The calculated interaction energies with basis set super-position error correction of the four IXBs complexes are 218.87, 219.48, 159.18, and 143.05kJ/mol （MP2/6-311＋＋G（d, p））, respectively. The relative stabilities of the four complexes increased in the order： CH3＋ … BrCN〈CH3＋…- BrNC〈CH3＋… BrH≈CH3＋ …BrCCH. Natural bond orbital theory analysis and the chemical shifts calculation of the related atoms revealed that the charges flow from Br-Y to CH3e. Here, the Br of Br-Y acts as both a halogen bond donor and an electron donor. Therefore, compared with conventional halogen bonds, the IXBs complexes formed between Br-Y and CH3＋. Atoms-in-molecules theory has been used to investigate the topological properties of the critical points of the four IXBs structures which have more covalent content.展开更多

Based on the experimental data of the acute toxicity to Tetrahymena pyriformis （-lgEC_50）, three-parameter （energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital （E_LUMO）, the molecular volume （V）, and the lowest negative charge （Q_min）） dependent equations were developed using structural parameters as theoretical descriptors. Especially, -lgEC_50dependent equation calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G^＊＊ level is more advantageous than the others in view of their correlation and predictive abilities. This dependent equation was validated by variance inflation factors （VIF） and t-test methods. Upon comparison, the predictive abilities of our work are all more advantageous than those calculated from the semi-empirical PM3 method.展开更多

The molecular electrostatic potentials, geometrical parameters and interaction energy of halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes combined with natural bond orbital analysis are obtained. The results indicate that both halogen and hydrogen bonding interactions obey the order CI〈Br〈I, and hydrogen bonding is stronger than the corresponding halogen bond- ing. So, hydrogen bonding complexes should be dominant in trihalomethanes. However, it is possible that halogen bonding complex is competitive, even preponderant, in triiodomethane due to the similar interaction energy. This work might provide useful information on specific solvent effects as well as for understanding the mechanism of nitroxide radicals as a bioprobe to interact with the halogenated compounds in biological and biochemical fields.展开更多

Using B3LYP method of DFT in the Gaussian 03 program, we obtain the structural and thermodynamic descriptors of 16 halogenated benzenes by fully-optimized calculation at the 6-311G＊＊ level. Taking the structural and thermodynamic descriptors as theoretical descriptors, the 2D QSAR model （R2 = 0.983） was established, which can be utilized to predict -lgEC50 of halogenated benzene according to the corrected linear solvation energy theory based on the experimental data of-lgECs0. In addition, the relationship between the toxicity and 3D spatial structure of the compound is studied by comparing the molecular similarity index analysis （CoMSIA） of 3D-QSAR method. By cross validation, the correlation coefficient q2 of CoMSIA model is 0.687, and the conventional correlation coefficient R2 = 0.958. The model is stable and reliable with great predictive ability. The 3D-QSAR model shows that the toxicity of halogenated benzene compound is mainly affected by the characteristics of hydrophobie field of the substituted halogens.展开更多

The S. mutans biofilms were formed in a 24-well cell culture cluster. Test groups consisted of biofilms divided into four groups： group 1： no photosensitizer or light irradiation treatment （control group）; group 2： photosensitizer treatment alone; group 3： light irradiation alone; group 4： photosensitizer treatment and light irradiation. After treatments, the numbers of colony-forming unit （CFU） were counted and samples were examined by confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy （CLSM）. Only group 4 （combined treatment） resulted in significant increases in cell death, with rates of 75% and 55% after 8 h of incubation, and 74% and 42% at 12 h, for biofilms formed in brain-heart infusion （BHI） broth supplemented with 0% or O. 1% sucrose, respectively. Therefore, PDT of S. mutans biofilms using a combination of erythrosine and a dental halogen curing unit, both widely used in dental clinics, resulted in a significant increase in cell death. The PDT effects are decreased in biofilms that form in the presence of sucrose.展开更多

