Rotational Barriers

Ab initio molecular orbital theory is used to study substituent effects in a series of substituted ethyl anions, XCH2CH2- (X = Li, BeH, BH2, CH3, NH2, OH and F). All substituents stabilize the anion relative to the corresponding neutral ethane. For electronegative substituents (NH2, OH and F) as well as CH3, this stabilization is achieved through enhanced hyperconjugative donation from the occupied 2p(C-) orbital to a vacant π*(CH2X) or π*(CH2) orbital; electropositive groups (Li, BeH and BH2) stabilize the anion primarily by 1,3-overlap between the occupied 2p(C-) orbital and the vacant 2p(X) orbital where such an interaction is possible. The importance of 1,3-interactions contrasts with the situation for cations XCH2CH2+ in which hyperconjugative interactions appear to be dominant.

Internal Rotational Barriers

Semiempirical and ab initio MO calculations were performed to estimate the structural parameters of tert-butylammonium ion and its potential energies for the internal rotation of the CH3 and NH3+ groups. The barrier height for the rotation of NH3+ was found to be lower than for that of CH3 , corresponding to the C - N bond being longer than the C - C bond.

Conformational Energies

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations are used to explore additivity in the conformational energies of poly-substituted ethanes in terms of conformational energies of ethane and appropriate mono- and 1,2-di-substituted derivatives. Such relations would allow complex calculations for poly-substituted ethanes to be replaced by much simpler ones on a small number of parent molecules. General expressions for the linear combinations are derived from the assumption that interactions between vicinal substituents are pairwise additive and depend only on the vicinal dihedral angle. The additivity scheme is tested for 15 ethanes, di-, tri- or tetrasubstituted by cyano and methyl groups and for a smaller number of fluoroethanes. Additivity applies to within 0.1- 0.3 k J mol -1 in the methylethanes and mostly to within about 0.7- 0.8 kJ mol -1 in cyanoethanes. Large deviations are found among the geminally substituted fluoroethanes. It is suggested that the additivity approximation is most successful in the absence of strongly interacting geminal groups. Predictions are made of conformational energies of ten hexa(cyano- and methyl-) substituted ethanes.
