In this study, we have investigated potential energy of ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranose in vacuum and implicit water condition. By Comparing two conditions we find that how solvation energy influence ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranose structure. We use AMBER package program and GLYCAM_06 force field. Solvation model was used for the generalized Born model with Hawkins, Cramer, Truhlar has been proposed. We conclude that difference of contour map of two conditions is caused by solvation effect by reducing hydrogen bonding interaction.

Second-order rate constants have been determined spectrophotometrically for nucleophilic substitution reactions of p-nitrophenyl benzoate with various anionic nucleophiles including 6 ${\alpha}$ -effect nucleophiles. The logarithmic second-order rate constants for the aryloxides give a good Bronsted correlation with the respective basicity while the ones for p-chlorothiophenoxide and hydroxide exhibit significantly positive and negative deviations, respectivity, from the Bronsted linear line. The deviations are attributed to a solvation effect rather than a change in the reaction mechanism. The ${\alpha}$-effect nucleophiles except highly basic ones demonstrate significantly higher nucleophilicity (the ${\alpha}$ -effect) than would be predicted from the respective basicity. The effect of solvation and polarizability appears to be important for the ${\alpha}$-effect as well as for the reaction rate.

Second-order rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the nucleophilic substitution reactions of S-p-nitrophenyl thiobenzoate with various anionic nucleophiles including 6 ${\alpha}$-effect nucleophiles. A good Bronsted correlation has been observed for the reactions with 7 aryloxides. However, p-chlorothiophenoxide and hydroxide ions exhibit significantly positive and negative deviations, respectively, from the Bronsted plot. The deviations are attributed to the effect of polarizability and solvation rather than a change in the reaction mechanism. The ${\alpha}$-effect nuceophiles except highly basic ones demonstrate remarkably enhanced nucleophilicity. The effects of solvation and/or polarizability are proposed to be important for the cause of the ${\alpha}$-effect.

The enthalpies of transfer, ${\Delta}H_t{\Theta}$, of NaI from water to aqueous methanol, ethanol and isopropanol, iPrOH, systems are reported. These data have been analysed in terms of the new solvation theory. These data are considered in terms of the new developed solvation theory including variable ($\alpha$n + $\beta$N), the net effect of the solute on the solvent-solvent bonding, is positive if there is a net breaking or weakening of solvent-solvent bonds. The solvation parameters recovered from the analyses indicate that the net affect of NaI on solvent structure is a breaking of solvent-solvent bonds and that NaI is preferentially solvated by water in all aqueous alcohol systems considered. ($\alpha$n + $\beta$N) values increase with increasing in the size of the alcohol alkyl residue from methanol to iPrOH.

Solvolyses of isopropylsulfonyl chloride (IPSC) in water, D_2O,\;CH_3OD$, and in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, ethanol and methanol are investigated at 25, 35 and 45$^{\circ}C$. The Grunwald-Winstein plot of first-order rate constants for the solvolytic reaction of IPSC with $Y_{Cl}$ (based on 2-adamantyl chloride) shows marked dispersions into three separate lines for three aqueous mixtures with a small slope (m < 0.30). The extended Grunwald-Winstein plots for the solvolysis of IPSC show better correlation. The kinetic solvent isotope effects determined in water and methanol are in consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalyzed and/or $S_AN/S_N2$ reaction mechanism for IPSC solvolyses based on mass law and stoichiometric solvation effect studies.

Solvolyses of phenyl chloroformate in water, D2O, CH3OD, 50% D2O-CH3OD, and in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, ethanol and methanol are investigated at 25.0 ℃. Product selectivities are reported at 25 ℃ for a wide range of ethanol-water and methanol-water solvent compositions. The Grunwald-Winstein plots of first-order rate constants for phenyl chloroformate with YCl (based on 2-adamantyl chloride) show marked dispersions into three separate lines for the three aqueous mixtures with a small m value (m< 0.2) and a rate maximum for aqueous alcohol solvents. Third-order rate constants, kww, kaw, kwa and kaa were calculated from the observed kww and kaa values together with kaw and kwa calculated from the intercept and slope of the plot of 1/S vs. [alcohol]/[water]. The calculated rate constants, kcalc and mol % of ester agree satisfactorily with those of the observed rate constants, kobs and mol % of ester, supporting the stoichiometric solvation effect analysis. The kinetic solvent isotope effects determined in water and methanol are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalyzed and/or carbonyl addition for phenyl chloroformate solvolyses based on mass law and stoichiometric solvation effect studies.

