IThe 35Cl nuclear quadrupole resonances (77 K) and ab initio calculations of trichloromethyldichlorophosphine () show that it exists in the chess conformation form. The barrier to internal rotation about the P-C bond in I at the RHF/6-31++ G(d,p) level equals to 38.1 kJ mol-1. In chloromethyldichlorophosphine (II) the extension of the basis set up to the RHF/6-311++G(df, pd) level does not improve the description of the most preferable gauche-conformation; only if electron correlation (at the MP2 level) is taken into account the results are in a good agreement with experimental data.

The hydrogen maleate ion was studied by ab initio methods with complete optimization at the 3-21G, 6-31G, 6-31G**, and 6-31+G(2d,1p) levels. To study the influence of electron correlation, MP2 calculations have been done for the 6-31G** geometry. All calculations at the HF level predicted an asymmetric hydrogen bond with a double minimum potential governing transfer between the two equivalent structures. Moreover, both asymmetry and proton transfer barrier increase systematically with the power of the basis set used, with calculated barrier heights of 0.12 (3-21G), 1.59 (6-31G), 1.64 (6-31G**), and 2.00 kcal/mol (6-31+G). Only the introduction of the electron correlation at the MP2 level seems to predict a single minimum potential.
