Transferable semiempirical quadratic force fields: The case of polythiophene and shorter oligomers

The vibrational spectra of oligomers of thiophene are treated theoretically with the main purpose of deriving information for the interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of the polymer and isotopic derivatives. We report the results of a series of semiempirical MNDO calculations on the structure and vibrational properties of oligothiophenes, and we compare the calculated MNDO Pulay scaled force field of the monomer with an empirical harmonic force field that we have obtained by least squares refinement on nine isotopic derivatives. The scaling factors obtained were transferred from thiophene for the computation of the vibrational spectrum and the phonon dispersion curves of the polymer. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Automatic generation of force fields and property surfaces for use in variational vibrational calculations of anharmonic vibrational energies and zero-point vibrational averaged properties

An automatic and general procedure for the calculation of geometrical derivatives of the energy and general property surfaces for molecular systems is developed and implemented. General expressions for an n-mode representation are derived, where the n-mode representation includes only the couplings between n or less degrees of freedom. The general expressions are specialized to derivative force fields and property surfaces, and a scheme for calculation of the numerical derivatives is implemented. The implementation is interfaced to electronic structure programs and may be used for both ground and excited electronic states. The implementation is done in the context of a vibrational structure program and can be used in combination with vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF), vibrational configuration interaction (VCI), vibrational Moller-Plesset, and vibrational coupled cluster calculations of anharmonic wave functions and calculation of vibrational averaged properties at the VSCF and VCI levels. Sample calculations are presented for fundamental vibrational energies and vibrationally averaged dipole moments and frequency dependent polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities of water and formaldehyde.     

Détermination d'un champ de forces de valence pour le thiazole et ses dérivés deutériés: Étude du méthyl-2 et chloro-2 thiazole

The vibrational frequencies of thiazole and its deuterated derivatives have been used in valence force field calculations. The transferability of the force field is verified by the study of 2-chloro- and 2-methyl-thiazole. Previous assignments are discussed.     

Ab Initio Calculations on Nitramide and Its Methyl Derivatives( Ⅱ )——The Harmonic Force Fields and Vibrational Spectra of Nitramide and Its Isotopic Derivatives

The harmonic force field and the vibrational spectrum of nitramide were calculated by using the ab initio gradient program TEXAS at the Hartree-Fock level with a 4-21G basis set. The directly computed theoretical harmonic force field was scaled by using empirical scale factors which are transferred from other molecules and provided an a priori prediction of fundamental frequencies and intensities. The average deviations between predicted vibrational frequencies of nitramide and experimental IR spectrum in an argon matrix are 63 cm-1 for symmetric vibrations and 41 cm-1 for antisymmetric modes. A new set of scale factors was optimized in this paper. These scale factors reduced the average deviations to 2. 3 cm-1 for symmetric modes and 0. 8 cm-1 for antisymmetric ones. The vibrational spectra of three isotopic derivatives of nitramide were predicted by using the force field resulted from the optimized set of scale factors, which are in good agreement with their experimental data in an argon matrix.     

The important role of lone-pairs in force field (MM4) calculations on hydrogen bonding in alcohols

An expanded treatment of hydrogen bonding has been developed for MM4 force field calculations, which is an extension from the traditional van der Waals-electrostatic model. It adds explicit hydrogen-bond angularity by the inclusion of lone-pair directionality. The vectors that account for this directionality are placed along the hydrogen acceptor and its chemically intuitive electron pairs. No physical lone-pairs are used in the calculations. Instead, an H-bond angularity function, and a lone-pair directionality function, are incorporated into the hydrogen-bond term. The inclusion of the lone-pair directionality results in improved accuracy in hydrogen-bonded geometries and interaction energies. In this work is described hydrogen bonding in alcohols, and also in water and hydrogen fluoride dimer. The extension to other compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, amides, and so on is straightforward and will be discussed in future work. The conformational energies of ethylene glycol are discussed.     

The computed force constants and vibrational spectra of toluene

The complete harmonic force field and dipole moment derivatives have been computed for toluene at the Hartree-Fock level using a 4-21G basis set. The six scale factors optimized for benzene were used to scale the computed harmonic force constants of toluene. The vibrational frequencies of toluene computed from this scaled quantum mechanical force field are quite good. After a correction was made to two previously proposed spectral assignments, the mean deviation from the experimental frequencies is only 7.8 cm^?1 except for the frequencies related to the methyl group. Five more scale factors for the vibrational modes of the methyl group were reoptimized. The final comparison showed an overall mean deviation of 7.5 cm^?1 between the theoretical spectrum and the experimental spectrum. Computed intensities are qualitatively in agreement with experiments. They are highly useful in the investigation of questionable assignments.     

Ab initio MO calculation of force constants and dipole derivatives for the formamide dimer. An estimation of hydrogen-bond force constants

Ab initio SCF MO calculations (with the 4-31G basis set) have been carried out to determine the equilibrium geometry, vibrational frequencies, dipole-moment derivatives, and force constants for intermolecular modes of the formamide dimer and its d₄ and d₆ derivatives. The results are correlated with monomer calculations and experimental data for crystalline formamide.     

Theoretical prediction of vibrational spectra: the harmonic force field and the vibrational spectrum of 4-methylpyridine

The geometry, complete harmonic force field and dipole moment derivatives have been computed for 4-methylpyridine at the Hartree-Fock level using a 4-21 basis set of Gaussian orbitals. A set of eleven scale factors, six of which were previously derived from benzene and the other five for the vibrational motions of the methyl group from toluene by fitting their computed force fields to their observed vibrational spectra, was used to scale the computed harmonic force constants of 4-methylpyridine. The vibrational frequencies and the associated infrared absorption intensities of 4-methyl -pyridine were then predicted from this scaled force field without any fitting to the experimental data of 4-methylpyridine. Comparison with experimental spectra permitted a few corrections to be made in previous experimental or semiempirical assignments. The mean-deviations between experimental and predicted frequencies was only 5.6 cm^-1 for the non-CH stretching frequencies or 8.3 cm^-1 overall. Computed intensities are qualitatively m agreement with experiment. The optimization of scale factors for the five methyl vibrational motions produced a trivial improvement in the fit.     

