The dissociation energy of the Ti(OH2)+ ion–molecule complex was calculated by the multiconfigurational self-consistent field theory, coupled cluster theory, and two density functional theory based methods, using both all-electron basis sets and effective core potentials. The calculations show that approximate density functional theory gives results in better agreement with experiment than either the multiconfigurational self-consistent field theory or the coupled cluster theory, with both all-electron basis sets and effective core potentials. Nevertheless, the optimized geometries and harmonic vibration frequencies are very similar, irrespective of the level of theory used. The interconfigurational energy ordering of the two valence electronic configurations dn−1s and dn−2s2 of the 4F electronic state of the titanium cation were also calculated and are discussed. Key words: ab initio, dissociation energy, ion–molecule complex, effective core potentials, transition metals.

AbstractAn analytical pair potential function for the system Cu(II)-water has been derived by means of ab initio calculation of the corresponding energy surface, using double zeta + polarization basis sets and effective core potentials. Tests on the function show that it should be reliable for use in Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics simulations.
