In this study, a detailed topological charge density analysis based on the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) developed by Bader and co-workers, has been accomplished (using the B3LYP method) on the CB62– anion and three planar isomers of the C3B4 species, which had been first proposed by Exner and Schleyer as examples of molecules containing hexacoordinate carbon atoms. The analysis uncovers the strong (covalent) interactions of boron atoms as well as the "nondirectional" interaction of central carbon atom with those peripheral atoms. On the other hand, instabilities have been found in the topological networks of (B6C)2– and B4C3(para) species. A detailed investigation of these instabilities demonstrates that the topology of charge density has a floppy nature near the equilibrium geometries of the species under study. Thus, these species seems to be best described as complexes of a relatively concrete ring containing boron or carbon atoms and a central carbon atom that is confined in the plane of the molecule, but with nondirectional interactions with the surrounding atoms.Key words: hypervalency, hexacoordinate carbon, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, charge density analysis, ab initio methods.

The hydrogen bonding effects that were produced from interaction of membrane lipid dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (DPPE) with 1-5 water molecules, has been theoretically  investigated through the quantum mechanical calculations at the Hartree-Fock level of theory and the 3-21G, 6-31G and 6-31G* basis sets with the computational package of Gaussian 98. According to the obtained results of the structural optimization of the isolated DPPE in the gas phase, we can see the evidences of interactions in the head group of this macromolecule (from the molecular point of view we have a proton transfer from the ammonium group to the phosphate oxygen of zwitterionic form. As we know that the hydrogen bonding of DPPE with water molecules which have surrounded its head group plays an important role in the permeability of DPPE. So, in order to understand the microscopic physico-chemical nature of this subject we have analyzed bond and torsion angles of DPPE before and after added water molecules.  In this paper we have theoretically studied the complexes DPPE with water molecules which have surrounded its head group. As mentioned before, this theoretically study has been done through Hartree-Fock level of theory by using simple basis sets. Theoretical data shows that the interaction of head group of DPPE with water molecules causes some changes in the geometry of DPPE which were explained by the contribution of zwitterionic form of DPPE macromolecule, and finally hydrated DPPE becomes stable complex. Comparison between theoretical and experimental geometry data of DPPE macromolecule shows that the calculation at the HF/3-21 level of theory produces results which they are in better agreement with the experimental data. Moreover the hydrogen bonding effects on the NMR shielding tensor of selected atoms in the hydrated complexes of DPPE were reported. The ";Gauge Including Atomic Orbitals"; (GIAO) approaches within the SCF-Hartree-Fock approximation have been used in order to investigate the influence of hydrogen bonding of DPPE-water complex on the shielding tensors. Finally, the solvent affects on the stability of DPPE macromolecule, dipole moment and atomic charge of some selected atoms of DPPE molecule was discussed using Onsager model and Merz-Singh-Kolman schema.   Keywords  : Gauge Including Atomic Orbital, DPPE, hydrogen bonding, solvation, quantum mechanics, ab initio

<p></p><p><b>ABSTRACT</b>. <a></a><a></a><a>Earlier QM/MM studies of the resting state of vanadium chloroperoxidase (VCPO) focused on the diprotonated states of the vanadate cofactor. Herein, we report a new extensive QM/MM study that includes the tri- and quadprotonated states of VCPO at neutral pH. We identify certain di- and triprotonated states as being candidates for the resting state based on a comparison of relative energies. The quadprotonated states as well as some of the triprotonated states are ruled out as the resting state. An Atoms-in-Molecules (AIM) analysis of the complex hydrogen bonding around the vanadate cofactor helps to explain the relative energies of the protonation states considered herein, and it also indicates new hydrogen bonding which has not been recognized previously. A Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) study is presented to give a better understanding of the electronic structure of the vanadate co-factor.</a></p><br><p></p>
