Quantum mechanical calculations were performed to study the conformational behavior and complexation between a sodium cation and a diazacrown (diaza-18-crown-6) using density functional theory (DFT), Møller–Plesset (MP2) and molecular mechanics methods.

We used density functional theory and multireference wave-function based methods to predict new heterobimetallic complexes featuring a uranium and a first-row transition metal. The quantum mechanical calculations predict a five-fold bonding between uranium and manganese metals.

AbstractQuantum mechanical calculations based on density functional theory and a generalized gradient approx imation have been used to study the pressure-induced B1 to B2 structural phase transition in YbN, YbP and YbAs. The phase transitions are predicted to occur at 137 GPa in YbN, at 25 GPa in YbP, and at 20 GPa in YbAs. These values are significantly lower than those predicted by empirical poten tial model calculations. Bulk moduli are predicted to be 136, 70 and 63 GPa for YbN, YbP and YbAs, respectively.
