00:01 | Welcome to this tutorial on Measurements and Labeling in Jmol Application. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn to: |
00:09 | Create models of carboxylic acid and nitroalkane. |
00:14 | Label atoms in a model with symbol and number. |
00:19 | Measure bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles. |
00:24 | To follow this tutorial, you should know |
00:27 | how to create and edit molecular models in Jmol Application. |
00:32 | If not, watch the relevant tutorials available on our website. |
00:37 | To record this tutorial, I am using: |
00:39 | Ubuntu OS version 12.04 |
00:44 | Jmol version 12.2.2 and |
00:47 | Java version 7. |
00:50 | Let's go through the steps on how to build a carboxyl group using this animation. |
00:56 | As an example, we will create a model of Ethanoic acid, commonly known as Acetic acid. |
01:03 | We will begin with a model of Ethane. |
01:06 | We have to convert one of the methyl groups to a carboxyl group. |
01:11 | Substitute two hydrogens attached to the same carbon atom with hydroxy group. |
01:18 | Delete hydrogens attached to one of the oxygen and Carbon. |
01:23 | Convert Carbon-Oxygen bond to a double-bond. |
01:26 | Methyl group is converted to a Carboxyl group. |
01:31 | Observe that Ethane is converted to Ethanoic acid. |
01:35 | We will follow the above steps and create the model of Ethanoic acid in Jmol application. |
01:42 | This is a model of Ethane on Jmol panel. |
01:46 | Let us convert a methyl group to a carboxyl group. |
01:50 | Select oxygen from the Modelkit menu. |
01:54 | Click on the hydrogens attached to the same carbon atom. |
01:58 | Now, check against Delete atom option in the modelkit menu. |
02:02 | Delete the hydrogen attached to the oxygen. |
02:07 | And also, delete hydrogen attached to the carbon. |
02:11 | Then, let us introduce a double-bond between carbon and oxygen. |
02:16 | So, check double option in the modelkit menu |
02:20 | and click on the bond connecting carbon and oxygen. |
02:25 | We have a model of Acetic acid on screen. |
02:28 | Do the energy minimization to optimize the structure. |
02:32 | We will follow a similar strategy to create a nitro group. |
02:37 | Here is the Jmol panel with a model of ethane. |
02:40 | Now, let us convert this molecule to nitro-ethane. |
02:45 | Click on the modelkit menu and check against Nitrogen. |
02:50 | Click on the hydrogen atom in the ethane molecule. |
02:54 | Nitrogen atom is represented as blue sphere. |
02:58 | Next, we will substitute two hydrogens attached to the nitrogen with a hydroxy group. |
03:04 | Click on the modelkit menu and check against Oxygen (O). |
03:10 | Then click on the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen. |
03:14 | Delete the hydrogens attached to the oxygen atoms. |
03:18 | Open modelkit menu and check against delete atom. |
03:23 | Click on the hydrogen attached to the oxygen atoms. |
03:26 | Now, we will introduce a double-bond between nitrogen and oxygen atoms. |
03:32 | Check the “double” option in the modelkit menu. |
03:36 | Click on the bond connecting nitrogen and oxygen atoms. |
03:40 | This is a model of nitroethane on the panel. |
03:44 | As an assignment-,Create models of 1-butanoic acid and ethylacetate. |
03:50 | Optimize the structure by doing energy minimization and |
03:53 | Save the image. |
03:56 | Your completed assignment should look as follows. |
04:02 | Let's go back to the Jmol panel. |
04:04 | This is the model of 1-butanoic acid on screen. |
04:08 | Let us learn to label the atoms in the model. |
04:12 | We do this with symbols corresponding to the element and number. |
04:17 | Open the Display menu and select Label from the scroll down menu. |
04:22 | Select “Symbol” option to label all the atoms with the symbol corresponding to the element. |
04:29 | "Name” option will give both symbol and the number. |
04:34 | "Number" option will give only numbering of atoms. |
04:37 | One can erase the labels from the model using the "None" option. |
04:43 | We can also use the Pop-up menu to do all the above modifications. |
04:48 | Right-click on the panel to open the Pop-up menu and check the various options. |
04:55 | Distance between any two atoms in a molecule can be measured using Tools menu. |
05:01 | Before we measure, open the modelkit menu and click on minimize. |
05:07 | Energy minimization is now done and the model is in the most stable conformation. |
05:14 | Now, click on Tools menu, select Distance Units. |
05:20 | Select options from the sub-menu according to the requirement. |
05:25 | For example, I will choose Angstrom. |
05:28 | So, the bond lengths I measure, will be in Angstrom units. |
05:34 | Click on Rotate molecule icon and bring the cursor to the panel. |
05:42 | I will measure the distance between atoms 9 and 4. |
05:46 | First, double-click on the starting atom which is atom number 9. |
05:52 | To fix the measurement, double-click on the ending atom which is atom number 4. |
05:58 | The bond length is now displayed on the screen. |
06:02 | Let's do some more measurements of bond lengths. |
06:05 | Let's measure the bond-length between carbon and oxygen double-bond. |
06:10 | So, double-click on atom number 5 and bring the cursor to atom number 7 and double-click on it. |
06:19 | Similarly, let's measure the carbon and oxygen single-bond distance. |
06:25 | So, double-click on atom number 5 and bring the cursor to atom number 6 and double-click on it. |
06:34 | We can see that on the panel all the bond lengths are displayed. |
06:39 | We can also measure bond-angles and dihedral angles in a model. |
06:44 | For example- we will measure the bond angle between atoms 9, 4 and 1. |
06:51 | Double-click on atom number 9 and then click on atom 4. |
06:56 | To fix the angle measurement, double-click on atom number 1. |
07:01 | We can see the bond-angle displayed on the screen. |
07:05 | Let's measure another bond-angle, say, between atoms 1, 5 and 6. |
07:12 | Double-click on atom number 1, click on atom number 5 and lastly double-click on atom number 6. |
07:23 | Measurement of torsional or dihedral angle involves 4 atoms. |
07:29 | So, we will choose atoms 8, 4, 1 and 2. |
07:34 | For measurement of dihedral angle, first double-click on atom number 8. |
07:39 | Click on the atom number 4 and then on atom number 1. |
07:43 | And lastly, to fix the dihedral angle measurement, double-click on atom number 2. |
07:50 | We can see the dihedral angle measurement displayed on the screen. |
07:55 | Values of all measurements made, can be viewed in a tabular form. |
08:00 | Click on “Click atom to measure distances” icon in the tool bar. |
08:06 | Measurements dialog-box opens on the panel. |
08:10 | It has a list of all the measurements made so far. |
08:14 | We can now save the image and exit the application. |
08:17 | Let's summarize: |
08:19 | In this tutorial, we have learnt to- |
08:22 | Create models of carboxylic acid and nitroalkane. |
08:26 | Label atoms in a model with symbol of the element and number. |
08:31 | Measure bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles. |
08:36 | For the assignment- |
08:38 | Create models of molecules with single, double and triple bonds. |
08:43 | Measure bond lengths between the carbon atoms. |
08:45 | And compare them. |
