Scroslow: /* Step 2: Calculate Molecular Orbitals for Benzene */

(4/23/20, bes)

'''Exercise 5: Electrostatic Potential Maps'''

[https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry_Textbook_Maps/Supplemental_Modules_(Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry)/Chemical_Bonding/Fundamentals_of_Chemical_Bonding/Electrostatic_Potential_maps Electrostatic potential maps] show the electron distribution (ie. the composite wavefunction for all electrons) within a molecular frame. '''''Did you get that ?''''' <--these pictures are a visual representation of the composite electron wavefunctions.

The figure below shows an example of the electrostatic potential maps for LiH, H2, and HF.
::*H2, the electrons are evenly distributed among the two H-atoms (green = neutral),
::*LiH, being an ionic compound, the 1s valence electron is transferred to the H-atom showing a Li+/positive charge (blue - on left) and an H-/negative charge (red - on right),
::*HF, being a covalent bond with the highly electronegative F-atom showing showing a H+/positive charge (blue - on left) and F-/negative charge (red - on right).

[[File:EPmaps.jpg|600px|thumb|center||[https://www.slideserve.com/hermione-mendez/electrostatic-potential-maps-models-that-visually-portray-polarity-and-dipoles reference]]]

'''''Note: these maps are "surface" maps...electrostatic potential surface maps...and represent what the electron distribution looks like from a external perspective.'''''

Using WebMO/Gaussian please complete the following table by optimizing the geometry based the stated level of theory and basis set:

==Activity 1: Generating an Electrostatic Potential Map for Benzene (C6H6)==

'''Note: this calculation is a 2-step process:
:1) Optimize Geometry, then,
:2) Calculate Molecular Orbitals.

===Step 1: Optimize Geometry for Benzene===
:- Click “New Job”, then “Create New Job”. The Build Molecule window opens,
:- Build C6H6 using the "fragments:
:::... from the menu bar, select Build: Fragments, then
:::- Category: --> Rings
:::- Fragment: --> Benzene
:::- OK
:::...then a single click in the drawing area will generate a benzene ring.
:- Choose Clean-Up > Comprehensive – Mechanics,
:- Symmetrize the molecule...(click "red" D6h* <-- 10th item down in left side menu),
:- Click the blue “continue” arrow in the lower right side of the Build Molecule window.

:- Setup the job as
::- Name: C6H6 (should be this already)
::- Calculation: Geometry Optimization
::- Theory: Hartree-Fock
::- Basic Set: Routine: 6-31(G)d
::- Charge: 0
::- Multiplicity: Singlet
:- Click the blue “continue” arrow to submit the job.

===Step 2: Calculate Molecular Orbitals for Benzene===
:- Once the job is complete, click on the hyperlinked name, C6H6 to open the “View Job” window.
:- Click the "New Job Using This Geometry" button at the bottom of the window, then click the blue “continue” arrow,
:- Setup the job:
::- Name: C6H6 (should be this already)
::- Calculation: Molecular Orbital
::- Theory: Hartree-Fock
::- Basic Set: Routine: 6-31(G)d
::- Charge: 0
::- Multiplicity: Singlet
:- Click the blue “continue” arrow to submit the job.

: - Once the job is complete, click on the "molecular orbital" hyperlinked name to view the “View Job” window.
:- Scroll down to the Molecular Orbitals table and look at the bottom:
:[[File:Screen Shot 2020-04-23 at 8.39.16 AM.png|400px]]
...and click the magnifying glass across from the "Electrostatic Potential" label...this will bring your view back to the top and after a short calculation time, the window will display the electrostatic potential map. Note the positive (blue), negative (red), and neutral (yellow/green) areas.

===Start your...''Report on Electrostatic Potential Map Calculations'' (more below)===
For this lab activity, i am requesting that you prepare a short report...'''''due on Tuesday, April 28th, at 5 pm.'''''

When viewing the electrostatic potential (EP) map, you can save this graphic as a PNG file that can be inserted into WORD.
::- When the EP map is displayed, select File: Save Image --> PNG (portable network graphic)...
::- Insert this image into a WORD file and save for later additions.

==Activity 2: Generating an Electrostatic Potential Map for substituted Benzenes==
As [http://esr.monmsci.net/wiki/index.php/File:Screen_Shot_2020-04-23_at_8.20.30_AM.png discussed previously], substitutions on the benzene ring can be activating or deactivating towards electrophilic aromatic substitution.
::- Activating groups (electron donating) --> weakly (alkyl, -CH3), moderately (alkoxyl, -OCH3, hydroxy, -OH), and strongly (-O-).
::- Deactivating groups (electron withdrawing)--> weakly (halo, -F, -Cl), moderately (carbonyl, -COR), and strongly (nitro, -NO2).

