Intermolecular potential energy surface for CS2 dimer

A new four‐dimensional intermolecular potential energy surface for CS₂ dimer is obtained by ab initio calculation of the interaction energies for a range of configurations and center‐of‐mass separation distances for the first time. The calculations were performed using the supermolecular approach at the Møller–Plesset second‐order perturbation (MP2) level of theory with the augmented correlation consistent basis sets (aug‐cc‐pVxZ, x = D, T) and corrected for the basis‐set superposition error using the full counterpoise correction method. A two‐point extrapolation method was used to extrapolate the calculated energy points to the complete basis set limit. The effect of using the higher levels of theory, quadratic configuration interaction containing single, double, and perturbative triple excitations QCISD(T) and coupled cluster singles, doubles and perturbative triples excitations CCSD(T), on the shape of potential energy surface was investigated. It is shown that the MP2 level of theory apparently performs extremely poorly for describing the intermolecular potential energy surface, overestimating the total energy by a factor of nearly 1.73 in comparison with the QCISD(T) and CCSD(T) values. The value of isotropic dipole–dipole dispersion coefficient (C₆) of CS₂ fluid was obtained from the extrapolated MP2 potential energy surface. The MP2 extrapolated energy points were fitted to well‐known analytical potential functions using two different methods to represent the potential energy surface analytically. The most stable configuration of the dimer was determined at R = 6.23 au, α = 90°, β = 90°, and γ = 90°, with a well depth of 3.980 kcal mol^?1 at the MP2 level of theory. Finally, the calculated second virial coefficients were compared with experimental values to test the quality of the presented potential energy surface. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Theoretical study of the Si2NO potential energy surface

The structures, spectroscopies, and stabilities of the doublet Si₂NO radical are explored at the density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio levels. Seventeen isomers are located, connected by 26 interconversion transition states. At the CCSD(T)/6‐311+G(2df)//QCISD/6‐311G(d)+ZPVE level, three low‐lying isomers are predicted, that is, one bent species SiNSiO 3 (5.1 kcal/mol) containing the important Si?N triple bonding and two four‐membered ring isomers including cyclic cSiNSiO 1 (0.0) with Si? Si cross‐bonding with C_2v symmetry and puckered cSiNSiO 1′ (11.9) with divalent carbene character. Three low‐lying isomers 1, 1′, and 3 have reasonable kinetic stabilities and might be observable either experimentally or astrophysically. The possible formation strategies of 1, 1′, and 3 in laboratory and in space are discussed in detail. The calculated vibrational frequencies and possible formation processes of 3 are consistent with recent experimental observations. In light of the fact that no cyclic nitrogen‐containing species have been detected in space, two cyclic isomers 1 and 1′ could be promising candidates. Furthermore, the bonding nature of three isomers 1, 1′, and 3 is analyzed. The calculated results are also compared with those of the analogue C₂NO radical. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

CASPT2 study of the potential energy surface of the HSO2 system

The importance of the HSO(2) system in atmospheric and combustion chemistry has motivated several works dedicated to the study of associated structures and chemical reactions. Nevertheless controversy still exists in connection with the reaction SH + O(2)→ H + SO(2) and also related to the role of the HSOO isomers in the potential energy surface (PES). Here we report high-level ab initio calculation for the electronic ground state of the HSO(2) system. Energetic, geometric, and frequency properties for the major stationary states of the PES are reported at the same level of calculations: CASPT2/aug-cc-pV(T+d)Z. This study introduces three new stationary points (two saddle points and one minimum). These structures allow the connection of the skewed HSOO(s) and the HSO(2) minima defining new reaction paths for SH + O(2) → H + SO(2) and SH + O(2) → OH + SO. In addition, the location of the HSOO isomers in the reaction pathways have been clarified.     

The N2Ar potential energy surface

The potential energy surface for the N₂Ar system has been obtained assuming a spherical average interaction previously reported from this laboratory. The angular dependence has been assessed by a combined analysis of the integral and differential scattering cross sections and sonic spectroscope data. The potential energy surface is given via a parametric model. A similar potential energy surface for O₂Ar has been obtained with the same procedure. This surface is an improvement of an earlier one, because it reproduces the differential total cross sections recently measured.     

Singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces of C3H2

The detailed singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces of C₃H₂ involving nine isomers and 13 transition structures are studied at the G3 level of theory. The rearrangement mechanisms and the electronic properties of various isomers in a broad energy range have been studied in both singlet and triplet states. Cyclopropenylidene and propargylene are found to be the most stable isomers in the singlet and triplet states, respectively. The singlet isomers are found to be more kinetically stable species as a result of high conversion barriers through which they pass. The calculations indicate that cyclopropyne in its triplet state is the least kinetically stable isomer. It is realized that the G3 method comprises both computational cost and accuracy and thus can be applied to investigation of potential energy surface of small molecules.     

An accurate three-dimensional potential energy surface for the He-Na_2 complex

An accurate three-dimensional potential energy surface(PES) for the He-Na2 van der Waals comple was calculated at the coupled cluster singles-and-doubles with noniterative inclusion of connecte triple(CCSD(T)) level of theory.A mixed basis set,aug-cc-pVQZ for the He atom and cc-pCVQZ for th sodium atom,and an additional(3s3p2d1f) set of midbond functions were used.The computed inte action energies in 819 configurations were fitted to a 96-parameter analytic potential model by leas squares fitting.The PES has two shallow wells corresponding to the T-shaped structure and the linea configuration,which are located at 12.5a0 and 14 a0 with depths of 1.769 and 1.684 cm-1,respectivel The whole potential energy surface exhibits weak anisotropy.Based on the fitted PES,state-to-stat differential cross sections were calculated.     

Theoretical study on the potential energy surface of SiC2O

The DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d) and CCSD(T)/6-311G(2df) (single-point) methods have been used to investigate the potential energy surface of SiC₂O. A total of 11 isomers are located, which are connected by 13 interconversion transition states. The global minimum is the linear SiCCO with ¹Σ⁺ electronic state whose structure can be described as cumulenic double bonding form :SiCCÖ:. The isomer O-cSiCC possessing SiCC three-membered ring with an exocyclic OSi bond also shows considerable stability. Both SiCCO and O-cSiCC are kinetically stable towards isomerization and dissociation. Further calculations are performed at the CCSD(T)/6-311G(2df)//QCISD/6-311G(2d) level to obtain more reliable energies, geometrical parameters, harmonic vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities of the isomers. The energies and geometrical parameters are also calculated with the CASPT2//CASSCF methods.     

On the Reaction Mechanism of Br2 with OCS

The reaction mechanism of photochemical reaction between Br2 (^1∑) and OCS (^1∑) is predicted by means of theoretical methods. The calculated results indicate that the direct addition of Br2 to the CS bond of OCS molecule is more favorable in energy than the direct addition of Br2 to the CO bond. Furthermore, the intermediate isomer syn-BrC(O)SBr is more stablethe rmodynamically and kinetically than anti-BrC(O)SBr. The original resultant anti-BrC(O)SBr formed in the most favorable reaction channel can easily isomerize into the final product syn-BrC(O)SBr with only 31.72 kJ/mol reaction barrier height. The suggested mechanism is in good agreement with previous experimental study.     

Covalent-ionic nature of the potential energy surface of the Li-CO2 complex

Unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations with large basis sets, including d-functions, and the estimation of the correlation energy, show that the potential energy surface for the Li-CO₂ complex is built from the crossing of two states, each of them corresponding to a different electron arrangement. One has a strong ionic character and the other is of van der Waals type. Each portion of the energy surface presents a minimum, which is stable in respect to the dissociation limit.     

Ab initio prediction of the potential energy surface and vibration-rotation energy levels of BeH2

The equilibrium structure and potential energy surface of beryllium dihydride BeH(2) in its ground electronic state have been determined from highly accurate ab initio calculations. The vibration-rotation energy levels of three isotopomers BeH(2), BeD(2), and BeHD were predicted using the variational method. The calculated spectroscopic constants are in remarkably good agreement with the existing experimental data (sub-cm(-1) accuracy) and should be useful in a further analysis of high-resolution vibration-rotation spectra of all three isotopomers.

