Effect of shearing on crystallization behavior ofpoly(ethylene naphthalate)W.J.Yoon,H.S.Myung,B.C.Kim,S.S.Im *Department of Textile Engineering,Hanyang University,Haengdang,Seongdong,Seoul 133-791,South KoreaReceived 11August 1999;received in revised form 24September 1999;accepted 30September 1999AbstractThe effect of shear history on the isothermal crystallization behavior of poly(ethylene naphthalate)(PEN)was investigated by rheological and morphological measurements.Time sweep measurements of storage modulus (G H )and dynamic viscosity (h H )were carried out on the molten PEN by Advanced Rheometric Expansion System (ARES)in the parallel-plate geometry at several different temperatures and frequencies,followed by structural analysis by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC),X-ray diffractometer,and polarizing microscopy for the shear-induced crystallized PEN specimens in the ARES measurements.The rate of isothermal crystallization of PEN was notably affected by temperature,while the shear rate has an important effect on the structures of the resultant crystals.At a constant shear rate,the rate of crystallization by shear-induced structuring mechanism was increased with lowering temperature over the temperature range 230–250ЊC.The rate of crystallization was increased with increasing shear rate at a given temperature.An increase in shear rate increased both nucleation and number of crystallites.Further,it increased the content of the a -form crystal in the specimen.On the other hand,lower shear rate offered more favorable conditions for forming the b -form crystal.DSC analysis exhibited that the b -form crystal had higher melting temperature (T m )than the a -form crystal.The wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD)patterns also ascertained that higher content of the a -form crystal was produced in the PEN specimen crystallized at higher frequency.᭧2000Elsevier Science Ltd.All rights reserved.Keywords :Poly(ethylene naphthalate);Rheology;Shear-induced crystallization1.IntroductionShear-induced structural changes in polymeric materials take an increasing interest in the field of polymer proces-sing.In real polymer processing very complex deformation histories are involved,which can influence ultimate proper-ties of plastics.Recent advances in experimental techniques that allow in situ measurements of materials under deforma-tion have escalated research in this subject area.It has been known for a long time that flow stress have accelerating effect on the crystallization of semi-crystalline polymers [1–6].It is supposed that the application of a shear stress to a polymer melt should lead to formation of orientation and reduce the entropy of the melt,which results in a higher melting temperature and,hence,lead to an increased super-cooling [3,7].Several experiments have been described in the literature where attempts were made to quantify the shear stress-induced crystallization in molten semi-crystal-line polymers such as polypropylene [3,8,9],polyethylene oxide [10],polypropylene [11–13],and polybutene-1[3,14].Some investigators used rotational viscometers andmeasured either the volume change [15]or the number of nuclei formed during shearing [11,14].The polymers enum-erated above are apt to process because of low melting point and viscosity.On the other hand,PEN has good thermal and mechanical properties and is being used as engineering plastics.PEN is reported to have two different triclinic crystalline structures,a -form and b -form crystals.Of two crystal forms,the b -form crystal is known to be more stable than the a -form.The effect of crystallization temperature on the resultant crystal structure is well recognized;lower temperature favors formation of the a -form crystal.The critical temperature is reported about 230ЊC.However,the effect of shear history on the crystal structure of PEN has not been reported.In this study,the shear-induced crystallization behavior of PEN was investigated on the rheological basis.The effect of shear history on the crystalline structure was also discussed in terms of thermal and morphological properties.2.Experimental 2.1.MaterialThe PEN tested was a commercially available gradePolymer 41(2000)4933–49420032-3861/00/$-see front matter ᭧2000Elsevier Science Ltd.All rights

viscosity,0.344dl/g was determined in a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid and chloroform (1/3v/v%)with an Ubbelohde viscometer at 25^0:1ЊC :The polymer was dried in a vacuum oven at 120ЊC for 24h prior to use.2.2.Measurement of physical propertiesThe dynamic rheological properties were measured by ARES (Rheometric Scientifics)in the parallel plate geome-try.The plate diameter was 12.5mm,strain level was 5%,and gap between the plates was 1mm.The PEN chips were melted at 300ЊC.The initial gap was set to a value equiva-lent to final gap plus 50m m.The excess sample squeezed out by reducing the gap was carefully trimmed off.The value was reset to the final gap value,1mm.To remove the residual stress the newly set PEN specimen was relaxed for about 5min at the temperature in nitrogen atmosphere,then cooled to the predetermined temperature for rheologi-cal measurements.A time-sweep experiment was continued for the specimen till the G H reached the ceiling value of the apparatus.After ARES measurement,the molten PEN sample was detached from the plates for measuring other properties such as thermal and morphological properties by DSC,X-ray diffractometer and polarizing optical micro-scopy.Thermal properties were measured by Perkin–Elmer DSC-7over the temperature 50–300ЊC at the heating rate of 10ЊC/min under nitrogen purge.The isothermalcrystallization experiment was performed by two different methods.Firstly,the PEN sample was heated to 300ЊC at the heating rate of 200ЊC/min,and held for about 5min,then they were cooled to the preset temperature to bring about the isothermal crystallization for same time required in ARES experiment.Secondly,the PEN chips were melted at 300ЊC between two slide glasses for 5min on the hot stage.They were moved to an oil bath very quickly and isothermally crystallized at 230,240,and 250ЊC for 4,10,and 24h,respectively.Wide angle X-ray diffraction patterns of the isothermally crystallized PEN specimen in the oil bath and ARES were obtained by X-ray diffractometer (Rigaku Denki)with Ni-filtered CuK a radiation at 35kV and 35mA.Morphology of quiescent and shear-induced crystallized PEN specimen was observed by polarized microscopy (Nikon HFX-IIA).The spherulite structure was observed by microtoming the specimen.3.Results and discussionIn the plot of G H and h H versus time at a given frequency for a polymer,the two parameters may give information on the change in physicochemical properties of the polymer.For thermally sensitive polymer melts,an irreversible decrease of viscosity with time at a constant shear rate suggests the possibility of thermal degradation of polymer molecules,whereas an irreversible increase of viscosityW.J.Yoon et al./Polymer 