The molecular geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies of dibenzofuran in the ground and lowest triplet state have been calculated using the Hartree-Fock and Becke-3-Lee-Yang-Parr(B3LYP)density functional methods with the 6-31G basis set. Upon the excitation to the lowest triplet state, the molecular structure retains the planar form but distorts from a benzene-like to a quinone-like form in skeleton. Scaled vibrational frequencies for the ground and lowest triplet state obtained from the B3LYP calculation show excellent agreement with the available experimental data. A few vibrational fundamentals for both states are newly assigned based on the B3LYP results.

금속을 포함한 분자에 대한 양자계산은 정확하고 일관된 결과를 얻기가 힘들 뿐만 아니라 상당한 컴퓨터 자원을 소비하며 많은 시간이 소요된다. 본 연구에서는 복잡한 양자계산의 근사를 위한 방법으로 본래 정성적인 구조 예측에 사용되는 닮은 궤도함수분석(Isolobal Analysis)을 정량적인 측면에서 접근해보고, 이를 통해 닮은 궤도(Isolobal) 구조를 가지고 있는 단위들(radical 등)에 대해서 계산을 근사할 수 있는 방법에 대해 논의한다. $CH_3$, $CH_2$와 닮은 궤도 구조를 가진 전형 원소를 중심으로 하는 분자들에 대해 가장 기초적인 근사계산인 Hartree-Fock 양자계산을 수행하였다. $(CUH_5){_2}^{2-}$를 표적으로 결합 구조를 예측하기 위한 경향성을 계산한 결합 성질로부터 파악한다. 분석 결과 동일한 주기에 대해서는 원자반지름(Atomic radii)에 대해 조화 형태의 결합에너지가 얻어졌으며, 동일한 족에 대해서는 좋은 근사가 되지 않았다. 파악된 경향성을 바탕으로 금속의 결합을 근사한 에너지에 대해서는 -1054.1875 kJ/mol로 비교적 큰 오차를 보였으나, 오차 항에 대한 분석이 가능해 추가적인 계들에 대한 계산으로 근사를 교정할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

When a molecule is perturbed by an external field, the perturbed moecue can be described as a doubly perturbed system. Hartree-Fock operator in the absence of the field is the zeroth order Hamiltonian, and a correlation operator and the external field operator are perturbations. The effective Hamiltonian, which is a projection of the total Hamiltonian onto a small finite subspace (usually a valence space), has been formally derived. The influence of the external field to the molecular Hamiltonian itself has been examined within an effective Hamiltonian framework. The first order effective expectation values, for instance electromagnetic transition amplitudes, between valence states are found to be easily calculated - by simply taking matrix elements of the effective external field operator. Implications of the terms in perturbation expansion are discussed.

Molecular structures of the various conformational stereoisomers of 2,8,14,20-cyanophenyl pyrogallol[4]arenes 1 were optimized using the mPW1PW91 (hybrid Hartree-Fock density functional) calculation method. The total electronic and Gibbs free energies and the normal vibrational frequencies of the different structures from three major conformations (CHAIR, TABLE, and 1,2-Alternate) of the four stereoisomers [1(rccc), 1(rcct), 1(rctt), and 1(rtct)] were analyzed. The mPW1PW91/6-31G(d,p) calculations suggested that $1(rcct)_{1,2-A}$, 1(rctt)CHAIR, and $1(rtct)_{CHAIR}$ were the more stable conformations of the respective stereoisomers. Hydrogen bonding is the primary factor for the relative stabilities of the various conformational isomers, and maximizing the ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction between the cyanophenyl rings is the secondary factor. The calculated IR spectra of the more stable conformers [$1(rctt)_{CHAIR}$, $1(rcct)_{1,2-A}$, $1(rtct)_{CHAIR}$] were compared with the experimental IR spectrum of $1(rtct)_{CHAIR}$.

Using ab initio method, we have studied the structural stabilities, the electronic structures and properties between the two isomers with $C_{2h}$ and $C_{2v}$ symmetry of AlN four-membered-ring single precursors $[Me_2AlNHR]_2$ (R = Me, $^iPr$, and $^iBu$). In the viewpoint of bond lengths in optimized structures, the N-C bonds are considerably affected by the change of the R groups bonded to nitrogen, but the bonding characters of the Al-N and Al-C bonds are little affected. Also the structural stabilities between the two isomers with $C_{2h}$ and $C_{2v}$ symmetry by using Hartree-Fock (HF) and the second order Moeller-Pleset (MP2) calculations agree well with the experimental results for the relative stability of bis(dimethyl- m-isopropylamido-aluminum) (BDPA) and bis(dimethyl- m-t-butylamido-aluminum) (BDBA), while the semiempirical AM1 and PM3 calculations for BDPA were reverse. Thus, our results may aid in designing an optimum precursor for a given process by explaining the experimental results through the elimination of the R groups bonded to nitrogen.

A poly(1-hexyl-3,4-dimethyl-2,5-pyrrolylene) (PHDP) was prepared and its luminescence in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was studied. When PHDP is excited by UV light, it produces very strong blue luminescence. The quantum yield of PHDP (Q = 36.9%) is much greater than that of the monomer, 1-hexyl-3,4-dimethylpyrrole (HDP) with Q = 0.61%. The principal luminescence of PHDP has a single decay component with ca. 1 ns, whereas the decay of HDP is complicated. The molecular structure and conformational behavior of HDP and the oligomers up to trimer have been also determined by ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF/6-31$G^{**}$), density functional theory (DFT-B3LYP/6-31$G^{**}$), and semiempirical (ZINDO) methods. According to the results of calculations, it is proposed that the enhanced quantum yield of the polymer PHDP results mostly from the ${\pi}$-conjugation between neighboring pyrrole rings.

