Three numerical methods were applied to compute the anharmonic O–H stretching vibrational frequencies of the free and aqueous hydroxide ion on the basis of one-dimensional vibrational potential energies computed at various levels of theory: i) simple Hamiltonian matrix diagonalization technique, based on representation of the vibrational potential in Simons-Parr-Finlan (SPF) coordinates, ii) Numerov algorithm and iii) Fourier grid Hamiltonian method (FGH).Considering the Numerov algorithm as a reference method, the diagonalization technique performs remarkably well in a very wide range of frequencies and frequency shifts (up to 300 cm–1). FGH method, on the other hand, though showing a very good performance as well, exhibits more significant (and non-uniform) discrepancies with the Numerov algorithm, even for rather modest frequency shifts.

This study is intended to elucidate the role of pressure on the hydration behaviour of ions in aqueous solutions. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed for systems modelling CsF, CsCl, CsBr, and CsI aqueous solutions under ‘normal’ (105 Pa, 298 K) and ‘high pressure’ (4 ·109 Pa, 500 K) conditions. Structural details are discussed in terms of radial distributions functions, coordination numbers, and instantaneous configurations of the ionic hydration shells. The dynamic properties studied include the velocity autocorrelation functions and self-diffusion coefficients of the ions for both pressure regimes. The results indicate strong changes in the hydration behaviour and mobility of the ions.

The pKa values for the deprotonation of a series of eight 1-(X-benzyl)-4-phenylacetylpyridinium cations (6) have been measured in aqueous solutions of ionic strength 0.1 at 25 °C: pKa = −0.18σ + 8.91. The pseudo-first-order rate constants for deprotonation of these carbon acids have been measured over the range pH = 11–13, and have been found to display kinetic saturation effects that are consistent with the addition of hydroxide ion to the carbonyl group (pKz) as the product of kinetic control upon basification of neutral aqueous solutions of these pyridinium cations, with the subsequent transformation of this anionic hydrate to the thermodynamically more stable enolate conjugate base. Analysis of the pH–rate profiles gives substituent effects upon pKz (ρ = −0.19) and upon the second-order rate constant (kOH (ρ = 0.09)) for deprotonation of 6 by hydroxide ion. Key words: carbon acids, deprotonation, pKa, kinetics, substituent effects.

The reaction of acetone with four heteroaromatic cations (10-methylacridinium (1), 3-aminocarbonyl-1-methylquinolinium (2a), 3-cyano-1-methylquinolinium (2b), and 3-bromo-1-methylquinolinium (2c)) has been investigated in basic aqueous solutions (pH 9–12, ionic strength 0.1, 25 °C). For each of 2a and 2b, the kinetically controlled product is a 35:65 mixture of the C-2 and C-4 enolate ion adducts; the C-2 adduct subsequently isomerizes to give the C-4 adduct as the only observable species under thermodynamic control. For 2c, the C-2 enolate adduct appears to be favoured both kinetically and thermodynamically. Under kinetic control, the pH-dependence of adduct formation from each cation is consistent with rate-determining attack of the enolate ion upon the heterocyclic cation. Comparisons of regiochemical control of acetone enolate ion attack with hydroxide ion attack upon these same cations indicate that acetone enolate ion shows a more pronounced preference for C-4 attack over C-2 attack than does hydroxide ion. The thermodynamically controlled regiochemistry is similar for each of these two nucleophiles. Keywords: nucleophilic addition, regioselectivity, kinetic control, thermodynamic control, quinolinium cations.