41(2000)4933–49424934Fig.1.Variation of G H with time for PEN melt at 240ЊC at three different frequencies.with time indicates the possibility of chemical crosslinkingbetween polymer molecules.Both thermal degradation andchemical crosslinking show irreversibility in the rheologicalresponses.On the other hand,a reversible change in G H and h H with time at a constant frequency may be caused by changing in the physical state of the polymer melts.A typi-cal example of the physical change is the isothermal crystal-lization.As the crystallites grow to larger sized spheruliteswithin the PEN melt through nucleation and growth,thehomogeneous melt system changes to the heterogeneoussystem.Thus the G H and h H increase with the crystallization time.Figs.1and2show the variation of the G H and h H of PEN melt with time at240ЊC at three different shear rates(1,3, and5rad/s).At the early stage of experiment,both G H and h H are increased slowly,indicating an induction time for crystallization.The induction period is the stage when randomly entangled polymer chains transform to the regular aligned lattice.Because of topological obstruction of such entanglements,the polymer crystallization is extremely slow[16].However,an abrupt increase of both parameters follows in some minutes.This phenomenon can be ascribed to the formation of tiny crystals so-called crystallites prob-ably due to shear-induced crystallization.It can be easily imagined that the homogeneous PEN melt changes to a suspension system with proceeding crystallization,in which numerous crystallites are dispersed in the homo-geneous molten polymer matrix.The viscosity increases due to increasing the volume fraction of dispersed crystal-lites with progressing crystallization,which is also reportedby others[7,9,11,14,17].The ceiling value of G H is the same regardless of frequen-cies and temperatures whenfinishing crystallization asshown in Fig.1.On the other hand,the ceiling value of h H is gradually decreased with increasing the applied frequency as shown in Fig.2.This is attributable to pseudo-plasticity.That is,the heterogeneous system is expected toshow yield behavior[18].At low shear rates the hetero-geneous systems exhibit very high viscosity,and almostunbounded viscosity at zero shear rate.The viscosity,however,is rapidly decreased if the shear rate exceeds acritical value.Consequently,the ceiling viscosity at1rad/sis greater than at5rad/s.In addition,the ceiling value of h H shows a gradual decrease with time after having reached maximum as shown in Fig.2,which is more noticeable at the higher frequency.The gradual decrease of h H seems to result from the restructuring of the heterogeneous systems. That is,the viscosity is decreased with shearing on account of destruction of the orderedfiller particle structure.The destruction of the pseudostructure offiller particles is increased as shear rate is increased.Fig.2reflects this.It is also noted in Figs.1and2that the induction time forcrystallization is decreased as frequency is increased.Anapplication of shear stress to a polymer melt would giverise to two characteristic responses,orientation and slippageof polymer molecules.They are associated with theW.J.Yoon et al./Polymer41(2000)4933–49424935Fig.2.Variation of h H with time for PEN melt at240ЊC at three different frequencies.W.J.Yoon et al./Polymer41(2000)4933–49424936Fig.3.Variation of G H(A)and h H(B)for PEN melt at3rad/s at three different temperatures.W.J.Yoon et al./Polymer41(2000)4933–49424937Fig.4.DSC thermograms of PEN isothermally crystallized at(A)230ЊC,(B)240ЊC and(C)250ЊC at various frequencies.macroscopic phenomena of elasticity and flow,respectively.That is,the oriented polymer molecule has fewer possible conformations than the unoriented one,which results in lower entropy.At the melting temperature,the free energy of the crystal equals the free energy of the melt as written by [3]T mD H f D S f H m ϪH cS m ϪS c1Hence,for an oriented melt,the ensuing reduction in entropy raises T m .Further,it increases the degree of super-cooling,accelerating the rate of crystallization.In general,higher shear rate gives better chance for orientation.Con-sequently,the induction time for cystallization is decreased with increasing shear rate.In Fig.3(A)and (B)shows that the annealing temperaturehas a profound effect on the nucleation and crystallization mechanism of PEN melts.The increase of G H and h H with annealing time represents the extent of crystallization of the melts with annealing time.Fig.3suggests that the number and growth rate of the nucleated crystallites is greater at 230ЊC than at 250ЊC.That is,both nucleation density and growth rate of crystallites are diminished with raising the annealing temperature.This stands to reason because the maximum rate of the homogeneous crystallization of PEN melts is observed in the vicinity of 215ЊC.The viscosity behavior of the PEN melt with crystalliza-tion in Fig.3may be accounted for by adopting the Mooney equation in a qualitative manner [19].ln h =h 1K E

patterns of PEN melts at 230ЊC and at 250ЊC are distinc-tively different from each other.The Mooney equation predicts that the degree of increasing the suspension visc-osity with increasing f 2is greatly increased if the spheres form aggregates because the aggregation of spheres (spheru-litic crystallites or crystals in this study)increases the appar-ent filler volume fraction.That is,the immobile portions (homogeneous molten PEN matrix in this study)caged by aggregated spheres also act as filler portion.On this assump-tion,it may be suggested that an application of higher shear rate during isothermal crystallization tends to increase the heterogeneous crystallization characteristics.Hence,the higher nucleation density and higher growth rate of the nucleated crystallites is obtained at higher frequency,and the resultant is more abundant with less stable a -form crys-tals (this will be discussed later in detail).The melt endotherms of quiescently and shear-induced crystallized PEN were shown in Fig.4and the correspond-ing peak temperatures are listed in Table 1.The double melting endotherm behavior is displayed during heating the PEN sample in the DSC cell.In the melting process of the shear-induced crystallized PEN sample,three endother-mic peaks are identified;a broad endotherm,a low endotherm (T m H ),and a high endotherm (T m HH )as shown in Fig.4.The broad endotherm might be due to the thermal history during cooling and reheating,and both low and high endotherms are due to the melting of original lamella and recrystallized one,respectively.These results well coincide with the results of Zachman et al.[20]:(1)no change of crystal modification is observed during DSC scanning;(2)the double melting behavior of PEN is due to the mechan-ism based on melting and recrystallization;(3)the b -form crystal has the T m higher than the a -form crystal by 2ЊC;and (4)the peaks of two forms of crystal are not separated in DSC thermogramsIn Fig.4(A)–(C)v 0rad =s indicates quiescent crystal-lization.