The spectroscopic properties of $FO^+$ and FO were investigated by ab initio calculation. Several different levels of theory, $MP3/6-31G^*,\;MP4/6-311G^*\;and\;CISD/6-31G^*$, were tried and compared with experimental results of FO. In the overall performance the CISD showed the best agreement. Based on these results the spectroscopic constants of $FO^+$ are predicted.

The ab initio calculations were performed on ClO and $ClO^+$ using the configuration interaction and M${\phi}$ller-Plesset methods of several different levels of approximation. Three different basis sets, 66 contracted Gaussian-type orbitals,6-31$G^*$ and 6-311$G^*$, were employed in this calculation. The results of calculation were compared with the experimental values of ClO. The values from the calculation with 66cGTO basis set gave excellent agreement with the experimental values. The spectroscopic constants of $ClO^+$ were also predicted.

Computational chemistry is a discipline using computational methods for the calculation of molecular structure, properties, and reaction or for the simulation of molecular behavior. Relating and turning the complexity of data from genomics, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemical synthesis, gene-expression investigations, pharmacogenomics, and proteomics into useful information and knowledge is the primary goal of bioinformatics. In particular, the structure-based molecular design is one of essential fields in bioinformatics and it can be called as structural bioinformatics. Therefore, the conformational analysis for proteins and peptides using the techniques of computational chemistry is expected to play a role in structural bioinformatics. There are two major computational methods for conformational analysis of proteins and peptides; one is the molecular orbital (MO) method and the other is the force field (or empirical potential function) method. The MO method can be classified into ab initio and semiempirical methods, which have been applied to relatively small and large molecules, respectively. However, the improvement in computer hardwares and softwares enables us to use the ab initio MO method for relatively larger biomolecules with up to v100 atoms or ∼800 basis functions. In order to show how computational chemistry can be used in structural bioinformatics, 1 will present on (1) cis-trans isomerization of proline dipeptide and its derivatives, (2) positional preference of proline in ${\alpha}$-helices, and (3) conformations and activities of Arg-Gly-Asp-containing tetrapeptides.

Molecular geometries for the cationic and neutral species of OXO (X=Cl, Br, and I) are optimized using the Hartree-Fock (HF) theory, the second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), the density functional theory with the B3LYP hybrid functional (B3LYP), and the coupled cluster theory using single and double excitation with a perturbational treatment of triplet excitation (CCSD[T]) methods, with two basis sets of triple zeta plus polarization quality. The single point calculations for these species are performed at the CCSD(T,Full) level. The harmonic vibrational frequencies for these species are calculated at the HF, MP2, B3LYP and CCSD(T) levels. The adiabatic ionization potential for OIO is calculated to be 936.7 kJ/mol at the CCSD(T,Full) level and the correct value is estimated to be around 945.4 kJ/mol.

The transition from aromatics to heteroaromatics is very attractive since it provides an extremely large structural variety, the chemical functionality as well as the possibilities for electronic tuning of the fullerene properties. A synthesis of heterofullerenes in macroscopic quantities is unknown however the spectrometric detection of $C_{59}B$ has been reported. The electronic structures of $C_{(60-2x)}(BN)_x$ systems, isoelectronic with $C_{60}$ have been explored by Extended Hukel, AM1 and ab initio methods. The polyhedral assembly energy are 7.7 kcal greater than $C_{60}$ when one B-N unit is substituted with C-C unit. The assembly energies are getting bigger if more B-N unit is introduced. We focus on HOMO-LUMO energy gap and the stability effects in $C_{(60-2x)}(BN)_x$ with different compositions of $(BN)_x$ moiety. The bonding properties of the substituent atoms were investigated in detail.

Raman spectra for the carbonyl stretching mode of the amides, and amide-solvent systems have been recorded to investigate the effect of alkyl substitutions at the carbonyl carbon and at the nitrogen on the amide hydrogen-bonding. The data have shown that the interaction affinities are in the order of amide-amide > amide-water > amide-alcohol in formamide system, and amide-water > amide-amide > amide-alcohol in acetamide and propionamide systems. The strength of the proton acceptor of the carbonyl oxygen is increased by the presence of alkyl group to the carbonyl carbon and the proton donorcity of the amide is decreased by the alkyl substitution at the nitrogen. The above results are in good agreement with the ab initio SCF MO calculation.

2-Fluorocyclopropanemethanol and 2-chlorocyclopropanemethanol have been studied with MP2 and B3LYP methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The optimized structures show several stable conformers. The most stable conformer show the possibility of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, but the distance between $H{\cdots}F$, or $H{\cdots}Cl$ is longer than van der Waals radii and it may not be strong covalent bonding. Rather the second stable conformer has optimum structure for intramolecular hydrogen bonding but the energy of the conformer is 5 ~ 7 kJ higher than the most stable conformer. When the methanol group and the F or Cl atom have opposite direction, the conformers are less stable than the most stable conformer.
