The crystalline structure of ground-state orthorhombic SrRuO3 is reproduced by applying the hybrid density functional theory scheme to the functionals based on the revised generalized-gradient approximations for solidstate calculations. The amount of Hartree–Fock (HF) exchange energy is varied in the range of 5–20% in order to systematically ascertain the optimum value of HF mixing which in turn ensures the best correspondence to the experimental measurements. Such investigation allows one to expand the set of tools that could be used for the efficient theoretical modelling of, for example, only recently stabilized phases of SrRuO3, helping to resolve issues emerging for the experimentalists.

The present study reports the theoretical vertical ionization potentials (IPs) for all the valence electrons in six XPY2 molecules by utilizing the corrected orbital energies calculated with three theoretical methods, namely, the ab initio Hartree–Fock (HF), and both the pure and hybrid density functional theory (DFT) methods at, respectively, the BLYP/6-311+G* and B3lYP/6-311+G* levels of theory. Evaluation of the numerical corrections to the orbital energies was achieved by comparisons with the IP values obtained via explicit computation of the energy differences between the neutral molecules and the corresponding radical cations (the ΔSCF method) and shows values from –0.9 to –1.9 eV for the HF, and positive values from 2.9 to 3.9 eV and from 1.8 to 2.4 eV for the pure and hybrid DFT methods, respectively. In contrast to the orbital energies, the ΔSCF method is shown to give consistent values among the three methods, as well as reasonable agreement with the experimental IP values.Key words: ionization potential, phosphorane, Koopmans' theorem, Janak's theorem.

In the framework of method of the B3LYP hybrid density functional and the restricted Hartree-Fock method, quantum-chemical calculations of model compounds of lignin, i.e. derivatives of p-hydroxycinnamic alcohol were carried out. The structures and reactivity of coumaric, coniferyl and synapol alcohols were studied. Quantitative characteristics of the reactivity of these acids are given. It is found that the electronic structure of lignin is determined primarily by the charge distribution in its structural phenylpropane unit. In the molecules of all model compounds of lignin, the center for nucleophilic attack is the carbon of aromatic ring (E-ring) with a hydroxyl group, and in the molecule of synapol alcohol, this center is also the carbon of the aromatic ring (E-ring) with a methoxy group. In all three compounds, a center with an increased electron density appears on the Сβ carbon atom.

Magnetic coupling constants J for the complete structures of [ Gd(capro) 2( H 2 O )4 Cr(CN) 6]• H 2 O (capro represents caprolactam) (a) and trans-[ Fe(CN) 4(μ- CN )2 Gd ( H 2 O )4 (bpy) ]•4 H 2 O •1.5 bpy (b) have been calculated using hybrid density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP combined with a modified broken symmetry approach (BS). The calculated J value of -0.24 cm-1 for a is very close to the experimental -0.33 cm-1. They both show the antiferromagnetic interaction between Gd(III) and Cr(III) . For b, although the sign of the calculated J value of 4.24 cm-1 is different from that of the experimental -0.38 cm-1, the two values both show the weak magnetic coupling interaction between Gd(III) and Fe(III) . The spin density distributions are discussed on the basis of Mulliken population analysis. For complexes a and b, both transition metal ( Fe(III) or Cr(III) ) and rare earth Gd(III) display a spin polarization effect on the surrounding atoms, where a counteraction of the opposite polarization effects leads to a low spin density on the bridging ligand C1N1 . For the compounds Gd(III) - Cr(III) (a) and Gd(III) - Fe(III) (b) in the HS states, Cr(III) has stronger spin polarization influence on the bridging atoms than Fe(III) even causing the positive spin population on the bridging atom N1 .