Solvolyses rate constants of trimethylacetyl chloride (2), isobutyryl chloride (3), diphenylacetyl chloride (4) and p-methoxyphenylacetyl chloride (5) in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)-water, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP)-water and TFE-et hanol solvent systems at $10^{\circ}C$ are determined by a conductimetric method. Kinetic solvent isotope effects (KSIE) are reported from additional kinetic data for methanolyses of various substituted acetylchlorides in methanol According to the results of those reactions analyzed in terms of rate-rate profiles,extended Grunwald-Winstein type correlations, application of a third order reaction model based a general base catalyzed (GBC) and KSIE values. Regardless of the kind of neighboring groups (CH3- or Ph-groups) of reaction center, for aqueous fluorinated alcohol systems, solvolyses of 2, 3, 4, and 5 were exposed to the reaction with the same mechanism (a loose SN2 type mechanism by electrophilic solvation) controlled by a similarity of solvation of the transition sate (TS). Whereas, for TFE-ethanol solvent systems, the reactivity depended on whether substituted acetyl chloride have aromatic rings (Ph-) or alkyl groups (CH3-); the solvations by the predominant stoichiometric effect (third order reaction mechanism by GBC and/or by push-pull type) for Ph- groups (4 and 5) and the same solvation effects as those shown in TFE-water solvent systems for CH3- groups (2 and 3) were exhibited Such phenomena can be interpreted as having relevance to the inductive effect ( $\sigmaI)$ of substituted groups; the plot of log (KSIE) vs. ${\sigma}I$ parameter give an acceptable the linear correlation with r = 0.970 (slope = 0.44 $\pm$ 0.06, n = 5).

Solvolysis rates of isopropenyl chloroformate (3) in water, $D_2O$, $CH_3OD$ and in aqueous methanol, ethanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), acetone, 1,4-dioxane as well as TFE-ethanol at 10 ${^{\circ}C}$ are reported. Additional kinetic data for pure water, pure ethanol and 80%(w/w) 2,2,2-trifuoroethanol (T)-water (W) at various temperatures are also reported. These rates show the phenomena of maximum rates in specific solvents (30% (v/v) methanol-water and 20% (v/v) ethanol-water) and, variations in relative rates are small in aqueous alcohols. The kinetic data are analyzed in terms of GW correlations, steric effect, kinetic solvent isotope effects (KSIE), and a third order model based on general base catalysis (GBC). Solvolyses based on predominately stoichiometric solvation effect relative to medium solvation are proceeding in 3 and the results are remarkably similar to those for p-nitrobenzoyl chloride (4) in mechanism and reactivity.

Picosecond absorption spectroscopy has been employed in the study of the solvent dynamics of 1, 2, 4, 5-tetracyanobenzene/biphenyl derivative radical ion pairs, and the resulting rates of radical ion pair separation are faster in acetonitrile than in dichloromethane. In an effort to account quantitatively for such solvent effect on the rate of radical ion pair separation, an equation for the rate of radical ion pair separation is introduced, in which the rate depends exponentially on the electrostatic interaction energy in the radical ion pair. In our analysis of the types of electrostatic interaction energy based on the conducting spheres in dielectric continuum was chosen, and the rate equation employing this electrostatic energy provided information on the distance on the distance of radical ion pair separation and solvation energy of the radical ion pair, thereby providing quantitative explanation for the observed solvent effect on the rate of radical ion pair sepaaration.

Solvolyses of trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride (TFMSC) in water and in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, ethanol and methanol are investigated at 25, 35 and 45 ${^{\circ}C}$. The Grunwald-Winstein plot of first-order rate constants for the solvolytic reaction of TFMSC with YCl (based on 2-adamantyl chloride) shows marked dispersions into three separate curves for three aqueous mixtures. The extended Grunwald-Winstein plots for the solvolysis of TFMSC show better correlation. The large negative ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ and relatively small positive ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ reveals that the solvolytic reaction proceeds via a typical bimolecular reaction mechanism. The l and m values determined in various solvents are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalysis $S_AN/S_N2$reaction mechanism for TFMSC solvolyses based on mass law and stoichiometric solvation effect studies.
