Ab initio molecular orbital and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, applied to ( Z,Z,Z)-cyclonona-1,3,6-triene (1) have revealed that the calculated energy barrier for ring inversion of the twist-boat ( C1 symmetry) conformation of 1 as a most stable form is 8.41 kcal mol−1, as calculated by the MP2/6-31G*//HF/6-31G* method

Ab initio and density functional theory methods (HF/3-21G*//HF/3-21G*, MP2/3-21G*//HF/3-21G*, B3LYP/3-21G*//HF/3-21G*, B3LYP/LANL2DZ*//HF/LANL2DZ*, MP2/LANL2DZ*//HF/LANL2DZ* and HF/LANL2DZ*//HF/LANL2DZ*) used to investigate the conformational properties of cyclohexane, 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane, 1,1-di-tert-butylcyclohexane, 1,1-bis(trimethylsilanyl)cyclohexane, 1,1-bis(trimethylgermanyl)cyclohexane and 1,1-bis(trimethylstannyl)cyclohex ane showed that the energy difference between the chair and twist-boat conformations and also the ring flipping energy barrier decreases from cyclohexane, 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane to 1,1-di-tert-butylcyclohexane, and increases from 1,1-bis(trimethylsilanyl)cyclohexane, 1,1-bis(trimethylgermanyl)cyclohexane to 1,1-bis(trimethylstannyl)cyclohexane.

The unsymmetrical boat-chair BC conformation of ( Z,Z)-cyclonona-1,3-diene is calculated to be 5 kJ mol−1 more stable than the axial-symmetrical twist-boat-chair TBC form; while the calculated energy barrier for limited pseudorotation of BC and TBC is only 10.2kJ mol−1, ring inversion of BC via plane-symmetrical boat geometry requires 24.4 kJ mol−1.

Ab initio molecular orbital and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, used to calculate the structure optimisation and configurational features of cyclodeca-1,2,4,6,7,9-hexaene (1) and cyclodeca-1,2,4,6,8,9-hexaene (2), showed that the important structures in compound 1 are: RZRZ ( D2 symmetry), RZSZ ( C2h symmetry) and for compound 2 are: RSZZ ( C1 symmetry), RRZZ ( C2 symmetry).

The insertion of CO2 into epoxides and aziridines has been studied using density functional theory (B3LYP) and ab initio (MP2) methods, and the effect of substitution for the two reactions are further explored. It is found that the reactivity of epoxides and aziridines are similar, and insertion of CO2 proceeds through a concerted mechanism. The substitutions of methyl and phenyl does not change the reaction mechanism, but the transition state for the substitution on the attacking position becomes loose with a lower free energy barrier. The substitutions of methyl and phenyl decrease the free energy barrier, with phenyl substitution having a greater affect. The results also show that the free energy barriers for the insertions of CO2 into aziridines are ~10kcalmol−1 lower than the corresponding reactions of CO2 with epoxides.

In this paper, we theoretically studied the geometries, stabilities, electronic and thermodynamic properties of bridged bithiophene S-oxide (BTO-X) derivates (with X = BH2, SiH2, S, S=O, and O) by using semi-empirical methods, ab-initio, and Density functional theory. The geometries and thermodynamic parameters calculated by PM3 were in good agreement with that of B3LYP/6-31G(d). The bandgap calculated by B3LYP/6-31G(d) ranged from 3.94eV (BTO-O)-3.16eV (BTO-BH2). The absorption λmax calculated suing B3LYP/6-31G(d) shifted to longer wavelength with X=BH2, SiH2, and S=O due to enhancement of π-conjugated system whereas, BTO-S and BTO-O shifted to shorter wavelengths as compared to dimmer thiophene S-oxide (2TO).

We present the results of ab initio calculations of K-doped ZnO in the wurtzite structure using a supercell of 32 atoms and density functional theory. A complete analysis of its electronic, optical and magnetic properties is provided. The local spin density approximation (LSDA) has been used to analyze the density of states and to understand the K influence at different concentration values. The material is revealed to become a [Formula: see text]-type doped semiconductor. The optical constant or refractive index, the dielectric function, and the absorption coefficient were determined and show a good agreement with available experimental data. Potassium doping leads to an absorption peak at about 380 nm. That peak might improve the absorption characteristics of ZnO for solar cell or optical applications.

Optical and dielectric properties, and energetic stability orders of black phase of perovskites and yellow phase of iodoplumbates have been studied using density functional theory; where the optical dielectric constant varies with the polymorphic phase and nature of cation.
