密度函数理论 (DFT) 努力准确预测具有挑战性的酸 (HCNO) 分子的特性. 不同的DFT函数对其几何和电子结构产生了相互矛盾的结果,表明缺乏共识.
科学领域:
- 计算化学
- 量子化学
- 理论化学
背景情况:
- 富尔米尼酸 (HCNO) 是具有历史意义的分子,具有独特的化学特性.
- 密度函数理论 (DFT) 是用于预测分子性质的广泛使用的计算方法.
研究的目的:
- 对具有挑战性的 HCNO 分子进行广泛的当代 DFT 函数的性能评估.
- 分析 DFT 的准确性,以预测 HCNO 的几何参数,振动频率和反应能量.
- 调查分散校正对HCNO性能的影响.
主要方法:
- 使用 473 种不同的 DFT 函数计算分子性质.
- 对几何参数,振动频率,线性障碍和离散能量的统计分析.
- 对"DFT梯子"进行评估,以实现准确的预测.
主要成果:
- 由于使用了更高"级"的DFT函数,因此没有明显的共识或一致的准确性改善.
- 高级 DFT 函数对反应能量表现更好,而低级函数对键距离和频率表现更好.
- 分散校正对共价键特性和热化学有显著的副作用.
结论:
- 目前收集的DFT近似值并不能为HCNO提供可靠,透明的预测.
- 对于HCNO,DFT的性能高度依赖于正在研究的特定功能和特性.
- 需要进一步开发DFT方法来准确描述具有挑战性的化学系统,如酸.

Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...
Acid Halides to Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis
As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic acid...

Acid Halides to Ketones: Gilman Reagent
As shown below, the mechanism proceeds in two steps. First, one of the alkyl groups of the reagent acts as a nucleophile and attacks the acyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen double...

Ladder Diagrams: Acid–Base Equilibria
A ladder diagram for acid-base equilibria consists of a vertical axis that represents pH and horizontal bars (steps on the ladder) that help position all the pKa values in the system. At equilibrium, the pH value of the system corresponds to one of...
