Beryllium complexes of the types [BeCl2L2] (L = (Me2N)3P(O) (1), (Me2N)2P(O)F (2), Me2NP(O)F2 (3) and P(O)F3 (4)) have been theoretically studied by means of DFT geometry optimization and NMR chemical shift calculations (B3LYP/6-31G(d)). A good correlation was found between calculated and experimental data for complex 2. On going from complex 1 to 4, the Be-L bond underwent considerable lengthening, while that of Be-Cl was shortened (Be-O: 1.646 in 1 vs. 1.740 A° in 4; Be-Cl: 2.043 in 1 vs. 1.953 A° in 4). In the same way, the Be-O-P bond angle was found to decrease from 135° for 1 to 124° for 4. The trends are in good agreement with the calculated metal-ligand binding energies of complexes 1-4. Interestingly, the structural changes are accompanied by increased 9Be chemical shifts towards higher frequencies as the Me2N groups in the ligand are substituted by fluorine atoms. The results were compared to corresponding complexes with tin (IV) chloride, [SnCl4L2]. The theoretical data showed that the use of the 6-31G* basis set could efficiently predict the 9Be NMR chemical shifts in the complexes [BeCl2L2].

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.

The core electron binding energies of eighteen compounds containing iodine in different oxidation states ranging from (-I) to (VII) have been measured. The observed chemical shifts differ from the literature data. The anticipated existence of hexavalent iodine in certain compounds has not been demonstrated. The relative subshell photoemission intensities of iodine have been determined. Empirically derived atomic sensitivity factors and theoretical photoionization cross-sections have been used to calculate the surface stoichiometry. The concentration ratios obtained via the two methods are compared. In agreement with generally accepted view the results of this comparison imply that, for quantitative surface analysis, empirical values should be used rather than theoretical data.

Theoretical calculations at the ab initio level have been made of the twofold rotational barriers of some monosubstituted benzenes, and the effects both of basis set and of geometry optimization have been examined. Values at the STO-3G//STO-3G level are in good agreement with experiment. The use of split-valence sets, even with geometry optimization, is much less satisfactory, and this may be related to an overestimation of π-electron transfer between the substituent and the benzene ring.

A new synthesis of the fused macropolyhedral boron cluster B20H16 is described and its molecular structure in solution discussed, based on multi-nuclear NMR spectra, including COSY measurements, in relation to its previously elucidated solid-state structure. To verify the conclusions from the NMR study, experimentally determined chemical shifts are compared with calculated values at the GIAO-B3LYP level with a TZP basis set by Huzinaga. There is a very good agreement between the experimental and computed δ(11B) values, suggesting that the MP2/6-31G* internal coordinates are a reasonable representation of the molecular geometry of this twenty-vertex cluster in solution that is essentially the same as its solid-state structure. A computational analysis of the FMO orbitals of B20H16, in particular of the LUMO, reveals that the four naked boron atoms, common for two shared icosahedral subclusters, are the reactive sites of this D2d-symmetrical molecule.

The multireference approach (CASSCF/CASPT2) combined with the contracted with atomic natural orbital (ANO-RCC-VTZP) basis set has been used to investigate systematically, the low-lying electronic states of ( CH 3)2 CHS in Cs symmetry. The result of geometry optimization using CASSCF/ANO-RCC-VTZP shows that the theoretically determined geometric parameters and harmonic vibrational frequencies for the ground state X2A′ of ( CH 3)2 CHS are in good agreement with previous studies. In addition, we also explored several cationic states adiabatically and found that the 11A′ state of ( CH 3)2 CHS + is unstable and converts to ( CH 3)2 CSH +. The vertical and adiabatic ionization energies were obtained to compare with photoelectron spectroscopic data.

The structure and NMR chemical shifts of endo-cone [CS2(p-methylcalix[4]arene)] complex have been computationally investigated using BIO+ force fields, semi-empirical (PM3) and ab initio (RHF/6-311G++(d,p)) calculations. The first comparison of ab initio NMR chemical shift calculations for a calix[4]arene inclusion complex with solid-state 13C NMR chemical shifts based on the 1:1 complex of p-methylcalix[4]arenes with carbon disulfide in endo-cone complexation mode has been reported. The results showed that ab initio (RHF/6-311G++(d,p)) NMR calculations of the host-guest [CS2(p-methylcalix[4]arene)] complex are in good agreement with experimental solid-state NMR data.    Keywords: computational investigation, structure, NMR chemical shifts, [CS2(p-methylcalix[4]arene)].
