 1<i>b</i><sub>1</sub> peak to only two specific structural arrangements of the underlying hydrogen-bonding network.

Binding of N,N′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium (methyl viologen, MV2+) and its radical (MV+•) to novel p-sulfonatocalix[n]arene (CX[4]-S,) host has been investigated using the density functional theory (DFT). The hydrogen bonded interactions between α-, β- and -CH3 protons of methyl viologen with SO3 − groups of CX[4]-S render stability to their complexes. In the lowest energy structures, one of the methyl groups of MV2+ was partially penetrated within the cavity of CX[4]-S host owing to C-H···O interactions with upper rim of host while the remaining methyl group excluded from the cavity. The radical MV+• revealed qualitatively similar binding patterns to CX[4]-S host as that of MV2+. Moreover, interaction energy of methyl viologen dication was predicted to be larger than that of the corresponding radical cation.

The Relationship

Potential energy scan for U2 was performed by density functional theory (DFT) method at the B3LYP level in combination with the (ECP80MWB_AVQZ + 2f) basis set. The dissociation energy of U2, after being corrected for the zero-point vibrational energy, is 2.482 eV, which is in good agreement with the experiment. The calculated energy was fit to the typical potential functions of Morse, Lennard-Jones (L-J) and Rydberg. Both the Morse and Rydberg functions are good representatives of the potentials, but the Lennard-Jones function is not. The anharmonicity constant is very small. The anharmonic frequency is 113.99 cm–1. Thermodynamic properties of entropy and heat capacity at 298.2 K – 1500 K were calculated by using DFT-B3LYP computational results and Morse parameters, respectively. The relationship between entropy and temperature was established.

The high application of Poly(styrene-maleic acid) (PSMA) in an aqueous environment, such as biomedical purposes, makes the interaction between PSMA and water molecules interesting to be investigated. This study evaluated the conformation, the hydrogen bond network, and the stabilities of all the possible intermolecular interactions between PSMA with water (PSMA−(H2O)n, n = 1–5). All calculations were executed using the density functional theory (DFT) method at B3LYP functional and the 6–311G** basis set. The energy interaction of PSMA–(H2O)5 complex was –56.66 kcal/mol, which is classified as high hydrogen bond interaction. The Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) – Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energy gap decreased with the rise in the number of H2O molecules, representing a more reactive complex. The strongest hydrogen bonding in PSMA–(H2O)5 wasformed through the interaction on O72···O17–H49 with stabilizing energy of 50.32 kcal/mol, that analyzed by natural bond orbital (NBO) theory. The quantum theory atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis showed that the hydrogen bonding (EHB) value on O72···O17–H49 was –14.95 kcal/mol. All computational data revealed that PSMA had moderate to high interaction with water molecules that indicated the water molecules were easily transported and kept in the PSMA matrix.

A new database of transition metal reaction barrier heights – MOBH35 – is presented. Benchmark energies (forward and reverse barriers and reaction energy) are calculated using DLPNO-CCSD(T) extrapolated to the complete basis set limit using a Weizmann1-like scheme. Using these benchmark energies, the performance of a wide selection of density functional theory (DFT) exchange–correlation functionals, including the latest from the Truhlar and Head-Gordon groups, is evaluated. It was found, using the def2-TZVPP basis set, that the ωB97M-V (MAD 1.8 kcal/mol), ωB97X-V (MAD 2.1 kcal/mol) and SCAN0 (MAD 2.1 kcal/mol) hybrid functionals are recommended. The double-hybrid functionals PWPB95 (MAD 1.6 kcal/mol) and B2K-PLYP (MAD 1.8 kcal/mol) did perform slightly better but this has to be balanced by their increased computational cost.

<p>We thoroughly benchmark time-dependent density- functional theory for the predictive calculation of UV/Vis spectra of porphyrin derivatives. With the aim to provide an approach that is computationally feasible for large-scale applications such as biological systems or molecular framework materials, albeit performing with high accuracy for the Q-bands, we compare the results given by various computational protocols, including basis sets, density-functionals (including gradient corrected local functionals, hybrids, double hybrids and range-separated functionals), and various variants of time-dependent density-functional theory, including the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation. An excellent choice for these calculations is the range-separated functional CAM-B3LYP in combination with the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation and a basis set of double-ζ quality def2-SVP (mean absolute error [MAE] of ~0.05 eV). This is not surpassed by more expensive approaches, not even by double hybrid functionals, and solely systematic excitation energy scaling slightly improves the results (MAE ~0.04 eV). </p>
