N-halamine chemistry has been a research topic of considerable importance in these laboratories for over two decades. N-halamine compounds are useful in preparing biocidal materials. There are three N-Cl moieties available in cyclic N-halamine compounds: imide, amide, and amine. The stabilities toward the release of free halogen have been experimentally shown to decrease in the order amine > amide > imide. In this work, this generalization has been tested theoretically at the level of B3LYP/6-31+G(d) and using the conductor-like polarizable continuum aqueous solvation model with UAKS cavities. Excellent accord was observed between theory and experiment. It was also found that the imide and amide N-halamine stabilities on hydantoin rings could be reversed with substitution patterns at the 5 position.

The barrier height, unimolecular rate constant, and lifetime for the dissociation of HN2
Bozkaya, Ugur; Turney, Justin M.; Yamaguchi, Yukio; Schaefer, Henry F. (AIP Publishing, 2010-02-14)
Although never spectroscopically identified in the laboratory, hydrogenated nitrogen (HN2) is thought to be an important species in combustion chemistry. The classical barrier height (10.6 +/- 0.2 kcal mol(-1)) and exothermicity (3.6 +/- 0.2 kcal mol(-1)) for the HN2 -> N-2+H reaction are predicted by high level ab initio quantum mechanical methods [up to CCSDT(Q)]. Total energies are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit applying the focal point analysis. Zero-point vibrational energies are computed...
The valence electronic structure and conformational flexibility of epichlorohydrin
Stranges, S.; Alagia, M.; Decleva, P.; Stener, M.; Fronzoni, G.; Toffolı, Danıele; Speranza, M.; Catone, D.; Turchini, S.; Prosperi, T.; Zema, N.; Contini, G.; Keheyan, Y. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2011-01-01)
The electronic structure of epichlorohydrin is investigated in the whole valence region by a combined experimental and theoretical study. The issue of controversial assignments of the molecular electronic structure is here addressed. Photoelectron spectra (PES) and Threshold Photoelectron spectra (TPES) of room temperature molecules in the gas phase are recorded. Geometries and energies of the stable conformers due to internal rotation of the C-C-C-Cl dihedral angle, gauche-II (g-II), gauche-I (g-I), and ci...
The role of antiferromagnetic exchange interactions in dinuclear Cr(III) dithiocarbamates and a stepwise behavior of magnetic moment
AYTEKİN, ÖZLEM; Bayri, A. (Pleiades Publishing Ltd, 2012-12-01)
In this study the role of the antiferromagnetic interactions in recently synthesized dinuclear Cr(III) complex has been investigated. Since there was not enough structural information for the characterization of the synthesis, we claim that there should be antiferromagnetic interactions between the dinuclear Fe(III) ions, if the proposed structure is the real structure. A new experiment is proposed to test the predictions of this theoretical investigation.
Development of new synthetic methodologies for indole derivatives
Kılıklı, Ahmet Alper; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2010)
Synthesizing nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds is one of the leading research areas throughout the organic chemistry due to their significant activities on biological systems. Among the various biologically active molecules, indole derivatives are of prime importance on the grounds of their proven clinical roles. Objective of this study is to synthesize new indole derivatives those may contribute treatment of several diseases like their analogues via a recently developed synthetic methodology. Besi...
Mechanism of formation of biocidal imidazolidin-4-one derivatives: An ab initio density-functional theory
Akdağ, Akın; Worley, S. D. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2006-06-01)
N-halamine chemistry has been a research topic of considerable importance in these laboratories for over 2 decades because N-halamine compounds are very useful in preparing biocidal materials. To understand the utility of these compounds, the stabilities and mechanism of halogenation of cyclic N-halamine compounds should be resolved. The important precursor biocidal compound, 2,2,5,5-tetramethylimidazolidin-4-one (TMIO) was considered as a model in this theoretical study. The thermodynamic and kinetic produ...
