In this work, we study the interactions between adamantane-like structures B4X6 with X = {CH2, NH, O ; SiH2, PH, S} and dihydrogen molecules above the Boron atom, with ab initio methods based on perturbation theory (MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ). Molecular electrostatic potentials (MESP) for optimized B4X6 systems, optimized geometries, and binding energies are reported for all B4X6:nH2 (n = 1–4) complexes. All B4X6:nH2 (n = 1–4) complexes show attractive patterns, with B4O6:nH2 systems showing remarkable behavior with larger binding energies and smaller B···H2 distances as compared to the other structures with different X.

Ab initio methods were used to study the binding energies of non-bonded complexes formed by melamine and cyclotrione, with the STO-3G, 3-21G and 6-31G (d) basis sets. The electronic spectra were computed using the INDO/CIS method, and the IR spectra, Raman and NMR spectra with the RHF/6-31G (d)method. It was demonstrated that the complexes could be formed because of the negative binding energies, which were changed with the change in the electronic properties of the monomers. A red-shift of the first absorptions in the electronic spectra and the vibrational frequencies of the N-H bonds in the IR and Raman spectra of the complexes, compared with those of the monomers, occurred; simultaneously, the 1Hand 13C chemical shifts were altered, due to the non-bonded interaction. .

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations are used to explore additivity in the conformational energies of poly-substituted ethanes in terms of conformational energies of ethane and appropriate mono- and 1,2-di-substituted derivatives. Such relations would allow complex calculations for poly-substituted ethanes to be replaced by much simpler ones on a small number of parent molecules. General expressions for the linear combinations are derived from the assumption that interactions between vicinal substituents are pairwise additive and depend only on the vicinal dihedral angle. The additivity scheme is tested for 15 ethanes, di-, tri- or tetrasubstituted by cyano and methyl groups and for a smaller number of fluoroethanes. Additivity applies to within 0.1- 0.3 k J mol -1 in the methylethanes and mostly to within about 0.7- 0.8 kJ mol -1 in cyanoethanes. Large deviations are found among the geminally substituted fluoroethanes. It is suggested that the additivity approximation is most successful in the absence of strongly interacting geminal groups. Predictions are made of conformational energies of ten hexa(cyano- and methyl-) substituted ethanes.
