The optimized molecular structures, vibrational frequencies and corresponding vibrational assignments of the two planar O-cis and O-trans rotomers of 2,4-, 2,5- and 2,6-difluorobenzaldehyde have been calculated using ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (B3LYP) methods with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set level. The calculations were adapted to the CS symmetries of all the molecules. The O-trans rotomers with lower energy of all the compounds have been found as preferential rotomers in the ground state. The mean vibrational deviations between the vibrational frequency values of the two conformers of all the compounds have been shown to increase while the relative energies increase, and so it has been concluded that the higher the relative energy between the two conformers the bigger is the mean vibrational deviation.

AbstractThe molecular structures, vibrational frequencies, and corresponding vibrational assignments of 2-amino-3-, 4-, and 5-nitropyridine have been calculated by using ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (B3LYP) methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set level. The calculated vibrational frequencies and optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) were found to be in well agreement with the experimental data. The comparison of the observed and the calculated results showed that the scaled B3LYP method is superior to the scaled HF method for both the vibrational frequencies and the geometric parameters. For well fitting the calculated and the experimental frequencies we used scale factors obtained from the ratio of the frequency values of the strongest peaks in the calculated and the experimental spectra. These obtained scales seem to cause the better agreement of the gained vibrations to the experimental data.

AbstractWe present and discuss main results of the calculations for the surface relaxation and rumpling of SrTiO3 surfaces with TiO2 and SrO terminations using a wide variety of methods of modern computational physics and chemistry, including the shell model (SM) and ab initio methods based on Hartree-Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT). The HF and DFT formalisms with different exchange-correlation functionals are implemented into Crystal-98 computer code using a Gaussian-type basis set. We demonstrate that a hybrid B3PW formalism gives the best results for the bulk SrTiO3 properties. Results are compared with previous ab initio plane-wave LDA calculations and LEED experiments. Our calculations demonstrate an increase of the covalency effects between Ti and O atoms near the surface.

The ethyl 6-amino-5-cyano-2-methyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-4H-pyran-3-carboxylate (ACNPPC) was synthesized using an environmentally friendly method and looked into in terms ofstructural, UV-visible, vibrational, and computational analysis. In the gaseous phase, calculations of the density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level were performed. Using Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) with the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) basis set method, the HOMO and LUMO energies are calculated. For assessing electrophilic and nucleophilic reactive sites, the molecular electrostatic surface potential (MESP) and contour plot were plotted over the optimized structure. Using computed and experimental vibrational spectra, vibrational assignments were elucidated. To illustrate the charge density in the title compound, Mulliken atomic charges are disclosed. In addition, using vibrational analysis, some thermochemical functions have also been derived. Theoretical simulations have shown the best relationship with experimental results obtained with the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory at the DFT and TD-DFT methods.
