Conformational Preferences

<p>We report a systematic study of a series of N-enoyl systems attached to common oxazolidin-2-ones, oxazolidine-2-thiones and thiazolidine-2-thiones chiral auxiliaries in order to determine the most stable conformation of these compounds. <sup>1</sup>H NMR studies show an <em>anti</em>-<em>s</em>-<em>cis</em> structure as the most stable conformation for these series of compounds. Density Functional Theory geometry optimizations and vibrational analysis using the b3lyp exchange-correlation functional with the standard 6-31g** basis sets were done, including solvent effects (chloroform and toluene). Gibbs free energy differences show that the <em>anti</em>-<em>s</em>-<em>cis</em> structures are the most stable conformers lying, on average, ca. 6 kcal/mol lower in energy than the <em>syn</em>-<em>s</em>-<em>cis</em> conformers, widely used to explain the structure and reactivity of <em>N</em>-enoyl systems.</p>

The Impact

We present an efficient algorithm for evaluating the exchange-correlation contribution to the nuclear gradients of density-functional theory calculation within the local spin-density approximation. The algorithm is an extension of the multiresolution exchange-correlation (mrXC) method, which treats smooth and compact parts of the electron density separately. The nuclear gradient of the smooth density is calculated on the even-spaced grid while the compact part of the density is handled on the normal atom-centered grid (ACG). The overall formulism is still formally based on the ACG, and thus does not change the results of the existing ACG-based algorithms for all-electron density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The variation of the positions and weights of ACG owing to the nuclear perturbation is also handled rigorously. Benchmark calculations with different basis sets and sizes of ACG show that mrXC reduces the computational cost by several times without loss of accuracy. It also lessens the impact on the CPU time when the size of the ACG is increased.

Abstract The syntheses of new tetraaza macrocyclic compounds of variable ring sizes by non-template methods and their characterization with the help of elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR) have been reported in detail. The vibrational frequencies determined experimentally are compared with those obtained theoretically from density functional theory (DFT) and Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations. The comparisons between the experimental and theoretical results indicate that B3LYP level with both the 3-21G(d) and 6-31G+(d,p) basis sets is able to provide satisfactory results for predicting IR properties. The frontier molecular orbital diagrams and molecular electrostatic potential maps of title compounds have been also calculated and visualized at the B3LYP/6-31G+(d,p) level of theory.

Calculations of the electronic structure of a stacked dimmer sequence from the D(GCAAACGTTTGC)2 B-DNA dodecamer resolved in a PDB file 1HQ7 are performed within density functional theory. Seeking to understand the minimum level of theory that yields a reliable description for these systems, the basis sets 6-31g*, 6-31g*+BSSE, 6-311g*, 6-311g**, 6-311++g** along with the B3LYP and PBE0 exchange-correlation functionals were employed. These results are then used to implement a one dimensional model of long stacked systems to obtain a new semiempirical method that can be employed at low computational cost.

In this paper, molecular structures and vibrational frequencies of cycloketone, cyclopropanone, cyclobutanone, cyclopentanone, and cyclohexanone have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) and the second order Møller and Plesset (MP2) levels of theory, using 6-311G, 6-311G**, 6-311++G, and 6-311++G** basis sets. The calculations predict a planar structure for cyclopropanone. The cyclobutanone ring is puckered and according to the calculations at B3LYP/6-311++G** and MP2/6-311++G** levels of theory, it deviates from planarity by 5.0° and 15.7°, respectively. The calculated barrier height between puckered and planar conformer, at MP2/6-311G** level of theory, is 196.7 cm-1. The puckering frequency at B3LYP/6-311G** and MP2/6-311G** levels are 47.5 cm-1 and 121.2 cm-1. Cyclopentanone has twisted conformations ( C 2 symmetry) in which carbons C1 and C2 are out-of-plane with a torsional angle of 11.5° (MP2/6-311G**) and the molecule goes from one conformation to the other via an envelope transition conformation ( C s symmetry). or planar hilltop conformation ( C 2v symmetry). The most stable conformation of the cyclohexanone is C s chair, which has no ring strain, is used as land mark.

Ab Initio And Dft

A conformational study of the symmetrical and nonsymmetrical homologue series was carried out. In this study, ab initio (RHF/3-21G and RHF/6-31G(d)) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G(d)) calculations were performed. The presence of two symmetrical aromatic systems (identical or not) reduces notably the conformational possibilities of these compounds. Our results indicate that RHF/3-21G calculations are sufficient to use in a preliminary form. However, from our results it is prudent to use this technique only for a preliminary or exploratory conformational analysis. Thus, at least, the HF level of theory in conjunction with more extended basis sets and the inclusion of electron correlation appear to be necessary to confirm critical points at the potential energy hyper surfaces (PEHSs) and to assign the conformational preferences of these compounds. In the present paper, we report a complete and comprehensive picture of the conformational intricacies of the compounds with a small flexible connecting chain (n = 1–5). In addition, an "educated guess" for the conformational behaviour of large-size homologues (n = 6–10) is also reported.Key words: ab initio and DFT calculations, conformational study, homologue series.

We analyze in depth two widely used definitions (from the theory of conditional probablity amplitudes and from the adiabatic connection formalism) of the exchange-correlation energy density and of the response potential of Kohn-Sham density functional theory. We introduce a local form of the coupling-constant-dependent Hohenberg-Kohn functional, showing that the difference between the two definitions is due to a corresponding local first-order term in the coupling constant, which disappears globally (when integrated over all space), but not locally. We also design an analytic representation for the response potential in the strong-coupling limit of density functional theory for a model single stretched bond.<br>

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>

Covalent Interactions

Due to the rigid structure of 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), its 31P chemical shift solely depends on non-covalent interactions in which the molecule is involved. The maximum range of change caused by the most common of these, hydrogen bonding, is only 6 ppm, because the active site is one of the PTA nitrogen atoms. In contrast, when the PTA phosphorus atom is coordinated to a metal, the range of change exceeds 100 ppm. This feature can be used to support or reject specific structural models of organometallic transition metal complexes in solution by comparing the experimental and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculated values of this 31P chemical shift. This approach has been tested on a variety of the metals of groups 8–12 and molecular structures. General recommendations for appropriate basis sets are reported.
