A comparative molecular dynamics study of diffusion of n-decane and 3-methyl pentane in Y zeolite

Molecular dynamics simulations are reported on the structure and dynamics of n-decane and 3-methylpentane in zeolite NaY. We have calculated several properties such as the center of mass-center of mass rdf, the end-end distance distribution, bond angle distribution and dihedral angle distribution. We have also analysed trajectory to obtain diffusivity and velocity autocorrelation function (VACF). Surprisingly, the diffusivity of 3-methylpentane which is having larger cross-section perpendicular to the long molecular axis is higher than n-decane at 300 K. Activation energies have been obtained from simulations performed at 200 K, 300 K, 350 K, 400 K and 450 K in the NVE ensemble. These results can be understood in terms of the previously known levitation effect. Arrhenious plot has higher value of slope for n-decane (5 center dot 9 kJ/mol) than 3-methylpentane (3 center dot 7 kJ/mol) in agreement with the prediction of levitation effect.

Self-Assembly of a Pd-6-Molecular Double-Square and a Cu-3-Trigonalbipyramidal Cage via a New Tripodal Flexible Ligand

A new tripodal flexible ligand (L) containing pyrazolyl functionality has been prepared and successfully used to obtain a pd(6) (1) molecular double-square and a cu(3) trigonalbipyramidal cage (2), where complex 1 represents the first example of a double-square obtained using a flexible tripodal ligand.

Cu-II-Azide Polymers of Cu-3 and Cu-6 Building Units: Synthesis,Structures, and Magnetic Exchange Mechanism

Two new neutral copper-azido polymers [Cu-3(N-3)(6)(tmen)(2)](n)(1)and [Cu-6(N-3)(12)(deen)(2)](n) (2) [tmen = N,N,N, N-tetramethylethylenediamine and deen = N,N-diethylethylenediamine] have been synthesized by using lower molar equivalents of the chelating diamine ligands with Cu(NO3)(2)center dot 3H(2)O and an excess of NaN3. The single crystal X-ray structure shows that in the basic unit of the 1D complex 1, the three Cu-II ions are linked by double end-on azido bridges with Cu-N-EO-Cu angles on both sides of the magnetic exchange critical angle of 108 degrees. Complex 2 is a 3D framework of a basic u-6 cluster. Cryomagnetic susceptibility measurements over a wide range of temperature exhibit dominant ferromagnetic behavior in both the complexes. Density functional theory calculations (B3LYP functional) have been performed on the trinuclear unit to provide a qualitative theoretical interpretation of the overall ferromagnetic behavior shown by the complex 1.

Ethyl 4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxylate

In the molecular structure of the title compound, C21H25NO4, the dihydropyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation while the cyclohexenone ring is in an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to (10 (1) over bar) by N-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. The network is generated by R-4(4)(30) and R-4(4)(34) graph-set motifs.

1,2,3-Trifluorobenzene

In the title compound, C6H3F3, weak electrostatic and dispersive forces between C(delta+)-F(delta-) and H(delta+)-C(delta-) groups are at the borderline of the hydrogen-bond phenomenon and are poorly directional and further deformed in the presence of pi-pi stacking interactions. The molecule lies on a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal structure, one-dimensional tapes are formed via two antidromic C-H center dot center dot center dot F hydrogen bonds. These tapes are, in turn, connected into corrugated two-dimensional sheets by bifurcated C-H center dot center dot center dot F hydrogen bonds. Packing in the third dimension is furnished by pi-pi stacking interactions with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.6362 (14) angstrom.
