Experimental Findings

Conformation of nicotinamide (I), 3-carbamoylpyridinium (IIa), 1-methyl-3-carbamoylpyridinium (IIb), and 1-methyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (IIIa) has been studied in the rigid rotor approximation on the basis of non-empirical STO-3G wave functions. The rotation barriers decrease in the order: IIIa > I ~ IIb > IIa. When confronted with semiempirical calculations, the conformation curves of molecular energy show a better qualitative similarity to the EHT than to NDDO and particularly to CNDO/2 curves. Relation of the calculated characteristics to experimental findings is discussed.

Internal Rotational Barriers

Semiempirical and ab initio MO calculations were performed to estimate the structural parameters of tert-butylammonium ion and its potential energies for the internal rotation of the CH3 and NH3+ groups. The barrier height for the rotation of NH3+ was found to be lower than for that of CH3 , corresponding to the C - N bond being longer than the C - C bond.
