Making use of the fact that perfluorohydrocarbon, and hydrocarbon solvents become miscible at high temperatures, highly pure inorganic nanoparticles capped with fluorous labels have been generated in a one-step synthesis. The procedure involves taking the reactants in a hydrocarbon+perfluorohydrocarbon mixture along with a fluorous reagent and carrying out the reaction at elevated temperatures. On cooling the reaction mixture, fluorous-capped inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in the perfluorohydrocarbon are obtained.
In the systematic study of amine … LiCl [amines = NH3, CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH] complexes the possibility of an ion-pair structure and the effect of methylation on the stabilization energy is investigated. ΔEis evaluated by the SCF/4-31G method and augmented by the approximate dispersion energy calculated perturbationally. The interaction energy decreases with the increasing number of methyl groups in the amine. The dispersion energy plays a negligible role in the stabilization of complexes. None of the systems studied are ion pairs; their Li bonds are of a so-called molecular type. Due to the divergence of the multipole expansion, the attempt to correct the 4-31G stabilization energies via the electrostatic energy fails. The relative order of the ΔE in the series of complexes is verified instead in the extended basis set calculation. The lithium bonds are compared with their H-bonded analogues.
