The molecular structures and electron affinities of the R – S / R – S -( R = CH 3, C 2 H 5, n- C 3 H 7, n- C 4 H 9, n- C 5 H 11, i- C 3 H 7, i- C 4 H 9, t- C 4 H 9) species have been studied using 17 pure and hybrid density functionals (five generalized gradient approximation (GGA) methods, six hybrid GGAs, one meta GGA method and five hybrid meta GGAs). The basis set used in this work is of double-ζ plus polarization quality with additional diffuse s- and p-type functions, denoted by DZP++. The geometries are fully optimized with each DFT method and discussed. Harmonic vibrational frequencies are found to be within 3.5% of available experimental values for most functionals. Three different types of the neutral-anion energy separations have been presented. The theoretical electron affinities of alkylthio radicals are in good agreement with the experiment data. The M06 method is very good for the adiabatic electron affinity calculations, and the average absolute error is 0.0439 eV. The HCTH method performs better for EA prediction. The M06-HF, mPWPW91, VSXC and B98 are also reasonable. The most reliable adiabatic electron affinities are predicted to be 1.864 eV ( CH 3 S ), 1.946 eV ( C 2 H 5 S ), 1.959 eV (n- C 3 H 7 S ), 1.970 eV (n- C 4 H 9 S ), 1.982 eV (n- C 5 H 11 S ), 2.053 eV (i- C 3 H 7 S ), 1.991 eV (i- C 4 H 9 S ) and 2.100 eV (t- C 4 H 9 S ) at the M06/DZP++ level of theory, respectively.

AbstractSeven different density functionals, including GGAs, meta-GGAs, hybrids and range-separated hybrids, and considering Grimme’s empirical dispersion correction (M06-L, M06-2X, PBE0, B3LYP, B3LYP-D3, CAM-B3LYP, ωB97X) have been tested for their performance in the prediction of molecular structures, energies and energy barriers for a class of newly developed antitumor platinum complexes involving main group heavy elements such as arsenic. The calculated structural parameters, energies and energy barriers have been compared to the available experimental data. The results show that range-separated hybrid functionals CAM-B3LYP and ωB97X give good results in predicting both geometrical parameters and isomerization energies and barrier heights and are promising new tools for the theoretical study of novel platinum(II) arsenic compounds.

Through a theoretical study, the molecular structures of XPrO are found to be correlated with the Pr oxidation state; compounds with higher oxidation state have more important 4f involvement in the chemical bonding and thus the structure becomes more linear.
