Hunting dimers

چکیده
HBCBH and HAlCAlH are related electrondeficient molecules, predicted as local minima on their respective potential energy surfaces. Different views of their electronic structure—as allenes, carbenes, or carbones—prompted two research groups to a friendly competition exploring the predilection of these small molecules to dimerize. Many such dimers emerged from the calculations, some with large enthalpies favoring dimerization. Most interesting among these is an octahedral didehydrocarborane (or alane). The menagerie of (HECEH)2, E = B, Al structures obtained shows great variety in its bonding patterns. That variety is instructive, for it points to the necessity of examining dimerization for any theoretically postulated metastable molecule. We also learn of the continuing utility of simple Lewis structures, the acid–base reactivity of carbones and carbenes, and the dominant role of electron deficiency in borane and alane chemistry.

DFT Application to the Analysis of Quadrupole Coupling Constant of Aluminum Methyl Chloride Dimers
The analysis of the 27Al and 35Cl quadrupole coupling parameters of aluminum methyl chloride dimers were carried out on the basis of the density functional theory (DFT). The available experimental values of quarupole coupling constants were compared with their calculated ones. In this investigation, the correlations were made between calculated 27Al and 35Cl nuclear quadrupole coupling constant...
متن کاملDFT study of dimers of dimethyl sulfoxide in gas phase
Density functional (DFT) calculations at M05-2x/aug-cc-pVDZ level were used to analyze the interactions between dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) dimers. The structures obtained have been analyzed with the Atoms in Molecules (AIMs) and Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) methodologies. Four minima were located on the potential energy surface of the dimers. Three types of interactions are observed, CH•••O, CH•••...

In the title compound, C21H16BrNO3, the mean planes of the anthracene tricycle and isoxazole ring are inclined to each other at a dihedral angle of 72.12 (7)°. The carb-oxy group is slightly out of the isoxazole mean plane, with a maximum deviation of 0.070 (5) Å for the carbonyl O atom. In the crystal, pairs of weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into dimers, and weak C-H⋯N inter-act...

Hunting is a familiar phenomenon for human being, and appearance of “Hunting Motif” on the carpets in Iran, according to the remaining documents, can be dated back to the Safavid era,i.e. the Golden Age of Iranian Carpet. In this period, carpet-weaving elevated to the degree of excellent royal art, and carpet became a luxury, decorative and even commercial commodity. The nature and ...

Hunting was one of the most important aspects of human life in ancient times; when human considered hunting as an aspect of his own subsistence strategy and his life was dependant on it. As time goes by, the importance of this subsistence aspect reduces; so that special places were considered as a hunting ground for entertainment. With the arrival of Islam in Iran, this process continued ...
