Proton Shift

A computational study of triazene, methyltriazene, dimethyltriazene, and trimethyltriazene is presented. A number of different conformers are analyzed and rationalized using hyperconjugation and steric interaction arguments. The transition states for rotation, inversion, and proton and methyl shifts (including water-mediated) are found and the barriers determined.Key words: triazene, ab initio, methyltriazene, 1,3-proton shift.

Carbon Framework

A computational study of the degenerate 1,5-suprafacial migration of the 5-substituted cyclopentadienes is presented. The substituents considered are the Group 14–17 elements of the second through fifth periods, saturated by hydrogens as needed to fulfill normal valence requirements. The geometry of most transition states are remarkably similar in the carbon framework. The activation barrier to migration was shown to correlate well with a dimensionless "stretching" parameter, especially at the MP2 level.Key words: 5-substituted 1,3-cyclopentadiene, 1,2-haptotropic shift, 1,5-suprafacial shift, ab initio, transition states.

Ab Initio Study

A computational study of a series of model triazene-based anticancer agents based on methyl- and amidyl-substituted 5-(1-triazenyl)imidazoles has been carried out, including the drugs Dacarbazine, Temozolomide, and Mitozolomide. A number of different conformers are analyzed. The transition states for the gas-phase and water-mediated triazene tautomerization reaction are found and the barriers are determined.

A computational study of 5-substituted cyclopentadienes is presented. The substituents considered are the group 14–17 elements of the second through fifth periods, saturated by hydrogens as needed to fulfill normal valence requirements. The conformational characteristics are examined and rationalized using bond–antibond interactions and steric arguments. Trends in vibrational frequencies are discussed and compared with experiment where possible.Key words:cyclopentadiene, ab initio, spectra.
