Ab Initio Ground-State Potential Energy Function and Vibration-Rotation Energy Levels of Aluminum Monohydride

The accurate ground-state potential energy function of aluminum monohydride (AlH) has been determined from ab initio calculations using the multireference averaged coupled-pair functional (MR-ACPF) method in conjunction with the correlation-consistent core-valence basis sets up to septuple-zeta quality. The vibration-rotation energy levels of the two isotopologues, AlH and AlD, were predicted to near the “spectroscopic” accuracy. The importance of electron correlation beyond the MR-ACPF level of approximation, the scalar relativistic, spin-orbit, adiabatic, and nonadiabatic effects was discussed. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Isomerism and Vibrational Spectra of Alkali Metal Perrhenates: Ab Initio CISD+Q Calculations

The equilibrium geometric parameters, isomerization energies, force fields, vibrational frequencies and intensities in the IR spectra of MReO₄ molecules (M = Li, Na, K) are calculated by the configuration interaction method including all singly and doubly excited configurations with Davidson's correction for quartic excitations in expanded basis sets using effective relativistic core potentials. The calculations indicate that the chemical bonds between the metal atoms and the ReO₄ anion group are highly polar. It is found that the MReO₄ molecule has two isomers. The basic isomer with C_2v symmetry has bidentate b coordination of the M⁺ cation to the ReO ₄ ^- anion. The excited isomer is of C_3v symmetry and corresponds to monodentate m coordination of M⁺. The low relative energies of the m isomers (17-29 kJ/mole) and the low energy barriers to the intramolecular mb rearrangements (5-11 kJ/mole) indicate that MReO₄ molecules are structurally nonrigid systems where the M–XO₄ chemical bonds are polytopic. The results of calculations are compared with the available literature data on the structure and vibrational spectra of MReO₄ molecules.

The statistical adiabatic channel model has been used to calculate rate coefficients for the reaction between H atoms and FO radicals on potential energy surfaces based on density functional theory and ab initio calculations between 200 and 1000 K.

Vibrational Spectra, Assignment, Conformational Stability and Ab Initio/DFT Calculations for 1-Nitropropane

The infrared spectra (4000–400 cm^{– 1}) of solid and the Raman spectra (3500–30 cm^{– 1}) of liquid and solid 1-nitropropane, CH₃CH₂CH₂NO₂, have been registered. Both the trans and gauche conformers have been identified in the fluid phase, while the trans form remains in the stable solid. Temperature dependence (190–230K) of the liquid 1-nitropropane Raman spectra has been carried out. From these data, the enthalpy difference was determined to be 870 ± 105 J-mol^–1, with the gauche conformer being the more stable rotamer. Ab initio and DFT calculations at different levels of approximation (HF, MP2, B3LYP, B3PW91) gave optimized geometries, harmonic force fields, and vibrational frequencies for the trans and gauche conformers. All the calculations (except the B3PW91/6-31G* level) predicted gauche as the low-energy conformer. Theoretical force constants are analyzed for formulating constraints in the molecular force field model of 1-nitropropane.     

Conformational Stability, Raman and Infrared Spectra, Vibrational Assignment, and Ab Initio Calculations of Allyltrifluorosilane

The Raman spectra (3500 to 30 cm^–1) of allyltrifluorosilane, CH₂CHCH₂SiF₃, in the liquid with quantitative depolarization ratios and solid states, and the infrared spectra (3500 to 30 cm^–1) of the gas and solid have been recorded. Additionally, the mid-infrared spectra of the sample dissolved in liquified xenon as a function of temperature (–100° to –55°C) have been recorded. All of these data indicate there are two conformers, the more stable gauche rotamer and a very small amount of the cis conformer in the fluid states, but only the gauche form remains in the polycrystalline solid. The variable temperature studies of the infrared spectrum of the xenon solution indicate a relatively large enthalpy difference of 354±30 cm^–1 (4.23±0.36 kJ/mol) between the conformers. The fundamental frequencies for the asymmetric (54 cm^–1) and SiF₃ (48 cm^–1) torsions for the gauche conformer were observed in the far infrared spectrum, and from the SiF₃ torsional frequency the barrier to internal rotation is calculated to have a value of 525 cm^–1 (6.28 kJ/mol). A complete vibrational assignment is presented for the gauche conformer that is consistent with the predicted wavenumbers utilizing the force constants from ab initio MP2/6-31G* calculations. The optimized geometries, conformational stabilities, harmonic force fields, infrared intensities, Raman activities, depolarization ratios, and vibrational wavenumbers have been obtained from RHF/6-31G* and/or MP2/6-31G* ab initio calculations. These quantities are compared to the corresponding experimental quantities when appropriate as well as with corresponding results for some similar molecules.Taken in part from the dissertation of Y. E. Nashed, which will be submitted to the Department of Chemistry in partial fulfillment of the Ph.D. degree     

