Structure and Reactivity: Acidity and Basicity
ثبت نشده
چکیده
For example, in the self-ionization of water we see that two water molecules collide to react and form a hydroxide ion and a hydronium ion. Each reaction begins first by an electrostatic attraction between an electron rich and an electron poor region of the reactants. Hydrogen bonding occurs between the electron deficient hydrogen of one water molecule with the electron rich oxygen of another water molecule. The products form as the electron from one O-H bond becomes a lone pair on oxygen. Additionally the lone pair on the oxygen of another water molecule becomes shared in a new O-H covalent bond.

Lewis Acidity/Basicity Changes in Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids Brought About by Impurities.
We herein report on the effect that water molecules, present as impurities, in the vicinity of an ionic liquid model structure, may induce on the Lewis acidity/basicity patterns normally observed in these materials. Depending on the position and orientation of water, the Lewis acidity/basicity pattern changes from "normal distribution" (i.e., the basicity located at the anion moiety and the aci...
متن کاملThe acidity/basicity of metal-containing ionic liquids: insights from surface analysis and the Fukui function.
Metal-containing ionic liquids (ILs) have been recognized as potential solvents, catalysts, catalyst precursors and reagents for many organic processes. In this work, several quantum-chemical parameters, including the surface electrostatic potential (Vs,max and Vs,min), the lowest surface average local ionization energy (I̅s,min), and the electrostatic potential at the position of an atom (EPnuc...

The electron donating properties, surface acidity/basicity and catalytic activity of lanthana for various dopaut concentrations of strontium are reported at two activation temperatures. The catalytic activity has been correlated with electron donating properties and surface acidity/basicity of the oxide.
متن کاملRegional electrophilic and nucleophilic Fukui functions efficiently highlight the Lewis acidic/basic regions in ionic liquids.
The origin of catalysis and selectivity induced by room temperature ionic liquids in several organic reactions has putatively been associated with the concept of cation effect (hydrogen bond donor ability of the ionic liquids) or anion effect (hydrogen bond accepting ability of the ionic liquids). We show that there may be cases where this a priori classification may not be correctly assigned. ...
متن کاملBase or nucleophile? DFT finally elucidates the origin of the selectivity between the competitive reactions triggered by MeLi or LDA on propanal.
The competition between basicity and nucleophilicity of two standard organolithium reagents was studied using DFT. Comparing the reactivity of solvated (MeLi)2 and (LDA)2 toward propanal finally explains why methyllithium adds onto the carbonyl while LDA deprotonates the α-position, in accord with experiment and Ireland's deprotonation TS.