(A)indicates that the PEN sample was crystallized at 230,240,and 250ЊC for the same time that required in the ARES experiments,and (B)expresses the PEN sample crys-tallized in an oil bath at the same temperature as in (A)for the time long enough to fully crystallize.Since the crystal-lization time in (A)is much shorter than in (B),an exother-mic peak is observed in the thermogram (A)at around 205ЊC.The v 0rad =s (b)curves in Fig.4(B)show a single melting peak.The T m shifts to higher temperature and peak width gets narrower as the crystallization time and tempera-ture are increased.This is attributable to the increased perfectness of the resultant crystal structure,which is observed more clearly when the sample is crystallized at higher temperature as can be seen in Fig.4(C).Only the b -form crystal exists when the sample is isothermally crys-tallized at 250ЊC after having melted at 300ЊC.This result matches well with the X-ray data.As mentioned the T m of the b -form crystal is higher than the a -form crystal by 2–4ЊC.It has been known that PEN has two different triclinic crystal structures.Buchner et al.reported that crystalW.J.Yoon et al./Polymer 41(2000)4933–49424940Fig.5.(continued )structures are influenced by both melting and isothermal crystallization temperature.They observed that the b -form crystal appeared mainly when PEN was isothermally crys-tallized above 230ЊC quiescently and the a -form crystal did below 230ЊC after having melted at 300ЊC [20].Fig.5presents WAXD patterns of PEN specimens shear-inducedcrystallized at (A)230ЊC,(B)240ЊC,(C)250ЊC at several frequencies.In Fig.5(A)the WAXD patterns for v 0rad =s shows diffraction peaks at 15.6and 23.3Њwhich correspond to (010)and (100)plane of the a -form crystal,respectively.The intensity of these peaks has a tendency to increase with increasing frequency.It means that the appli-cation of shear promotes the formation of the a -form crystal and the increase of frequency increases the content of the a -form crystal.In Fig.5(B)the (010)plane peak of the a -form crystal is smaller than that of the sample crystallized at 230ЊC in Fig.5(A)for v 0rad =s :However,the plane peak is increased with increasing frequency.In the case of the (100)plane peak,a shoulder appears at v 0rad =s :As frequency increases,the intensity of the plane peak standing for the a -form crystal shows tendency to increase.Particu-larly,for v 0rad =s in Fig.5(C)any plane peak of the a -form crystal is not observed,which is consistent with the results reported by Buchner et al.[20].The (010)and (100)plane peaks appear simultaneously,and keep on growing with increasing frequency.In addition,all diffraction peaks of Fig.5shift to lower angle when frequency is increased.This suggests that there is deformation in the crystal struc-tures as well.Thus,this X-ray trace of the sample is similar to those of Fig.5(A)and (B),suggesting similarity in the crystallization behavior at 230–250ЊC.In general,the b -form crystal is thermodynamically more stable but more difficult to nucleate than the a -form crystal and the form of the crystal is largely determined by kinetic factors during crystallization such as the rate of nucleation and spherulite growth [21].In the case of the a -form crystal,one chain passes through the unit cell and the chains in the crystal are extended.In the case of the b -form crystal,however,four chains pass through the unit cell and the chains in the crystal are not completely extended.When the polymer is sheared,the number of crystallites increases with shear rate,representing faster nucleation.Wolkowicz [14]mentioned that the number of crystallites increased exponentially with time at all shear rates.Also,this can be confirmed in Fig.6,which indicates that nuclea-tion becomes increasingly profuse with increasing frequency until the crystalline structure formed is no longer distinguishable with a microscope [3,22].Hence,the content of the a -form crystal in the speci-men increases with frequency because the a -form crys-tal is apt to nucleate due to fast nucleation.Consequently,the resultant a -form crystal is thermody-namically less stable than the b -form crystal because of much reduced entropy by molecular orientation under high shear force.References[1]Hill MJ,Keller A.J Macromol Sci

Observations and predictions of the behaviour of large,slow-moving landslides in schist,Clyde Dam reservoir,New ZealandD.F.MacfarlaneURS New Zealand Ltd,P O Box 4479,Christchurch,New Zealanda b s t r a c ta r t i c l e i n f o Article history:Received 11December 2007Received in revised form 10February 2009Accepted 12February 2009Available online 24February 2009Keywords:Landslide Monitoring Movement rate Rainfall effect PredictionMajor remedial works involving toe buttressing,pumped drainage,gravity drainage and/or in filtration protection were undertaken at nine of the seventeen large landslides along the Clyde dam reservoir margins prior to lake filling in 1992–1993.All 17landslides continue to be routinely monitored and inspected as part of the Dam Safety Assurance Programme undertaken by Contact Energy.Movement of the landslides is monitored by a combination of inclinometers,extensometers and survey,and is correlated with controlling events including lake filling,storms,floods,prolonged wet periods and earthquakes.Most monitoring records extend over periods of 15years,with some histories as long as 25years.Over 100years of rainfall records are available for nearby locations.Very small deformation responses attributable to lake filling occurred at four of the stabilized slides.Slightly accelerated movement occurred at one slide that had not been stabilized,and minor reactivation was detected at three others.Two landslides have demonstrated movement rate sensitivity to rainfall events.Neither slide was signi ficantly affected by lake filling.Monitoring records show that movement of a known ‘active ’part of the Brewery Creek landslide is triggered when a key piezometer reaches or exceeds a critical threshold level.Movement continues until the piezometer drops below that level.Movement of part of Ripponvale landslide increases following prolonged rainfall events.The slide was barely affected by lake filling and has not responded to subsequent transient increases in toe inundation levels (floods).Data from Zone A of the slide mass (which is entirely above the lake)shows the slide to be very sensitive to the effects of prolonged wet periods.Movement rates increase over a period of months and then gradually reduce.Based on the records to date,it can be predicted that the slide will exhibit an increased movement rate when the cumulative rainfall over a period of 3to 4months exceeds about 300mm.