The structure and stability of pyrazine dimer in different orientations have been investigated using second- and fourth-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2, MP4) and coupled-cluster singles and doubles with non-iterative perturbative triples method [CCSD(T)] with various basis sets (6-31G*, 6-311G**, 6-311++G**, cc-pVDZ, aug-cc-pVDZ, cc-pVTZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ). With the largest basis set (aug-cc-pVTZ) at the MP2 level of theory, the calculated binding energies (basis set superposition error corrected) for the sandwich, N–N axial-displaced, lateral-displaced, cross-displaced, T-shaped ( T N-ring and T H-ring ), and wedge-shaped ( W N–C and W C–C ) geometries are found to be 3.01, 4.18, 4.63, 5.92, 4.54, 2.78, 2.89, and 3.23 kcal/mol, respectively. Although MP2 calculations predict the cross-displaced geometry to be the most stable one, MP4 and CCSD(T) calculations show the most stable geometry to be T-shaped ( T N-ring ), with a center-of-mass separation of 4.2 Å. Dispersion interaction seems to be the major source of attraction in all the geometries considered, while the nature of electrostatic interaction depends on the mutual orientation of the two rings.

We report calculations of the interaction dipole moment and polarizability for the HeNe heterodiatom. Our results are extracted from finite-field Møller-Plesset perturbation theory and coupled cluster calculations with a large, flexible Gaussian-type basis set. At post-Hartree-Fock level, the interaction dipole moment is method-sensitive for relatively short internuclear separations R/a0 while the interaction polarizability becomes rapidly method-insensitive for R/a0 > 2.5.

The relative stability of Molybdate-Phosphonic Acid (MPA) Complex in gas phase has been carried out using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. The methods used for calculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91, with three series of basis sets: D95**, 6-31+G (d,p) and 6-31++G (d,p) for hydrogen and oxygen atoms; LANL2DZ for Mo and Phosphorus. Predicted geometry and relative stability are discussed. Equilibrium geometry in the ground electronic state energy has been calculated for 1:1 complex. The best result for energetic and geometrical ground state was obtained with Becke3LYP calculations. The Basis Set Superposition Error (BSSE) begins to converge for all methods/basis sets. For this complex, most levels of theory seem to give reasonable estimates of the known binding energies, but here, too, the BSSE overwhelms the reliability of the binding energies for these basis sets.

The hydrogen-bonded interactions in the simple (HNZ)2 dimers, with Z = O and S, were investigated using quantum chemical calculations with the second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation (MP2), coupled-cluster with single, double (CCSD), and triple excitations (CCSD(T)) methods in conjunction with the 6-311++G(2d,2p), aug-cc-pVDZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. Six-membered cyclic structures were found to be stable complexes for the dimers (HNO)2, (HNS)2, and (HNO–HNS). The pair (HNS)2 has the largest complexation energy (–11 kJ/mol), and (HNO)2 the smallest one (–9 kJ/mol). A bond length contraction and a frequency blue shift of the N–H bond simultaneously occur upon hydrogen bond formation of the N–H···S type, which has rarely been observed before. The stronger the intramolecular hyperconjugation and the lower the polarization of the X–H bond involved as proton donor in the hydrogen bond, the more predominant is the formation of a blue-shifting hydrogen bond.

Structure II clathrate hydrates of pure hydrogen and binary hydrates of are studied using ab initio calculations to determine the stable occupancies of small cavities. Ab initio calculations are carried out for a double cavity consisting of one dodecahedron (small cavity) and one hexakaidecahedron (large cavity). These two cavities are attached to each other as in sII hydrates to form a double cavity. One or two molecules are placed in the small cavity and one THF (or 4 molecules) molecule is placed in the large cavity. We have determined the binding energies of the double cavities at the MP2 level using various basis sets (3-21G, 3-21G(2p), 3-21 G(2p), 6-31G, 6-31G(2p), and 6-31 G(2p)). Different basis sets yield different stable occupancies of the small cavity. The results from the highest basis set (6-31 G(2p) with zero point energy corrections) indicate that the single occupancy is slightly more favorable than the double occupancy in both the cases of pure hydrates and THF + double hydrates.

In this work, the interaction of C 20 with N 2 X 2 ( X = H , F , Cl , Br , Me ) molecules has been explored using the B3LYP, M062x methods and 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311+G(d,p) basis sets. The interaction energies (IEs) obtained with standard method were corrected by basis set superposition error (BSSE) during the geometry optimization for all molecules at the same levels of theory. It was found C 20… N 2 H 2 interaction is stronger than the interaction of other N 2 X 2 ( X = F , Cl , Br , Me ) with C 20. Highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO, respectively) levels are illustrated by density of states spectra (DOS). The nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICSs) confirm that C 20… N 2 X 2 molecules exhibit aromatic characteristics. Geometries obtained from DFT calculations were used to perform NBO analysis. Also, 14 N NQR parameters of the C 20… N 2 X 2 molecules are predicted.