In the present study, geometrical optimization and electrostatic potential calculations have been performed for 42 halogenated anisoles at the HF/6-31 G^＊ level. A number of statistically based parameters have been obtained. By multiple regression method, linear relationships between the gas-chromatographic relative retention time （RRT） and structural descriptors have been established for the training set of 32 halogenated anisoles. The result showed that the parameters derived from electrostatic potentials （ESPs） together with the molecular volume （Vmc） could be well used to express the quantitative structure-RRT relationships of halogenated anisoles. The best two-variable regression model gives a correlation coefficient of 0.980 and a standard deviation of 0.07, and the leave-one-out cross-validated correlation coefficient is 0.975. The goodness of the model has been further validated through exploring the predictive power for the testing set of 10 halogenated anisoles.展开更多

A number of electrostatic potentials and the statistically based structural descriptors derived from these electrostatic potentials have been obtained. Multiple linear regression analysis and artificial neural network are employed simultaneously in this paper. The result shows that the parameters derived from electrostatic 2 potentials σtot^2, V s and ∑ Vs^＋, together with the molecular volume （Vine） can be used to express the quantitative structure-infinite dilution activity coefficients （γ^∞） relationship of halogenated hydrocarbons in water. The result also demonstrates that the model obtained by using BFGS quasiNewton neural network method has much better predictive capability than that from multiple linear regression. The goodness of the model has been validated through exploring the predictive power for the external test set. The model obtained via neural network may be applied to predict γ^∞ of other halogenated hydrocarbons not present in the data set.展开更多

However, the effect of size on the catalytic performance varies among different metal catalysts. In this study, sub-nano(<3 nm) Ir and Pd particles were prepared, and their catalytic properties for hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzene were evaluated.Results show that high selectivity(N 99%) was achieved over small Ir nanoparticles, in which the selectivity over the Pd with same size was much lower than that on Ir nanoparticles. Meanwhile, Ir and Pd have different hydrogen consumption rates and reaction rates. Density functional theory calculations showed that p-chloronitrobenzene(CNB) has different adsorption properties on Ir and Pd. The distance between oxygen(cholorine) and Ir is much shorter(longer) than that between oxygen and Pd. The reaction barriers of dechlorination of p-CNB and p-chloroaniline over different Ir models are much larger than those on Pd. Especially,lower coordination of Ir leads to larger barriers of dechlorination reaction. These theoretical results explain the difference between Ir and Pd on hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzene.展开更多

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were carded out to analyze the resultant structures. The electrochemical properties and solubility of [VRIM]Br were investigated and discussed in detail. The temperature dependence of pure [VRIM]Br over a wide temperature range of 298.15-323.15 K fitted the Arrhanius equation well. At certain low concentrations, the electrical conductivity of the [VRIM]Br solution significantly increased with increasing solution concentration. The electrical conductivities of the [VRIM]Br observed in water, methanol, and ethanol showed the trend σwater〉 σmethanol 〉σethanol Conductometry showed that the critical miceUe concentrations of the bromines in water, methanol, and ethanol were 6.8-6.9 × 10-6, 1.4-1.5 × 10-5, and 1.9-2.0×10-5 mol.L-1, respectively; these results indicate that [VRIM]Br is an excellent surfactant. The solubility of [VRIM]X in common solvents was determined at 293.15 K, and results indicated that a decrease in solubility could be observed with decreasing dielectric constant of the solvent, elongation of the alkyl chain of the cation, and increasing anion size. Solubility parameters were also determined according to the Hildebrand-Scoff equation.展开更多

Many properties including combination energy, optimum geometry structures and population analysis were calculated. It was shown that there was scarcely any change in the coronary structure of C4-Ala after combination with X. The electrons moved from halogen ions to C4-Ala during the combining process. Combination of C4-Ala with F was obviously stronger than that of Cl^- and Br. When the energy of C4-Ala-X was at minimum, the distances between halogen ions and the center of C4-Ala were 0.084 nm, 0.210 nm and 0.200 nm, respectively.展开更多

