Equilibrium Size of Large Ring Molecules
نویسنده
چکیده
The equilibrium properties of isolated ring molecules were investigated using an off-lattice model with no excluded volume but with dynamics that preserve the topological class. Using an efficient set of long range moves, chains of more than 2000 monomers were studied. Despite the lack of any excluded volume interaction, the radius of gyration scaled like that of a self avoiding walk, as had been previously conjectured. However this scaling was only seen for chains greater than 500 monomers.

[n]Sila-acenes (n=2-4): The Influence of Ring Size on the Properties
The structures and properties of [n]sila-acenes (n=2-4) were investigated by density functional theory method. The results of calculations were obtained at B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) level on model species. Energetic criteria suggest that 2-1b (n=2), 3-1b (n=3), and 4-1b (n=4) isomers enjoy stabilization. By frontier orbital analysis, these systems are among the most stable of the family. Also, calcula...

Creating pharmacophor models in order to design new molecules or search a library for finding lead compounds is of great interest. This approach reduces the overall cost ass...
متن کاملA theoretical study on halogen-π interactions: X-C2-Y…C8H8 complexes
M06-2X functional was employed to study halogen-π interactions in X-C2-Y…C8H8 complexes (X, Y=H, F, Cl, and Br). In fact, interactions of mono- or di-halogenated acetylenes and planar cyclooctatetraene as an anti-aromatic π system were considered. Relationship between binding energies of the complexes and charge transfer effects was investigated. Also, electronic charge density values were calc...
متن کاملMolecular machines: knowledge is power!
T he molecular ratchet is a seductive concept for nanoscientists. If particles can be made to travel past a barrier in just one direction, pressure will build at the receiving end, which can, in principle, be used to perform useful work. A springloaded one-way gate that fast-moving molecules can push open and pass through would be especially attractive. Th e energy needed to create the pressure...
