In the present study, microsolvation and interaction of the CH[Formula: see text] cation with He[Formula: see text] clusters are investigated by means of ab initio calculations at MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and QCISD/aug-cc-pVTZ levels. Stabilization energies of the studied complexes including basis set superposition error (BSSE) and zero point energy (ZPE) corrections are in the range of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]kJ/mol and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]kJ/mol. A good linear correlation is found between the stabilization energy and stretching frequency shift ([Formula: see text]) in the studied complexes. According to energy decomposition analysis, it is found that polarization effects are the major source of the attraction in these complexes.

<p>We have calculated the intermolecular potential energy surface (IPES) of the dimer of cubic N8 cluster using <em>ab initio </em>and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The <em>ab initio </em>(HF/3- 21G(d)) and DFT (B3LYP/6-31G(d) and aug-cc-pVDZ) calculations were performed for two relative orientations of N8-N8 system as a function of separation distance between the centers of cubic N8 clusters. In this research, the IPES, <em>U</em>(<em>r</em>), of the N8-N8 system is studied, where the edge of N8 approaches to face or edge of the other considered N8. Then, the Lennard-Jones (12-6) and (22-11) adjustable parameters are fitted to the computed interaction energies for edge-face and edge-edge orientations. In this research for the first time, the IPESs proportionated to the Lennard-Jones (22-11) potential are derived that are compatible with the computed IPES curves. Assuming a set of Lennard-Jones parameters, the second virial coefficients are obtained for the N8-N8 complex at a temperature range of 298 to 1000 K. Both the corrected and uncorrected basis set superposition error (BSSE) results are presented confirming the significance of including BSSE corrections.</p>

The Relationship

AbstractThe ab initio calculation of 33S nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (NQCC) for a range of S-containing compounds with S2, S4 and S6 bonding types is described. All of the calculations used a triple zeta valence + polarisation basis set (TZVP) of gaussian type orbitals; all of the molecules were studied at the TZVP equilibrium geometry. The electric field gradients (EFG) calculated were correlated with the experimental NQCC obtained by either microwave spectroscopy (MW), nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) or NMR relaxation methods; although the experimental data cover a wide diversity of chemical types over a long period of time, the slope of the relationship between the EFG (qii) and the NQCC (χii) yields a value for the 33S atomic quadrupole moment of - 0.064 barn, very close to recent calculations with a large atomic basis set, and to experimental data. The relationship between the EFG tensor components and the internal molecular structure features is discussed for a diverse series of molecules.

Intermolecular Distances

We have performed the ab initio molecular orbital calculations for combinations of the fullerene-fragments as the models of the nonbonding interaction of C 60 dimer at the preferred configurations in the simple cubic phase. The intermolecular interaction potentials have been calculated using several basis sets with MP2 level of the electron correlation energy and the basis set superposition error correction. The strong dispersion attractions that is dominant in the van der Waals interaction has been found for the combinations of the fullerene-fragments. The equilibrium intermolecular distances obtained are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental value. The repulsive region of the intermolecular interaction calculated by ab initio method is found to be express by an atom–atom interaction potential with an anisotropic exponential type repulsive term, which is less steep than the conventional Lennard–Jones type potential.
