Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the structures of chloro silsesquioxanes Si2nO3nCl2n (n=1-5). Our study focuses on the structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of the chloro silsesquioxanes. The large HOMO–LUMO gaps, which range from 4.54 to 7.39 eV, imply optimal electronic structures for these molecules.

Aimed at predicting relative reactivities, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out on a series of Diels–Alder reactions involving silylvinyl derivatives reacting with cyclopentadiene as part of a synthetic research project. Using three reactions for which experimental rate data are available to calibrate our calculations, we computationally pinpointed the best synthetic route to bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,2-diylbis(trimethylsilane) (1). The synthesis begins with the Diels–Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene (2) with commercially available (1-bromovinyl)trimethylsilane (6).

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the structures of trifluoromethyl silsesquioxanes Si2nO3n(CF3)2n(n=1-5). Our study focuses on the structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of the trifluoromethyl silsesquioxanes. The large HOMO–LUMO gaps, which range from 5.38 to 8.02 eV, imply optimal electronic structures for these molecules.

After geometry optimization, the electron spectra of indole and four azaindoles are calculated by density functional theory. Available experimental photoemission and excitation data for indole and 7-azaindole are used to compare with the theoretical values. The results for the other azaindoles are presented as predictions to help the interpretation of experimental spectra when they become available.
