“…In recent years, the oximation-dehydration of aldehydes with hydroxylamine salts to synthesize nitriles has attracted the attention of researchers. [14][15][16][17] In our previous study, we reported the reaction of HMF with a hydroxylamine aqueous solution to obtain HMFO, with 98% conversion and 88% HMFC yield under the conditions of n(HMF) : n(NH 2 OH) = 1 : 1.5, H 2 O as the solvent, and 55 °C for 5 min. Based on this, the HMFC yield reached 100% when hydroxylamine zinc chloride salt (ZnCl 2 •2NH 2 OH) was used as the nitrogen source when the reaction was carried out at 100 °C for 20 min.…”

“…Beside a wide distribution of natural products, benzonitrile as a simplest nitrogen-bearing aromatic molecules has been discovered recently in the interstellar medium. , Benzonitrile and its derivatives are comprising an important class of organic compounds in the chemical industry. This is a stable compound for pyrolysis, an essential process in the synthesis of benzoic acid, benzylamine, benzamide, pesticides, and fatty amines, and dyes could be precursors for the synthesis of benzylamine, which can be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. , …”

The content and the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation analysis here are inspired by our recent ab initio calculation on benzonitrile (BZN), whereas the present results are to expand and develop macroscopic documentation involving data verification. MD simulations of the bulk liquid BZN in the range of 293–323 K unravel the hydrogen bond (−C≡N···H) formation with strength in the order of ortho -H ≫ meta -H ∼> para -H. The possibility for ortho -Hs to get involved in the formation of two bonds simultaneously confirms each having σ- and π-bonding features. Accordingly, we used vast efforts for structural analysis particularly based on the deconvolution of the corresponding complex correlation functions. Specific angle-dependent correlation functions led to the recognition of the molecular stacking with a strict anti-parallel orientation. The in-plane dimer and trimer also take part in the structural recognition. A singularity, found in the trend of the simulated temperature-dependent viscosity and diffusion coefficient of liquid BZN, is centered at about 313 K and quite fascinatingly emulates the reported experiment viscosity. An interplay between a small change in the trend of density and a large change in the corresponding viscosity is a key factor in supporting the singularity. Deconvolution of the simulation results allows attributing the singularity to structural alteration involving H-bonding of different types and extent. Approaching the range of 308–313 K, an alteration between hydrogen bond formation involving mostly ortho -Hs and mixed ortho -Hs + meta -H is possible and supports the singularity.

This manuscript is devoted to classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies of the bulk and surface properties of liquid benzonitrile (BZN) in the temperature range of 293-323K. The content and the simulation-analysis are inspired by our recent ab initio calculation on benzonitrile, whereas present results are to expand and develop macroscopic documentation involving data verification. We investigate the molecular stacking that involves phenyl ring, which is notably absent in the counterpart acetonitrile solvent. MD simulations of the bulk liquid unravel the hydrogen bond (C≡N⋯H) formation and strength, in the order of ortho-H >> meta-H ~>para-H. The possibility for ortho-H’s to get involved in the formation of two bonds simultaneously confirms each having - and -bonding features. The singularity centered at about 313 K found in the trend of the simulated temperature-dependent viscosity and diffusion coefficient of liquid BZN goes alongside the reported experiment, and the phenomenon may root from a change in the internal frictional motion of the molecular cluster in stacking modes. Accordingly, we used vast efforts for analysis particularly based on the deconvolution of the corresponding complex correlation functions. Specific angle-dependent correlation functions led to the recognition of the stacking molecules and their strict orientational character by utilizing relative molecular twist angles. Recognition of the strict orientational character of the stacking molecules, as a clue to the singularity in the viscosity trend, will be discussed based on specific angle-dependent correlation functions.