©2009Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionThe Clyde Power Station,owned by Contact Energy Ltd,is a 432MW run-of-river hydro-electric development on the Clutha River in the South Island of New Zealand.The headpond for the power station (Lake Dunstan)is retained by Clyde Dam,and is operated within a range of 1m.It inundates the toes of sixteen creeping or dormant landslides,mostly located along the Cromwell Gorge (Fig.1).In general,the land-slides are large but subtle features,lacking prominent scarps.Most are dip slope failures in mica schist,and the larger landslides exceed 200m in thickness.Geological evidence (e.g.McSaveney et al.,1992)indicates that they are at least 50,000years old and that some may be over 250,000years old.Stabilisation work involving toe buttressing,pumped drainage,gravity drainage and/or in filtration protection was implemented onnine of the landslides prior to lake filling,which was completed in September 1993.The stabilisation works were undertaken at those landslides that,because of their size,location or activity,posed un-acceptable risks of reservoir blockage or damaging wave generation.The objective was to offset the effects of lake filling on stability and preserve the creep behaviour exhibited over the last 16,000years evidenced by the deformation of,and/or extent of debris on,dated alluvial terraces at the toes of the landslides.Brown et al.(1993)describe the overall approach and main elements of the stabilisation programme.Stabilisation measures adopted for the treated landslides are summarised by Table 1.Prior to,during and since lake filling,movement rates,piezometric levels and drain flows have been continually monitored.The mon-itoring records for some instruments are now longer than 20years and the data provides an excellent record both of the effects of remedial works and of the long term response of the landslides to external factors such as earthquake,rainfall events and floods.Engineering Geology 109(2009)5–15E-mail address:don_macfarlane@.0013-7952/$–see front matter ©2009Elsevier

paper focuses on the response to rainfall events of two of the landslides,the Ripponvale Slide at the head of the Kawarau Arm of the lake,and the‘active portion’of Brewery Creek Slide,which is located within the Cromwell Gorge(Fig.1).2.Installed monitoring instrumentationIn the1980s and early1990s,prior to lakefilling,a large number of instruments were installed in the Clyde Dam reservoir landslidestoFig.1.Clyde dam landslides location map.Table1Characteristics and remedial measures for stabilised landslides.Slide Physical characteristics Stabilisation measuresArea(ha)Volume

D.F.Macfarlane/Engineering Geology109(2009)5–15monitor movement and groundwater levels before,during and after the filling of the lake (Macfarlane and Gillon,1996).The aim of the monitoring programme was to:•establish precedent rates of movement before the filling of the re-servoir (Lake Dunstan);•monitor the slide responses during and immediately after the filling period;and•allow on-going monitoring of slide activity.The installed instruments included:•Geodetic surveys from stable reference points to establish vectors of slope movement.•Key ray distance measurements 1to the geodetic survey pillars on the landslides to monitor the general pattern of slide surface movement.•Inclinometers installed to monitor the subsurface movement rates within the landslides,and at the basal movement plane.•Piezometers installed in many boreholes to document changing ground-water levels as the lake filling progressed included both single and multi level Casagrande type instruments,along with Westbay multi-port installations at selected locations.•Extensometers installed underground across slide base from the drain-age tunnels or on the surface across tension cracks.Many are tele-metered to enable real time monitoring of movements.•Flow measuring weirs established at drainage tunnel portals are tele-metered to enable real time monitoring of changes in total drainage flows.Monitoring data (other than telemetered data)was collected at twice-weekly to two-weekly intervals during lake filling.Monitoring requirements were reviewed and regular monitoring signi ficantly re-duced five years after the completion of lake filling.Regular monitoring at variable frequencies (depending on instrument type and criticality of its location)has continued to the present wherever key instruments have remained functional and/or accessible.3.Performance criteriaAs shown in Table 2,the landslides are classed as ‘major impact ’or ‘minor impact ’on the basis of their hazard potential.Major impact slides are those assessed as capable of blocking the gorge or gene-rating a damaging wave in the event of rapid failure.All landslides are regularly reviewed and classi fied as active,creep-ing or dormant on the basis of their current activity according to the following criteria:Active Slides:creep rate greater than 5mm/year Creeping Slides:creep rate 2–5mm/yearDormant Slides:creep rate less than 2mm/yearThe current (July 2008)activity status of the landslides is sum-marized by Table 2.4.Long term creep behaviorMany of the very large landslides in the Cromwell Gorge exhibit very slow long term creep trends that were only con firmed once there were several years of deformation monitoring records.For example,the Clyde Slide has a long term trend rate in the order of 4mm/year (e.g.see Fig.2)that is little affected by external events such as rainfall,lake filling or earthquake.Other slides (for example Byford Creek Slide,Fig.3)responded to lake filling but have since slowed to similar rates.5.Seismic stabilityOn average about 10earthquakes that generate shaking intensities of MM III or larger at the Clyde dam reservoir area are recorded each year.The seismicity results from New Zealand's location astride the active boundary between the Paci fic and Australian plates.Typical intensities at the reservoir area are MM III to MM V.Based on the NZ Seismic Hazard Model,it is estimated that MM VI shaking is likely to occur about once every 15years at this location and that MM VIII intensity shaking will occur about every 300years.On several occasions,piezometric levels and/or drainage hole flows have increased sharply in response to ground shaking (Fig.4)but no movement responses clearly attributable to earthquake have been detected since monitoring began.The size of earthquake that would induce a signi ficant movement response in any of the landslides is affected by a number of factors.Key factors include the MM intensity at the site,topographic and directivity effects,the types of landslide,geology and groundwater conditions.International experience suggests that MM VII to VIII intensity shak-ing may be required to initiate signi ficant slope movements although shallow instability can occur at lower shaking intensities.As noted by Gillon and Hancox (1992),despite the occurrence of large earthquakes in the area in at least the last 16,000years,none of the slides shows any evidence of ever having undergone large scale rapid movements.6.Rainfall patternsRainfall can have a signi ficant effect on slide displacement rates through loading of the slope,and reduction of effective shear strength on failure surfaces.Three signi ficant rainfall events in the post-lake fill period have acted as triggers for increased rates of slide movement or elevated groundwater levels at a number of the landslides around Lake Dunstan (e.g.Macfarlane and Gillon,1996).The nearest rain gauge to the Brewery Creek and Ripponvale landslides discussed in this paper is located at the town of Crom-well,less than 5km distant from both landslides (Fig.1).This rain gauge has a record extending over 100years,and the daily data since 1950was analysed in some detail for a study undertaken by URS (2004).From Fig.5it can be seen that,since 1950,the rainfall at Cromwell has fallen into three distinct periods:•rainfall was consistently below the long term monthly means from 1950to 1967,except for a period from late 1956to mid 19581Key ray surveys measure the shortening of a line oriented downslope.Table 2Current landslide activity

