Mulliken Charge (mulliken + charge)
Selected AbstractsInteraction of CO and NO with the spinel CuCr2O4 (100) surface: A DFT studyINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 9 2008Xiang-Lan Xu Abstract The characteristics of CO and NO molecules at Cu2+ and Cr3+ ion sites on the CuCr2O4 (100) surface have been studied by first principles calculations based on spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT). The calculated results show that adsorption energies for X-down(C, N) adsorption vary in the order: Cu2+ -CO>Cr3+ -NO,Cr3+ -CO>Cu2+ -NO. CO molecules are preferentially adsorbed at Cu sites, whereas NO molecules adsorb favorably at Cu2+ and Cr3+ ion sites. The C-O and N-O stretching frequencies are red-shifted upon adsorption. Combining the analysis of frontier molecular orbitals and Mulliken charge, for CO and NO X-down adsorption systems, the 5, orbitals donate electrons and the 2,* orbitals obtain back-donated electrons. Although for NO with O-down adsorption systems, the NO-2,* orbitals obtain back-donated electrons from substrates without 5,-donation. Coadsorption calculations show the CO/NO mixture adsorb selectively at the Cu2+ion site but simultaneously at the Cr3+ ion site, respectively. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2008 [source] Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer of New Diphenyl- ethylene Derivatives Bearing Imino Group: A Combination of Experimental and Theoretical InvestigationCHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2010Fang Gao Abstract In this paper, we described the synthesis and characterization of new diphenylethylene bearing imino group. We concentrated particularly on the investigation of the possibility of the excited state intramolecular charge transfer (ESIPT) of the new dyes experimentally and theoretically. The absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy of the dyes were determined in various solvents. The results showed that the maximal absorption wavelength of 2-[(4,- N,N -dimethylamino-diphenylethylene-4-ylimino)methyl]phenol (C1) and 4-[(4,- N,N -dimethylamino-diphenylethylene-4-ylimino)methyl]phenol (C2) exhibited almost independence on the solvent polarity. While as contrast, the maximal fluorescence wavelength of the dyes showed somewhat dependence on the solvent polarity. In particular, C1 displayed well-separated dual fluorescence spectroscopy. The second fluorescence peak was characterized with an "abnormal" fluorescence emission wavelength in aprotic solvents with large Stokes shift (ca. 140 nm in THF), which was much more than normal Stokes shift (ca. 30 nm in THF). This emission spectroscopy could be assigned to ESIPT emission. On the other hand, the ESIPT fluorescence of C1 was much reduced or lost in the protic solvents. While, only normal fluorescence emission was detected in various solvents. Although the absorption maxima of C1 exhibited about 10 nm red-shift with respect to those of C2, the normal fluorescence maxima of C1 and C2 were almost identical in various solvents. These results suggested that C1 could undergo ESIPT, but C2 was not able to proceed ESIPT. The molecular geometry optimization of phototautomers in the ground electronic state (S0) was carried out with HF method (Hartree-Fock) and at DFT level (Density Functional Theory) using B3LYP both, while the CIS was employed to optimize the geometries of the first singlet excited state (S1) of the phototautomers of C1 and C2 respectively. The properties of the ground state and the excited state of the phototautomers of C1 and C2, including the geometrical parameter, the energy, the frontier orbits, the Mulliken charge and the dipole moment change were performed and compared completely. The data were analyzed further based on our experimental results. Furthermore, the absorption and fluorescence spectra were calculated in theory and compared with the measured ones. The rate constant of internal proton transfer (9.831×1011 s,1) of C1 was much lower than that of salicylidene methylamine (C3, 2.045×1015 s,1), which was a typical Schiff base compound and was well demonstrated to undergo ESIPT easily under photoexcitation.

