Abstract: Density functional theory (B3LYP) and Moller-Plesset perturbation theory to the second order (MP2) methods with 6-31G(d),6-31+G(d,p), 6-311G (d,p), 6-311+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets have been used to investigate some diazine isomers. The equilibrium geometries, relative stabilities, strain energies, vibrational frequencies and global nucleophilicity indices for fifteen isomers are reported. The relative energies show that Dewar isomers (except 1,4-DBHD) are more stable compared to the Diazyl-isomers. The isomers with N-N and/or N-C bonds in the center are less stable, this is observed for both Dewar and Diazyl-isomers; therefore nitrogen atom(s) in the center of the isomers decreases the stability. Keywords: Diazines, relative stabilities, nucleophilicity index, quantum mechanical methods 1. Introduction Pyridazines are diazines group of compounds that are formally derived from benzene by the Copyright © 2018 by Modern Scientific Press Company, Florida, USA Int. J. Modern Chem. 2018, 10(1): 117-137 118 replacement of two of the ring carbon atom by nitrogen. Three isomeric diazines are possible with the nitrogen atoms in 1-2, 1-3, or 1-4 relationship, giving rise to the pyridazines, pyrimidines and pyrazines respectively. Pyridazine (1,2-diazine) and its benzo analogues like cinnoline (1,2-diazanaphthalene), phthalazine and benzo(d)pyridazine have been known since the nineteenth century, although the basic synthetic principles and reactivity were investigated in the early years, interest in these compounds revived only during the past 35 years because of their biological activities [1,2] On the other hand, the classes of pyrimidines possess a broad spectrum of biological effectiveness such as anti-tubercular [3], calcium channel blockers [4-6], antitumor [7], antimicrobial [8] and cardiovascular agent [9] and many classes of chemotherapeutic agents containing pyrimidine nucleus are in clinical use. More recently, a new series of pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and screened for biological activities [10]. Gas-phase electron diffraction and some other methods that had been used to carry out analysis on the molecular structures of pyrazine, pyridazine and pyrimidine and the geometrical structures were effectively compared [11, 12]. The infrared (IR) spectra collected, in the 2000–750 cm-1 range, for the compounds at room temperature, were first reported in the book by Barnes et al., in 1944 [13]. However, the IR spectrum of pyrimidine was discussed briefly by Brownlie [14] and Short and Thompson [15]. The first systematic comparative studies on the vibrational spectroscopy of these diazines namely pyrazine, pyridazine and pyrimidine have been reported [16,17]. In 1957 the complete infrared and Raman assignment of pyridazine was reported [18-21]. Several other researchers have carried out works on these three diazines by using various experimental and theoretical methods for the vibrational assignment of the compounds [22-30]. In the recent time, the role diazine derivatives plays in organic synthesis of diverse biological compounds of pharmaceutical importance cannot be over emphasized. Therefore, it would be of interest to study some other valence isomers of pyridazine, pyrimidine and pyrazine to shed light on the nucleophilicity and thermodynamic stability of these isomers. On this purpose, quantum mechanical methods were employed to study the geometries and electronic properties of fourteen diazine isomers of which three were well known. From the theoretical point of view, especially the Dewar and Diazyl- isomers would be compared to the known diazines, the role diazine derivatives plays in organic synthesis of diverse biological compounds of pharmaceutical importance cannot be over emphasized as a contribution to the understanding of diazine isomers other than pyrazine, pyridazine and pyrimidine as shown in Figure 1. To the best of our knowledge, experimental and theoretical calculations of these isomers have not been reported. However, Dewar and Aza-isomers of pyridine have been studied both at experimental and theoretical levels [31-33]. Copyright © 2018 by Modern Scientific Press Company, Florida, USA Int. J.