phase•three extended duration rainfall events have occurred since lake filling,each of them prominent and unusual features in the rain-fall records for Cromwell since 1950.These events occurred from December 1993to March 1994,September 1995to January 1996and November 1999to January 2000.Period 3in the residual mass curve 2(Fig.5)clearly demonstrates that since the filling of Lake Dunstan,Cromwell has experienced anunusually wet rainfall regime.Table 3lists the 10largest rainfall events at Cromwell since 1950and shows that three of the five,and six of the ten,wettest rainfall events have occurred since the filling of Lake Dunstan.Only one of the wettest events occurred in the decade before the lake was filled and there were no major rainfall events during the lake filling period.Fig.6shows monthly rainfall data that clearly highlights rainfall events between 1991and 2001,the period immediately prior to,dur-ing and since lake filling.The three prominent features are the wet months over the summer of 1993/94,the wet spring and summer of 1995,and the very wet December 1999,all of which occurred after lake filling was completed.Following each event,groundwater levels rose sharply and drain-age flows increased at several slides but only some slides showed small deformation responses.Groundwater levels and flows gradually fall to pre-event levels,and deformation rates decrease.The data show that full recovery can take over 12months.Fig.2.Long term creep trend exhibited by large,slow moving Clyde landslide varies between 2mm/year and 4mm/year.2The technique of calculating and plotting a residual mass curve from the monthly rainfall totals was developed in the 1950s and used to analyse rainfall in the design of the Snowy Mountains scheme.The procedure involves comparing each monthly value to the mean for that month,expressing the difference as a percentage of the mean and accumulating this value month by month.Each monthly cumulative percentage departure from the mean is then plotted as shown in Fig.5.8 D.F.Macfarlane /Engineering Geology 109(2009)5–157.Responses to rainfall eventsTwo landslides that have demonstrated movement rate sensitivity to rainfall events are discussed here.Neither the Brewery Creek Land-slide (Active Portion)nor Zone A of the Ripponvale Slide (Downstream Segment)was directly affected by lake filling.Consequently,the be-haviour of these two slopes can be related directly to rainfall responses.Neither slope exhibits earthquake responses and both slopes are well below the winter snow line,rarely affected by snowfalls and not mea-surably affected by snowmelt.Both landslides have formed in mica schist.The Ripponvale Slide is a complex,deep seated dip-slope failure on the limb of an antiform,while the Brewery Creek Active Portion is a relatively simple,shal-lower failure within the much larger Brewery Creek Slide.7.1.Brewery Creek Slide,Active PortionThe “Active Portion ”is a 1Mm 3failure within the main Brewery Creek Slide (Figs.7and 8).It has an inferred maximum depth of 27m and fails along a surface within the basal failure zone of the main landslide,which is up to 11m thick.The Active Portion contains thin,compartmentalized perched aquifers;these occur predominantly within the sheared and crushed rock of the basal failure zone and immediately above it.The aquifers are fully above and isolatedfromFig.5.Residual mass curve of Cromwell monthly rainfall 1950–2001.the lake.Remedial works include a cross-slope drainage curtain of holes drilled vertically from a tunnel beneath the landslide and extending to within 8m of the ground surface,surface runoff control,and targeted toe drains (Figs.7and 8).As summarised by Table 4,several discrete movement events have been monitored in varying detail since re-activation of the “Active Por-tion ”of Brewery Creek Slide in September 1983was caused by earth-works for highway reconstruction.Instruments installed for monitoring included survey marks (pre-fixed BC-on Figs.7and 8)),inclinometers (IDL-),extensometers (RX-)and piezometers (DL-).Many of these have been destroyed during the monitored slope movement events.In addition,various remedial works have been implemented over the monitoring period.The failure surface perches an aquifer which rises in response to prolonged wet periods or heavy rainfall events (Macfarlane et al.,1999).Piezometric rises are re flected in drainage flow increases after such events,and initiate increased movements which continue for periods of a few months.Movement ceases after total drainage flows reduce to below about 30l/min.Since 1983,there has been only one occasion that the monthly rainfall has exceeded 100mm without an associated increase in the movement rate of the Active Portion being detected.Fig.9is a composite movement history as shown by (failed)inclinometers IDL-566,IDL-1737(with overlapping history)and IDL-2070,and by rod extensometer BRERX-01.As can be seen on Fig.9,since 1990there is a clear relationship between certain rainfall events,increased piezo-metric levels in the perched aquifer (as shown by piezometer DL-50C)and accelerated movements.Four piezometers used as indicator instruments generally record minor water level rises (typically 0.3to 0.6m)following those rain-fall events which lead to accelerated movement of the Active Portion.Other piezometers are located in lower permeability materials and show no clear pattern of response to rainfall.Since construction of the drainage curtain,DL-528D (a piezometer downslope from the curtain)has not responded to rainfall events.The repeated movements have destroyed inclinometers and many of the piezometers installed in the slide.It is now monitored by a combination of survey marks,surface extensometers,rainfall,piezo-meters and drainage flow monitoring.Key instruments are logged to provide a detailed record of landslide behaviour.Close monitoring of the slide has allowed detection of quite small movements (as little as 6mm)caused by rainfall events.A clear relationship between certain rainfall events,increased piezo-metric levels in the slide mass and accelerated movements was demonstrated in 1991and 1992,1993/94,1995,and 1999/2000.The largest movements attributed to piezometric