The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and dissociation energies for $H_{2n+1}^+$ (n=1~6) clusters have been investigated using high level ab initio quantum mechanical techniques with large basis sets. The equilibrium geometries have been optimized at the self-consistent field (SCF), the single and double excitation configuration interaction (CISD), the coupled cluster with single and double excitation (CCSD), and the CCSD with connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] levels of theory. The highest levels of theory employed in this study are TZ2P+d CCSD(T) up to $H^+_g$ and TZ2P CCSD(T) for $H_{11}^+$ and $H_{13}^+$. Harmonic vibrational frequencies are also determined at the SCF level of theory with various basis sets and confirm that all the optimized geometries are true minima. The dissociation energies, $D_e$, for $H_{2n+1}^+$ (n=26) have been predicted using energy differences at each optimized geometry and zero-point vibrational energies(ZPVEs) have been considered to compare with experimental dissociation energies, $D_0$.

The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and relative energies for 1,2-, 1,3-dioxetanes, and 1,3-cyclodisiloxane have been investigated using high level ab initio quantum mechanical techniques with large basis sets. The geometries have been optimized at the self-consistent field(SCF), the single and double excitation configuration interaction(CISD), the coupled cluster with single and double excitation(CCSD), and the CCSD with connected triple excitations[CCSD(T)] levels of theory. The highest level of theory employed in this study is TZ2P CCSD(T). Harmonic vibrational frequencies and IR intensities are also determined at the SCF level of theory with various basis sets and confirm that all the optimized geometries are true minima. Also zero-point vibrational energies have been considered to predict the dimerization energies for 1,2- and 1,3-isomers.

The DFT and ab initio calculations have been performed to elucidate hydrogen interaction of hydrogen polyoxide dimers, $H_2O_n-H_2O_m$ (n=1-4, m=1-4). The optimized geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and binding energies are predicted at various levels of theory. The harmonic vibrational frequencies of the molecules considered in this study show all real numbers implying true minima. The higher-order correlation effect were discussed to compare MP2 result with CCSD(T) single point energy. The binding energies were corrected for the zero-point vibrational energy (ZPVE) and basis set superposition errors (BSSE). The largest binding energy predicted at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ level of theory is 8.18 kcal/mol for $H_2O_4-H_2O_3$ and the binding energy of water dimer is predicted to be 3.00 kcal/mol.

The density functional theory(DFT) and ab initio calculations have been applied to investigate hydrogen interaction of $H_2O_3(H_2O)_n$ clusters(n=1-5). The structures, IR spectra, and H-bonding energies are calculated at various levels of theory. The $trans-H_2O_3$ monomer is predicted to be thermodynamically more stable than cis form at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ level of theory. For clusters, the geometries are optimized at the MP2/cc-pVTZ level of theory. The binding energy of $H_2O_3-H_2O$ cluster is predicted to be -6.39 kcal/mol at the CCSD(T)//MP2/cc-pVTZ level of theory after zero-point vibrational energy (ZPVE) and basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction. This result implies that $H_2O_3$ is a stronger proton donor(acid) than either $H_2O$ or $H_2O_2$. The average binding energies per $H_2O$ are predicted to be 8.25 kcal/mol for n=2, 7.22 kcal/mol for n=3, 8.50 kcal/mol for n=4, and 8.16 kcal/mol for n=5.

We evaluate electron density functional theories for the computation of 0-1 and 1-2 transition energies of local OH stretching motion of water molecules in condensed phases. By examining thirteen density functionals and nine sets of basis functions, it was found that the optimal combination that predicts the transition energies highly correlated with those calculated by the coupled cluster theory, CCSD(T), is the hybrid density functional theory developed by Head-Gordon group, ωB97X(D)/6-31+G^*.

The electronic structure calculations for organic light-emitting diode-emitting materials were performed using three different methods: r² SCAN-3c, B3LYP-D3/def2-TZVP, and DLPNO-STEOM-CCSD/def2-SVP. These calculations were used to predict structure optimization, molecular orbitals, and excitation properties. Additionally, the differences among the calculation methods were investigated and compared with experimental values to identify the most suitable computational method. The five selected emitting materials include N,N,N',N'-tetraphenyl-anthracene-9,10-diamine, in which diphenyl amines are substituted on an anthracene chromophore, along with other alkyl groups of varying sizes and positions. The qualitative predictions made by the calculations were mostly consistent with the experimental results, and among them, the B3LYP/def2-TZVP method showed the smallest error in absorption wavelength compared to the experimental results, confirming it as the most suitable calculation method.

The DFT and ab initio calculations have been performed to elucidate hydrogen interaction of HOOO-(H₂O)_n (n=1~5) clusters. The optimized geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and binding energies are predicted at various levels of theory. The trans conformer of HOOO monomer is predicted to be thermodynamically more stable than cis form at the CCSD(T) level of theory. For HOOO-(H₂O)_n clusters, the geometries are optimized at B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ and CAM-B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ levels of theory. The binding energy of HOOO-H₂O cluster is predicted to be 6.05 kcal/mol at the MP2//CAM-B3LYP/ aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory after zero-point vibrational energy (ZPVE) and basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction. The average binding energy per H₂O is increased according to adding a H₂O moiety in HOOO-(H₂O)_n clusters up to 7.2 kcal/mol for n=5.

The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and IR intensities of dimethyldioxirane had been investigated using high level ab initio quantum mechanical methods with various basis sets. The polarization function decreases C-O and C-C bond distances significantly and the electron correlation effect increases those bond lengths slightly, while other bond lengths and bond angles are relatively stable for basis set size and correlation effect. The experimental and other theoretical vibrational frequencies and IR intensities of dimethyldioxirane will be compared and discussed with our high level theoretical predictions.

The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and IR intensities for primary ozonide (POZ), secondary ozonide (SOZ) and carbonyl oxide as the intermediates of alkene-ozone reaction have been predicted using high level ab initio quantum mechanical method with various basis sets. In general, the polarization function decreases bond lengths and bond angles, while the electron correlation effect increases bond lengths slightly. The electronic structure of carbonyl oxide has been predicted to be zwitterionic structure and energy difference between zwitterionic and diradical structure is evaluated to be 22.4 kcal/mol at TZ2P CISD level of theory. The experimental vibrational frequencies and IR intensities of POZ and SOZ will be compared and discussed with our high level theoretical predictions.