The compound 3-(2-Mercaptopyridine)phthalonitrile has been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-vis, and X-ray single-crystal determination. The molecular geometry from X-ray determination of the title compound in the ground state has been compared using the Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) with the 6-31G(d) basis set. The calculated results show that the DFT and HF can well reproduce the structure of the title compound. The energetic behavior of the title compound in solvent media was examined using the B3LYP method with the 6-31G(d) basis set by applying the Onsager and polarizable continuum model. Using the TD-DFT and TD-HF methods, electronic absorption spectra of the title compound have been predicted and good agreement with the TD-DFT method and the experimental determination was found. The predicted nonlinear optical properties of the title compound are much greater than those of urea. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential of the title compound were investigated by theoretical calculations. The thermodynamic properties of the compound at different temperatures have been calculated and corresponding relations between the properties and temperature have also been obtained.

Trimethylboroxine (TMB) is a six-membered ring compound containing Lewis acidic boron and Lewis basic oxygen atoms that can bind halide anion and alkali metal cation, respectively. We employed Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy to study the gas-phase binding of $LiBrLi^+$ and $F^-(KF)_2$ to TMB. TMB forms association complexes with both $LiBrLi^+$ and $F^-(KF)_2$ at room temperature, providing direct evidence for the ditopic binding. Interestingly, the $TMB{\cdot}F^-(KF)_2$ anion complex is formed 33 times faster than the $TMB{\cdot}Li^+BrLi$ cation complex. To gain insight into the ditopic binding of an ion pair, we examined the structures and energetics of $TMB{\cdot}Li^+$, $TMB{\cdot}F^-$, $TMB{\cdot}LiF$ (the contact ion pair), and $Li^+{\cdot}TMB{\cdot}F^-$ (the separated ion pair) using Hartree-Fock and density functional theory. Theory suggests that $F^-$ binds more strongly to TMB than $Li^+$ and the contact ion-pair binding ($TMB{\cdot}LiF$) is more stable than the separated ion-pair binding ($Li^+{\cdot}TMB{\cdot}F^-$).

Multiscale Simulation은 sub-nano scale의 전자 구조에서부터 macro scale의 multibody system에 이르기까지 다양한 시간/공간 스케일을 관통하는 시뮬레이션 기법이다. 즉, 전자수준에서의 변화로 인한 분자 전체의 구조 변화와 그에 따른 기능의 변화를 알 수 있는 simulation 방법으로 다양한 스케일에서 분자의 정보를 얻을 수 있다는 점에서 최근 중요하게 여겨지는 시뮬레이션 방법 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 몇 가지의 EDISON_CHEM 솔버들을 조합하여 Multiscale Simulation의 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 또한, 세부적으로 양자계산 시에 어떤 이론을 선택하여 계산하면 더 정확한지, basis set 선택 시 발생하는 basis set superposition error(BSSE)로 인한 분자 수준의 물성의 오차는 어느정도 인지 알아보고자 했다. 본 연구에서는 비교적 간단하지만 온실 가스이자 에너지원으로 각광받고 있는 메탄을 대상으로 하였다. 다양한 시공간 스케일을 다루는 에디슨 솔버들 중에 양자 수준의 계산을 할 수 있는 솔버로는 "GAMESS"를 이용했고, 이 결과를 통해 분자 수준의 물성을 알아보기 위한 솔버로는 "사용자 지정 역장을 사용한 일반 분자동력학(general_MD)"과 "두가지 서로 다른 종류의 LJ입자에 대한 분자동력 시뮬레이션 프로그램(sejong_lj))"을 이용했다. 메탄의 상 전이 과정에 대한 연구 결과 Hartree fock (HF) self-consistent theory를 통해 얻은 force field 보다는 Second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) perturbation theory로 얻은 force field가 더 정확한 상 전이 온도를 예측한다는 것을 메탄의 coarse-grained simulation을 통해 알 수 있었다. 또한, MP2 이론으로 구한 force field에서 BSSE를 보정해주면 실험적으로 구한 메탄의 상 전이 온도와 더 근사한 값의 시뮬레이션 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 통해 전자 간의 상호작용을 더 정교하게 계산하는 MP2 이론으로 force field를 구해서 BSSE를 보정해주면 계산의 결과가 정확해진다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 이것이 EDISON_CHEM의 솔버들로 가능하다는 것을 제시하였다.

The geometrical structures of pyridazin-3-one derivatives (4,5-dihalopyridazin-3-one and 4-halo-5- alkoxypyridazin-3-one) with various functional and substituent groups were fully optimized using the ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and second order Moller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) methods. At the N2-, C4-, and C5- positions on the pyridazin-3-one rings, the structural and electronic features pertaining to the variations of the functional and substituent groups were analyzed, respectively. The trends in the variation of the bond lengths, atomic charges, and energetics (relative energy, binding energy) of the derivatives induced by changing the electron donating functional groups (X1 = OMe, OEt) to electron withdrawing groups (X1 = Cl, NO2) were examined. The variations of the bond lengths, atomic charges, and binding energies with the electron withdrawing strength of the substituent groups (Y = Me → F) were also investigated.