rises have occurred after prolonged wet periods in 1993/94,1995(Events 7and 8)and 2000(Event 10).There is a reasonable correlation between slide movement epi-sodes and the piezometric level in the indicator piezometer DL-50C,with movement generally occurring when it rises above EL 280.9or EL 281.0m.Movement rates decrease as the slide dries out and the slide does not move while dry conditions prevail.The established pattern of acceleration and deceleration with variation in piezometric levels within the slide mass is expected to continue.7.2.Ripponvale SlideRipponvale Slide is located 10to 13km upstream of Cromwell (see Fig.1)and the head of the slide follows the ridgeline,up to 500m above the lake.It covers an area of about 300ha and has an estimated volume in the order of 120Mm 3.Ripponvale is currently the most active of the landslides monitored by Contact Energy along the Clyde dam reservoir.It is considered to be a low impact slide as there is only a small risk that any failure would affect the safety of Clyde dam or the town ofCromwell.Fig.6.Monthly rainfall at Cromwell 1991–2001.This shows the three signi ficant rainfall events that have occurred since lake filling was completed.Table 3Rainfall events at

August/September 1993,the lake extended about 2km into the Kawarau Gorge and flooded the toe slopes of some of the downstream parts of the slide.Since lake filling,rates of movement recorded at the slide have increased.Possible explanations for this include a response to the lake filling,or a response to rainfall events that have occurred since that time.Currently (April 2007)movement rates in all zones areslowing and appear to be returning to rates similar to the pre-lake (precedent)rates.7.3.Geology and geomorphologyThe slide is subdivided into two main sections on the basis of surface topography,geology,and lake level at the toe.The Main SlideisFig.8.Active Portion cross section AA (Fig.7),looking downvalley.yout and instrumentation of Brewery Creek Slide ‘Active Portion ’.11D.F.Macfarlane /Engineering Geology 109(2009)5–15upstream from the lake.Only the Downstream Segment,which bord-ers the lake,is considered in this paper.The Downstream Segment of the landslide extends along some 1.3km of the gorge,and is divided into three zones:•Zone A is the downstream part with geomorphology suggestive of recent surficial instability,and with a toe breakout zone well above the lake.•Zone B is the central section,which has common schist outcrops in the lower slopes,a distinctive area of tension cracks and graben structures on the upper slopes,and a relatively deep seated move-ment zone.•Zone C is the upstream part.It lacks continuous schist outcrop along the lake edge and includes a zone of multiple shallower movement zones(Lobe1on Fig.10).From the pattern of in situ schist outcrop along the lake shoreline, it is clear that the base of the slide in Zone A is entirely above lake level,while in Zone C and at least the upstream part of Zone B the slide base appears to be below lake level.Because Zone A is entirely above lake level it was not directly affected by lakefilling.The failure surface in this part of the slide is shallow,and the overall slope is steep(Fig.11).Surface features show little evidence for surface water,indicating that rainfall infiltrates into and is held in the slope,and is probably able to percolate rapidly to the failure surface.These factors result in this zone responding very obviously to the rainfall events that have occurred since late1993. Zone A records the fastest movement rates monitored on the slide.7.4.Monitored slide responsesSlide monitoring data shows that the slide reacts to rainfall events by increasing its rate of movement.Zone A is significantly more sen-sitive to rainfall effects than either Zone B or Zone C.This is partly because the failure surfaces in Zones B and C are partially wetted at all times,and partly because the Zone A slopes are much steeper and have shallower failure surfaces.The rate of movement slows again over a period of time,typically months to a few years.There have been no significant rainfall events since2000and the slide has responded by slowing to some of the lowest measured rates of movement.This indicates that the ground-water changes following a significant rainfall event may take3years or more to dissipate completely.Assessment of the movement monitoring data is based on trends in the data,not on changes between individual readings as these can be affected by errors or non-typical behaviours.In this paper,only the behaviour of Zone A is described as this part of the landslide is clearly isolated from any possible lake effects and was not

toe (RV 07K)occurred between late 1993and mid 1994.The rates of movement showed a sharp increase from mid-1995,gradually reduced to about 40mm/year,then increased again from early 2000and have since been reducing.The current movement rates are similar to those recorded at the start of lake filling.7.6.Response to lake fillingLake Dunstan was filled in 3stages between April 1992and Sep-tember 1993.The lake raises from EL 180,EL 185and EL 190all affected the river in front of Zone A,but there was no signi ficant change in slide movement rate recorded by surveys until after the December 1993key ray surveys,3months after the completion of lake filling.No instruments in Zone A detected changed movement rates that could be attributed to lake filling effects.7.7.Responses to rainfallThe most dramatic measured increases in surface displacement rates at Ripponvale Slide have occurred in Zone A.As shown by Fig.12,there was a signi ficant rate increase after the wet summer of 1993/94.Rate increases also occurred after December 1995,and again after April 2000,in each case following signi ficant wet periods.The main cause of the increased rate of movement in Zone A is inferred to have been elevated groundwater levels within the slope consequent upon these prolonged or signi ficant rainfall events.The long term rate of surface movement indicated over the 1949–1991period by photogrammetric interpretation of boulder move-ments (35mm/year)was not matched by any of the instruments in this zone during lake filling.Until recently,movement rates since the wet summer of 1993/94have been consistently higher than the long term rate indicated by the boulder movements.8.Predicting landslide responsesSlow moving landslides are monitored at several other locations around the world,including British Columbia (eg.Downie Slide,Dutchman's Ridge),Switzerland (eg.Campo Vallemaggia),France (La Clapière)and Ecuador (Ingapata).Although deep drainage solutions have been described from some of these (e.g.Bonzangio et al.,2007for Campo Vallemaggia;Imrie et al.,1992for Downie;Moore and Imrie1992for Dutchman's Ridge),speci fic documentation of their responses to rainfall is dif ficult to find.Rainfall effects have been noted at Campo Vallemaggia (Bonzangio et al.,2007)and implied for Downie Slide (Imrie et al.,1992)but neither example is directly comparable to the