Vibrational spectrum of 3-methyl and 4-methylpyridine

The assignments of the vibrational spectra of the 3-methyl and 4-methylpyridine molecules have been carried out following the SQMFF methodology (scaled quantum mechanical force field). The theoretical frequencies have been obtained by calculating the RHF/3-21G force field, using the scale factors for pyridine and 2-methylpyridine and are correlated in a satisfactory manner with the frequencies recorded in the IR and Raman of these methyl derivatives.     

Étude des modes normaux de vibration du furanne et de dérivés substitués

Studies on nitramide and its methyl derivatives with ab initio calculations. IV. The harmonic force field and vibrational spectra of dimethylnitramine and its isotopic derivatives

The complete harmonic vibrational force field of dimethylnitramine has been calculated at the Hartree-Fock level using 4–21G basis set. The harmonic force field was then scaled with scale factors previously derived from N-methylnitramine, and the vibrational spectrum of dimethylnitramine was computed. This a priori prediction, made with no reference to observations on dimethylnitramine, agrees with the experimental IR spectrum in gas phase with a mean deviation of 8.4 cm^?1. Some of the scale factors were reoptimized by fitting of the computed force field to experimental data. The new set of scale factors reduced the mean deviation to 4.5 cm^?1, and was used to predict the vibrational spectrum of deuterated form of dimethylnitramine(-6D). Dipole moment derivatives were also calculated and used to predict infrared intensities which are comparable with experimental values.     

Vibrational frequencies, force constants, mean amplitudes, shrinkage effects and thermodynamic functions for monohaloacetylenes

Harmonic force fields are developed for the monohaloacetylenes on the basis of recent vibrational spectra of H-CC-I and previously published spectra of H-CC-X (X = F, Cl, Br). Mean amplitudes of vibration and Bastiansen-Morino shrinkage effects are reported for monohaloacetylenes and their deuterated derivatives. Thermodynamic functions are listed for monoiodoacetylene.     

Normal coordinate analysis of porphin and its derivatives based on the solution of the inverse spectral problem for porphin and Cu porphin—III. Interpretation of vibrational spectra of metal complexes of octamethylporphin and octaethylporphin

The valence force field obtained for Cu porphin from the solution of the inverse spectral problem is used for calculating normal vibrations of Cu octamethylporphin and Cu octaethylporphin and their isotope-substituted derivatives (¹H-²H, ¹⁴N-¹⁵N). The interpretation of vibrational spectra of octamethylporphin and octaethylporphin metal complexes is given. Insufficient presentation of vibrational modes in terms of potential energy distribution to predict isotope shifts of vibrational frequencies is noted.     

Theoretical study on the vibrational spectra of methoxy- and formyl-dihydroxy-trans-stilbenes and their hydrolytic equilibria

Compounds formed by exchanging one of the resveratrol hydroxy groups to methoxy or formyl groups are biologically important. Quantum chemical DFT calculations were applied for the simulation of some of their properties. Their optimized structures and charge distributions were computed. Based on the calculated vibrational force constants and optimized molecular structure infrared and Raman spectra were calculated. The characteristics of the vibrational modes were determined by normal coordinate analysis. Applying the calculated thermodynamic functions also for resveratrol, methanol, formaldehyde and water, thermodynamic equilibria were calculated for the equilibria between resveratrol and its methyl and formyl substituted derivatives, respectively.

Normal coordinate analysis of 1,4-diethynylbenzene

Normal coordinate analysis has been carried out for the 1,4-diethynyl benzene molecule on the basis of experimental frequencies from the natural compound and its deuterated derivatives. A canonic force field has been set up by transferring force constants from related molecules. This force field has been refined to the experimental frequencies. A reassignment of the vibrational spectrum of 1,4-diethynyl benzene has been carried out.     

Inertia defects of urea

By means of an iterative consistency method it has been determined a complete potential field for the urea molecule. The force constants set which interpretates well the vibrational spectra of urea and its deutero derivatives has been used to evaluate rovibrational constants. The calculated inertia defects should confirm a non-planar structure for urea in gaseous phase.     

Transfer of molecular property tensors in cartesian coordinates: A new algorithm for simulation of vibrational spectra

A direct transfer of Cartesian molecular force fields (FF) and electric property tensors is tested on model systems and compared to transfer in internal coordinates with an aim to improve simulation of vibrational spectra for larger molecules. This Cartesian transformation can be implemented easily and offers greater flexibility in practical computations. It can be also applied for transfer of anharmonic derivatives. The results for model calculations of the force field and vibrational frequencies for N-methylacetamide show that our method removes errors associated with numerical artifacts caused by nonlinearity of the otherwise required Cartesian to internal coordinate transformation. For determination of IR absorption and vibrational circular dichroism intensities, atomic polar and axial tensors were also transferred in the Cartesian representation. For the latter, which are dependent upon the magnetic dipole operator, a distributed origin gauge is used to avoid an origin dependence. Comparison of the results of transferring ab initio FF and intensity parameters from an amide dimer fragment onto a tripeptide with those from a conventionally determined tripeptide FF document some limitations of the transfer method and its possible applications in the vibrational spectroscopy. Finally, application to determination of the FF and spectra for helical heptapeptide are presented and compared to experimental results. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