文摘Li-S batteries have aroused intense interests as one of the most promising high-energy-density storage technology.However,the complex undesired shuttle effect induced by dissolution and diffusion of lithium polysulfide intermediates remains the major setback of this technology.Chemical modification of carbon cathode through heteroatom-doping is widely accepted as an effective method to inhibit the shuttle effect in Li-S battery cathode.Herein,using first principle calculations,we systematically examined the interaction between halogenated graphene and lithium polysulfide species.It is found that the halogen dopants(F,Cl,Br,I)significantly modify the local electronic structure of adsorption site and further induce a polarization to trap the polysulfides.Interestingly,a concave curve is observed from F to I for lithium polysulfide adsorption rather than a linear relation.The exceptions demonstrated from iodine dopant is carefully analyzed and attributed to its unique charge state.Moreover,boron as second dopant further strengthens the interaction between halogenated graphene and polysulfide molecule.Based on halogenation strategy,lithium polysulfide/cathode interactions are tuned in a wide range,which can also be of great importance to accelerate redox reaction in Li-S battery.Overall,an effective method by halogenation is verified to regulate the adsorption of lithium polysulfide and also enhance the reaction kinetics of the Li-S battery system.

文摘Structural parameters of 22 halogen phenols were computed at four levels using Hartree-Fock and DFT methods. Based on the experimental data of the acute toxicity to Tetrahymena pyriformis （-lgEC_50）, three-parameter （energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital （E_LUMO）, the molecular volume （V）, and the lowest negative charge （Q_min）） dependent equations were developed using structural parameters as theoretical descriptors. Especially, -lgEC_50dependent equation calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G^＊＊ level is more advantageous than the others in view of their correlation and predictive abilities. This dependent equation was validated by variance inflation factors （VIF） and t-test methods. Upon comparison, the predictive abilities of our work are all more advantageous than those calculated from the semi-empirical PM3 method.

文摘The halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes and trihalomethanes （CHX3, X=C1, Br, I） are between 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-noxyl simulated by computational quantum chem- istry. The molecular electrostatic potentials, geometrical parameters and interaction energy of halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes combined with natural bond orbital analysis are obtained. The results indicate that both halogen and hydrogen bonding interactions obey the order CI〈Br〈I, and hydrogen bonding is stronger than the corresponding halogen bond- ing. So, hydrogen bonding complexes should be dominant in trihalomethanes. However, it is possible that halogen bonding complex is competitive, even preponderant, in triiodomethane due to the similar interaction energy. This work might provide useful information on specific solvent effects as well as for understanding the mechanism of nitroxide radicals as a bioprobe to interact with the halogenated compounds in biological and biochemical fields.

文摘In this paper we take photobacterium phosphoreum （T3） as the experimental bacteria, and determine the half-inhibitory concentration （-1gEC50） against the photobacterium phosphoreum of 16 halogenated benzenes. Using B3LYP method of DFT in the Gaussian 03 program, we obtain the structural and thermodynamic descriptors of 16 halogenated benzenes by fully-optimized calculation at the 6-311G＊＊ level. Taking the structural and thermodynamic descriptors as theoretical descriptors, the 2D QSAR model （R2 = 0.983） was established, which can be utilized to predict -lgEC50 of halogenated benzene according to the corrected linear solvation energy theory based on the experimental data of-lgECs0. In addition, the relationship between the toxicity and 3D spatial structure of the compound is studied by comparing the molecular similarity index analysis （CoMSIA） of 3D-QSAR method. By cross validation, the correlation coefficient q2 of CoMSIA model is 0.687, and the conventional correlation coefficient R2 = 0.958. The model is stable and reliable with great predictive ability. The 3D-QSAR model shows that the toxicity of halogenated benzene compound is mainly affected by the characteristics of hydrophobie field of the substituted halogens.

