The geometric and electronic structures as well as the relative energies and thermal stabilities of various C24O2 isomers at the ground state have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G（d） level of theory. And the 1,4,2,5-C24O2 isomer was found to be the most stable geometry where two oxygen atoms were added to the longest carbon-carbon bonds in the same pentagon from a thermodynamic point of view. Based on the optimized neutral geometries, the vertical ionization potential and vertical electron affinity have been obtained. Meanwhile, the vibrational frequencies, IR spectrum, and 13C chemical shifts of various C24O2 isomers have been calculated and analyzed.展开更多

Density functional theory (DFT) has been applied to study the enantioselective reduction of 3-morpholin-4-yl-1-phenyl-1-propanone with borane catalyzed by (S)-4-benzyl-5,5- diphenyl-1,3,2-oxazaborolidine at the B3LY...Density functional theory (DFT) has been applied to study the enantioselective reduction of 3-morpholin-4-yl-1-phenyl-1-propanone with borane catalyzed by (S)-4-benzyl-5,5- diphenyl-1,3,2-oxazaborolidine at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. All molecular species involved in the four reaction steps have been fully optimized and the structural parameters are provided, and the micro process of reaction was also investigated. The catalyst-alkoxyborane adduct formed in step III exhibits a B-O-B-N tetra-atomic ring. Reaction coordination calculations show that BH3 can react with 3-morpholin-4-yl-1-phenyl-1-propanone spontaneously, resulting in the need of 2 mol BH3 in the reaction.展开更多

Two C60-1ike molecules C48N12 and C48B12 with rare Th symmetry have been reported here, which is an approach to seek for the molecule with rare Th symmetry. Their structural, electronic, vibrational, NMR, and thermodynamic properties have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G（d） level of theory. Vibrational modes have been assigned according to their symmetry. They all have 73 independent vibrational modes： 22 IR-active modes with Tu symmetry and 37 Raman-active modes with Ag, Eg and Tg symmetry, respectively. The heats of formation have been calculated using isodesmic reactions, and the values of C48N12 and C48B12 are 3812.0 and 3423.8 kJ mo1-1, respectively. According to the estimated band gaps for their fcc solid, they are all semiconducting materials, like C60, especially C48B12-based fcc solid.展开更多

Their equilibrium structures, thermal stabilities, electronic structures, vertical ionization potentials, vertical electron affinities, vibrational frequencies and 13C NMR chemical shifts have been studied. The calculation results showed that C36O18 isomers have higher LUMO-HOMO energy gaps than the fullerene C36 and should be more stable. Compared with C36, it is less possible for C36O18 to accept or donate electrons from reduced VEAs and enhanced VIPs. It has been found that C36O18 isomers are not aromatic at all or antiaromatic on analyzing the NICS values. The present study will encourage further theoretical and experimental analyses of this system in future.展开更多