Please generate an electrostatic potential map for the following compounds:
::# benzene (done)
::# toluene/methylbenzene
::# anisole/methoxybenzene
::# phenol/hydroxybenzene
::# fluorobenzene
::# benzoic acid/carboxybenzene
::# nitrobenzene

Remember: these calculations are a 2-step process:
:1) Optimize Geometry, then,
:2) Calculate Molecular Orbitals.

==Report on Electrostatic Potential Map Calculations==
For this lab activity, i am requesting that you prepare a short report...'''''due on Tuesday, April 28th, at 5 pm.''''' (extensions allowed for good reasons)

When viewing the electrostatic potential (EP) map, you can save this graphic as a PNG file that can be inserted into WORD.
::- When the EP map is displayed, select File: Save Image --> PNG (portable network graphic)...
::- Insert this image into a WORD file.

Report requirements:
:# NAME/CLASS/DATE
:# INTRODUCTION: a short paragraph related to why we are doing these calculations.
:# METHODS: discuss the software used and the details (theory, basis sets,etc) of the calculations. (You do NOT need to do a step by step description of WebMO/Gaussian)
:# RESULTS: present electrostatic potential maps from calculations.
:# DISCUSSION: interpret the results EP maps in terms of the introductory information.
:# CONCLUSION...if needed, not required
:# REFERENCES...if needed, not required

Laser Etched Periodic Table

2019-12-04T21:17:11Z

Scroslow: /* Element Assignment */

== Chemistry Department Periodic Table of Elements ==

This wiki page will be used as a centralized means of keeping track of the progress made on our periodic table.

=== Instructions for Using the Laser ===

Step 1. Turn on laser by turning on the power strip to the left of the laser. You will be able to tell if it is on. You may want to turn on the emergency exhaust for the adjacent fume hood while the laser is in use.

Step 2. While the laser is initializing, log onto the computer.

Step 3. Click on the RetinaEngrave3D program. Click on the Generation 5 Hobby 20x12" laser.

Step 4. Home the laser by pressing the home button on the laser.

[[File:LaserInstructionsHome.png|400px]]

Step 5. Put a piece of wood in the engraving area so that it is laying flat. Use the arrow buttons on the laser to move the guide laser (red dot) to the point that you would like the laser to begin at. Focus the laser for this thickness of material.

Step 6. Open the Element Template Document, located below. Go to the page containing the element that you would like to print, then hit CTRL+P to print.

***Note: Some elements in the template have the atomic mass to the thousandths place... Please change this to the hundredths place before you print so we can stay consistent in our elements!***

[[Media:Elements_Template_bes.docx]]


Step 7. Ensure that you select "Full Spectrum Engineering Driver" as your printer and change the print setting to print only the current page.

Step 8. Click on the RetinaEngrave3D program. You should see that your element has loaded. Click on the Vector Cut tab. Click on the box outlining the element and change it to a color that is not black.

[[File:laseerinstruct.PNG|400px]]

Step 9. On the right-hand side, you should see options under "Vector Layers" for two colors: the color of the box and the color of the rest of the element. Change the Number of Passes for the Black Color to 0 and the Speed for the Yellow Color to 15. Leave the remaining settings alone.

[[File:Laserinstruct copy.png|400px]]

Step 10. Still on the right-hand side, you should see an option for "Raster Speed". Change this to 40.

[[File:updatelaserin.png|400px]]

Step 11. Towards the top-middle portion of the screen, you should see an option called Vector Mode. Change this to Raster then Vector. You should also change the resolution to 1000x1000 dpi.

[[File:laserinstructions.PNG|400px]]

Step 12. Hit the Start Job button. (This looks like a play button.) The laser should start engraving your wood! Keep an eye on the laser while it is engraving, as there is a potential fire risk whenever we engrave.

[[File:laserinstructions2.png|400px]]

Step 13. Enjoy your newly engraved element! If you are finished engraving, turn off the laser. If not, you can repeat the process beginning with step 5.

Laser Etched Periodic Table

2019-10-08T18:23:26Z

Scroslow: /* Element Assignment */

== Chemistry Department Periodic Table of Elements ==

This wiki page will be used as a centralized means of keeping track of the progress made on our periodic table.

=== Instructions for Using the Laser ===

Step 1. Turn on laser by turning on the power strip to the left of the laser. You will be able to tell if it is on. You may want to turn on the emergency exhaust for the adjacent fume hood while the laser is in use.

Step 2. While the laser is initializing, log onto the computer.

