Molecular Orbital Estimation of Reduced Partition Function Ratios of Lithium Interacting with Aromatic Hydrocarbons with Condensed Benzene Rings

چکیده
Molecular orbital calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level were carried out to elucidate the lithium isotope effects accompanying chemical insertion of lithium from 1-methoxybutane solution containing lithium and naphthalene to graphite. The lithium atom between the graphene layers of graphite was modeled as lithium atoms in 1:1 complexes of lithium and simple aromatic hydrocarbons with condensed benzene rings. The 7Li-to-6Li isotopic reduced partition function ratio (RPFR) was found to be a decreasing function of the number of benzene rings adjacent to the benzene ring above which the lithium atom was located, and was “saturated” at 1.04570 at 25 ◦C. The most plausible lithium species in the 1-methoxybutane solution was a lithium atom interacting with a naphthalene molecule and solvated by a 1-methoxybutane molecule in the contact ion pair manner. Its RPFR value was 1.07126 at 25 ◦C. The two RPFR values gave a single-stage separation factor of 1.024 for the lithium isotopes, which agreed well with the experimental value of 1.023.

متن کاملProton Chemical Shifts in Nmr. Part 14 1 . Proton Chemical Shifts, Ring Currents and Π Electron Effects in Condensed Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Substituted Benzenes
The proton resonance spectra of a variety of condensed aromatic compounds including benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, acenaphthylene and triphenylene were obtained in dilute CDCl 3 solution. Comparison of the proton chemical shifts obtained with previous literature data for CCl 4 solution shows small but significant differences. A previous model (CHARGE6) for calculating t...
متن کاملFirst-principles investigation on the electronic efficiency and binding energy of the contacts formed by graphene and poly-aromatic hydrocarbon anchoring groups.
The electronic efficiency and binding energy of contacts formed between graphene electrodes and poly-aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) anchoring groups have been investigated by the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism combined with density functional theory. Our calculations show that PAH molecules always bind in the interior and at the edge of graphene in the AB stacking manner, and that the b...
متن کامل[P1] Frontier Orbital Rule for Electron Transport in Molecules
We have developed a chemical way of thinking about electron transport in molecules in terms of frontier orbital theory [1-4]. The phase and amplitude of the HOMO and LUMO of πconjugated molecules determine the essential properties of their electron transport. By considering a close relationship between Green’s function and the molecular orbital, we derived an orbital rule that would help our ch...
متن کاملFormation mechanism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in benzene combustion: Quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulations.
High temperature quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulations on the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) formation during combustion of benzene were performed using the density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) method. Systems with varying H/C of 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, and 0.2 and temperatures of T(n)=2500 K and T(n)=3000 K were employed for the study of the PAH formation and growth mechanism, and t...
