Bond energies calculation

Once the BEs and SBEs have been decided upon, the normal functioning of the MM program causes each bond to be multiplied by the number of times it appears in the computed molecule to find its contribution to the total bond enthalpy. In ethylene, 26.43 + 4(—4.59) = 8.07kcalmol . In Eile Segment 5-1, this sum is denoted BE. This whole procedure is essentially a conventional bond energy calculation.

The first-row homonuclear diatomic molecules A2 of main-group elements (A = B, C, N, O, F) exhibit a well-known diversity of ground-state multiplicities, bond lengths, and bond energies. Calculated potential-energy curves for low-lying singlet and triplet states of these species are pictured in Fig. 3.27 and summarized in Table 3.13 (with comparison experimental values). Because these homonuclear...

Admittedly, things have not been easy. But now we can benefit from the beauty of simplicity and learn about one unique kind of atomic charge rooted in quantum theory the only ones that satisfy highly accurate correlations with experimental NMR shift results and that are at the same time directly applicable to bond energy calculations. 

Simple bond energy calculations show that 2H- 1,2-oxazines and -thiazines are unstable relative to the corresponding open chain iminoaldehydes and iminothioaldehydes, and thus they only find expression in the form of transient species. Early claims for the synthesis of 2H- 1,2-oxazines have not been authenticated, and, for example, the reaction between 4-nitrosodimethylaniline and tetracyclone does not give the oxazine (1) as was once thought, but rather the isomeric lactam (2), although it is likely that the oxazine is formed as an intermediate (Scheme 1) (64TL1569).

The F+H (16) structure is expected to be very minor but is nevertheless added for completeness. Table 3 displays the optimal bond lengths and bonding energies calculated at various theoretical levels, in the 6-31+G basis set and in an additional basis set comparable in quality to the one used by Bauschlicher and Taylor [32]. 

The (H3C CH3)+ radical cation was selected, to test the ability of the BOVB method to describe one-electron bonds, since this bond exhibits the largest correlation effect in the series. The bonding energy, calculated at the D-BOVB level, amounts to 48.7 kcal/mol, in fair agreement with the MP4 value. 

The bond energy of H to Ni surface calculated according to this procedure does not show a minimum as a function of H—Ni distance. This is a weakness of the noniterative EH procedure and requires calculated bond energies to be taken at a Ni—H distance equal to the sum of the atomic radii. The covalent bond energy calculated in this manner is 2 eV for most surfaces and compares well with the experimental value of 2.9 eV. 

Using the table of bond energies, calculate AH values for the following reactions. 

Another kind of indirect evidence is that provided by the way in which bond energies calculated on various assumptions about Lq fit into schemes connecting bond energy with length and other properties. This type of evidence seems to the present author easily to lead to circular arguments, and it will not be discussed further here.

All this could be taken as evidence for the tt bonding in d tetrahedral configuration. On the other hand, the force constant of Ni-C in tetra-carbonylnickel (2.1-2.5 mdyne/A.) Ill, 179) was found to be similar to the M-C force constant in Ge(CH3)4, Sn(CH3)4, and Zn(CH3)2, which is about 2.5 mdyne/A. 36). Taking three as the bond order in pure carbon monoxide, the C-0 bond order in tetracarbonylnickel is 2.64 and that of Ni-C bond only 1.33—much less than it is usually considered 179). The thermochemical data show too, apparently, that the M-C bond order in Ni(CO)4 is less than in Fe(CO)5 and Cr(CO)e. In fact, the bond energies, calculated with respect to the spin-coupled valence states, are CrC 55, FeC 58, and NiC 46 kcal./mole 177). 

Given the following values for the relevant bond energies, calculate the relative... 

Two moles of C—C bonds and seven moles of C—H bonds are the same before and after reaction, so we do not need to include them in the bond energy calculation. The only reactant bonds that are broken are one mole of C—H bonds and one mole of Cl—Cl bonds. On the product side, the only new bonds formed are one mole of C—Cl bonds and one mole of H—Cl bonds. We need to take into account only the bonds that are different on the two sides of the equation. As before, we add and subtract the appropriate bond energies, using values from Table 15-2. 

It is important that they need not represent any feasible mechanism for the reaction but can be any steps for which AH values are available from experiment or theory. Hess Law is frequently used to estimate AH values that are not directly accessible, for example, in connection with lattice energy and bond energy calculations (see Topics D6 and C8).
