  • MO STUDIES of SOME NONBENZENOID AROMATIC SYSTEMS Electrons
    MO STUDIESOFSOME NONBENZENOID AROMATIC SYSTEMS MIcL J. S. DEWAR Department of Chemistry, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA ABSTRACT A new version of(MINDO/3) of the MINDO semiempirical SCF MO method has been developed which seems to avoid the serious defects of earlier treat- ments. Very extensive tests show that it gives results at least comparable with those of the best ab initio SCF procedures at one-hundred-thousandth of the cost. Calculations are reported for the benzynes, for various cyclic polymethines, including (CH), (CH)3, (CH), (CH)4, (CH), (CH)5, (CH), (CI{), and (CH)18, for azulene and pentalene, for the cycloheptatriene—norcaradiene equilibrium, for spironoatetraene, for silabenzene, for a variety of poly- azines and polyazoles, and for various aromatic and potentially aromatic sulphur-containing compounds. INTRODUCTION While theoretical organic chemistry has long been based on the results of quantum mechanical treatments, in particular simplified versions of the molecular orbital (MO) method, these until recently have been too inaccurate to give results of more than qualitative significance. Many problems have therefore remained outside the scope of current theory since their solution depended on quantitative estimates of the relative energies of atoms and molecules. Recently it has become possible to carry out such quantitative calculations and the results are already proving of major chemical interest in a number of areas. The purpose of this lecture is to report some preliminary studies of this kind of various aromatic systems and problems connected with them. There is of course no question of obtaining accurate solutions of the Schrodinger equation for molecules large enough to be of chemical interest.

  • Tetrazine Ligand
    Synthesis and photochemical studies of Cu(I) complex with 1,4-bis(3,5- dimethylpyrazol-1yl)tetrazine ligand Y. K Gun’ko,* H. Hayden Department of Chemistry, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland 1. INTRODUCTION Nitrogen-rich compounds are unique very reactive substances which have high heats of formation. Pyridine is one of the most well known aromatic cycles where a CH is replaced by a nitrogen atom, but the pyridine ring is only one member of the azine heterocycles, in which one or more CH group of benzene is replaced by π-accepting and σ-donating nitrogen atoms, proceeding from diazines (pyridazines, pyrazine), triazines and up to tetrazines. Tetrazines are typical representatives of nitrogen rich heterocyclic compounds. They have a range of applications such as explosives,1 propellants and pyrotechnic ingredients,2 biological agents for recognition of anion3 and precursors for drug development. 4,5 Self-assembly of metal cations with nitrogen heterocyclic bridging ligands is a central theme in supramolecular chemistry aimed at developing assemblies of electronically coupled metal centres.6 These ligands can be used to bridge metal centres in various ways, allowing electron and charge transfer processes in the structures. 1,2,4,5-Tetrazines also have very interesting redox-behaviour, which are similar to quinones.7 The very low-lying π* orbital localised at the four nitrogen atoms in tetrazines might allow intense low-energy charge valence transfer absorptions, electrical conductivity of coordination polymers, unusual stability

  • Non-Empirical Calculations on the Electronic Structure of Olefins and Aromatics
    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.

However, synthesis and storage of such compounds remain a big challenge because of difficulties to find energy efficient synthetic routes and stabilization mechanisms. Compounds of metals with nitrogen represent promising candidates for realization of energetic polynitrogen compounds, which are also environmentally benign. Here we report the synthesis of polynitrogen planar N6 hexazine rings, stabilized in K2N6 compound, which was formed from K azide upon laser heating in a diamond anvil cell at high pressures in excess of 45 GPa and remains metastable down to 20 GPa. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy are used to identify this material, also exhibiting metallic luster, being all consistent with theoretically predicted structural, vibrational and electronic properties. The documented here N6 hexazine rings represent new highly energetic polynitrogens, which have a potential for future recovery and utilization.

Hilderbrand* Center for Systems Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, 185 Cambridge St. Suite 5.210, Boston, MA 02114 Abstract 1,2,4,5-Tetrazines have been established as effective dienes for inverse electron demand [4 + 2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions with strained alkenes for over fifty years. Recently, this reaction pair combination has been applied to bioorthogonal labeling and cell detection applications; however, to date there has been no detailed examination and optimization of tetrazines for use in biological experiments.
