The pyrrolizidine alkaloid intermedine-N-oxide was isolated from Cerinthe glabra for the first time. Due to the questionable assignments of NMR signals of this compound in previous literature reports ab initio calculations of the 13C NMR values based on the GIAO approach, using HF and B3LYP levels of theory and the four basis sets 6-31G(d), 6-311G(d), 6-31G(d,p), and 6-311G(d,p) were performed. The assignments obtained this way are in very good accordance with the experimental values.

The hitherto elusive mono-O-protonated deltic acid C3O3H3+ was prepared by protolysis of di-tert-butoxy deltate in FSO3H-SO2ClF and in FSO3H:SbF5 (Magic Acid; 1:1 molar solution) in SO2ClF as solvent at -78°C and was characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The structure and NMR chemical shifts were also calculated by the ab initio/IGLO method. No NMR evidence was found for persistent di-O-protonated deltic acid under these conditions, although a limited equilibrium with the mono-O-protonated species can be involved. Di-, tri-, and tetra-O-protonated deltic acids were also studied by ab initio/IGLO method.Key words: protonated deltic acid, aromaticity, superacids, NMR spectroscopy, ab initio and IGLO calculations.

AbstractCare should be taken on recording the sometimes elusive 13C NMR signals for boron-bonded carbon atoms, since it is easy to extract information about coupling constants 1J(13C,11B) by measuring the respective line widths of 13C(B-C) and 11B NMR signals. This information can be confirmed by quantum-chemical calculations [B3LYP (6-311+G(d,p) level of theory] of nJ(13C,11B) in organoboranes and tetraorganoborates. For the latter, the signs for n = 2, 3, 4 were experimentally determined.

The Raman spectra (3200–50 cm−1) of gaseous, liquid, and solid 2-chloropropane-d3 (isopropyl-d3 chloride), CH3(CD3)CHCl, and the infrared spectra (3200–50 cm−1) of the gas and solid have been recorded. The torsional transitions observed in the far infrared spectrum of the gaseous sample recorded at a resolution of 0.10 cm−1 between 265 and 135 cm−1 were analyzed in terms of the semirigid rotor model. An effective barrier of 1378 ± 4 cm−1 (3.94 ± 0.01 kcal/mol), cosine–cosine coupling term of 166 ± 10 cm−1 (0.47 ± 0.03 kcal/mol), and sine–sine coupling term of −173 ± 1 cm−1 (−0.49 ± 0.01 kcal/mol) were determined by fitting ten observed frequencies arising from the CH3 and CD3 torsions. The assignment of the 27 fundamentals is given and discussed. A complete equilibrium geometry, barrier to internal rotation, and vibrational frequencies have been determined by ab initio Hartree–Fock gradient calculations employing either 3-21G* or 6-31G* basis sets for both the d0 and d3 species. These calculated results are compared to the experimental values as well as to the corresponding quantities for some similar molecules. Key words: 2-chloropropane, vibrational spectrum; ab initio calculations; barrier to internal rotation.

The simplified ab-initio molecular-orbital method described previously is particularly suited to the calculation of polarizabilities by the non-perturbative coupled Hartree-Fock technique. Trial calculations on CO and HF, for which comparison with corresponding ab-initio calculations is possible, show that the method gives an adequate numerical performance. Minimal basis set calculations in general tend to give values that are considerably too low because of inadequate flexibility of the basis and this is the origin of the large discrepancy between theory and experiment, especially for small molecules. ��� Results are also reported for N2O and O3. For these larger systems the SAI results with minimal basis sets are noticeably nearer experimental values. The polarizability anisotropy for N2O is particularly well reproduced by the SAI method. �

The torsion potential energy surface for cyclodecane has been examined using molecular mechanics and quantum chemical methods. The boat-chair-boat (BCB) conformer is predicted as the most stable structure at all levels of theory employed, in agreement with low temperature experiments. We found 13 low-energy conformers that cover a range of ~10 kcal mol-1. The relative abundance of the main isomers (named BCB, TBC, TBCC and TCCC) as a function of the temperature is discussed. In addition, energy calculations at high correlated levels of theory (MP4(SDTQ) and CCSD(T)) were for the first time performed for these conformations. In general, the predicted Gibbs population is in fairly good agreement with the experimental data. The simulated IR, VCD and 13 C NMR spectra were obtained showing good accordance with the observed data, providing important features for conformational analysis of cyclodecane.

AbstractAn analytical pair potential function for the system Cu(II)-water has been derived by means of ab initio calculation of the corresponding energy surface, using double zeta + polarization basis sets and effective core potentials. Tests on the function show that it should be reliable for use in Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics simulations.

Results of ab initio SCF calculations on cyanopolyynes, H-(C ≡ C)n-CN with n up to 7 are reported. Calculated rotational constants and one-electron properties are compared with the available experimental values. The effects of the C ≡ C chain length on the physical properties are discussed.