Ab initio prediction of the potential energy surface and vibration-rotation energy levels of CaCl2

The equilibrium structure and potential energy surface of calcium dichloride (CaCl2) have been determined from accurate ab initio calculations using the coupled-cluster method, CCSD(T), in conjunction with basis sets of quadruple- and quintuple-zeta quality. The CaCl2 molecule was found to be linear at equilibrium. The vibration-rotation energy levels of various CaCl2 isotopomers were predicted by the variational method. The calculated spectroscopic constants could be used to guide future high-resolution spectroscopic experiments on calcium dichloride.     

An ab initio potential energy surface and vibrational energy levels of ZnH2

A three‐dimensional potential energy surface of the electronic ground state of ZnH₂ (${X}^1\sum _g^ +$ ) molecule is constructed from more than 7500 ab initio points calculated at the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction with the Davidson correction (icMRCI+Q) level employing large basis sets. The calculated relative energies of various dissociation reactions are in good agreement with the previous theoretical/experimental values. Low‐lying vibrational energy levels of ZnH₂, ZnD₂, and HZnD are calculated on the three‐dimensional potential energy surface using the Lanczos algorithm, and found to be in good agreement with the available experimental band origins and the previous theoretical values. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An improved potential energy surface for the F+H2 reaction

A new ground state potential energy surface has been developed for the F+H₂ reaction. Using the UCCSD(T) method, ab initio calculations were performed for 786 geometries located mainly in the exit channel of the reaction. The new data was used to correct exit channel errors that have become apparent in the potential energy surface of Stark and Werner [J. Chem. Phys. 104 (1996) 6515]. While the entrance channel and saddlepoint properties of the Stark–Werner surface are unchanged on the new potential, the exit channel behavior is more satisfactory. The exothermicity on the new surface is much closer to the experimental value. The new surface also greatly diminishes the exit channel van der Waals well that was too pronounced on the Stark–Werner surface. Several preliminary dynamical scattering calculations were carried out using the new surface for total angular momentum equal to zero for F+H₂ and F+HD. It is found that gross features of the reaction dynamics are quite similar to those predicted by the Stark–Werner surface, in particular the reactive resonance for F+HD and F+H₂ survive. However, the most of the exit channel van der Waals resonances disappear on the new surface. It is predicted that the differential cross-sections at low collision energy for the F+H₂ reaction may be drastically modified from the predictions based on the Stark–Werner surface.     

Intermolecular potential energy surface of Ar-NO

Rotational spectra of an open-shell complex, Ar-NO, in the electronic ground state have been analyzed by employing an analysis using a free-rotor model, where previously observed data by Mills et al. [J. Phys. Chem. 90, 3331 (1986); 90, 4961 (1986)] and additional transitions observed by Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy in the present study are simultaneously analyzed with a standard deviation of the least-squares fit to be 27.5 kHz. A two-dimensional intermolecular potential energy surface for Ar-NO has been determined from the analysis. The determined potential energy surface is compared with those of Ar-OH and Ar-SH, which are also complexes containing an open-shell species with the 2Pi ground electronic state.     

Nitromethane dimer potential energy surface studies

The interaction energy of several conformations of the nitromethane dimer is investigated at the SCF level. The dispersion energy and counterpoise correction are computed for certain relative orientations of the monomers. Fourth-order many body perturbation theory SDQ-MBPT(4) energies are reported for selected points. Double zeta and double zeta plus polarization basis sets were used. All calculations were done with the monomer fixed at the isolated monomer geometry. Interaction energies as large as 6 kcal/mol are found at minima of hydrogen bonding orientations.     

Fluorobenzene-argon ground-state intermolecular potential energy surface

The ground-state intermolecular potential energy surface for the fluorobenzene-argon van der Waals complex is evaluated using the coupled-cluster singles and doubles including connected triple excitations model, with the augmented correlation consistent polarized valence double-zeta basis set extended with a set of 3s3p2d1f1g midbond functions. In the surface minima the Ar atom is located above and below the fluorobenzene plane at a distance of 3.562 A from the fluorobenzene center of mass and at an angle of 6.33 degrees with respect to the axis perpendicular to the fluorobenzene plane. The corresponding binding energy is 391.1 cm(-1). Both these results and the eigenvalues obtained from the potential compare well with the experimental data available.
