AbstractThe geometry of the 4′-cyano-(4′-CNPTB) and the 4′-methoxy-(4′-MePTB) phenylthiolbenzoates were obtained by ab initio calculations employing 6–31G basis set at Hartee-Fock level of theory. The results predict an extended form of the molecules and torsional angle between the phenyl rings at 90.85(6)0 and 90.87(3)0, respectively. On the basis of vibrational analysis the frequency assignment was carried out. The calculated frequencies were compared with the experimental IR spectral data in carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide solutions and in solid state.

The experimental IR vibrational assignments of the solid-state of both neutral compounds are presented. Assignments are supported by theoretical quantum chemical calculations and vibrational analysis at the DFT level of theoretical approximation with the 6-311++G** basis set.

Abstract In the solid state, the conformation of N-actetylprolinamide is stabilized by two intermolecular O···H bridges and one intramolecular N···H hydrogen bond. According to quantum chemical ab initio calculations with the 6-31+G* basis set at the one-determinant level, the intramolecular N ···H bond is not strong enough to maintain the solid-state molecular conformation the gas phase. The conformational changes predominantly consist in a rotation of the amide group about its C-C bond to the proline ring, resulting in a c/s-like conformation which is stabilized by a presumably stronger intramolecular O···H bond between one hydrogen atom of the NH2 group and the carbonyl oxygen of the acetyl subsituent bonded to the nitrogen atom of the five-membered ring. These confirmational changes cause a reduction of the molecular dipole moment by about 50%, indicating that the conformation in solution might be strongly solvent dependent. While both the MINDO/3 and the MNDO method in their standard parametrizations fail to reproduce the ab initio results, the lattice effect is reproduced at least qualitatively with the PM3 as well as with the AM1 method.

An experimental and theoretical study is reported of the 600 nm band system of phenoxyl and several methoxy substituted phenoxyls. These radicals, generated in freon, show a diffuse band in this region with a vibrational structure that is incompletely resolved but consistent with the 500 cm−1 "progression" observed earlier for phenoxyl in the vapour and in a rigid matrix. The low intensity of this band is considerably enhanced by ortho-methoxy substitution. To establish its assignment and analyze its structure, semi-empirical and ab initio quantum chemical calculations have been performed. It is found that, on the basis of the ordering of the states and the magnitude of their transition moments, all calculations favour a ππ* (2B2 → 2A2) rather than the earlier proposed nπ* assignment for this band. Of the methods used, only the (ab initio) CASSCF method is found to be able to simulate the observed vibrational structure adequately. This simulation is based on optimized structures and vibrational force fields calculated for the 1B2 and 1A2 states of phenoxyl. It identifies the dominant mode of about 500 cm−1 as ν6a the characteristic deformation mode of phenyl rings, but shows that higher members of the "progression" receive large intensity contributions from higher frequency modes. The chosen assignment and the assignments of higher-energy transitions reported in the literature are compared with those for the better known benzyl radical. It is shown that some of the phenoxyl assignments reported in the literature contain errors.

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.

Optimization with the 3-21G and 3-21G(N*) basis sets finds, in agreement with previous ab initio studies and the experimental result, the anti conformation of prop-2-ynamine to be of lowest energy and, after zero-point vibrational -energy ( Ezpv ) corrections, the gauche form to lie 11 kJ mol-l higher; by vibrational analysis, both are confirmed as equilibrium structures. The synform was not able to be optimized with the 3.21G basis set but, with the 3-21G(N*) basis set, is found to lie 8.6 kJ mol-1 (after Ezpv corrections) above the gauche form, and is shown by vibrational analysis to be a transition structure connecting enantiomeric gauche forms by internal rotation about the N-C bond. The transition structure connecting gauche and anti forms by internal rotation lies 6.3 kJ mol-1 (after Ezpv corrections) above the gauche form, and the transition structure for inversion at the nitrogen atom lies 31.1 kJ mol- l (after Ezpvcorrections) above the anti form.

The Fenton reaction plays a central role in many chemical and biological processes and has various applications as e.g. water remediation. The reaction consists of the iron-catalyzed homolytic cleavage of the oxygen-oxygen bond in the hydrogen peroxide molecule and the reduction of the hydroxyl radical. Here, we study these two elementary steps with high-level ab-initio calculations at the complete basis set limit and address the performance of different DFT methods following a specific classification based on the Jacob´s ladder in combination with various Pople's basis sets. Ab-initio calculations at the complete basis set limit are in agreement to experimental reference data and identified a significant contribution of the electron correlation energy to the bond dissociation energy (BDE) of the oxygen-oxygen bond in hydrogen peroxide and the electron affinity (EA) of the hydroxyl radical. The studied DFT methods were able to reproduce the ab-initio reference values, although no functional was particularly better for both reactions. The inclusion of HF exchange in the DFT functionals lead in most cases to larger deviations, which might be related to the poor description of the two reactions by the HF method. Considering the computational cost, DFT methods provide better BDE and EA values than HF and post--HF methods with an almost MP2 or CCSD level of accuracy. However, no systematic general prediction of the error based on the employed functional could be established and no systematic improvement with increasing the size in the Pople's basis set was found, although for BDE values certain systematic basis set dependence was observed. Moreover, the quality of the hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical and hydroxyl anion structures obtained from these functionals was compared to experimental reference data. In general, bond lengths were well reproduced and the error in the angles were between one and two degrees with some systematic trend with the basis sets. From our results we conclude that DFT methods present a computationally less expensive alternative to describe the two elementary steps of the Fenton reaction. However, choice of approximated functionals and basis sets must be carefully done and the provided benchmark allows a systematic validation of the electronic structure method to be employed

ABSTRACT Molecular ions play an important role in the astrochemistry of interstellar and circumstellar media. C3H+ has been identified in the interstellar medium recently. A new potential energy surface of the C3H+–He van der Waals complex is computed using the ab initio explicitly correlated coupled cluster with the single, double and perturbative triple excitation [CCSD(T)-F12] method and the augmented correlation consistent polarized valence triple zeta (aug-cc-pVTZ) basis set. The potential presents a well of 174.6 cm−1 in linear geometry towards the H end. Calculations of pure rotational excitation cross-sections of C3H+ by He are carried out using the exact quantum mechanical close-coupling approach. Cross-sections for transitions among the rotational levels of C3H+ are computed for energies up to 600 cm−1. The cross-sections are used to obtain the collisional rate coefficients for temperatures T ≤ 100 K. Along with laboratory experiments, the results obtained in this work may be very useful for astrophysical applications to understand hydrocarbon chemistry.