Brewery Creek and Ripponvale Slides —at Campo Vallemaggia the response was to an extreme rainfall event that triggered an acceleration of the slide mass and caused two large slips within the slide;at Downie much of the annual precipitation falls as snow and it is not clear whether there is a direct rainfall effect.In contrast,the rainfall response of both the Brewery Creek Active Portion and Ripponvale Slides has been speci fically investigated by Contact Energy (Macfarlane et al.,1999;URS,2004).The detailed monitoring records from the Ripponvale and Brewery Creek landslides show that the general pattern of their response to rainfall events is predictable with a high level of con fidence.For the Brewery Creek Active Portion,the onset of renewed move-ment and the reduction in movement rate both show a good cor-relation with the piezometric level in DL50C.Slowing commences soon after the piezometer falls below the trigger level,and the cessation of movement occurs quickly.In general,the slope appears to be re-activated if the monthly rainfall at Cromwell exceeds 100mm or the cumulative rainfall at Cromwell over a period of 3to 4months exceeds about 300mm.It is not so easy to identify the trigger point for renewed move-ment at Ripponvale Slide because there are no sensitive instruments measuring movements or piezometric levels.However,based on the records to date,it can be predicted that the slide will exhibit an increased movement rate when the cumulative rainfall at Cromwell over a period of 3to 4months exceeds about 300mm,and that the movement rate will gradually reduce over a period of 12to 24months.9.ConclusionsThe detailed monitoring data for the Ripponvale Slide and the Active Portion of Brewery Creek Slide has allowed clear demonstration of cumulative rainfall effects on these two large,slow moving landslides.Both landslides have a long movement history on well-de fined failure surfaces at residual strength.The data show that the cumulative rainfall effect is to elevate piezometric pressures to a trigger point at which movement is reactivated.Movement rates then decline astheFig.12.Ripponvale Slide,Zone A.Key ray

Copper(II)tetrafluoroborate as a novel and highly efficientcatalyst for acetal formationRaj Kumar and Asit K.Chakraborti *Department of Medicinal Chemistry,National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER),S ector 67,S .A.S .Nagar,Punjab 160062,IndiaReceived 24July 2005;revised 23September 2005;accepted 28September 2005Available online 11October 2005Dedicated to Professor Mark S.CushmanAbstract—Commercially available copper(II)tetrafluoroborate hydrate has been found to be a highly efficient catalyst for dimethyl/diethyl acetal formation in high yields from aldehydes and ketones by reaction with trimethyl/triethyl orthoformate at room tem-perature and in short period.Acetalisation was carried out under solvent-free conditions with electrophilic aldehydes/ketones.For weakly electrophilic aldehydes/ketones (e.g.,benzaldehyde,cinnamaldehyde and acetophenone)and for aldehydes having a substi-tuent that can coordinate with the catalyst,the corresponding alcohol was used as solvent.Ó2005Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionProtection of aldehyde and ketone carbonyl groups is a frequently desired exercise in organic synthesis as it is often necessary to carry out a reaction on a multifunc-tional substrate without affecting an aldehyde/ketone group.One convenient method of protecting aldehydes and ketones is to convert them into the corresponding acetals.1Acetalisation can be achieved by treatment with alcohols in the presence of a protic 1,2or Lewis 1,3acid catalyst.A common regimen for acetal formation is protic 1,4or Lewis 1,5acid catalysed reaction of alde-hydes and ketones with trialkyl orthoformates.Other methods use MeOH–PhSO 2NHOH–MeONa,1b alkoxy-silanes in the presence of TMSOTf,1b (EtO)3CH–DDQ–EtOH 6and CAN–Na 2CO 3–ROH.7However,these methods have one or more drawbacks such as long reaction times,high temperatures,use of costly re-agents/catalysts,use of additional reagents,requirement of special efforts for catalyst preparation,requirement of stoichiometric amount of the catalysts,the need to use special apparatus and moderate yields and side reac-tions.Thus,the development of an improved method is still desirable.2.Results and discussionsWhen designing a new method,we realised that the use of trialkyl orthoformates as the acetalisation agent in the presence of a suitable transition metal catalyst should constitute a better procedure operable under mild conditions.The efficiency of the method would depend upon the coordination property of the metal catalyst to activate trialkyl orthoformate and/or the carbonyl substrate.Recently,we have reported that copper(II)tetrafluoroborate is an excellent catalyst for electrophilic activation during acylation,8diacetate for-mation 9and thia-Michael addition 10reactions.In this report,we disclose a highly efficient acetal formation reaction catalysed by copper(II)tetrafluoroborate (Scheme 1).Various aldehydes and ketones were treated

provided in Table 1.Substituted benzaldehydes with Me,Cl,Br,NO 2and OCOPh groups (entries 1–7),1-naphthaldehyde (entry 8),9-anthraldehyde (entry 9),aryl alkyl aldehydes (entries 10and 11)and saturated cyclic ketones (entries 12and 13)afforded excellent results after 2–15min.The reac-tions could also be monitored visually:immediately after the addition of the catalyst to the mixture of alde-hyde and trimethyl orthoformate an exothermic reaction takes place and the reaction mixture becomes homoge-neous (for solid aldehydes)indicating completion of ace-tal formation.In the case of 9-anthraldehyde,as the product was solid,a small excess (3equiv)of trimethyl orthoformate was required.In the cases of benzaldehyde,cinnamaldehyde,aceto-phenone and aldehydes bearing substituents that are capable of coordinating with the metal ion,the acetalformation was slow under neat conditions.However,in these cases,the reactions proceeded well using MeOH as solvent affording excellent yields (Table 2).The phenyl/styryl groups in benzaldehyde,cinnamalde-hyde and acetophenone made aldehyde/ketone carbonyl less electrophilic due to resonance and inhibited the effective formation of coordinate bonds with the cata-lyst.For aldehydes bearing substituents that can coordi-nate with the metal cation (e.g.,OR,F,CN,NMe 2,etc.)no effective activation of trimethyl orthoformate by the metal salt took place and acetal formation was retarded.The moderate yield obtained with 4-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde after 12h (Table 2,entry 6)supported the role of a coordinating effect of the substituent in influencing acetal parison of acetal for-mation from 4-methylbenzaldehyde,4-chlorobenzalde-hyde and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (Table 1,entries 1–3)with those from 4-methoxybenzaldehyde,4-fluorobenz-aldehyde and 4-cyanobenzaldehyde (Table 2,entries 2–4),respectively,highlighted the coordinating effect of the substituents in the latter cases.The role of MeOH may be explained by the fact that initial reaction ofTable 2.Cu(BF 4)2Æx H 2O catalysed dimethyl acetal formation from aldehydes/ketones in dry MeOH aEntryAldehyde/ketone Time (min)Yield (%)b ,cCHO1R =H

