Abstract:
Eigenvalue of bonding orbital-connection matrix is a good descriptor for expressing the relative bond energies of C-C and C-H bonds in alkane. Its application can be extended to the physicochemical properties of alkanes. Based on polarizability effect index (PEI), the bond adjacency matrix BCH for each C-H bond and orbital overlapping matrix BCC for whole carbon skeleton in alkane molecule, respectively, were built. The eigenvalues X1CH, X2CH for every BCH and X1CC, ..., X(n-1)CC, XnCC, ..., X2(n-1)CC for BCC were obtained. Then the parameters SX1CH and SX2CH were calculated by summing eigenvalues X1CH and X2CH of all BCH, and SX1CC and SX2CC were computed by summing eigenvalues from X1CC to X(n-1)CC and from XnCC to X2(n-1)CC, respectively. In addition, another parameter Vij was developed for C-C bond and summed to get parameter SVij. This set of descriptors combined with odd-even index (OEI) and N2/3 (N is the number of carbon atoms) can express most of the important molecular structural information of alkanes. The correlations between 10 physicochemical properties (including boiling point Bp, critical temperature Tc, critical volume Vc, critical pressure Pc, density D, refraction index nD, vapor pressure log Pv, heat capacities Cp, heats of vaporization Hv and chromatographic retention index Ipt) and the five parameters SX1CH, SX1CC, SVij, OEI, and N2/3 were carried out, and good results were obtained with Bp (r = 0.9987, s = 3.06 °C), Tc (r = 0.9991, s = 4.03 °C), Vc (r = 0.9995, s = 7.66 cm3·mol-1), Pc (r = 0.9941, s = 0.0771 Mpa), D (r = 0.9906, s = 0.0048 g·cm-3), nD (r = 0.9499, s = 0.0055), log Pv (r = 0.9974, s = 0.0959), Cp (r = 0.9997, s = 2.02 J·mol-1·K-1), Hv (r = 0.9994, s = 0.66 kJ·mol-1) and Ipt (r = 0.9986, s = 8.09) respectively. The model equations developed by present paper can be used for estimating and predicting the 10 physicochemical properties of alkanes. This method may be extended to QSPR of other compounds.
