<Abstract:> Mechanistic studies for linear cross-dimerization between 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene and 2,5-dihydrofuran by a Ru(0) complex, Ru(η⁶-naphthalene) (η⁴ 1,5-COD), were performed computationally. The rate-determining steps of main and side reactions are different mechanisms, and correspond to the reductive elimination step and the oxidative coupling step, respectively. This suggests that the yield of the main product may be improved by modification of the heterocyclic compound or catalyst structure. In addition, the computational studies predicted that cross-dimerization between 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene and 2,5-dihydropyrrole may occur via a similar reaction mechanism.

<Abstract:> Enumeration of the conformers and conformational analysis were successfully conducted for an octahedral [M(ABC)₆] complex. In this report the methods and results were briefly described. In the enumeration, 7173 conformers were found by the computational group theory method, and among them, 130 conformers were found to have stable M(AB)₆ cores of S₆ symmetry. The structures of the 130 conformers of [Zn(DMSO)₆]²⁺ (DMSO: dimethylsulfoxide) were optimized by the DFT method, and the most stable conformer was obtained.

<Title:> ケイ酸塩鉱物の電子状態及びXANES計算

<Abstract:> We estimated surface energies of all flat surfaces of forsterite within the framework of density functional theory. We found that surface energy of (120) surface is the lowest and those of (010), (130) and (112) surfaces are followed subsequently. Morphology of forsterite at 0 K is predicted. Calculated Si K-edge XANES spectra of silicon in forsterite are consistent with experiments.

<Abstract:> 正または負電荷を有するミューオン粒子を用いて，ミュオニウム(0.114 amu) およびミュオニックヘリウム(4.11 amu)と呼ばれる水素原子の同位体をつくりだすことができる．これを利用することによって，H/D/Tを超えた質量比の同位体効果を観測することができ る．ミュオニウムはその小さな質量のため，化学反応系の水素原子がミュオニウムに置換されると，ゼロ点振動エネルギーやトンネル効果による大きな 量子効果を示す．また，反応経路そのものが変化する例や，遷移状態が安定化する特異な現象も存在する．

<Title:> Ionic Hydrogen Bonding Vibration in OH^–(H₂O)_2-4

<Abstract:> Focusing on the OH^–(H₂O)_{2 4} clusters, we have theoretically studied the strongly red shifted ionic hydrogen bond (IHB) OH stretching vibration of water molecules directly bound to the hydroxide. Our calculations show that a systematic blue shift of the IHB OH peak is observed with the increase in the number of water molecules in the first solvation shell. Furthermore, we showed that the vibrational signature of the four coordinated hydroxide for OH^–(H₂O)₄ will be observed in the 2800 3200 cm^-1 range.

<Title:> 固体表面に存在する水素原子が示す量子効果
<Author(s):> 奥山　弘
<Abstract:> Quantum effect is manifest for hydrogen atoms on surfaces as well as for those in solution and solids. The excited states of a hydrogen atom directly adsorbed on metal surfaces are beyond the diffusion barrier, thus being delocalized to the next sites, and even spread over the entire surface in the low-coverage limit. In addition, water and hydroxyl group on the surfaces show significant quantum effect, due to tunneling and zero-point motion of the hydrogen atom. We briefly review some experimental and theoretical studies that revealed the quantum effect of the hydrogen atom on the surfaces.
