Geometric arrangement of trimethylammoniodiformylmethylide (I) and charge distribution in this compound were calculated by quantum chemical methods (EHT, CNDO/2, INDO, PCILO, MINDO/2, ab initio). Total energy minimum was found for the arrangement If. The experimentally found dipole moment agrees very well with that calculated for this conformation.

Structure of, and charge distribution in, some aliphatic ammonium ylides were determined by quantum chemical methods (CNDO/2, INDO, MINDO/2, PCILO, ab initio-STO-3G and 4-31G bases). Non-stabilized ylides were found to have pyramidal arrangement of bonds on the ylide carbon whereas the stabilized ylides have a planar arrangement. The charge distribution in stabilized ylides indicates a significant transfer of the negative charge from the ylide carbon to the electronegative groups. The calculated dipole moments for the previously prepared compounds, as well as for the derivatives VII and X, described in this paper, agree well with the experimental value.

The brown ring test is one of the most popular and visually appealing reagent tests, commonly known to chemistry undergrads and familiar even to school students. The exact composition, mechanism and structure of the complex has been investigated for nearly a century. Recent studies have elucidated its UV-vis, EPR and Mossbauer spectra, mechanistic details and kinetics, followed by crystallization and structure determination in solid state. Nonetheless these studies were unable to address the aspects of solution structure and dynamics of the brown ring complex. We have conducted ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of the classic brown ring complex in aqueous solution. In the process from the simulation trajectory, we have identified that the classically established pseudo-octahedral [Fe(H2O)5(NO)]2+ complex is in chemical equilibrium with the square-pyramidal [Fe(H2O)4(NO)]2+ complex through the exchange of one of the coordinated H2O molecules. The dynamics in aqueous solution between the penta-aqua and tetra-aqua complexes in the brown ring system has to our knowledge never been suggested earlier. Interestingly we find, using ab initio multi-reference quantum chemical methods i.e. CASSCF/NEVPT2 and CASPT2 calculations, that the mixture of these two complexes is what gives the distinctive brown coloration to the brown ring test. We show that its UV-vis spectrum can be theoretically reproduced only by accounting these two species, and not solely the classically established [Fe(H2O)5(NO)]2+ complex. The energetics of the penta-aqua and tetra-aqua complexes is also investigated at the level of multi-reference quantum chemical methods.

The geometry, charge distribution and dipole moments of parent sulfonium ylide - dimethylsulfoniomethylide (I) - and a series of stabilized sulfonium ylides, including 2-dimethylsulfuranylidene-1,3-cyclopentanedione (VI) prepared in this study, was investigated using the CNDO/2, PCILO and ab initio methods. Values of dipole moments, calculated by quantum chemical methods (CNDO/2 with sp and spd bases, ab initio with the STO-3G basis) as well as by the method of empirical bond moments, are compared with the experimental values determined in dioxane or benzene. Dipole moments of several related ammonium ylides were also studied.

The experimental data on efficiencies of a series of 7 ureides and 5 acetylides as inhibitors (IN) of corrosion of mild steel in Postgate B media compared to quantum chemical data; the following descriptors found to be essential to describe the inhibitive properties under given conditions: energies of the boundary molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) and dipole moment. The inhibitive properties of the chosen ureides under given conditions are based on electron donating rather than accepting properties of their molecules. PM/3 method was found to be preferable compared to other quantum chemical methods used (i.e., MNDO, AM/1), and even non-empiricab initiomethods because it is found to be more helpful in explaining the mechanism of inhibitive action of organic species.
