The unsymmetrical boat-chair BC conformation of ( Z,Z)-cyclonona-1,3-diene is calculated to be 5 kJ mol−1 more stable than the axial-symmetrical twist-boat-chair TBC form; while the calculated energy barrier for limited pseudorotation of BC and TBC is only 10.2kJ mol−1, ring inversion of BC via plane-symmetrical boat geometry requires 24.4 kJ mol−1.

Ab initio molecular orbital and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, applied to ( Z,Z,Z)-cyclonona-1,3,6-triene (1) have revealed that the calculated energy barrier for ring inversion of the twist-boat ( C1 symmetry) conformation of 1 as a most stable form is 8.41 kcal mol−1, as calculated by the MP2/6-31G*//HF/6-31G* method

Ab initio and density functional theory methods (HF/3-21G*//HF/3-21G*, MP2/3-21G*//HF/3-21G*, B3LYP/3-21G*//HF/3-21G*, B3LYP/LANL2DZ*//HF/LANL2DZ*, MP2/LANL2DZ*//HF/LANL2DZ* and HF/LANL2DZ*//HF/LANL2DZ*) used to investigate the conformational properties of cyclohexane, 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane, 1,1-di-tert-butylcyclohexane, 1,1-bis(trimethylsilanyl)cyclohexane, 1,1-bis(trimethylgermanyl)cyclohexane and 1,1-bis(trimethylstannyl)cyclohex ane showed that the energy difference between the chair and twist-boat conformations and also the ring flipping energy barrier decreases from cyclohexane, 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane to 1,1-di-tert-butylcyclohexane, and increases from 1,1-bis(trimethylsilanyl)cyclohexane, 1,1-bis(trimethylgermanyl)cyclohexane to 1,1-bis(trimethylstannyl)cyclohexane.

The conformational properties of 2-alkyl (Me, Et, i-Pr, and t-Bu) and 2-phenyl derivatives of 1,3-dioxa-5,6-benzocycloheptene (1) were studied by 13C dnmr. Analysis of slow exchange spectra at 100.6 MHz indicates that all derivatives except tert-butyl exist in an equilibrium of chair (major) and twist-boat (minor) conformations. Substituent effects on the position of the equilibrium are rationalized in terms of steric effects.

The influence of substituents on the conformational properties of N-substituted 5,6-dihydro-7H,12H-dibenz[c,f]azocines and their conjugate acids was studied by n.m.r. spectroscopy. The position of the equilibrium between a rigid boat-chair and a flexible twist-boat conformation has been measured. The twist-boat conformation in deuterochloroform increased as the size of the substituent increased. However, the effect was opposite for the series of conjugate acids in trifluoroacetic acid.A number of inversion barriers for the [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text] equilibria in CDCl3 and TFA were determined. It was found that all barriers to interconversion were raised on protonation. The barrier to racemization for the twist-boat form of the quaternary methiodide of 1 was found to be >18 kcal/mol.

The conformational properties of seven 5,6,7,12-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,d]cyclooctenes bearing substituents at C-6 have been studied using variable temperature proton nmr spectroscopy. The position of the equilibrium between boat-chair (BC) and twist-boat (TB) conformers has been measured in several solvents. In contrast to the unsubstituted dibenzocyclooctene, appreciable amounts of TB conformer are present when C-6 is substituted by alkyl, hydroxy, or cyano substituents. Measurements at different temperatures showed the TB form to possess the greater entropy. Barriers to the BC → TB interconversion were determined by coalescence studies, using both approximate and complete line shape methods. Barriers ranged from 10.1 kcal/mol for the 6-keto derivative to 16.7 kcal/mol for the 6-hydroxy-6-methyl derivative.

ABSTRACTThe potential ionic conductors Li2APO4 (A = Na, K) are investigated combining experiments and first principles calculations at the Density Functional Theory level. A high ionic conductivity of 6.5 x10−6 and 1.5 x10−5 S cm−1 at 25 and 70°C, respectively, is found in Nalipoite-Li2NaPO4. For this mixed phosphate the energy barriers to Li motion are calculated. The lower energy barrier (0.7 eV) implies the inter-chain diffusion of Li in the b-c plane. We predict that ionic mobility is enhanced in the isostructural Li2KPO4, with the lowest calculated energy barrier being 0.4 eV.

Abstract The dynamic behaviour of tetramethylethylene diamine (TMEDA) ligands in three organometallic complexes, dimeric phenyllithium, [Li(tmeda)μ-Ph]2 (1), lithium cyclopentadienide, [Li(tmeda)]C5H5 (2), and dilithium naphthalendiide, trans-[Li(tmeda)]2C10H8 (3), has been studied by CP/MAS 13C and 15N as well as 7Li MAS NMR spectroscopy of powdered samples. Two dynamic processes with free activation enthalpies of 40 and 68 kJ mol-1, respectively, were detected for 1. The first one can be assigned to ring inversion of the five-membered Li-TMEDA rings, while the second is caused by a complete rotation of the TMEDA ligands or a ring inversion of the central four-membered C-Li-C-Li metallacycle. Fast rotation of the ligands on the NMR time scale was found for 2, while 3 shows 180° ring flips of the Li-TMEDA groups, which are characterized by an energy barrier ΔG" (317) of 64 kJ mol-1

A series of (1,3-dithiane)Fe(CO)4 complexes, (2-X-1,3-dithiane)Fe(CO)4, X = H, Me, SiMe3, GeMe3, SnMe3, PbMe3, has been prepared and characterized, and both the complexes and the free ligands studied by 1H and 13C nmr spectroscopy. The energy barrier to ring inversion in (1,3-dithiane)Fe(CO)4, ΔG298†, is 14.7 ± 0.2 kcal mol−1, some 4.4 kcal mol−1 higher than in free 1,3-dithiane.13C nmr spectra showed that within the Fe(CO)4 moiety, rapid averaging of carbonyl groups occurs down to at least −80 °C.
