Density functional theory is used to determine the possible crystal structure of the CaSiO3 perovskites and their evolution under pressure. The ideal cubic perovskite is considered as a starting point for studying several possible lower-symmetry distorted structures. The theoretical lattice parameters and the atomic coordinates for all the structures are determined, and the results are discussed with respect to experimental data.

A versatile synthetic building block, 2-amino-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium chloride (L∙HCl) was synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR DEPT analysis, UV/Vis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The molecular geometry, vibrational wavenumbers and gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO), 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts values of the title compound in the ground state were obtained by using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set and compared with the experimental data. Electronic absorption spectrum of the salt was determined using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method at the same level. In the NMR and electronic absorption spectra calculations, the effect of solvent on the theoretical parameters was included using the default model with DMSO as solvent. The obtained theoretical parameters agree well with the experimental findings.

Abstract The structures of tri-and tetraiodo-substituted carbon compounds are determined either expe­rimentally by X-Ray Structure Analysis or, because crystallization of tetraiodothiophene could not be achieved, approximated by Density Functional Theory optimization of structural data from a donor/acceptor complex. The structures show noteworthy details such as a second po­lymorph of tetraiodoethene crystallized by sublimation or herringbone crystal packing patterns of tetraiodopyrrole derivatives. All molecular geometries are discussed and compared based on relativistic density functional theory calculations with 6 -31G* basis sets including iodine pseudopotentials. They reproduce even finer structural details due to van der Waals repulsion of the bulky iodo substituents. Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) charge distributions suggest positive partial charges at all iodine centers with the strongest polarization Cδ㊀ → Iδ㊉ in HCI3, which contains well over 97% iodine.
