This research examined the effects of solvent polarity and temperature on the tautomerization of a carbonitrile molecule at CAM-B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) level of theory. The selected solvents were n-hexane, diethyl ether, pyridine, ethanol, methanol, and water. The solvent effects were examined by the self-consistent reaction field theory (SCRF) based on conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM). The solvent effects were explored on the energy barrier, frontier orbitals energies, and HOMO-LUMO gap. Dependencies of thermodynamic parameters (ΔG and ΔH) on the dielectric constants of solvents were also tested. Specifically, the temperature dependencies of the thermodynamics parameters were studied within 100–1000 K range. The rate constant of the tautomerism reaction was computed from 300 to 1200 K, in the gas phase.

Solvent effects on rotational barriers of 2-amino-3-mercapto-propionamide, an amide derived from cysteine, have been investigated at HF and MP2 levels of theory using a polarisable continuum model (PCM) of solvent. The predicted barrier in the gas phase increases by increasing the polarity of solvents. It was shown that the observed solvent-induced shielding variation is more strongly related to the intensity of the solvent reaction field rather than to the change of molecular geometry induced by the solvent.
