<div><div><div><p>Carboxylation reactions represent a very special class of chemical reactions that is characterized by the presence of a carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule as reactive species within its global chemical equation. These reactions work as fundamental gear to accomplish the CO2 fixation and thus to build up more complex molecules through different technological and biochemical processes. In this context, a correct description of the CO2 electronic structure turns out to be crucial to study the chemical and electronic properties associated with this kind of reactions. Here, a sys- tematic study of CO2 electronic structure and its contribution to different carboxylation reaction electronic energies has been carried out by means of several high-level ab-initio post-Hartree Fock (post-HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations for a set of biochemistry and inorganic systems. We have found that for a correct description of the CO2 electronic correlation energy it is necessary to include post-CCSD(T) contributions (beyond the gold standard). These high-order excitations are required to properly describe the interactions of the four π-electrons as- sociated with the two degenerated π-molecular orbitals of the CO2 molecule. Likewise, our results show that in some reactions it is possible to obtain accurate reaction electronic energy values with computationally less demanding methods when the error in the electronic correlation energy com- pensates between reactants and products. Furthermore, the provided post-HF reference values allowed to validate different DFT exchange-correlation functionals combined with different basis sets for chemical reactions that are relevant in biochemical CO2 fixing enzymes.</p></div></div></div>

Semilocal pseudopotentials are used in combination with a density-functional approximation for the correlation energy and special optimized basis sets to investigate the sulphur halides SF, SF2, SF3, FSSF, SSF2, SCl, SCl2, ClSSCl and SSCl2. It turns out that the inclusion of d-orbitals in the basis set playes a significant role with respect to the quality of the calculated molecular parameters. Properties of SF3 are calculated for the first time, and the differences between the disulphur difluorides and the disulphur dichlorides are explained.

Intermolecular Distances

We have performed the ab initio molecular orbital calculations for combinations of the fullerene-fragments as the models of the nonbonding interaction of C 60 dimer at the preferred configurations in the simple cubic phase. The intermolecular interaction potentials have been calculated using several basis sets with MP2 level of the electron correlation energy and the basis set superposition error correction. The strong dispersion attractions that is dominant in the van der Waals interaction has been found for the combinations of the fullerene-fragments. The equilibrium intermolecular distances obtained are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental value. The repulsive region of the intermolecular interaction calculated by ab initio method is found to be express by an atom–atom interaction potential with an anisotropic exponential type repulsive term, which is less steep than the conventional Lennard–Jones type potential.

Using a second quantized formulation, an approximate diatomics in molecules (DIM) theory is presented in which all three- and four-centered electronic integrals are neglected. To ameliorate the effects of this approximation, the DIM one electron operator is constructed so that the true ab initio first-order density matrix and total energy are reproduced at the Hartree–Fock level. The resulting model was extensively tested for a variety of basis sets for its capability of capturing both the dynamic and nondynamic components of the electron correlation energy as well as the energies of excited electronic states. A modified method in which the DIM one-electron operator is formed from the initial extended Hückel guess of the Hartree–Fock orbitals was also found to produce excellent results.Key words: DIM, electron correlation energy, excited states, semiempirical.
