The heat of formation of the norbornyl ion has been evaluated from experimental data. This was compared to the heats of formation of various formulations of the norbornyl ion computed by quantum mechanical methods.

A broad diverse test set of alkanes and cycloalkanes previously studied with MM4 calculations has had the heats of formation calculated by several different quantum mechanical methods: HartreeFock, MP2, and MP4, and also by B3LYP and B3LYP + dispersion energy. Overall, three computational methods (MM4, MP4, and B3LYP + dispersion) yield results that are generally of experimental accuracy. These results are analyzed and compared in some detail.

AbstractQuantum-mechanical methods are used for understanding molecular interactions throughout the natural sciences. Quantum diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and coupled cluster with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations [CCSD(T)] are state-of-the-art trusted wavefunction methods that have been shown to yield accurate interaction energies for small organic molecules. These methods provide valuable reference information for widely-used semi-empirical and machine learning potentials, especially where experimental information is scarce. However, agreement for systems beyond small molecules is a crucial remaining milestone for cementing the benchmark accuracy of these methods. We show that CCSD(T) and DMC interaction energies are not consistent for a set of polarizable supramolecules. Whilst there is agreement for some of the complexes, in a few key systems disagreements of up to 8 kcal mol−1 remain. These findings thus indicate that more caution is required when aiming at reproducible non-covalent interactions between extended molecules.

This review focuses on a combination of ab initio molecular dynamics (aiMD) and NMR parameters calculations using quantum mechanical methods. The advantages of such an approach in comparison to the commonly applied computations for the structures optimized at 0 K are presented. This article was designed as a convenient overview of the applied parameters such as the aiMD type, DFT functional, time step, or total simulation time, as well as examples of previously studied systems. From the analysis of the published works describing the applications of such combinations, it was concluded that including fast, small-amplitude motions through aiMD has a noticeable effect on the accuracy of NMR parameters calculations.
