ABSTRACTWe have performed ab initio calculations and determined the bond-energies and vibrational frequencies of Si-H groups that are: i) attached to Si-atoms as their immediate, and also more distant neighbors; and ii) attached to three O-atoms as their immediate neighbors, but are connected to an all Si-atom matrix. These arrangements simulate bonding geometries on Si surfaces, and the calculated frequency for i) is in good agreement with that of an Si-H group on an Si surface. To compare these results with a-Si:H alloys it is necessary to take into account an additional factor: the effective dielectric constant of the host. We show how to do this, demonstrating the way results of the ab initio calculations should then be compared with experimental data.

Ab initio computational studies have been carried out for three molecules that are commonly classed as antiaromatic: cyclobutadiene (1), 1,3-diazacyclobutadiene (7), and 1,4-dihydropyrazine (6). Their dinitro and diamino derivatives were also investigated. Stabilizing or destabilizing energetic effects were quantified by means of the isodesmic reaction procedure at the MP2/6-31G*//HF/3-21G level, and calculated molecular electrostatic potentials (HF/STO-5G//HF/3-21G) were used as a probe of electron delocalization. Our results do not show extensive delocalization in the π systems of any one of the three parent molecules. The destabilization found for 1 and 7 is attributed primarily to strain and to repulsion between the localized π electrons in the C=C and C=N bonds, respectively. However, 6 is significantly stabilized, presumably due to limited delocalization of the nitrogen lone pairs. NH2 groups are highly stabilizing, apparently because of lone pair delocalization. NO2 is neither uniformly stabilizing nor destabilizing.
