Test of variational transition state theory with multidimensional tunneling contributions against experimental kinetic isotope effects for the CHnD4−n + OH→P (n=0, 4) reactions

 Variational transition state theory including tunneling corrections (as implemented in Polyrate 8.7) and using multilevel energy calculations at the MCCM-CCSD(T)-1sc level for the CH₄ + OH reaction and at the MCCM-CCSD(T)-2m level for the CD₄ + OH process, reproduces very well the experimental rate constants. However, no single methodology was found that reproduces equally well the experimental rate constants for both title reactions.

Random walk properties of lattices and correlation factors for diffusion via the vacancy mechanism in crystals

Random walk properties and correlation factors for diffusion via the vacancy mechanism are calculated and compared for various three-dimensional lattices. By applying the theory of random walks on an imperfect lattice, the correlation factor for impurity diffusion is calculated rigorously for the five jump frequency model in the fee lattice.Presented at the Symposium on Random Walks, Gaithersburg, MD, June 1982.

Size and pH effect on electrical and conformational behavior of poly(acrylic acid): Simulation and experiment

Monte Carlo simulations, experimental titrations and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy experiments were used to investigate the conformational and electrical properties of polyacrylic acids (PAA). On the one hand, titration curves were calculated to get an insight into the role of pH on the degree of ionization and conformation of PAA chains. On the other hand, experimental potentiometric titrations of PAA were also achieved for different PAA molecular weights and compared to the calculated titration curves obtained by Monte Carlo coarse grained simulations. It was found that for a large range at intermediate PAA ionizations, a good correlation is obtained between experimental and simulations data thanks to the prominence of electrostatic interactions in this domain. The effect of ionic concentration and PAA molecular weight on the titration curves was also investigated. In order to get a better understanding of PAA conformational behavior, we also investigated PAA diffusion properties in aqueous solutions as a function of pH and ionic strength by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), thanks to its high sensitivity to measure diffusion coefficients of tracer solutes. Good qualitative agreements were observed between experimental diffusivities and polymer properties calculated from MC simulations. It was shown that the high molecular weight PAA chains display more significant changes in diffusivity in agreement with the ionization degrees and conformational changes observed in the simulations.

含芯电子相关能修正的G2理论——G2(ful)

A general method in considering the core electronic correlation energies has been proposed and introduced into the standard Gaussian-2 (G2)[7] theory by small post-Hartree-Fock calculations. In this paper an additional MP2(FC)/6-31G(d) calculation over the G2 procedures is employed and examined in modification in modification to the flaw of Frozen-Core (FC) approximation of G2 vai eq.:
ΔE(full)= E[MP2(full)/6-31G(d)]-E[MP2(FC)/6-31G(d)]
where the MP2(full)/6-31G(d) energy has been obtained in the molecular geometry optimizations. This energy, ΔE(full), is directly added into the total G2 energy of a molecule in facilitating the effect of core electronic correlations for each molecule in chemical reactions. It has been shown that the over-all average absolute deviation for the 125 reaction energies of the G2 test set (test set 1) is slightly reduced from 5.09 to 5.01 kJ, mol(-1) while for the 55 D0 values, which have been used for the derivation of the A coefficient of the empirical High-Level...更多-Correction (HLC), it is also reduced from 4.99 [for both G2 and G2(COMPLETE)[8]]to 4.77 kJ• mol(-1). In addition, larger errors (greater than ±8.4 kJ•mol(-1) for the D0 energies are improved, especially for the largest error of the D0 of SO2 This error is reduced from 21.3 to 15.4 kJ. mol(-1), in which the experimental geometry would further reduce it by 7.1kJ.mol(-1)[8]. Another improvement is the absolute value of the A coefficient in HLC being reduced from 4.81 for G2 to 4.34 milli-hartrees which is believed to be useful in isolating the relationship between the HLC and the FC approximation. Modifications to the original G2 from this work is denoted as G2(fu 1) and thus the G2 (fu 1) total energy for a molecule is
E[G2(fu 1)]= E[G2]+Δ E(full)h
with a new ΔE[HLC] =-0.19α- 4.34nβ milli-hartree.     

Orbital correlation effects: The independent pair-potential approximation with application to the ground state and first ionized state of boron hydride

A new method is proposed for calculating correlation effects in atomic and molecular systems. The basis of the method is the formulation of a set of partial configuration expansions which yield directly variational orbital correlation corrections which are appropriately summed in order to obtain an estimate of the total correlation energy. This method is applied to the ground state of boron hydride and its cation at the equilibrium distance of BH. The results of the method are compared in detail with independent electron pair results and second order CI results. It is further shown that multiple substitutions are approximately accounted for in this method and the extent to which they are included is compared with other approximations. Finally, three methods of increasing accuracy, aimed at reducing the necessary computational effort, are given for determining the vertical ionization potential. The most economical method yields an IP of 9.70 eV or 0.03 eV less than the experimental IP. Completion of the basis is estimated to improve this value to 9.77 eV.     

Ab initio study of Rg2I− (Rg = Ar,Kr, Xe)

The equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, and dissociation energies of rare gas iodine clusters Rg₂I^?(Rg = Ar, Kr, Xe) were calculated at the Hartree–Fock (HF), second‐order Møller–Plesset (MP2), the coupled cluster method with single and double excitation and a noniterative correction for triple excitations method [CCSD(T)] levels. The title species have bent C_2v structure of about 60° angle. The electron correlation effects and relativistic effects on the geometry and stability were investigated at CCSD(T) level. Both effects stabilize title species. The calculated electron affinities are in good agreement with the experimental results available. The effect of high angular momentum functions (g and h) was studied. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006
