The conformational behaviour of methylenecy- clohexanes revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conformational analyses on 2-substituted (methoxy, vinyloxy, and acetoxy) methylenecyclohexanes have been performed computationally with HF, B3LYP, PBE0, and MP2 and the 6-31G(d) basis set. The global minimum for the methoxy substituent is an axial conformer. For the vinyloxy substituent, except with PBE0, an axial conformer is determined as the global minimum. The acetoxy substituent prefers the equatorial orientation. This sequence is in keeping with the operation of an “unsaturation effect” in addition to an anomeric effect. For a full conformational analysis, torsional potentials for the substituents have been generated, which show further low-energy minima, which affect the equilibrium composition. In general, axial conformers dominate the equilibria. To reproduce the experimentally observed predominance of equatorial conformers for vinyloxy and acetoxy substituents, PBE0 has to be employed. CSGT isotropic shielding tensors at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level have been employed for comparison with experimentally observed 13C chemical shifts.

COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF SOLVATOCHROMISM BEHAVIOUR OF COPPER(I1) AND NICKEL(I1) SCHIFF BASE COMPLEXES
A series of Schiff Bases of Ni(II) and Cu(II) using acetylacetone (acac), salicylaldehyde (sal), ethylenediamine (en), and o-phenylendiarnine (dabe) were prepared and characterized. The electronic spectra of some copper chelates in various organic solvents depend strongly on the solvent used and the d-d band of Cu(II) shifts to red with the increase of the Donor Number (DN) of solvent. The ...

In this research, we report the results of DFT calculations using xc-hybrid functional, B3LYP and employ NBO interpretation to investigate the stereoelectronic effects. Electrostatic and steric impacts on the conformational properties of 1,2-difluorodiazene (1), 1,2-dichlorodiazene (2) and 1,2-dibromodiazene (3) are also studied. Factors determining the thermodynamically stable molecular struct...
متن کاملQUICKSELECT Revisited
We give an overview of the running time analysis of the random divide-and-conquer algorithm FIND or QUICKSELECT. The results concern moments, distribution of FIND’s running time, the limiting distribution, a stochastic bound and the key: a stochastic fixed point equation.
