MINDO-Forces calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on nitromethane, aci-nitromethane and X-substituted nitromethane and aci-nitromethane (X = F, OH, NH2, CH3, CN, CF3, NO2, CHO). It is found that nitromethane is more stable than aci-nitromethane by 9.337 kcal/mol. This agrees with theoretical calculations. Thermodynamically, substituted aci-nitro tautomers are more stable than the corresponding nitromethane, except in case of the substituent F. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, electron densities, Gibbs free energies and isodesmic reactions are reported.

MINDO-Forces calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on α- substituted acetaldehydes XCH2CH=O and their enols (X = H, F, OH, CN, NH2, NO2, CH3, CF3, OCH3). All substituents were found to decrease the stability of the acetaldehyde and mostly in the case of electron withdrawing capacity (e. g NO2 and CF3). This agrees with theoretical calculations, except in the case of F. The substituent effects on the stabilities in this study are compared with results obtained from our previous theoretical calculations on acetyl derivatives. Geometrical parameters, electron densities, and Gibbs free energies are reported.

MINDO-Forces calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on acetaldehyde, vinyl alcohol and acetyl derivatives CH3COX(X=H, F, OH, CN, NH2, NO2 , CH3 , CF3,OCH3). It was found that acetaldehyde is more stable than vinyl alcohol by 10.451 kcal/mol. Thermodynamically, keto tautomers are more stable than their enol counterparts. This agrees with theoretical calculations. The electron releasing substituents tend to stabilize keto tautomers, while the electron withdrawing substituents tend to destabilize the keto tautomers, relative to the parent. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, electron densities, Gibbs free energies and orbital energies (HOMO-LUMO) are reported.

MINDO-Forces SCF-molecular orbital calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on x-substituted phenylallyl cations, where x is H, OCH3, NH2, NO2, CN, F and CH3, in ortho, meta, or para positions. Optimized geometrical parameters, electron densities, heats of formation and stabilization energies were obtained. The substitutent effect on the geometrical parameters and the electron density are discussed by correlation analysis.

MINDO-Forces calculations have been performed with complete optimization of the geometries on stepwise fluorinated cyclopropanones and their enols. Increase in the number of fluorine atoms causes destabilization of cyclopropanone. Perfluorinated enol was found to be present in substantial concentration, as was mentioned in previous work. This is supported by calculations of Gibbs free energies and isodesmic reactions. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, electron densities, dipole moments and orbital energies (HOMO-LUMO) are reported.

MINDO-Forces calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on cyclopentanone and its enol counter part, perfluorination of cyclop entanone and its enol counterpart and X-cyclopentanones and their X-enols, where X is NO2, CF3, CN, OH, NH2 and O−. It was found that ketone is more stable than its enol counterpart. Perfluorination destabilizes ketone on the expense of enol. These results agree with the experimental results and density functional theory calculations. All substituents are destabilizing except O− in the case of cyclopentanone. It was found that NO2 and CF3 behave as strong electron withdrawing groups, CN and NC show amphielectronic behavior, and the substituents OH,NH2 and O− behave as electron releasing groups with O− being strongest. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, entropies, and Gibbs free energies are reported

MINDO-Forces calculations have been performed with complete optimization of the geometry on cyclobutanone and its enol counterpart, perfluorination of cyclobutanones and enol counterparts, and X-cycolobutanones and their X-enols, where X is NO2, CF3, CN, OH, NH2 and F. It was found that ketone is more stable than its enol counterpart. Perfluorination destabilizes ketone on the expense of enol. These results agree with experimental and theoretical calculations. Electron releasing substituents (NH2, OH, F) stabilize cyclobutanone, while electron withdrawing substituents (CF3, NO2) destabilize it. CN substituents have almost no effect on the stabilization of this keto-enol system. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, electron densities and Gibbs free energy are reported

Abstract Optimized geometrical parameters, electron densities, heats of formation and stabilization energies have been obtained on X-substituted phenylallyl alcohols, where X is H, OCH3, NH2, CN, F and CH3 at ortho, meta, and para positions, using MINDO-Forces SCF-molecular orbital calculations. The substituent effects on the geometrical parameters and the electron density are discussed.

AbstractMINDO-forces calculations have been done after complete optimization of geometry on X-monosubstituted fulvenes, where X is OH, NH2 , CH3, NO2, CN, F, dimethyl and cyclopropyl. It was found that all the substituents are stabilizing. The electron releasing substituents increase the dipole moment at the exocyclic double bond while the electron withdrawing ones increase the dipole moment at the endocyclic diene. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, orbital energies and electron densities are reported.

MINDO-Forces calculations have been performed, after complete optimization of geometry, on fulvene molecule, fulvene and X-fulvene radical cations, where X is OH, NH2, CH3, NO2, CN and F. A twisted structure with angle 5° was found for fulvene radical cation. The substituents OH, NH2, CH3, CN and F are stabilizing. NO2 is slightly stabilizing. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, dipole moments and electron densities are reported.

The paper deals with the solvation of Li+, Be2+, Na+, Mg2+, and Al3+ ions in dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, and water. The ab initio quantum chemical method was used to calculate the solvation energies, molecular structures, and charge distributions for the complexes water···ion, acetonitrile···ion, dimethyl sulphoxide···ion, and dimethylformamide···ion. The interaction energies were corrected for the superposition error. Complete geometry optimization was performed for the complex water···ion. Some generalizations are made on the basis of the results obtained.