文摘The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy （PDT）, using erythrosine as a photosensitizing agent and a dental halogen curing unit as a light source, on Streptococcus mutans in a biofilm phase. The S. mutans biofilms were formed in a 24-well cell culture cluster. Test groups consisted of biofilms divided into four groups： group 1： no photosensitizer or light irradiation treatment （control group）; group 2： photosensitizer treatment alone; group 3： light irradiation alone; group 4： photosensitizer treatment and light irradiation. After treatments, the numbers of colony-forming unit （CFU） were counted and samples were examined by confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy （CLSM）. Only group 4 （combined treatment） resulted in significant increases in cell death, with rates of 75% and 55% after 8 h of incubation, and 74% and 42% at 12 h, for biofilms formed in brain-heart infusion （BHI） broth supplemented with 0% or O. 1% sucrose, respectively. Therefore, PDT of S. mutans biofilms using a combination of erythrosine and a dental halogen curing unit, both widely used in dental clinics, resulted in a significant increase in cell death. The PDT effects are decreased in biofilms that form in the presence of sucrose.

文摘Halogenated methyl-phenyl ethers （anisoles） are ubiquitous organic compounds in the environment. In the present study, geometrical optimization and electrostatic potential calculations have been performed for 42 halogenated anisoles at the HF/6-31 G^＊ level. A number of statistically based parameters have been obtained. By multiple regression method, linear relationships between the gas-chromatographic relative retention time （RRT） and structural descriptors have been established for the training set of 32 halogenated anisoles. The result showed that the parameters derived from electrostatic potentials （ESPs） together with the molecular volume （Vmc） could be well used to express the quantitative structure-RRT relationships of halogenated anisoles. The best two-variable regression model gives a correlation coefficient of 0.980 and a standard deviation of 0.07, and the leave-one-out cross-validated correlation coefficient is 0.975. The goodness of the model has been further validated through exploring the predictive power for the testing set of 10 halogenated anisoles.
文摘Geometrical optimization and electrostatic potential calculations have been performed for a series of halogenated hydrocarbons at the HF/Gen-6d level. A number of electrostatic potentials and the statistically based structural descriptors derived from these electrostatic potentials have been obtained. Multiple linear regression analysis and artificial neural network are employed simultaneously in this paper. The result shows that the parameters derived from electrostatic 2 potentials σtot^2, V s and ∑ Vs^＋, together with the molecular volume （Vine） can be used to express the quantitative structure-infinite dilution activity coefficients （γ^∞） relationship of halogenated hydrocarbons in water. The result also demonstrates that the model obtained by using BFGS quasiNewton neural network method has much better predictive capability than that from multiple linear regression. The goodness of the model has been validated through exploring the predictive power for the external test set. The model obtained via neural network may be applied to predict γ^∞ of other halogenated hydrocarbons not present in the data set.
文摘Cis-trans isomerization of [9]-annulenanion（1） and its 2-fluoro-,2-chloro-and 2-bromo-derivatives（2,3 and 4,respectively） were investigated at the HF/6-31G＊ and B3LYP/6-311＋＋G＊＊ levels of theory.Cis,cis,cis,cis structures appear more stable than their corresponding cis,cis,cis,trans-isomers.The relative height of energy barriers for cis-trans isomerization is：2cis 〉1cis 〉3cis〉 4cis.This trend for the reverse trans-cis isomerization follows the electronegativity of the substituent at C-2（2trans 3trans 4trans 1trans）.

文摘Coordination tuning electronic structure of host materials is a quite effective strategy for activating and improving the intrinsic properties.Herein,halogen anion(X-)-incorporated β-FeOOH(β-FeOOH(X),X=F-,Cl-,and Br-) was investigated with a spontaneous adsorption process,which realized a great improvement of supercapacitor performances by adjusting the coordination geometry.Experiments coupled with theoretical calculations demonstrated that the change of Fe-O bond length and structural distortion of β-FeOOH,which is rooted in halogen ions embedment,led to the relatively narrow band gap.Because of the strong electronegativity of X-,the Fe element in β-FeOOH(X)s presented the unexpected high valence state(3+δ),which is facilitating to adsorb S032-species.Consequently,the designed β-FeOOH(X)s exhibited the good electric conductivity and enhanced the contact between electrode and electrolyte.When used as a negative electrode,the β-FeOOH(F) showed the excellent specific capacity of 391.9 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 current density,almost tenfold improvement compared with initial β-FeOOH,with the superior rate capacity and cyclic stability.This combinational design principle of electronic structure and electrochemical performances provides a promising way to develop advanced electrode materials for supercapacitor.