The properties of the ground state and the excited state of phototautomers of C1 to C4 [C1: 2-(4,-nitro-stilbene-4-ylimino)methylphenol; C2: 2-(4,-cyano-stilbene-4-ylimino)methylphenol; C3: 2-(4,-methoxyl-stilbene-4-ylimino)methylphenol; C4: 2-(4,- N,N -diethylamino-stilbene-4-ylimino)methylphenol], which included geometrical parameter, energy, rate constant, frontier orbit, Mulliken charge, dipole moment change, were studied by DFT (density functional theory), CIS (configuration interaction singles-excitation), TDDFT (time-dependent DFT) methods to analyze the effects of chromophore part on the occurrence of ESIPT and the role of substituent groups. The structural parameter calculation showed that the shorter RHN and larger ROH from enol to enol* form, and less twisted configuration in the excited state implied that these molecules could undergo ESIPT as excitation. Stable transition states and a low energy barrier were observed for C1 to C4. This suggested that chromophore part increased some difficulty to undergo ESIPT for these molecules, while the possibility of occurrence of ESIPT was quite high. The negative ,E* (,9.808 and ,9.163 kJ/mol) of C1 and C2 and positive ,E* (0.599 and 1.029 kJ/mol) of C3 and C4 indicated that withdrawing substituent groups were favorable for the occurrence of ESIPT. The reaction rate constants of proton transfer of these compounds were calculated in the S0 and S1 states respectively, and the high rate constants of these compounds were observed at S1 state. C1 even reached at 1.45×1015 s,1 in the excited state, which is much closed to 2.05×1015 s,1 of the parent moiety (salicylidene methylamine). Electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituent groups had different effects on the electron density distribution of frontier orbits and Mulliken charges of the atoms, resulting in different dipole moment changes in enol*,keto* process. These differences in turn suggested that C1 and C2 had more ability to undergo ESIPT than C3 and C4. The ultraviolet/visible absorption spectra, normal fluorescence emission spectra and ESIPT fluorescence emission spectra of these compounds were predicted in theory.

Ebenso Abstract Density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) and BP86/CEP-31G* basis set levels and ab initio calculations using the RHF/6-31G (d,p) methods were performed on four sulfonamides (namely sulfaacetamide (SAM), sulfapyridine (SPY), sulfamerazine (SMR), and sulfathiazole (STI)) used as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in acidic medium to determine the relationship between molecular structure and their inhibition efficiencies (%IE). The order of inhibition efficiency obtained was SMR > SPY > STI > SAM which corresponded with the order of most of the calculated quantum chemical parameters namely EHOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital energy), ELUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy), the energy gap (,E), the Mulliken charges on the C, O, N, S atoms, hardness (,), softness (S), polarizability (,), dipole moment (,), total energy change (,ET), electrophilicity (,), electron affinity (A), ionization potential (I), the absolute electronegativity (,), and the fraction of electrons transferred (,N). Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) approach has been used and a correlation of the composite index of some of the quantum chemical parameters was performed to characterize the inhibition performance of the sulfonamides studied. The results showed that the %IE of the sulfonamides was closely related to some of the quantum chemical parameters but with varying degrees/order. The calculated %IE of the sulfonamides studied was found to be close to their experimental corrosion inhibition efficiencies. The experimental data obtained fits the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The negative sign of the EHOMO values and other thermodynamic parameters obtained indicates that the data obtained supports physical adsorption mechanism. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Lawson Abstract The cone and 1,2,3 alternate isomers of calix[6]arene bis-crown-4 were investigated computationally. Structural optimizations, energies, bond distances, and Mulliken charges were calculated by the application of the B3LYP/6-31g(d) method/basis, followed by NMR calculations via both B3LYP/6-31g(d) and HF/6-31g(d). Calculations were completed at three different levels of imposed symmetry, and two calculations investigated the chloroform solvent effects. Better NMR results were obtained from HF/6-31g(d) calculations that did not impose molecular symmetry constraints. Consideration of solvent effects improved ground state energies, but other improvements were minimal and not significant enough to justify the added computational expense of solvent calculations. Overall results are consistent with known experimental assignments and were valuable for assigning previously unknown NMR peaks. Net charges, electrostatic forces, and local dipoles , but not bond lengths , are strongly correlated to spectroscopic manifestations of steric compression. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
