Theoretical investigation of some O-nitrosyl carboxylate biologic molecules——A natural bond orbital study

Theoretical study of several O-nitrosyl carboxylate compounds have been performed using quantum computational ab initio RHF and density functional B3LYP and B3PW91 methods with 6-31G^(**) basis set.Geometries obtained from DFT calculations were used to perform the natural bond orbital(NBO)analysis.It is noted that weakness in the O_(3)-N_(2) bond is due to nO_(1)→σO_(3)-N_(2) delocalization and is responsible for the longer O_(3)-N_(2) bond lengths in O-nitrosyl carboxylate compounds.It is also noted that decreased occupancy of the localized σO_(3)-N_(2) orbital in the idealized Lewis structure,or increased occupancy of σO_(3)-N_(2) of the non-Lewis orbital,and their subsequent impact on molecular stability and geometry(bond lengths)are related with the resulting p character of the corresponding sulfur natural hybrid orbital(NHO)of σ_(O_(3)-N_(2)) bond orbital.In addition,the charge transfer energy decreases with the increase of the Hammett constants of subsitutent groups.

Non-additivity of Methyl Group in the Single-electron Lithium Bond of H3C… Li-H Complex

The non-additivity of the methyl groups in the single-electron lithium bond was investigated using ab initio calculations at the B3LYP/6-311＋＋G＊＊ and UMP2/6-311＋＋G＊＊ levels. The strength of the interaction in the H3C… LiH, H3CH2C… LiH, （H3C）2HC… LiH, and u v （H3C）3C… LiH complexes was analyzed in term of the geometries, energies, frequency shifts, stabilization energies, charges, and topological parameters. It is shown that （H3C）3C radical with LiH forms the strongest single-electron lithium bond, followed by （H3C）2HC radical, then H3CH2C radical, and H3C radical forms the weakest single-electron lithium bond. A positive non-additivity is present among methyl groups. Natural bond orbital and atoms in molecules analyses were used to estimate such conclusions. Furthermore, there are few linear/nonlinear relationships in the system and the interaction mode of single-electron Li- bond is different from the single-electron H-bond and single-electron halogen bond.

Halogen Bonding or Hydrogen Bonding between 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl- piperidine-noxyl Radical and Trihalomethanes CHX3 （X=CI, Br, I）

The halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes and trihalomethanes （CHX3, X=C1, Br, I） are between 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-noxyl simulated by computational quantum chem- istry. The molecular electrostatic potentials, geometrical parameters and interaction energy of halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes combined with natural bond orbital analysis are obtained. The results indicate that both halogen and hydrogen bonding interactions obey the order CI〈Br〈I, and hydrogen bonding is stronger than the corresponding halogen bond- ing. So, hydrogen bonding complexes should be dominant in trihalomethanes. However, it is possible that halogen bonding complex is competitive, even preponderant, in triiodomethane due to the similar interaction energy. This work might provide useful information on specific solvent effects as well as for understanding the mechanism of nitroxide radicals as a bioprobe to interact with the halogenated compounds in biological and biochemical fields.

Hydrogen-bonding Interaction of 1,2,3-triazine-waters Complexes

Density functional theory B3LYP method with 6-31＋＋G＊＊ basis was used to optimize the geometries of the ground states for 1,2,3-triazine-（H2O）n（n=1,2,3） complexes.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on a double hydrogen-bonded dimer of o-hydroxybenzoic acid were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. The optimized geometry of the dimer closely resembles that of the crystal.

In order to probe the origin of the interactions in the dimer, natural bond orbital analyses were performed. The thermodynamic properties of the title compound at different temperatures have also been calculated on the basis of vibrational analyses and ?GT, the change of Gibbs free energy for the aggregation from monomer to the dimmer, is 26.47 kJ/mol at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa, implying the spontaneous process of forming the dimer. The correlation graphics of S0m, H0m and temperatures is depicted.

Structure and Vibrational Spectroscopy of 2-Methylallyl Alcohol

The intramolecular O−H…πhydrogen bond has garnered significant research interest in recent decades.In this work,we utilized the infrared(IR)-vacuum-ultraviolet(VUV)nonresonant ionization detected IR spectroscopy(NRID-IR)method to study the molecular structure of neutral and cationic 2-methylallyl alcohol(MAA,CH_(2)=C(CH_(3))−CH_(2)−OH).Density functional theory calculations revealed five stable neutral and three stable cationic MAA conformers,respectively.Two neutral MAA conformers are expected to have an O−H…πintramolecular hydrogen bond interaction,based on the structural characterization that the OH group is directed toward the C=C double bond.The IR spectra of both neutral(2700−3700 cm^(−1))and cationic MAA(2500−7200 cm^(−1))were measured,and the anharmonic IR spectra were calculated at the B3LYP-D3(BJ)/def2-TZVPP level.The OH stretching vibration frequency of neutral MAA was observed at 3656 cm−1,slightly lower than those of methanol and ethanol.In contrast,the OH stretching vibration of cationic MAA was red-shifted by about 140 cm^(−1)compared to neutral MAA.The interaction region indicator and natural bond orbital analysis suggest that the O−H…πinteraction in neutral MAA is weak,and may not play a major role in stabilizing the neutral MAA.

Ab initio Study on Ionization Energies of 3-Amino-1-propanol

Fourteen conformers of 3-amino-1-propanol as the minima on the potential energy surface are examined at the MP2/6-311＋＋G＊＊ level. Their relative energies calculated at B3LYP, MP3 and MP4 levels of theory indicated that two most stable conformers display the intramolecular OH - N hydrogen bonds. The vertical ionization energies of these conformers calculated with ab initio electron propagator theory in the P3/aug-cc-pVTZ approximation are in agreement with experimental data from photoelectron spectroscopy. Natural bond orbital analyses were used to explain the differences of IEs of the highest occupied molecular ortibal of conformers. Combined with statistical mechanics principles, conformational distributions at various temperatures are obtained and the temperature dependence of photoelectron spectra is interpreted.

Ab initio Study of Hyperconjugative Effect on Electronic Wavefunctions of 2-chloroethanol

The electronic structure of five conformers of 2-chloroethanol was studied by ab initio calculations at B3LYP and MP2 levels of theory with aug-cc-pVTZ basis set. The existing hydrogen bond and hyperconjugation effects on the stability of 2-chloroethanol conformers were discussed on the base of natural bond orbital analyses. The result exhibits that hyperconjugation is the main factor to determine the stability of conformers. Such effects on the electron wavefunctions of the highest-occupied molecular orbital （HOMO） of different conformers are demonstrated with electron momentum spectroscopy, exhibiting the obviously different symmetries of the HOMO wavefunctions in momentum space.
