The influence of variations in the OSiO bond angle α on the anisotropy of the 29Si shielding tensor of the monosilicate anion SiO44- in C3ν symmetry has been investigated by semiempirical CNDO/2 calculations. In the valence basis set of the silicon atom, no d-orbitals were employed. It could be shown that the terms characterizing the four Si-O bond contributions to ∆σ are of greatest importance for reproducing the experimentally observed trend of anisotropy signs in silicates. Both the increasing O(1)-Si-O(B) bond angle α, and the decreasing Si-O(1) bond length r(Si-O(1)) (and vice versa) exhibit an amplifying geometrical influence on ∆σ.

The Dunning and Winter1 (DW) conformational study of H2O2 represents accepted state-of-the-art methodology in accurate SCF computation of molecular properties; nevertheless the prediction of a very short O-O bond length and a very large O-O-H bond angle by DW indicates the difficulty in adequately describing molecules with vicinal lone pairs. Consequently we have reexamined H2O2 with several standard Gaussian basis sets, and in addition have investigated the properties of two further basis set prescriptions. While polarization functions are confirmed to be necessary to attaining the correct H2O2 conformation, the situation of s (and p) Gaussian bond functions in mid-bond positions is shown to be an economical and efficacious alternative to traditional polarizing functions.

Tetrathiafulvalene () is an organosulfur compound used in the production of molecular devices such as switches, sensors, nonlinear optical devices and rectifiers. In this work, a theoretical study on the effects of solvent on TTF molecule was investigated and reported based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) as implemented in Gaussian 03 package using B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) basis set. Different solvents were introduced as a bridge to investigate their effects on the electronic structure. The HUMO, LUMO, energy gap, global chemical index, thermodynamic properties, NLO and DOS analysis of the TTF molecule in order to determine the reactivity and stability of the molecule were obtained. The results obtained showed that the solvents have effects on the electronic and non-linear-optical properties of the molecule. The optimized bond length revealed that the molecule has strong bond in gas phase with smallest bond length of about 1.0834Å than in the rest of the solvents. It was observed that the molecule is more stable in acetonitrile with HOMO-LUMO gap and chemical hardness of 3.6373eV and 1.8187eV respectively. This indicates that the energy gap and chemical hardness of TTF molecule increases with the increase in polarity and dielectric constant of the solvents. The computed results agreed with the results in the literature. The thermodynamics and NLO properties calculation also indicated that TTF molecule has highest value of specific heat capacity (Cv), total dipole moment () and first order hyperpolarizability () in acetonitrile, while acetone has the highest value of entropy and toluene has a slightly higher value of zero point vibrational energy (ZPVE) than the rest of the solvents. The results show that careful selection of the solvents and basis sets can tune the frontier molecular orbital energy gap of the molecule and can be used for molecular device applications.

A study of the quantitative relationship of structure and property (Quantitative Structure Property Relationship (QSPR) has been carried out on complex compounds formed between gadolinium (Gd) and dibutyldithiophosphate (DBDTP) derivative ligands. This study is a part of our laboratory research program on the development of extractant ligands, including DBDTP in extraction for the separation and purification of rare-earth elements (REEs), specifically Gd. Gadolinium has also been a part of the research program about its use in the synthesis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, for the diagnosis of various diseases. This chemical calculation research aims to analyze the effect of descriptors in the form of parameters of the physical-chemical properties of bond lengths, bond angles, and bond energies on the stability of Gd complex compounds with DBDTP derivative ligands. To get descriptors PM7 semi-empirical method was used, while for data analysis, Multiple Linear Regression Analysis was used, assuming the model error is normally distributed with zero mean and constant variance. Furthermore, data processing was done using SPSS software. This research was conducted by involving 28 DBDTP derivative ligands and using multiple linear regression analysis. The regression equation is Y ̂ = - 0.966 + 0.586 V1 - 0.014 V2 + 0.000 V3. From the resulted research data it was found that there are three findings, namely: (1) bond length and bond angle have a significant simultaneous effect on stability of Gd complex compounds with DBDTP derivative ligands; (2) bond length and bond angle have a partially significant effect on stability of Gd complex compounds with DBDTP derivative ligands; (3) bond length proved to have a significant dominant effect on stability of Gd complex compounds with DBDTP derivative ligands.

The complexes AsPh4[Cl4V = N-Cl] and AsPh4[VOCl4] are prepared by the reaction of AsPh4Cl with Cl3VNCl and VOCl3, respectively. The IR spectra indicate C4v symmetry for the complex anions with multiple VN and VO bonds and a linear arrangement for the VNCl-group. AsPh4[VOCl4] crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/n with two formula units in the unit cell. The crystal structure was solved by X-ray diffraction methods (R = 0,062, 1096 observed, independent reflexions). The structure consists of AsPh4+ cations and [VOCl4]- anions with symmetry C4v. The extremely short VO bond length corresponds with a VO triple; its steric requirements cause the relatively large bond angle OVCl of 103.4°.

Nanosized La0.75K0.05Ba0.05Sr0.15MnO3 manganite have been synthesized using sol-gel method. Afterwards, the samples were sintered at eight different temperature ranging from 650 to 1000 °C. Phase purity, crystal structure and the morphology of the sample have been examined using X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope. It has been found that different higher sintering temperature greatly affect the phase purity and crystallite size of the sample. Regardless of the sintering temperature, all the samples crystallized in rhombohedral structure with R-3c space group. The crystallite size of the samples is found to increase from 41.59 nm up to 73.42 nm as the sintering temperature increases. Further analysis from XRD result shows that sintering temperature also affect the average Mn-O bond length and Mn-O-Mn bond angle of the sample. The average Mn-O bond length is found to increase while the average Mn-O-Mn bond angle tends to decrease as sintering temperature increases. SEM measurement shows that various grain size ranging from ~100 nm up to ~ 350 nm exists in all the sample regardless the sintering temperature.

The heavier chalcogens sulfur and selenium are important in organic and inorganic chemistry, and the role of such chalcogens in biological systems has recently gained more attention. Sulfur and, to a lesser extent selenium, are involved in diverse reactions from redox signaling to antioxidant activity and are considered essential nutrients. We investigated the ability of the DFT functionals (B3LYP, B3PW91, ωB97XD, M06-2X, and M08-HX) relative to electron correlation methods MP2 and QCISD to produce reliable and accurate structures as well as thermochemical data for sulfur/selenium-containing systems. Bond lengths, proton affinities (PA), gas phase basicities (GPB), chalcogen–chalcogen bond dissociation enthalpies (BDE), and the hydrogen affinities (HA) of thiyl/selenyl radicals were evaluated for a range of small polysulfur/selenium compounds and cysteine per/polysulfide. The S–S bond length was found to be the most sensitive to basis set choice, while the geometry of selenium-containing compounds was less sensitive to basis set. In mixed chalcogens species of sulfur and selenium, the location of the sulfur atom affects the S–Se bond length as it can hold more negative charge. PA, GPB, BDE, and HA of selenium systems were all lower, indicating more acidity and more stability of radicals. Extending the sulfur chain in cysteine results in a decrease of BDE and HA, but these plateau at a certain point (199 kJ mol−1 and 295 kJ mol−1), and PA and GPB are also decreased relative to the thiol, indicating that the polysulfur species exist as thiolates in a biological system. In general, it was found that ωB97XD/6-311G(2d,p) gave the most reasonable structures and thermochemistry relative to benchmark calculations. However, nuances in performance are observed and discussed.
