Ab initio crystal orbital calculations on three-dimensional crystals of large bioorganic molecules and polymers

Ab initio crystal orbital calculations on three-dimensional crystals of tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ), diprotonated deoxycytidine-5′-monophosphate monohydrate (5′-dCMP*2H*1Water), disodium deoxyguanosine-5′-monophosphate tetrahydrate (5′-dGMP*2Na*4Water), disodium uridine-3′-monophosphate tetrahydrate (3′-UMP*2Na*4Water), monosodium monoprotonated deoxyadenosine-5′-monophosphate hexahydrate (5′-dAMP*1H*1Na*6Water), disodium deoxycytidine-5′-monophosphate heptahydrate (5′-dCMP*2Na*7Water), cis-polyacetylene (cis-PA), and polythiophene (PTP) were carried out using the CRYSTAL92 routine package. A suitable basis set has been found that enables one to carry out the above calculations at the STO -3G level of accuracy using SILICON GRAPHICS workstations. However, to obtain reasonable results for three-dimensional crystals of polymers, one has to use much more extended basis sets. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
