Abstract: | The RHF/6-311G(d) and MP2/6-311G(d) calculations with full geometry optimization were performed for XCH=CH2 molecules (X = F, Cl, Br, CH3, CH2CH3, CH2F, CHO). The p y electron density distribution in these molecules and the bonding molecular orbitals formed by the p y orbitals of atoms of the planar fragment of these molecule (atomic orbitals whose symmetry axes are perpendicular to this plane) are not determined by the p,π conjugation between the lone electron pair of the heteroatom in substituent X and π electrons of the C=C bond. Changes in the population of the p y orbitals of the halogen and carbon atoms in going from X = F to X = Cl and Br are not associated with changes in the extent of this p,π interaction. Taking into account the electon correlation in the MP2 method does not noticeably alter the features of the electron density distribution in these molecules estimated by restricted Hartree-Fock calculations. |
