For 80 sorts of 1,4- disubstituted benzenes, the correlation coefficient was 0.9805, and the standard deviation was only 672.27 cm^-1. The results imply that the excited-state substituent constant can be used productively for research on UV energy of 1,4-disubstituted benzenes. The present method provides a new avenue to study the UV absorption spectra of aromatic systems with the excited-state substituent constant, and it is helpful to understand the effect of substituent electrostatic effects on the chemical and physical properties of conjugated compounds with multiple substituents in excited state.展开更多

The main content is as follows： （1） The principle of electronegativity equalization has gained wide acceptance, and has been used to calculate the intramolecular charge distribution and inductive effect of groups.

This new calculation method further extended the application of the principle of electronegativity equalization. （2） A scale method was established for experimentally determining the electrophilic and nucleophilic ability of reagents, in which benzhydryliumions and quinone methides were taken as the reference compounds, and the research field was extended to the gas phase conditions, organometallic reaction and radicals system. Moreover, the nucleophilicity parameters N and electro- philicity parameters E for a series of reagents were obtained. The definition and quantitative expression of electrophilicity in- dex co and nucleophilicity index co were proposed theoretically, and the correlation between the parameters from experimental determination and the indexes from theoretical calculation was also investigated. （3） The polarizability effect parameter was initially calculated by empirical method and further developed by quantum chemistry method.

The substituent effects on the E（Red） of target compounds were analyzed and an optimality equation with four parameters （Hammett constant a of X, Hammett constant a of Y, excited-state substituent constant σexCC of X, and the substituent specific cross-interaction effect △σexCC2 between X and Y） was obtained. The results show that the factors affecting the E（Red） of 3,4＇/4,31/3,3P-substituted XBAYs are different from those of 4,4＇-substituted XBAYs. For 3,4＇/4,3＇/3,3＇-substituted XBAYs, σ（X） and σ（Y） must be employed, and the contribution of △σexCC2 is important and not negligible. Compared with 4,4＇-substituted XBAYs, X group contributes less to 3,4＇/4,3＇/3,3＇-substituted XBAYs, while Y group contributes more to them. Additionally, it was observed that either para-substituted XBAYs or meta-substituted XBAYs, the substituent effects of X are larger than those of Y on the E（Red） of substituted XBAYs.展开更多

文摘Effects of meta-substituent of 3,4＇/4,3＇/3,3＇-substituted benzylideneanilines （XBAYs） on the electrochemical reduction potentials （E（Red）） were investigated, in which 49 samples of target compounds were synthesized, and their reduction potentials were measured by cyclic voltammetry. The substituent effects on the E（Red） of target compounds were analyzed and an optimality equation with four parameters （Hammett constant a of X, Hammett constant a of Y, excited-state substituent constant σexCC of X, and the substituent specific cross-interaction effect △σexCC2 between X and Y） was obtained. The results show that the factors affecting the E（Red） of 3,4＇/4,31/3,3P-substituted XBAYs are different from those of 4,4＇-substituted XBAYs. For 3,4＇/4,3＇/3,3＇-substituted XBAYs, σ（X） and σ（Y） must be employed, and the contribution of △σexCC2 is important and not negligible. Compared with 4,4＇-substituted XBAYs, X group contributes less to 3,4＇/4,3＇/3,3＇-substituted XBAYs, while Y group contributes more to them. Additionally, it was observed that either para-substituted XBAYs or meta-substituted XBAYs, the substituent effects of X are larger than those of Y on the E（Red） of substituted XBAYs.
