Polarized bases set approach has been applied for preparation of medium-size contracted GTO basis sets starting from various standard energy-optimized and even-tempered isotropic atomic basis sets. Their usefulness for calculation of the SCF interaction energy and its components as well as dispersion energy consistently determined within the dimer basis set were studied for He2 and Be2 systems for intermediate internuclear separations. The results obtained with polarized basis sets indicate their good performance in comparison with property oriented ones.

<p>Expanded porphyrins provide a versatile route to molecular switching devices due to their ability to shift between several π-conjugation topologies encoding distinct properties. Taking into account its size and huge conformational flexibility, DFT remains the workhorse for modeling such extended macrocycles. Nevertheless, the stability of Hückel and Möbius conformers depends on a complex interplay of different factors, such as hydrogen bonding, p···p stacking, steric effects, ring strain and electron delocalization. As a consequence, the selection of an exchange-correlation functional for describing the energy profile of topological switches is very difficult. For these reasons, we have examined the performance of a variety of wavefunction methods and density functionals for describing the thermochemistry and kinetics of topology interconversions across a wide range of macrocycles. Especially for hexa- and heptaphyrins, the Möbius structures have a pronouncedly stronger degree of static correlation than the Hückel and figure-eight structures, and as a result the relative energies of singly-twisted structures are a challenging test for electronic structure methods. Comparison of limited orbital space full CI calculations with CCSD(T) calculations within the same active spaces shows that post-CCSD(T) correlation contributions to relative energies are very minor. At the same time, relative energies are weakly sensitive to further basis set expansion, as proven by the minor energy differences between MP2/cc-pVDZ and explicitly correlated MP2-F12/cc-pVDZ-F12 calculations. Hence, our CCSD(T) reference values are reasonably well-converged in both 1-particle and n-particle spaces. While conventional MP2 and MP3 yield very poor results, SCS-MP2 and particularly SOS-MP2 and SCS-MP3 agree to better than 1 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup> with the CCSD(T) relative energies. Regarding DFT methods, only M06-2X provides relative errors close to chemical accuracy with a RMSD of 1.2 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup>. While the original DSD-PBEP86 double hybrid performs fairly poorly for these extended p-systems, the errors drop down to 2 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup> for the revised revDSD-PBEP86-NL, again showing that same-spin MP2-like correlation has a detrimental impact on performance like the SOS-MP2 results. </p>

In molecular modeling the description of the interactions between molecules forms the basis for a correct prediction of macroscopic observables. Here, we derive atomic charges from the implicitly polarized electron density of eleven molecules in the SAMPL6 challenge using the Hirshfeld-I and Minimal Basis Set Iterative Stockholder(MBIS) partitioning method. These atomic charges combined with other parameters in the GAFF force field and different water/octanol models were then used in alchemical free energy calculations to obtain hydration and solvation free energies, which after correction for the polarization cost, result in the blind prediction of the partition coefficient. From the tested partitioning methods and water models the S-MBIS atomic charges with the TIP3P water model presented the smallest deviation from the experiment. Conformational dependence of the free energies and the energetic cost associated with the polarization of the electron density are discussed.

The S66 benchmark for non-covalent interactions has been re-evaluated using explicitly correlated methods with basis sets near the one-particle basis set limit. It is found that post-MP2 ‘high-level corrections’ are treated adequately well using a combination of CCSD(F12*) with (aug-)cc-pVTZ-F12 basis sets on the one hand, and (T) extrapolated from conventional CCSD(T)/heavy-aug-cc-pV{D,T}Z on the other hand. Implications for earlier benchmarks on the larger S66×8 problem set in particular, and for accurate calculations on non-covalent interactions in general, are discussed. At a slight cost in accuracy, (T) can be considerably accelerated by using sano-V{D,T}Z+ basis sets, whereas half-counterpoise CCSD(F12*)(T)/cc-pVDZ-F12 offers the best compromise between accuracy and computational cost.

ABSTRACT Rotational inelastic scattering of silyl cyanide (SiH3CN) molecule with helium (He) atoms is investigated. Three-dimensional potential energy surface (3D-PES) for the SiH3CN–He interacting system is carried out. The ab initio 3D-PES is computed using explicitly correlated coupled cluster approach with single, double, and perturbative triple excitation CCSD(T)-F12a connected to augmented-correlation consistent-polarized valence triple zeta Gaussian basis set. A global minimum at (R = 6.35 bohr; θ = 90○; ϕ = 60○) with a well depth of 52.99 cm−1 is pointed out. Inelastic rotational cross-sections are emphasized for the 22 first rotational levels for total energy up to 500 cm−1 via close coupling (CC) approach in the case of A-SiH3CN and for the 24 first rotational levels for total energy up to 100 cm−1 via CC and from 100 to 500 cm−1 via coupled states (CS) in the case of E-SiH3CN. Rate coefficients are derived for temperature until 80 K for both A- and E-SiH3CN–He systems. Propensity rules are obtained for |ΔJ| = 2 processes with broken parity for A-SiH3CN and for |ΔJ| = 2 processes with |ΔK| = 0 and unbroken parity for E-SiH3CN.
