Abstract:
Energies, electronic structures, and thermodynamics of protonated and methylated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) cations and dications were calculated using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The O-protonated structure 2 was found to be 37.0 kcal/mol more stable than the S-protonated 3. For diprotonated DMSO dication, the O, O-diprotonated form 6 was found to be the global minimum, more stable by 20.8 kcal/mol than O,S-diprotonated 7. Interestingly, for dimethylated DMSO dication, O,O-dimethylated 11 and O,S-dimethylated 12 are isoenergetic. (13)C, (17)O, and (33)S NMR chemical shifts of the cations and dications were calculated using the GIAO-MP2 method and compared with the available experimental data.
