A semi-empirical P.P.P. type s.c.f.m.o. method has been developed to calculate, with practical accuracy, heats of atomization (at 25 °C), bond lengths, and resonance energies benzenoid hydrocarbons. Sigma E σb are estimated simultaneously the pi πb in this method. Self-consistent field lengths obtained, by minimization total energy, + , respect each individual length. The empirical calculated a new term, stabilization energy per CC bond, is introduced.

A careful conformational analysis of poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) at different pH values is presented. It found that a strong internal hydrogen bond formed intermediate pH, which induces change in the conformation polymer chain, becomes linear. This linearity does not depend on chirality polymer. The chain occurs only and can explain association among chains observed by dynamic light scattering 7.

The self-assembly into nanotubes in solution of an amphiphilic copolymer is characterized by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). This study confirmed the shape and size tubular association 3-D tubes predicted molecular orbital theory. Moreover, characterization stability has revealed that addition a very small amount salt to increases association. When more added, decreases, structure altered. was found be independent temperature therefore stable.

The self-assembly of poly(styrene-alt-dimethyl-N,N-propylamide) (SMI) polymers into nanotubes was studied using semiempirical PM3 calculations. Ordered polymer results from π-stacking styrenes and van der Waals interactions between the maleimide chains. Every styrene, half chains, in a racemo-di-isotactic SMI form π-stacks chain−chain pairs with neighboring polymer. Racemo-di-isotactic bent associations minimum-energy nanotube structure. Nanorods were observed experimentally diameters ∼5 nm.

To twist or not to twist? A ditopic ligand, L1, that contains a potentially tetradentate pyridyl–thiazole ligand chain and “external” crown ether unit is presented. Reaction of L1 with Cu+ Zn2+ ions results in the formation dinuclear double helicate [Cu2(L1)2]2+ mononuclear [ZnL1]2+ species. This system changes its preference for on inclusion s-block-metal at binding site (e.g., Sr2+ as shown scheme).

Mathematical expressions for the electronegativities of elements are derived exactly using Hartree–Fock–Slater equations and Mulliken’s definition electronegativity. Relaxation effects neglected. These same ones used by Bartolotti, Gadre, Parr. They generalized spin-polarized case calculations done helium to krypton. Results show that ionization potentials closer experiment than non-spin-polarized trend in obtained from is as one Bartolotti et al. a program.

The local-spin-density (LSD) generalized-exchange (GX) theory is corrected for self-interaction by splitting the single-particle Fermi hole into pure-exchange and holes. An analysis of these components shows that non-self-interaction-corrected GX scheme overestimates pure exchange while underestimating self-interaction. This self-interaction-corrected called GX-SI scheme. Using this method correcting self-interaction, two other approximate (SIC) schemes can be derived in which (1) GX-LSD-SI...

Optimization DHBA-based dendrimer generations 1–5 (DG1–5) showed that DG1–3 have a relatively open structure with no internal spaces any particular size or shape, while DG4 5 assume more globular well-defined cavities.
