Research paper thumbnail of Experimental and Theoretical IR Spectra of 2-Nitrosopyridines

Optimal results were obtained with double-hybrid (DH) density functionals and def2-TZVP basis set, the best being DSD-PBEP86-D3(BJ), B2GP-PLYP-D3(BJ) and mPW2-PLYP-D2. Experimental frequencies were obtained by scaling harmonic frequencies with appropriate scaling factors, either taken from the literature or calculated using modified HFREQ2014 dataset. In the case of DH functionals, anharmonic frequencies do not offer any advantage in comparison with the scaled harmonic ones. Unexpectedly, all non-DH density functionals, including highly praised ωB97X-V and ωB97M-V, have serious problems with normal modes containing N=O bond stretching vibration. It was concluded that the origin of the problem is in the nitroso group itself, most likely caused by its multireference character. The best results among non-DH functionals were achieved at TPSSh-D3(BJ)/def2-TZVP level of theory.

The dissociation constants of the individual keto and oxime functional groups were determined spectrophotometrically and discussed in terms of the known pK values of compounds with similar structures. The three examined derivatives of the phenacylpyridinium type contain in solution a considerable proportion of the enol form while their next higher homologues are present predominately in their keto forms. AM1 molecular-orbital calculations show that the much higher acidity of a-CH 2 group of benzoylethylpyridinium type compounds is a consequence of an anomeric effect.
