Anion photoelectron spectra are presented for gas phase complexes formed between halide anions and nitric oxide, X−⋯NO where X− = Cl−, Br−, and I−. Electron binding energies are experimentally determined to be 3.82, 3.51, and 3.17 eV. Results from CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations are presented for the anion species, whereby a single minimum of Cs symmetry is predicted. Binding energies (D0) of 15.3, 13.3, and 11.7 kJ mol−1 are predicted from complete basis set limit extrapolation, and are found to be in line with previous experimental studies.

A new database of transition metal reaction barrier heights – MOBH35 – is presented. Benchmark energies (forward and reverse barriers and reaction energy) are calculated using DLPNO-CCSD(T) extrapolated to the complete basis set limit using a Weizmann1-like scheme. Using these benchmark energies, the performance of a wide selection of density functional theory (DFT) exchange–correlation functionals, including the latest from the Truhlar and Head-Gordon groups, is evaluated. It was found, using the def2-TZVPP basis set, that the ωB97M-V (MAD 1.8 kcal/mol), ωB97X-V (MAD 2.1 kcal/mol) and SCAN0 (MAD 2.1 kcal/mol) hybrid functionals are recommended. The double-hybrid functionals PWPB95 (MAD 1.6 kcal/mol) and B2K-PLYP (MAD 1.8 kcal/mol) did perform slightly better but this has to be balanced by their increased computational cost.

Molecular properties of the thallium monocyanide (Tl·CN) system in its ground electronic state are studied using high-precision ab initio relativistic two-component pseudopotential replacing 60 inner-core electrons of Tl. A relativistic coupled-cluster method with single, double and perturbative triple amplitudes is employed to account for electronic correlations. Extrapolation of results to the complete basis set limit is used for all studied properties. The global potential energy minimum of Tl·CN corresponds to the linear cyanide (TlCN) isomer, while the non-rigid isocyanide-like (TlNC) structure lies by approximately 11 kJ/mol higher in energy. The procedure of restoration of the wavefunction in the “core” region of Tl atom was applied to calculate the interaction of the Tl nuclear Schiff moment with electrons. The parameter X of the interaction of the Tl nuclear Schiff moment with electrons in the linear TlCN molecule equals 7150 a.u. The prospects of using the TlCN molecule for the experimental detection of the nuclear Schiff moment are discussed.