Ab Initio Study on the Potential Energy Surfaces of B4 Cluster

The singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces (PES) for the isomerization and dissociation reactions of B₄ isomers have been investigated using ab initio methods. Ten B4 isomers have been identified and of these 10 species, 4 have not been reported previously. The singlet rhombic structure ¹1 is found to be the most stable on the B₄ surface, in agreement with the results of previous reports. Several isomerization and dissociation pathways have been found. On the singlet PES, the linear ¹3b can rearrange to rhombus ¹1 directly, while ¹3c rearranges to ¹1 through two‐step reactions involving a cyclic intermediate. On the triplet PES, the capped triangle structure ³2 undergoes ring opening to the linear isomer ³3b with a barrier of 34.8 kcal/mol and 44.9 kcal/mol, and the latter undergoes ring closure to the square structure ³1 with a barrier of 30.4 kcal/mol and 33.0 kcal/mol at the MP4/6–311+G(3df)//MP2/6–311G(d) and CCSD/aug‐cc‐pVTZ//MP2/6–311G(d) levels of theory, respectively. The direct decomposition of singlet B₄ yielding to B₃+B is shown to have a large endothermicity of 87.3 kcal/mol (CCSD), and that producing 2B₂ to have activation energy of 133.4 kcal/mol (CCSD).     

Infrared and Raman Spectra,Conformational Stability,Ab Initio Calculations,and Vibrational Assignments for Cyclopropyldifluorosilane

The infrared (3200–30 cm^–1) spectra of gaseous and solid Cyclopropyldifluorosilane, c-C₃H₅SiF₂H, and the Raman spectra (3200–20 cm^–1) of the liquid with quantitative depolarization values and the solid have been recorded. Both the syn (cis) and skew (gauche) conformers have been identified in the fluid phases, but only the syn conformer remains in the solid. Variable temperature (–55 to –100°C) studies of the infrared spectra of the sample dissolved in liquid xenon have been carried out. From these data, the enthalpy difference has been determined to be 73 ± 10 cm^–1 (209 ± 29 cal mol^–1), with the syn conformer being the more stable rotamer, which is at variance with the predictions from ab initio calculations. A complete vibrational assignment is proposed for both conformers based on infared band contours, relative intensities, depolarization values, and group frequencies. The vibrational assignments are supported by normal coordinate calculations utilizing the force constants from ab initio MP2/6-31G* calculations. Utilizing the frequencies of the silicon–hydrogen sketch, the rm Si—H bond distances of 1.474 and 1.472 Å have been obtained for the syn and skew conformers, respectively. Complete equilibrium geometries have been determined for both rotamers by ab initio calculations employing the 6-31G* and 6-311 +G** basis sets at levels of restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) and/or Moller–Plesset (MP) to second order. The potential energy terms for the conformer interconversion have been obtained from the MP2/6-31G* calculation. The results are discussed and compared to those obtained for some similar molecules.     

Ab Initio Calculations on the Vinyl Fluoride Fragmentation Reactions

High level ab initio calculations for the fragmentation reactions of vinyl fluoride were performed. The relative energies calculated at the QCISD(T)/6-311G(2d,2p) level of theory, corrected with MP2/6-311G(2d,2p) zero-point energies (ZPEs), differ significantly from those obtained previously at a lower level of theory. The calculations suggest that both the threeand four-center HF elimination processes are likely to occur, with the three-center elimination favored over the four-center at high energies.
