Ab initio and density functional calculations are used to analyze the interaction between a molecule of fulminic acid with one, two, three, and four molecules of ammonia along with a 2:2 complex at B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p) and MP2/6-311++G(d, p) computational levels. Cooperative effect (CE) in terms of stabilization energy of clusters is calculated and discussed as well. For the studied clusters, the CE is increased with increasing cluster size. Red shifts of H – C stretching frequency for complexes involving HCNO as H -donor are predicted. Atom in molecules is used to analyze the cooperative effect on topological parameters.

The reaction mechanism of Ni(COD)2 catalyzed hydrodesulfurization of aryl sulfide PhSMe with HSiMe3 has been predicted to have two competitive reaction pathways, with or without PhSMe spectator ligand, by using density functional theory methods.

Rearrangements of 2-adamantene 3, adamantylidene 4, and 4-protoadamantylidene 5 have been studied theoretically using high level ab initio computations. Adamantene 3 and adamantylidene 4 have singlet ground states. The conversion of 3 into 4 via 1,2 hydrogen migration ( Δ Gdouble dagger = 69.1 kcal mol-1) cannot compete with 1,2 carbon migration of 3 to 5 (30.3 kcal mol-1). The singlet carbene 5 rearranges to 2,4-dehydroadamantane 6 and 4,5-protoadamantene 9 via 1,3H and 1,2H shifts, respectively, with identical activation barriers of 8.8 kcal mol-1. The 1,2 migration of the bridge hydrogen in 5 leading to 3,4 protoadamantene 8 has a higher activation barrier (37.2 kcal mol-1). A retro Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 3 to 5-allyl-3-methylenecyclohex-1-ene 7 is the main channel of the unimolecular conversion of 3 ( Δ Gdouble dagger = 20.5 kcal mol-1). A predicted ratio of 7 > > 6 approx 9 of the products of thermolysis of 3 is in agreement with experimental data. The rearrangement of 4 into 6 via the 1,3H shift ( Δ Gdouble dagger = 11.8 kcal mol-1) dominates over the 1,2C shift of 4 to 8 (13.5 kcal mol-1), also in accord with experiment.Key words: adamantene, protoadamantenes, carbenes, rearrangements, ab initio, computation.