Computational Details The conformation equilibrium searching that replaces global equilibrium geometry with the lowest energy equilibrium conformation was performed on each isomer with Monte Carlo methods using MMFF force field [34].The lowest equilibrium conformation of each isomer was further optimized at the DFT level of theory with the standard 6-31G(d), 6-31+G(d,p), 6-311G (d,p), 6-311+G(d,p) and 6- 311++G(d,p) basis sets. The DFT calculations were carried out with the three-parameter B3LYP density functional, which includes Becke’s gradient exchange correction [35] and the Lee, Yang, Parr correlation functional [36]. Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) calculations were performed on DFT optimized geometries at each basis set [37]. Single point energy calculation was carried out on each isomer at the same level of theory [38, 39]. The absorption transitions were calculated from the optimized geometry in the ground S0 state at TD-DFT/6-311++G (d,p) theory. We also examined HOMO and LUMO levels; the energy gap was evaluated as the difference between the HOMO and LUMO energies. Copyright © 2018 by Modern Scientific Press Company, Florida, USA Int. J. Modern Chem. 2018, 10(1): 117-137 120 All calculations were performed by using Spartan 14 program [40]. 3. Result and Discussion 3.1. Geometries and Stability The studied diazine valance isomers were optimized geometries at the B3LYP(DFT) and MP2 with 6-31G(d), 6-31+G(d,p), 6-311G (d,p), 6-311+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets, although only skeletal geometrical parameters calculated at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-311++G(d,p) are listed in Tables 1 and 2. The calculated bond lengths and bond angles are in good agreement with those reported in the literatures for PYM, PYD and PYZ. For instance, the bond lengths calculated at B3LYP/6- 311++G** (MP2/6-311++G**) level for N1-C1 and C1-C2 are 1.335 (1.343) and 1.395 Å (1.399 Å) respectively in PYZ. These bond lengths are experimentally observed at 1.335 and 1.398 Å [41]. For PYD, the N1-N2, N1-C1, C1-C2 and C3-C4 bond lengths are calculated to be 1.381, 1.334, 1.386 and 1.381 Å at B3LYP/6-311++G**; 1.341, 1.344, 1.400 and 1.389 Å at MP2/6-311++G**; 1.337, 1.338, 1.400 and .1.385 Å respectively as observed experimentally [42]. For PYM, the N1-C1, N1-C4 and C1- C2 bond lengths are calculated to be 1.335, 1.336 and 1.391Å at B3LYP/6-311++G**; 1.343, 1.342 and 1.395 at MP2/6-311++G** and these are reported as 1.340, 1.393 and 1.393 Å respectively [43,44]. However, Almenningen et al., 1977 reported the experimental values for C-C and N-C bonds as 1.393Å and 1.341Å for PYM [45]. The bond distances calculated at MP2/6-311++G** level of theory are more close to the experimental values than that of B3LYP/6-311++G** results but both methods reproduced the experimental values in terms of bond angles. For instance, N1-C1-C2 (N1-C4-N2) bond lengths obtained at B3LYP/6-311++G**, MP2/6-311++G** are 122.22 (127.00) and 122.24 (127.45) respectively compared to experimental values of 122.30 (127.02) for PYM [43]; N1-C1-C2 (N1-N2-C4) are 123.63 (119.49), 124.07 (119.49), (123.62 (119.50) for B3LYP/6-311++G**, MP2/6-311++G** and experimental respectively for PZD [42]; N1-C1-C2 (C2-N2-C3) are 121.97 (116.07) and 122.42 (115.17) for B3LYP/6-311++G** and MP2/6-311++G** respectively compared to 121.98 (115.40) obtained experimentally for PYZ [41].

Soc. 2020, 142, 5419−5428 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Synthetic macrocycles capable of undergoing allosteric regulation by responding to versatile external stimuli are the subject of increasing attention in supramolecular science. Herein, we report a structurally transformative tetracationic cyclophane containing two 3,6-bis(4-pyridyl)-l,2,4,5-tetrazine (4-bptz) units, which are linked together by two p-xylylene bridges. The cyclophane, which possesses modular redox states and structural post-modifications, can undergo two reversibly consecutive two-electron reductions, affording first its bisradical dicationic counterpart, and then subsequently the fully reduced species. Furthermore, one single-parent cyclophane can afford effectively three other new analogs through box- to-box cascade transformations, taking advantage of either reductions or an inverse electron-demand Diels−Alder (IEDDA) reaction. While all four new tetracationic cyclophanes adopt rigid and symmetric box-like conformations, their geometries in relation to size, shape, electronic properties, and binding affinities toward polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be readily regulated. This structurally transformative tetracationic cyclophane performs a variety of new tasks as a result of structural post-modifications, thus serving as a toolbox for probing the radical properties and generating rapidly a range of structurally diverse cyclophanes by efficient divergent syntheses. This research lays a solid foundation for the introduction of the structurally transformative tetracationic cyclophane into the realm of mechanically interlocked molecules and will provide a toolbox to construct and operate intelligent molecular machines.

