A system of rigid benzene ring and two variable torsion angles ϕ(C-C-OH) in catechol-like molecular fragments was studied. A scattergam of the two torsion angles taken from the Cambridge Structural Databank is in a good agreement with the potential energy map calculated with the AMBER compatible energy minimizer ORAL. Symmetry operations and point symmetry domains used during the analysis are described in detail. Results are interpreted in accord with the catchment region theory and the structure-correlation principle.

The work studies and compares different approaches suitable for predictions of the crack deflection (bifurcation) in ceramic laminates containing thin layers under high residual stresses and discuss a suitability and limits of using of the asymptotic analysis for such problems. The thickness of the thin compressive layers where the crack deflection occurs is only one order higher than the crack extension lengths considered within the solution. A purely FEM based calculation of the energy and stress conditions, necessary for the crack propagation, serves as the reference solution to the problem. The asymptotic analysis is used after for calculations of the same quantities (especially of energy release rate – ERR). This concept enables semi-analytical calculations of ERR or changes in potential energy induced by the crack extensions of different lengths and directions. Such approach can save a large amount of simulations and time compared with the pure FEM based calculations. It was found that the asymptotic analysis provides a good agreement for investigations of the crack increments enough far from the adjacent interfaces but for longer extensions (of length above 1/5-1/10 of the distance from the interface) starts more significantly to deviate from the correct solution. Involvement of the higher order terms in the asymptotic solution or other improvement of the model is thus advisable.

In the title compound, C10H11N3O6, the torsion angles about the bonds to the benzene ring are less than 4°, except for the nitro groups, which are twisted out of the ring plane by 25.27 (3) and 43.63 (2)°. The N—H group forms a bifurcated hydrogen bond, with an intramolecular component to a nitro group O atom and an intermolecular component to the other nitro group, thereby forming chains propagating in the [010] direction. Several weak C—H...O interactions are also present.

In the title compound, C19H20ClN3O4S, the benzene ring is inclined to the indazole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.014 Å) by 65.07 (8)°. The allyl and ethoxy groups are almost normal to the indazole ring, as indicated by the respective torsion angles [N—N—C—C = 111.6 (2) and C—C—O—C = −88.1 (2)°]. In the crystal, molecules are connected by N—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming helical chains propagating along [010]. The chains are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

In this work, a study of the relative equilibrium of a double pendulum whose point of suspension performs high frequency harmonic vibrations is presented. In order to determine the induced positions of equilibrium of the double pendulum at different gravity and vibration configurations, a set of experiments has been conducted. The theoretical analysis of the problem has been developed using Kapitsa’s method and numerical method. The method of Kapitsa allows to analyze the potential energy of a system in general and to find the values of the parameters of the problem that correspond to the relative extreme of energy — positions of stable or unstable equilibrium. The results of numerical and theoretical analysis of Hamilton equations are in good agreement with the results of the experiments.

This paper reports the results of quasiclassical trajectory calculation on extended London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato potential energy surface for the reaction between Ba atom and HI . The rotational distribution, vibrational distribution, reaction cross section, and rotational alignment are all obtained and they are under detailed discussion for product BaI . The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Data retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database for crystal structures containing (μ-diphenylphosphido) metal complexes, [M 2{μ-PPh2}] (where M is a d-block element), have been analysed to evaluate the conformational behaviour of these species. The observed distribution of torsion angles about the P—C bonds has been compared with the potential energy surface (PES) for phenyl rotations in a representative species [(AuBr)2{μ-PPh2}]− computed using the universal force field. Good agreement was obtained between the low-energy (<8 kJ mol−1 above the global minimum) regions of the PES and the occupied regions of the two-dimensional P—Ph rotor conformation space. Phenyl ring rotations occur by coupled, geared disrotatory and uncoupled conrotatory motions of the phenyl groups in this and other classes of PPh2 rotors.

In this study, the interactions between poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) and lithium-montmorillonite (LiMMT) have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The results of calculations show that the adsorption process of PEO on the LiMMT surface is physisorption with adsorption energy of -0.063 eV. This observation is consistent with the results of our calculations on PES (Potential Energy Surface) and PEC (Potential Energy Curve). The formation of space between PEO and LiMMT are found in range of 3.4 - 4.2 Å which are in good agreement with experimental results.

In the title compound, C14H13ClN2O5S2, the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the pendant chlorobenzene ring and the N-acetyl group are 82.35 (5) and 79.71 (6)°, respectively, and the overall conformation of the molecule approximates to a U shape. Both the C—S—N—C conformations are gauche, but with opposite senses [torsion angles = −59.29 (15) and 63.68 (16)°]. An intramolecular C—H...O interaction generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds generate R 2 2(20) loops. A second N—H...O hydrogen bond links the dimers into (101) layers.

We present here a new structure of a 1:1 salt of trimethoprim with hemifumarate, highlighted by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and computational conformational studies. This salt was formed during cocrystallization assays conducted to combine trimethoprim and other APIs whose combination exhibits interesting properties. Theoreticalin vacuoinvestigations have been performed on the organic salt through a DFT two-dimensional conformational scan of torsion angles between the two aromatic moieties of trimethoprim. The evaluation of relative energies for hydrogen-bond interactions in the structure has also been performed. Comparison with conformational data from structures implying trimethoprim retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) shows good agreement with theoretical results, proving the validity of vacuumab initiocalculations in describing the energetic landscape of the molecule and thereby gain initial insight into the prediction process for possible new conformations and therefore potential new polymorphs.

The substituent effects on the chemical shifts of the C9 bridge protons in a series of 6-substituted benzonorbornenes and benzonorbornadienes, and on those of the C2 protons in 5-substituted 2-indanols, were investigated. They were linearly correlated with the modified Hammett relationship τR − τH = ρ (σm + σp)/2. The ρ values obtained from the anti-C9 protons in the bornenes and bornadienes were slightly but significantly larger than those from the corresponding syn protons, whereas no significant difference was observed between the ρ values obtained from syn-9-benzonorbornenols and the indanols. The larger ρanti values were explained in terms of a stereospecific electronic interaction between the π-electron system of the benzene ring and the orbital system of the bridge carbon. In addition, it was shown that the above modified Hammett relationship gives generally a good agreement with the substituent effects on the aliphatic constituents of benzocyclenes and analogous compounds.