Step 3. Click on the RetinaEngrave3D program. Click on the Generation 5 Hobby 20x12" laser.

Step 4. Home the laser by pressing the home button on the laser.

[[File:LaserInstructionsHome.png|400px]]

Step 5. Put a piece of wood in the engraving area so that it is laying flat. Use the arrow buttons on the laser to move the guide laser (red dot) to the point that you would like the laser to begin at. Focus the laser for this thickness of material.

Step 6. Open the Element Template Document, located below. Go to the page containing the element that you would like to print, then hit CTRL+P to print.

***Note: Some elements in the template have the atomic mass to the thousandths place... Please change this to the hundredths place before you print so we can stay consistent in our elements!***

[[Media:Elements_Template_bes.docx]]


Step 7. Ensure that you select "Full Spectrum Engineering Driver" as your printer and change the print setting to print only the current page.

Step 8. Click on the RetinaEngrave3D program. You should see that your element has loaded. Click on the Vector Cut tab. Click on the box outlining the element and change it to a color that is not black.

[[File:laseerinstruct.PNG|400px]]

Step 9. On the right-hand side, you should see options under "Vector Layers" for two colors: the color of the box and the color of the rest of the element. Change the Number of Passes for the Black Color to 0 and the Speed for the Yellow Color to 15. Leave the remaining settings alone.

[[File:Laserinstruct copy.png|400px]]

Step 10. Still on the right-hand side, you should see an option for "Raster Speed". Change this to 40.

[[File:updatelaserin.png|400px]]

Step 11. Towards the top-middle portion of the screen, you should see an option called Vector Mode. Change this to Raster then Vector. You should also change the resolution to 1000x1000 dpi.

[[File:laserinstructions.PNG|400px]]

Step 12. Hit the Start Job button. (This looks like a play button.) The laser should start engraving your wood! Keep an eye on the laser while it is engraving, as there is a potential fire risk whenever we engrave.

[[File:laserinstructions2.png|400px]]

Step 13. Enjoy your newly engraved element! If you are finished engraving, turn off the laser. If not, you can repeat the process beginning with step 5.

Laser Etched Periodic Table

2019-09-27T00:13:33Z

Scroslow:

== Chemistry Department Periodic Table of Elements ==

This wiki page will be used as a centralized means of keeping track of the progress made on our periodic table.

=== Instructions for Using the Laser ===

Step 1. Turn on laser by turning on the power strip to the left of the laser. You will be able to tell if it is on. You may want to turn on the emergency exhaust for the adjacent fume hood while the laser is in use.

Step 2. While the laser is initializing, log onto the computer.

Step 3. Click on the RetinaEngrave3D program. Click on the Generation 5 Hobby 20x12" laser.

Step 4. Home the laser by pressing the home button on the laser.

[[File:LaserInstructionsHome.png|400px]]

Step 5. Put a piece of wood in the engraving area so that it is laying flat. Use the arrow buttons on the laser to move the guide laser (red dot) to the point that you would like the laser to begin at. Focus the laser for this thickness of material.

Step 6. Open the Element Template Document, located below. Go to the page containing the element that you would like to print, then hit CTRL+P to print.

***Note: Some elements in the template have the atomic mass to the thousandths place... Please change this to the hundredths place before you print so we can stay consistent in our elements!***

[[Media:Elements_Template_bes.docx]]


Step 7. Ensure that you select "Full Spectrum Engineering Driver" as your printer and change the print setting to print only the current page.

Step 8. Click on the RetinaEngrave3D program. You should see that your element has loaded. Click on the Vector Cut tab. Click on the box outlining the element and change it to a color that is not black.

[[File:laseerinstruct.PNG|400px]]

Step 9. On the right-hand side, you should see options under "Vector Layers" for two colors: the color of the box and the color of the rest of the element. Change the Number of Passes for the Black Color to 0 and the Speed for the Yellow Color to 15. Leave the remaining settings alone.

[[File:Laserinstruct copy.png|400px]]

Step 10. Still on the right-hand side, you should see an option for "Raster Speed". Change this to 40.

[[File:updatelaserin.png|400px]]

Step 11. Towards the top-middle portion of the screen, you should see an option called Vector Mode. Change this to Raster then Vector. You should also change the resolution to 1000x1000 dpi.

[[File:laserinstructions.PNG|400px]]

Step 12. Hit the Start Job button. (This looks like a play button.) The laser should start engraving your wood! Keep an eye on the laser while it is engraving, as there is a potential fire risk whenever we engrave.

[[File:laserinstructions2.png|400px]]

Step 13. Enjoy your newly engraved element! If you are finished engraving, turn off the laser. If not, you can repeat the process beginning with step 5.