    NON-EMPIRICAL CALCULATIONS ON THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF OLEFINS AND AROMATICS by Robert H. Findlay, B.Sc. Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of philosophy University of Edinburgh December 1973 U N /),, cb CIV 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I Wish to express my gratitude to Dr. M.H. Palmer for his advice and encouragement during this period of study. I should also like to thank Professor J.I.G. Cadogan and Professor N. Campbell for the provision of facilities, and the Carnegie Institute for the Universities of Scotland for a Research Scholarship. SUMMARY Non-empirical, self-consistent field, molecular orbital calculations, with the atomic orbitals represented by linear combinations of Gaussian-type functions have been carried out on the ground state electronic structures of some nitrogen-, oxygen-, sulphur- and phosphorus-containing heterocycles. Some olefins and olefin derivatives have also been studied. Calculated values of properties have been compared with the appropriate experimental quantities, and in most cases the agreement is good, with linear relationships being established; these are found to have very small standard deviations. Extensions to molecules for which there is no experimental data have been made. In many cases it has been iôtrnd possible to relate the molecular orbitals to the simplest member of a series, or to the hydrocarbon analogue. Predictions of the preferred geometry of selected molecules have been made; these have been used to predict inversion barriers and reaction mechanisms. / / The extent of d-orbital participation in molecules containing second row atoms has been investigated and found to be of trivial importance except in molecules containing high valence states of the second row atoms.

Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 20778−20787 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: An unprecedented 1,4-cycloaddition (vs 3,6-cycloaddition) of 1,2,4,5- tetrazines is described with preformed or in situ generated aryl-conjugated enamines promoted by the solvent hydrogen bonding of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) that is conducted under mild reaction conditions (0.1 M HFIP, 25 °C, 12 h). The reaction constitutes a formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition across the two nitrogen atoms (N1/N4) of the 1,2,4,5-tetrazine followed by a formal retro [4 + 2] cycloaddition loss of a nitrile and aromatization to generate a 1,2,4-triazine derivative. The factors that impact the remarkable change in the reaction mode, optimization of reaction parameters, the scope and simplification of its implementation through in situ enamine generation from aldehydes and ketones, the reaction scope for 3,6-bis(thiomethyl)-1,2,4,5- tetrazine, a survey of participating 1,2,4,5-tetrazines, and key mechanistic insights into this reaction are detailed. Given its simplicity and breath, the study establishes a novel method for the simple and efficient one-step synthesis of 1,2,4-triazines under mild conditions from readily accessible starting materials. Whereas alternative protic solvents (e.g., MeOH vs HFIP) provide products of the conventional 3,6-cycoladdition, the enhanced hydrogen bonding capability of HFIP uniquely results in promotion of the unprecedented formal 1,4-cycloaddition.

These atoms are termed as heteroatoms . The structure of benzene and pyridine are provided in figure 1 above. Nomenclature of Heterocyclic Compounds Heterocyclic compounds are popularly known by their common names. However, IUPAC has provided a systematic nomenclature with prefix and suffix as discussed below. According to IUPAC, the numbering starts with the heteroatom as shown in figure 1. According to common names, the greek letters, α, β, γ etc are followed as shown in figure 1. Order of Seniority Prefix Suffix 1 Oxa for oxygen 2 Thia for sulfur -ole for 5 membered rings 3 Aza for nitrogen -ine for 6 membered rings 4 Phoshpha for phosphorus -epine for 7 membered rings 5 Bora for boron Table 1: Nomenclature of Heterocyclic compounds When more than one heteroatom is present in a molecule, an order of seniority exists for the naming and numbering system, with the number preference given for oxygen first followed by 1 other atoms as shown.
