The infrared and polarized Raman spectra of the trigonal Li(6)P(6)O(18).3H(2)O crystal are reported. The results are analysed using several group theory approaches, in terms of internal and external modes of the highly symmetric P(6)O(18) cyclophosphoric ring and water molecules. Equilibrium geometries and vibrational spectra of P(6)O(18) units, free and in interaction with water molecules (P(6)O(18).3H(2)O) have been determined by ab initio calculations using the basis set 6-31+G(d) of Hartree Fock method. Experimental frequencies and polarisation conditions are remarkably consistent with ab initio calculations. A detailed description of the normal modes of vibration of these systems is presented.

Dinitrogen Activation: A Novel Approach with P/B Intermolecular FLP.

This study explores the reactivity of a new intermolecular P/B frustrated Lewis pair in the context of dinitrogen activation through a push-pull mechanism. The ab initio molecular dynamics model known as atom-centered density matrix propagation plays a pivotal role in elucidating the weakly associated encounter complex. In-depth analysis, mainly through intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations, supports a single-step mechanism.

The linear vibronic coupling (LVC) model is an approach for approximating how a molecular Hamiltonian changes in response to small changes in molecular geometry. The LVC framework thus has the ability to approximate molecular Hamiltonians at low computational expense but with quality approaching multiconfigurational calculations, when the change in geometry compared to the reference calculation used to parametrize it is small. Here, we show how the LVC approach can be used to project approximate spin Hamiltonians of a solvated lanthanide complex along a room-temperature molecular dynamics trajectory.

A new [DyBiOCl(saph)] () Werner-type cluster has been prepared, which is the first Dy/Bi polynuclear compound with no metal-metal bond and one of the very few Ln-Bi (Ln = lanthanide) heterometallic complexes reported to date. The molecular compound has been deliberately transformed to its 1-D analogue [DyBiO(N)(saph)] () via the replacement of the terminal Cl ions by end-to-end bridging N groups. The overall metallic skeleton of (and ) can be described as consisting of a diamagnetic {Bi} unit with an elongated trigonal bipyramidal topology, surrounded by a magnetic {Dy} equilateral triangle, which does not contain μ-oxo/hydroxo/alkoxo groups.

Combustion and pyrolysis processes of allene and propyne are known to involve radicals with the structural formula CH, the most stable of which is the classic resonance-stabilized allyl radical. In addition to allyl, four other isomers of CH are possible: the propene derivatives -1-propenyl, -1-propenyl, and 2-propenyl, as well as the cyclopropane derivative cyclopropyl. Among these 5 species, the allyl radical has been extensively studied both theoretically and spectroscopically; however, little is known about the spectroscopy of the cyclopropyl radical, and virtually no experimental spectroscopic data are available for the remaining three.

The fundamental hydrolysis behavior of tetravalent actinide cations (An) with a high charge is crucial for understanding their solution chemistry, particularly in nuclear fuel reprocessing and environmental behavior. Using Th as a reference of the An series, this work employed both the periodic model and the cluster model to calculate the first hydrolysis reaction constant (p) of the Th aqua ion and conducted a detailed evaluation of these approaches. In the periodic model, molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations of Th in the explicit solvation environment are conducted, using metadynamics and constrained molecular dynamics to calculate p values.
