Abstract: | Ab initio calculations have been performed on methane sulfonamide anion. Geometries have been optimized using Hartree-Fock
basis sets up to 6-31+G*, and single-point calculations employing those Hartree-Fock geometries have been performed at levels
up to MP2/6-311++G**. In addition, geometry optimizations for the 0°, 90°, 150°, and 180° conformers have been carried out
at the MP2/6-31G*, MP2/6-31+G*, and MP2/6-311++G** levels. Vibrational frequencies have been calculated using the HF/4-31G*,
MP2/6-31G*, and MP2/6-31+G* geometries. All calculations at or above the 4-31G* level agree that H—N—S—C ˜90° is the global
minimum. The H—N—S—C = 180° conformer is clearly higher in energy although the relative energy of this conformer varies from
0.36 to 1.03 kcal/mol for the post-HF calculations depending on basis set. The H—N—S—C = 180° conformer appears to be a very
shallow local minimum. However, the potential energy surface is quite flat in this region, and the highest-level calculations,
including MP2 optimizations and vibrational frequency analysis, are ambiguous on this point. The conformer with an H—N—S—C
torsion of 0° is a transition state with a relative energy ˜8 kcal/mol.
