The structure, stability, bonding and π-aromaticity in novel cyclic all-pnictogen heterocyclic anions, P2N3−and P3N2−, and in their heavier analogues are studied using quantum mechanical computations.

The recent development in understanding the structures, relative stability, and electronic properties of large fullerenes is reviewed. We describe an efficient scheme to generate the ground-state networks for fullerene clusters. Combining this scheme with quantum-mechanical total-energy calculations, the ground-state structures of fullerenes ranging from C 20 to C 100 have been studied. Fullerenes of sizes 60, 70, and 84 are found to be energetically more stable than their neighbors. In addition to the energies, the fragmentation stability and the chemical reactivity of the clusters are shown to be important in determining the abundance of fullerene isomers.

This paper initiates a systematic study of quantum functions, which are (partial) functions defined in terms of quantum mechanical computations. Of all quantum functions, we focus on resource-bounded quantum functions whose inputs are classical bit strings. We prove complexity-theoretical properties and unique characteristics of these quantum functions by recent techniques developed for the analysis of quantum computations. We also discuss relativized quantum functions that make adaptive and nonadaptive oracle queries.

The search for life-supporting molecules in outer space is an ever growing endeavour. Towards this, the quantum-mechanical computations supporting the astronomical spectroscopic observations are becoming valuable tools to unravel the complex chemical network in the interstellar medium (ISM). In the present work, quantum-mechanical computations are performed to obtain the rotational and vibrational line-data of gas-phase conformers of amino acid Leucine and its isomeric species predicted to be involved in its stereoinversion under the conditions of ISM. These species exhibit diverse chemistry including branched skeleton and zwitterionic ammonium ylides. Notably, the present work employs vibrational second order perturbation theory to account for anharmonic effects in rotational and vibrational transitions. The spectroscopic data computed in this work can assist in the detection of Leucine and its isomeric species in different regions of ISM.