文摘The selective hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzene over noble metal catalysts(Pd, Pt, and Ir) has attracted much attention owing to its high efficiency and environmental friendliness. However, the effect of size on the catalytic performance varies among different metal catalysts. In this study, sub-nano(<3 nm) Ir and Pd particles were prepared, and their catalytic properties for hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzene were evaluated.Results show that high selectivity(N 99%) was achieved over small Ir nanoparticles, in which the selectivity over the Pd with same size was much lower than that on Ir nanoparticles. Meanwhile, Ir and Pd have different hydrogen consumption rates and reaction rates. Density functional theory calculations showed that p-chloronitrobenzene(CNB) has different adsorption properties on Ir and Pd. The distance between oxygen(cholorine) and Ir is much shorter(longer) than that between oxygen and Pd. The reaction barriers of dechlorination of p-CNB and p-chloroaniline over different Ir models are much larger than those on Pd. Especially,lower coordination of Ir leads to larger barriers of dechlorination reaction. These theoretical results explain the difference between Ir and Pd on hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzene.

文摘Several 1-vinyl-3-alkylimidazolium halogens [VRIM]X, which are functional materials with ethylenic bonds, were synthesized using the microwave-assisted synthesis method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were carded out to analyze the resultant structures. The electrochemical properties and solubility of [VRIM]Br were investigated and discussed in detail. The temperature dependence of pure [VRIM]Br over a wide temperature range of 298.15-323.15 K fitted the Arrhanius equation well. At certain low concentrations, the electrical conductivity of the [VRIM]Br solution significantly increased with increasing solution concentration. The electrical conductivities of the [VRIM]Br observed in water, methanol, and ethanol showed the trend σwater〉 σmethanol 〉σethanol Conductometry showed that the critical miceUe concentrations of the bromines in water, methanol, and ethanol were 6.8-6.9 × 10-6, 1.4-1.5 × 10-5, and 1.9-2.0×10-5 mol.L-1, respectively; these results indicate that [VRIM]Br is an excellent surfactant. The solubility of [VRIM]X in common solvents was determined at 293.15 K, and results indicated that a decrease in solubility could be observed with decreasing dielectric constant of the solvent, elongation of the alkyl chain of the cation, and increasing anion size. Solubility parameters were also determined according to the Hildebrand-Scoff equation.

文摘The ever-increasing demand for rechargeable batteries with high energy density,abundant resources,and high safety has pushed the development of various battery technologies based on cation,anion,or dual-ion transfer.The use of halogen storage electrode materials has led to new concept battery systems such as halide-ion batteries(HIB)and dual-ion batteries(DIB).This review highlights the recent progress on these electrode materials,including metal(oxy)halides,layered double hydroxides,MXenes,graphite-based materials,and organic materials with carbon or nitrogen redox centers.The reversible electrochemical halogen storage of halide ions(e.g.,F^(−),Cl^(−),and Br^(−)),dual halogen(e.g.,Br_(m)Cl_(n) and [ICl_(2)]^(−)),or binary halide anions(e.g.,PF_(6)^(−),AlCl_(4)^(−),[ZnCl_(x)]^(2−x),and [MgCl_(x)]^(2−x)) in the electrodes is covered.The challenges and mechanisms of halogen storage in various electrode materials in HIBs and DIBs are summarized and analyzed,providing insights into the development of high-performance halogen storage electrode materials for rechargeable batteries.
文摘The density functional theory based hybrid-method B3LYP was used to investigate the interaction of the halogen ions with crown tetraalanylpeptide which was the coronary structures of homodetic cyclotetraalapeptide and was represented as the model basic. Many properties including combination energy, optimum geometry structures and population analysis were calculated. It was shown that there was scarcely any change in the coronary structure of C4-Ala after combination with X. The electrons moved from halogen ions to C4-Ala during the combining process. Combination of C4-Ala with F was obviously stronger than that of Cl^- and Br. When the energy of C4-Ala-X was at minimum, the distances between halogen ions and the center of C4-Ala were 0.084 nm, 0.210 nm and 0.200 nm, respectively.
