Popis: | Semi-empirical SCF calculations (INDO) are used to predict barriers to internal motion in substituted carbodiimides. The barriers calculated for dimethylcarbodiimide yield no great surprises and are in excellent agreement with that observed for an alkyl substituted molecule. We also demonstrate, as found for other systems, that a substituent bearing a lone pair of electrons gives considerable nitrogen configurational stability. On the other hand, cyano substitution seems to yield a molecule that is extremely flexible with essentially no barrier to internal rotation or inversion. |
