We present Density Functional calculations for hydrogen-bonded systems with small, medium, and large association energies, in a vacuum and in a dielectric environment. The results are in reasonably good agreement with accurate ab initio results and available experimental data. They confirm that DFT is very promising for modeling liquid state properties. Keywords: hydrogen bond, Density Functional, cooperative effect, liquid state.

Ab initio and density functional calculations are used to analyze the interaction between a molecule of fulminic acid with one, two, three, and four molecules of ammonia along with a 2:2 complex at B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p) and MP2/6-311++G(d, p) computational levels. Cooperative effect (CE) in terms of stabilization energy of clusters is calculated and discussed as well. For the studied clusters, the CE is increased with increasing cluster size. Red shifts of H – C stretching frequency for complexes involving HCNO as H -donor are predicted. Atom in molecules is used to analyze the cooperative effect on topological parameters.

Ab initio and density functional calculations are used to analyze the interaction between a molecule of isofulminic acid with 1–4 molecules of water at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-311++G(d,p) computational levels. Cooperative effect (CE) is increased with increasing size of studied clusters. Red shifts of H – O stretching frequency for complexes involving HONC as H -donor are predicted. Atom in molecules is used to analyse CE on topological parameters. Effect of molecular structure on hydrogen bond (HB) formation could be deduced from comparison of HONC – H 2 O and HCNO – H 2 O clusters, former system have more stable HB clusters.

A modified semiempirical model named RM1BH, which is based on RM1 parameterizations, is proposed to simulate varied biological hydrogen-bonded systems. The RM1BH is formulated by adding Gaussian functions to the core–core repulsion items in original RM1 formula to reproduce the binding energies of hydrogen bonding of experimental and high-level computational results. In the parameterizations of our new model, 35 base-pair dimers, 18 amino acid residue dimers, 14 dimers between a base and an amino acid residue, and 20 other multimers were included. The results performed with RM1BH were compared with experimental values and the benchmark density-functional (B3LYP/6-31G**/BSSE) and Möller–Plesset perturbation (MP2/6-31G**/BSSE) calculations on various biological hydrogen-bonded systems. It was demonstrated that RM1BH model outperforms the PM3 and RM1 models in the calculations of the binding energies of biological hydrogen-bonded systems by very close agreement with the values of both high-level calculations and experiments. These results provide insight into the ideas, methods, and views of semiempirical modifications to investigate the weak interactions of biological systems.

The structural, electronic, optical and elastic properties of zinc-blende compounds (CdX, X = S, Se and Te), were studied using full-potential augmented plane wave plus local orbitals method (FP-LAPW+ lo) within density functional theory, using generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Geometrical optimization of the unit cell (lattice constant, bulk modulus and its pressure derivative) is in good agreement with experimental data. Results for band structures, density of states, and elastic constants (C11, C12 and C44) are presented. We also report our results on optical properties like the complex dielectric functions and the refractive index (n) of these compounds. Our results are in reasonable agreement with the available theoretical and experimental data.

We apply density functional perturbation theory together with experimental studies in order to investigate the structure and physical properties of possible stable and metastable copper(I) compounds with oxygen and hydrogen. Copper(I) hydride, CuH, is found to be a metastable phase which decomposes at ambient conditions and exhibiting a semiconducting gap in the electronic spectrum. The calculated structure and phonon spectra are found to be in good agreement with experimental data. The phonon spectra of a novel metastable phase, copper(I) hydroxide, are also determined.

ABSTRACTOptical properties of birefringent porous-silicon layers are studied within the density functional theory. Starting from a (110)-oriented supercell of 32 silicon atoms, columns of atoms in directions [100] and [010] are removed and the dangling bonds are saturated with hydrogen atoms. The results show an in-plane anisotropy in the dielectric function and in the refractive index (n). The difference Δn defined as n[110] -n[001] is compared with experimental data and a good agreement is observed. Also, the possibility in determining the morphology of pores by using polarized lights is analyzed.