formation.4Since there are limited reports for diethyl acetal forma-tion,3e,f,4,5c–e,gwe planned to evaluate the catalytic effi-ciency of Cu(BF 4)2Æx H 2O during the reaction of a few representative aldehydes and ketones with triethyl orthoformate (Table 3).Excellent results were obtained in each case.As observed in the case of dimethyl acetal formation,the reactions of benzaldehyde,cinnamaldehyde and aceto-phenone required dry EtOH as solvent for diethyl acetal formation.A comparison of the results of entries 1and 6(Table 2)prompted us to study selective acetal formation during intermolecular competition between benzaldehyde 1and 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde 2.Thus,a mixture of 1(2.5mmol)and 2(2.5mmol)in dry MeOH (1mL)was treated with trimethyl orthoformate (5mmol)in the presence of Cu(BF 4)2Æx H 2O (1mol %)for 5min at room temperature (Scheme 2).Excellent selectivity was observed,(dimethoxymethyl)benzene 3and 4-(dimethoxymethyl)-N ,N -dimethylaniline 4were formed in a ratio of 88:12(NMR).Similarly,the differ-ence in the rate of reaction of 1and acetophenone 5(Table 2,compare the results of entries 1and 11)encouraged us to study the selectivity of acetal forma-tion during inter-and intramolecular competition stud-ies involving aldehyde and ketone carbonyl groups.Thereaction of 1(2.5mmol)and 5(2.5mmol)with trimethyl orthoformate (5mmol)in dry MeOH (1mL)in the pres-ence of Cu(BF 4)2Æx H 2O (1mol %)at room temperature for 5min (Scheme 2)resulted in the formation of 3and 2,2-dimethoxy-1-phenylethane 6in a ratio of 86:14(NMR).The reaction of 4-acetylbenzaldehyde 7(2.5mmol)with trimethyl orthoformate (5mmol)in MeOH (1mL)in the presence of Cu(BF 4)2Æx H 2O (1mol %)for 5min at room temperature resulted in the formation of 4-(dimethoxymethyl)acetophenone 8and 2,2-dimethoxy-(40-dimethoxymethyl)-1-phenyl-ethane 9in a ratio of 77:23(GCMS).3.ConclusionsWe have described herein the use of Cu(BF 4)2Æx H 2O as ahighly efficient and reusable catalyst for dimethyl and diethyl acetal formation at room temperature.The advantages include,(i)the use of a cheap,easy to handle and commercially available catalyst,(ii)room tempera-ture reaction conditions,(iii)short reaction times,(iv)high yields and (v)excellent chemoselectivity.4.Experimental4.1.Typical procedure for acetal formation under neat conditionsTo a

Computational noteElectronic dipole polarizabilities of polychlorinated dibenzofurans and semiempirical PM6level performanceAndrea Alparone,Vito Librando *Research Centre for Analysis,Monitoring and Minimization Methods of Environmental Risk,Department of Chemistry,University of Catania,viale A.Doria 8,Catania I-95125,ItalyPolychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs)are widespread and per-sistent environmental contaminants [1].Electronic dipole polariz-abilities (a )of PCDFs were previously computed at the B3LYP level with cc-pVDZ,6-31G Ãand 6-31G ÃÃbasis sets in order to elucidate the effect of the substituent position on the congener specific tox-icity [2,3]and aqueous solubility [4].Recently,semiempirical PM6method [5]has been implemented in MOPAC 2007package [6],giving satisfactory estimates of molecular properties such as heats of formation [5]and electronic a values [7,8].This work is principally concerned on the validation of the PM6method in the determination of a values,focusing attention on DF and the 135PCDF congeners (Fig.S1of the Supporting Material).Static a ij (i,j =x ,y ,z )components were calculated at the AM1,PM3and PM6levels.Additionally,we computed a ij values for DF and its octacloro substituted congener at the HF,MP2and PBE0levels with aug-cc-pVDZ basis set on the B3LYP/6-31G ÃÃgeometry.Present computations were performed with MOPAC 2007[6]and PC GAMESS [9,10]programs.Calculated average polarizability,h a i ¼1=3ða xx þa yy þa zz Þ,and polarizability anisotropy,D a ¼f 1½ða xx Àa yy Þ2þða xx Àa zz Þ2þða yy Àa zz Þ2þ6ða 2xy þa 2xz þa 2yz Þ g 1=2,are given in Tables S1–S3of the Supporting Material.The results show that PM6is noticeably superior to both the commonly em-ployed semiempirical AM1and PM3methods,reproducing the PBE0/aug-cc-pVDZ (and also MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ)h a i values of DF and 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-OCDF within 5a.u.(2–3%)and D a data within 8–11a.u.(3–8%),geometrical effects (PM6vs.B3LYP/6-31G ÃÃ)being almost negligible.Note that the corresponding deviations for h a i obtained using the AM1,PM3and B3LYP/6-31G ÃÃ[3]data are substantially larger,being 36–94a.u.(25–34%),41–76a.u.(27–28%),24–47a.u.(16–17%),respectively,while those for D a are 22–25a.u.(9–20%),16–43a.u.(12–18%)and 11–14a.u.(4–11%),respectively.However,least-mean squared fitting linear relationships between the semiempirical and B3LYP/6-31G ÃÃh a i and D a data (See Figs.S2and S3of the Supporting Material)aresatisfactory (r 2=0.97–1.00).As can be appreciated from Figs.S4and S5of the Supporting Material,on passing from PM6to AM1(PM3),h a i and D a values decrease and increase by 21–33%(26–28%)and 13–31%(19–23%),respectively.These discrepancies are principally originated from differences in the out of the plane polarizability component.Due to its relatively low computational cost and good accuracy,PM6is a promising method for the predic-tion of a of large p -conjugated systems and is particularly indi-cated for QSPR studies.AcknowledgementWork partially supported by MIUR,Rome.Appendix A.Supplementary dataSupplementary data associated with this article can be found,in the online version,at doi:10.1016/j.theochem.2008.09.023.References[1]S.Safe,Crit.Rev.Toxicol.21(1990)51.[2]S.Hirokawa,T.Imasaka,T.Imasaka,Chem.Res.Toxicol.18(2005)232.[3]C.Gu,X.Jiang,X.Ju,G.Yu,Y.Bian,Chemosphere 67(2007)1325.[4]G.Yang,X.Zhang,Z.Wang,H.Liu,X.Ju,J.Mol.Struct.(Theochem)766(2006)25.[5]J.J.P.Stewart,J.Mol.Model.13(2007)1173.[6]J.J.P.Stewart,MOPAC 2007,Stewart Computational Chemistry,Colorado Springs,CO,USA,[7]T.Puzyn,N.Suzuki,M.Haranczyk,J.Rak,J.Chem.Inf.Model.48(2008)1174.[8]A.Alparone,V.Librando,Z.Minniti,Chem.Phys.Lett.460(2008)151.[9]M.W.Schmidt,K.K.Baldridge,J.A.Boatz,S.T.Elbert,M.S.Gordon,J.H.Jensen,S.Koseki,N.Matsunaga,K.A.Nguyen,S.J.Su,T.L.Windus,M.Dupuis,J.A.Montgomery,put.Chem.14(1993)1347.[10]A.A.Granovsky,PC GAMESS version 7.0,Available from:<http://classic.chem.msu.su/gran/gamess/index.html/>.0166-1280/$-see front matter Ó2008Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.theochem.2008.09.023*Corresponding author.Tel.:+39957385201;fax:+3995580138.E-mail address:vlibrando@unict.it (V.Librando).Journal of Molecular Structure:THEOCHEM 894(2009)128Contents lists available at ScienceDirectJournal of Molecular Structure:THEOCHEMj o ur na l h o me pa ge :w w w.e ls e v ie r.c o m/lo c a t e/t he o c hem。
