Abstract Isocyanide-nitrile rearrangement has long been a continuing and interesting topic. A series of nitriles and isocyanides with the substituents of R=-AlH2, -BeH, -BH2, -C ≡ CH, -CF3, -CH3, -Cl, -C ≡ N, -COOH, -F, -H, Li, -MgH, -Na, -NH2, -NO2, -OH, -PH2, -SH, -SiH3, -CH = CH2 were investigated systematically based on full optimization at B3LYP-D3(BJ)/def2-QZVP level, and the isomerization energies from R-C ≡ N to :C = N-R were estimated. The substituent effect and bonding characters were analyzed by surface ESP colored van der Waals surfaces in conjunction with the global and local electrostatic extrema, the population analyses in terms of Hirshfeld and ADCH atomic charges, and bond order analyses via Laplacian and fuzzy bond orders.

The C—O and C—S bond lengths of the cations, radicals, and anions CH3O, CH3S, CH2OH, and CH2SH have been found not to correlate with the overlap populations of the C—X bonds. On the other hand, very satisfactory linear relations are observed with the ionic bond orders of the C—X bonds. It is suggested that, in certain molecular systems, it may be more meaningful to associate shortening of a bond A—B with greater coulombic attraction (or smaller coulombic repulsion) between the two point charges represented by the net atomic charges on the atoms A and B than with an increase in the overlap population between these atoms. It is noted that such an interpretation can account for the short C—P bond in a phosphonium ylide without resort to (p → d)π conjugation.

A derivation of the omega-like methods to calculate electronic molecular structures is given. The derivation is based on t h e Hartree-Fock formalism and shows in a natural way how the omega-like methods follows through the retention of certain two-electron repulsion integrals and the neglection of other ones. A generalized omega-technique is proposed where both diagonal and non-diagonal Hamiltonian matrix elements depend on atomic charges a n d bond orders. Some numerical examples are presented for the calculation of bond lengths, ionization potentials and VI ← N electronic transitions

<div>Computer simulations of bio-molecular systems often use force fields, which are combinations of simple empirical atom-based functions to describe the molecular interactions. Even though polarizable force fields give a more detailed description of intermolecular interactions, nonpolarizable force fields, developed several decades ago, are often still preferred because of their reduced computation cost. Electrostatic interactions play a major role in bio-molecular systems and are therein described by atomic point charges.</div><div>In this work, we address the performance of different atomic charges to reproduce experimental hydration free energies in the FreeSolv database in combination with the GAFF force field. Atomic charges were calculated by two atoms-in-molecules approaches, Hirshfeld-I and Minimal Basis Iterative Stockholder (MBIS). To account for polarization effects, the charges were derived from the solute's electron density computed with an implicit solvent model and the energy required to polarize the solute was added to the free energy cycle. The calculated hydration free energies were analyzed with an error model, revealing systematic errors associated with specific functional groups or chemical elements. The best agreement with the experimental data is observed for the MBIS atomic charge method, including the solvent polarization, with a root mean square error of 2.0 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup> for the 613 organic molecules studied. The largest deviation was observed for phosphor-containing molecules and the molecules with amide, ester and amine functional groups.</div>
