Aromatic chloroformates Ib-Ie were shown to exist in the ap conformation, in agreement with aliphatic chloroformates, i.e. the alkyl group is situated cis to the carbonyl oxygen atom as it is the case in all esters. While 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (Ie) is in this conformation in crystal, in solution at most several tenths of percent of the sp conformation may be populated at room temperature and in nonpolar solvents only. A new analysis of dipole moments explained the previous puzzling results and demonstrated the impossibility to determine the conformation by this single method, in consequence of the strong interaction of adjoining bonds. If, however, the ap conformation is once proven, the dipole moments reveal some features of the electron distribution on the functional group, characterized by the enhanced polarity of the C-Cl bond and reduced polarity of the C=O bond. This is in agreement with the observed bond lengths and angles.

Six compounds RO(H)C=C(X)CN with R = CH3 or C2H5 and X = CO2CH3, CO2C2H5 or CN are characterized by some spectral data (IR, UV, 1H NMR - solvent effect). The PMR spectra did not confirm the presence of two geometrical isomers. Employing the quantum chemical calculations of the substance with R = CH3 and X = CO2CH3 based on EHT, PPP, HMO and CNDO/2, the geometrical isomerism is discussed in relation to the experimental dipole moments. The HMO indices of chemical reactivity agree with our present synthetic insight into nucleophilic substitution of the derivatives under study.

The dipole moments have been measured of various substituted isothiocyanates of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one in benzene solution. The measured values have been compared with the dipole moments obtained by the vector addition of the bond dipole moments, and the comparison has been used for a discussion of their electronic structure and interactions of the NCS group.

<p>The accuracy of classical molecular mechanics (MM) force fields used for condensed phase molecular simulations depends strongly on the accuracy of modeling nonbonded interactions between atoms, such as electrostatic interactions. Some popular fixed-charge MM force fields use partial atomic charges derived from gas phase electronic structure calculations using the Hartree-Fock method with the relatively small 6-31G* basis set (HF/6-31G*). It is generally believed that HF/6-31G* generates fortuitously overpolarized electron distributions, as would be expected in the higher dielectric environment of the condensed phase. Using a benchmark set of 47 molecules we show that HF/6-31G* overpolarizes molecules by just under 10% on average with respect to experimental gas phase dipole moments. The overpolarization of this method/basis set combination varies significantly though and, in some cases, even leads to molecular dipole moments that are lower than experimental gas phase measurements. We further demonstrate that using computationally inexpensive density functional theory (DFT) methods, together with appropriate augmented basis sets and a continuum solvent model, can yield molecular dipole moments that are both more strongly and more uniformly overpolarized. These data suggest that these methods – or ones similar to them – should be adopted for the derivation of accurate partial atomic charges for next-generation MM force fields.<br></p>

A study has been made of the electronic structures of the fluorides of silicon, phosphorus, sulphur, and chlorine by the VESCF molecular-orbital method with a minimal basis set, not including 3d-orbitals on the central atom. It proves possible to understand variations in bond lengths and charges on fluorine ligands, dipole moments, force constants, and some n.q.r. data. The calculations are found to be sensitive to assumptions about scaling factors for monocentric coulomb repulsion integrals and penetration integrals. We have not discovered any justification for including 3d-orbitals in the description of the electronic structure of these molecules.

The effect of calcium, magnesium, strontium and barium ions on the electronic structure of m-nitrobenzoates was studied. The FT-IR spectra of m-nitrobenzoic acid and its salts were registered, assigned and analyzed. Characteristic shifts and changes in intensities of bands along the metal series were observed. The structures of m-nitrobenzoic acid and its calcium, magnesium, strontium and barium salts were optimized at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level. Geometric aromaticity indices, atomic charges, dipole moments and energies were also calculated.

The study of nonlinear optical properties of quantum systems, such as quantum dots and molecules, near plasmonic nanostructures, has attracted significant interest in the past decade. Several nonlinear phenomena have been studied in quantum systems next to plasmonic nanostructures, such as second and third harmonic generations, Kerr nonlinearity, four-wave mixing, optical bistability, and nonlinear optical rectification. The latter occurs in asymmetric quantum systems and it can be strongly influenced, enhanced, or suppressed, depending on the particular plasmonic nanostructure used. In this work, we theoretically studied the nonlinear optical rectification of a polar two-level quantum system, a specific molecule, the zinc–phalocyanine molecular complex, interacting with an optical field near a gold nanoparticle. Initially, we used the steady-state solution of the density matrix equations for determining the correct form of the nonlinear optical rectification coefficient. We then used ab initio electronic structure calculations for determining the electronic structure of the molecule under study, i.e., the necessary energy differences and the induced and permanent electric dipole moments. We also used classical electromagnetic calculations for calculating the influence of the metallic nanoparticle on the decay rates of the molecule due to the Purcell effect and on the electric field applied in the molecule in the presence of the metallic nanoparticle. We then used the above to investigate the form of the corresponding nonlinear coefficient in the absence and presence of the plasmonic nanoparticle for various parameters. We found that the nonlinear optical rectification coefficient can be enhanced for specific field polarization and for suitable distance between the molecule and the plasmonic nanoparticle. Additionally, we observed that high efficiency of this process was obtained for weak field intensity, zero pure dephasing rates, and for small values of the transition dipole moments.
