Ab initio molecular orbital calculations using the restricted Hartree-Fock approach have been carried out for nitrosyl cyanide and related species on the ONCN potential surface. Full geometry optimizations have been performed with the minimal STO-3G and split-valence 4-31G basis sets. Calculated (4-31G) geometries are in good agreement with available experimental data as are the energy changes in the reactions ONCN → NO + CN and NO + CN → N2 + CO. Possible mechanisms are discussed.

The method of increments is a wavefunction-based ab initio correlation method for solids, which explicitly calculates the many-body wavefunction of the system. After a Hartree-Fock treatment of the infinite system the correlation energy of the solid is expanded in terms of localised orbitals or of a group of localised orbitals. The method of increments has been applied to a great variety of materials with a band gap, but in this paper the extension to metals is described. The application to solid mercury is presented, where we achieve very good agreement of the calculated ground-state properties with the experimental data.

Good Agreement

Based on cluster model, we have calculated the fundamental vibrational frequencies of rutile by combining ab initio method and Wilson’s GF-matrix method. In the calculation, we have introduced the concept of environment factor α to correct the force field of the cluster model. The results of calculation are in good agreement to the experimental data and the normal modes give us clear physical picture of the crystal vibration.

ABSTRACTWe have performed ab initio calculations and determined the bond-energies and vibrational frequencies of Si-H groups that are: i) attached to Si-atoms as their immediate, and also more distant neighbors; and ii) attached to three O-atoms as their immediate neighbors, but are connected to an all Si-atom matrix. These arrangements simulate bonding geometries on Si surfaces, and the calculated frequency for i) is in good agreement with that of an Si-H group on an Si surface. To compare these results with a-Si:H alloys it is necessary to take into account an additional factor: the effective dielectric constant of the host. We show how to do this, demonstrating the way results of the ab initio calculations should then be compared with experimental data.

Fluorine atoms incorporated into 1,5-hexadiene molecule should influence the kinetic as well as the thermodynamic parameters of [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement (Cope rearrangement). Within few decades is has been documented that this transformation proceeds in a concerted manner, rather than stepwise with some radical intermediates involved. Few new terminally fluorinated 1,5-hexadienes (compounds 3, 5A, 7, 9 and 5B) have been synthesized. The activation parameters of rearrangement have been determined and compared with those known for hydrocarbon analogues. While systems developing chair-like transition states (compounds 3 and 5) showed close similarity with hydrocarbon analogues (compound 1), those developing boat-like transition states (compounds 7, 9 and 5B) may proceed through radical stepwise mechanism. Computational studies of the transition states were carried out, showing that only ab initio methods (MP2 and especially DFT) can give approximate correlation with experimental data, whereas in the case of hydrocarbon analogues even simple semiempirical methods (AM1) were reliable enough to reproduce experimental results.

ABSTRACTTight-binding molecular-dynamics simulations are performed to study the structure of liquid and amorphous carbon. Comparisons of our results with ab initiomolecular dynamics (Car-Parrinello) results and experimental data show that the scheme has sufficient accuracy and efficiency for realistic simulation study of the structural properties of complex carbon systems.
