Abstract

A description of MacMolPlt, a graphical user interface for the General Atomic and Molecular Electronic Structure System, GAMESS, is presented. Major features include an input builder for GAMESS; and display and animation of molecular structure, normal modes of vibration, reaction paths, orbitals, total electron densities, molecular electrostatic potentials, and density differences. The strategy for direct computation of orbital, total electron density, and molecular electrostatic potential surfaces is discussed.

Studies on energetic compounds. 25. An overview of preparation, thermolysis and applications of the salts of 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (NTO).

The research work reported on the preparation, characterisation and applications of more than 50 salts of NTO has been reviewed thoroughly. A broad classification and sub classification of all these compounds has been given on the basis of nature of the compounds with which NTO forms salts. Attempt has been made to discuss the structure of these salts by summarising analytical data reported from 13C NMR. The structure as determined by IR spectroscopy as well as XRD has also been discussed briefly. A generalised mechanism for the thermolysis of the metal salts has also been given and any deviation from this has been narrated in particular cases. The kinetic details, thermodynamical and thermochemical data as well as performance parameters have also been reviewed. Thus, the futuristic potentials of these salts are analysed critically and further studies have been suggested.

Solidification of waste steel foundry dust with Portland cement.

Properties of mixtures of Portland cements and "waste steel foundry dust (WSFD)" from Czech steel works were examined. It was found that WSFDs are formed by microporous clusters of spherical particles of iron oxides, ranging in size from 10 to 100 nm. The content of ZnO in WSFD affects markedly the hydration of cement + WSFD mixtures both in solidification time and strength development. Properties of WSFD are very similar to those of very fine silicon flue dusts formed during Si and FeSi production. Cement + WSFD mixtures show long term strength stability and low heavy metals leaching even at WSFD content of 70-80wt.% The above results document the perspectives of WSFD solidification, disposal and the use of this waste material as a new additive to building materials.

Application of natural bond orbital analysis to delocalization and aromaticity in C-substituted tetrazoles.

Energies of two tautomeric forms of 10 tetrazole derivatives substituted at C5 were established by DFT/B3LYP calculations carried out at the 6-311++G level. In each case the calculated energy of the 2H-tautomer was lower than that of the 1H. Furthermore, three geometric aromaticity indices of both forms were calculated, as were the values of nuclear independent nuclear shift and aromatic stabilization energy. The electronic properties were evaluated with the help of the natural bonding orbital theory. Following this a new pi-delocalization parameter, the root-mean square of pi-electron density localized on the atoms of the five-membered tetrazole ring, SDn, was introduced. It was concluded that the electronic delocalization can be described equally well by three different parameters: SDn, the extent of the transfer of electron density from the p(z) orbital of one nitrogen to the rest of the pi electron system, and population of two antibonding pi orbitals. Arguably, the information provided by the electronic parameters is similar to that contained in the geometric (structural) aromaticity indices except for tetrazole substituted by -BH(2).
