<p>The monoalkylation of N-methoxypyridinium salts with alkyl radicals generated from alkenes (via hydroboration with catecholborane), alkyl iodides (via iodine atom transfer) and xanthates is reported. The reaction proceeds under neutral conditions since no acid is needed to activate the heterocycle and does not require the use of an external oxidant. A rate constant for the addition of a primary radical to N-methoxylepidinium >107 M–1 s–1 was experimentally determined. This rate constant is more than one order of magnitude larger than the one measured for the addition of primary alkyl radical to protonated lepidine demonstrating the remarkable reactivity of methoxypyridinium salts towards radicals. The reaction could be extended to a three component carbopyridinylation of electron rich alkenes including enol esters, enol ethers and enamides.</p>

Dissociation of Br2 in Ar was studied at 3500 K using classical 3-D trajectory technique, and compared with earlier trajectory calculations. Some of the assumptions used previously were eliminated, while others were studied in some detail. The one-way flux, equilibrium rate coefficient, obtained from over 8400 trajectories, was found to be over an order of magnitude larger than the experimental rate constant. This was taken as an indication that at high temperatures the nonequilibrium effects are important in dissociation reactions. In order to understand these effects better, additional calculations using an improved set of assumptions were performed. The calculated dissociation rate constant for Br2 + Ar → 2Br + Ar reaction, which accounted for nonequilibrium effects, agrees reasonably well with experimental results.

The one-photon absorption (OPA) properties of tetrabenzoporphyrins (TBPs) and phthalocyanines (Pcs) were studied using the semiempirical ZINDO method and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), respectively. The compared results confirmed that the semiempirical ZINDO method was reasonably reliable when calculating the OPA of tetrabenzoporphyrins and phthalocyanines. On the basis of the OPA properties obtained from the ZINDO method, two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of two series of molecules were investigated, using ZINDO and sum-over-states (SOS) methods. The results showed that the TPA cross-sections of all molecules were in the range of 220.6 × 10–50 – 345.9 × 10–50 cm4·s·photon–1, which were in the same order of magnitude as the values reported in the literature. The relatively larger δ(ω) value for Pcs with respect to that for corresponding TBPs originates from larger intramolecular charge transfer, which can be characterized by the difference of dipole moment between S0 and S1 and the transition dipole moment between S1 and S5.Key words: two-photon absorption, ZINDO, sum-over-states, tetrabenzoporphyrin, phthalocyanines.
