The equilibrium geometries of formaldehyde are optimized with B3LYP, B3PW91 and MP2 methods employing three basis sets 6-311++G(2d,2p), aug-cc-pVTZ and cc-pVTZ, respectively, which agree well with the corresponding experimental and previous theoretical data. The best optimized geometries are obtained at the theoretical level B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set. Basing on the calculated equilibrium geometries, the spectroscopic constants and anharmonic force field of H 2 CO are investigated. The results show that DFT method is superior to MP2 method at the calculation of spectroscopic constants and force constants of H 2 CO . The vibration–rotation interaction constants and fundamental vibrational wave numbers of H 2 CO are firstly theoretically calculated. The Coriolis coupling constants, cubic force constants and most of quartic force constants are firstly theoretically predicted.

Using chiral tosylates as model systems we evaluate the effect of diffuse and polarization functions on the quality of predicted VCD and IR spectra. Polarization functions on sulfur are shown to be important to reliable determine ACs using VCD.

In recent literature it was reported that the valence triple zeta basis set augmented by polarization functions is not too reliable for vinyl monohalo- and dihalomethanes and -silanes, the halogen being fluorine and chlorine. The major conclusion was that a valence triple zeta basis is too small to be augmented by polarization functions in a balanced way, at least on vinylmonofluoromethane. Thus we decided to apply the 6-311++G** basis set to the complete series of methanes, silanes and germanes (the latter ones are just added for completeness because no experimental data are available for them and, moreover, we published them already previously) and to compare the results to experimental data available in the literature to see whether the failures of this basis set show up in the complete series of molecules. In the literature we found five such molecules and the information which of the conformers is the most stable. Indeed we found that predictions on the relative stability of conformers in those systems with this basis set and MP2 as well as DFT are with a 60:40 chance, three being correct predictions and two being incorrect ones out of the five. However, since the energy differences are rather small in these systems and due to the fact that - as a consequence of twofold degeneracy of the gauche conformer on the potential curve of the torsional vibration - the abundances of the conformers in equilibrium do not change too much, we decided to calculate also vibrational spectra for three examples and to compare them also to experiment. It is reported that besides the failures in total energy (we have chosen two examples where predictions of the nature of the stable conformer are correct, and one where it is not), the vibrational spectra are rather well reproduced, especially when experimental energies are used to calculate abundances in equilibrium in the case where the prediction of the stable conformer failed.
