Thermodynamic stabilization energy-level

The activation energies were computed to 3.0 (toward 183), 0.3 (toward 182), and 21.8 kcal/mol (toward 184) at the B3-LYP/6-31G level, and thus the mechanism leading to 182 is the preferred one. The transition states of all three reactions belong to concerted but asynchronous reaction paths. The transacetalization of 177 with acylium cations results in the formation of the thermodynamically stabilized 187 (Scheme 121) [97JCS(P2)2105]. 186 is less stable than 187, and 185 is destabilized by 32.5 kcal/mol. Moreover, transacetalization of 177 with sulfinyl cations is not a general reaction. Further computational studies on dioxanes cover electrophilic additions to methylenedioxanes [98JCS(P2)1129] and the influence... 

The thermodynamic stability is a feature unique to each of the individual crystal structures of a chemical compound. Transforming an unstable modification into a stable one may require a certain amount of activation energy, but the process always offers an ultimate energetic advantage. Energy levels may vary considerably between pigments and even between crystal modifications. 

Perhaps a more fundamental application of crystal field spectral measurements, and the one that heralded the re-discovery of crystal field theory by Orgel in 1952, is the evaluation of thermodynamic data for transition metal ions in minerals. Energy separations between the 3d orbital energy levels may be deduced from the positions of crystal field bands in an optical spectrum, malting it potentially possible to estimate relative crystal field stabilization energies (CFSE s) of the cations in each coordination site of a mineral structure. These data, once obtained, form the basis for discussions of thermodynamic properties of minerals and interpretations of transition metal geochemistry described in later chapters. 

According to the JTH scheme, the calculated RE and REPE values are listed in Table 8. Encouragingly, our VB RE values bear an excellent linear correlation with the delocalization energies obtained by Wiberg [59] at the B3LYP/6-311G level (the correlation coefficient=0.994) for the first four members of polyacene and polyphenanthrene series, respectively. Thus it appears that the VB RE is a good measure of the thermodynamic stability for isomeric BHs. 

The second chapter deals with quantum chemical considerations, s, p, d and f orbitals, electronic configurations, Pauli s principle, spin-orbit coupling and levels, energy level diagrams, Hund s mles, Racah parameters, oxidation states, HSAB principle, coordination number, lanthanide contraction, interconfiguration fluctuations. This is followed by a chapter dealing with methods of determination of stability constants, stability constants of complexes, thermodynamic consideration, double-double effect, inclined w plot, applications of stability constant data. 

Quantitative estimates of the thermodynamic stabilities of various phenyl and cyclopropyl substituted cyclopropenium ions were carried out by their p R+ measurements. ThepXR+ values for 1,2,3-tricyclopropylcyclopropenium, l,2-dicyclopropyl-3-phenylcy-clopropenium ion and 1 -cyclopropyl-2,3-diphenylcyclopropenium ion were determined to be 10.0, 7.09 and 5.04, respectively. Thus, replacement of each phenyl group by a cyclopropyl group enhances the stability of the carbocation by two pATr+ units (2.74 kcalmoT ). These results were also supported by the isodesmic reaction of equation 72 for which the energies were optimized at the HF/3-21G //HF/3-21G level ...
