The second order effective valence shell Hamiltonian ($H^v$), which is based on quasidegencrate many-body perturbation theory, is applied to determining the potential energy surfaces and the dipole moment functions of the various valence states of $NH_2$. The $H^v$ calculated values are found to be in good agreement with those of other ab initio calculations or experiments. It signifies the fact that the $H^v$ is a good ab initio method to describe the energies and properties of various valence states with a same chemical accuracy. Furthermore, it is shown that the lowest (second order for energy and the first order for property) order $H^v$ method is very accurate for small molecules like $NH_2$ and the matrix elements of Hv which are computed only once are all we need to accurately describe all the valence states simultaneously.

The infrared, Raman, and jet-cooled laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectra of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene have been recorded and analyzed. The observed vibrations have been assigned to understand the conformational behaviors in its electronic ground (S0) and excited (S1) states. Ab initio at the HF/6-31G** level and molecular mechanics (MM3) force field calculations have been carried out to generate the complete normal mode frequencies of the molecule in its S0 state. The vibrational frequencies calculated from the ab initio method show a better agreement with the observed infrared and Raman frequencies than those calculated from the MM3 method. In several cases, the normal mode calculations were very helpful to clarify some ambiguities of previous assignments. In addition, the ring inversion process between two twisted conformers of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene has been reexamined utilizing ab initio calculation. The results show that the ring inversion energy is in the range of 3.7-4.3 kcal/mol which is higher than the previously reported AM1 value of 2.1 kcal/mol.

Ab initio and extended Huckel calculations were carried out on the isomers of trans-RhCl(η2-C2H2)(PH3)2 (1). Due to π-back donation in 1 complex, the rotational energy barrier of alkyne ligand is computed to be in the range of 18.6-25.2 kcal/mol at MP4 levels. The optimized hydrido-alkynyl complex (2) at ab initio level has the distorted trigonal bipyramidal structure. Vinylidene complex (3) is computed to be more stable than 1 complex by 17.1 kcal/mol at MP4//MP2 level. The stabilities of isomers show similar trend at the various level calculations, that is, EHT, MP4//HF, and MP4//MP2 levels. The optimized geometries at ab initio level are in reasonable agreement with experimental data. A detailed account of the bonding in each isomers (1-3) have been carried out in terms of orbital analyses.

The conformations and energies of p-tert-butylcalix[4]crown-6-ether (1) and its alkyl ammonium complexes have been calculated by ab initio HF/6-31G quantum mechanics method. The cone conformation was found to be most stable for free host 1. We hav e determined the binding site of these host-guest complexes focusing on the crown-6-ether or p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene pocket of the cone conformation of host molecule 1. The primary binding site of host 1 for the recognition of alkyl ammonium guests was confirmed to be the central part of the crown moiety of cone conformation. The complexation energy calculations revealed that the ammonium cation without alkyl group showed the highest complexation efficiency when combined with host 1, that is in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.

Hydrogen bihalide anions, $XHX^-$ (X = F, Cl, and Br) have been studied by high level ab initio methods to determine the molecular structure, vibrational frequencies, and energetics of the anions. All bihalide anions are found to be of linear and symmetric structures, and the calculated bond lengths are consistent with experimental data. The harmonic frequencies exhibit large deviations from the experimental frequencies, suggesting the vibrations of these anions are very anharmonic. Two different approaches, the VSCF and VPT2 methods, are employed to calculate the anharmonic frequencies, and the results are compared with the experimental frequencies. While the ${\nu}_1$ and ${\nu}_2$ frequencies are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values, the ${\nu}_3$ and ${\nu}_1+{\nu}_3$ frequencies still exhibit large deviations. The hydrogen-bond energies and enthalpies are calculated at various levels including the W1BD and G4 composite methods. The hydrogen-bond enthalpies calculated are in good agreement with the experimental values.

Ab initio DFT 계산을 통해서 $Si/SiO_2$ 계면의 Band offset을 계산 했다. Si과 $SiO_2$ 각각의 물질을 계산한 결과로 얻은 로컬 퍼텐셜을 기준으로 Valence band와 Conduction band의 band edge의 위치를 결정할 수 있다. 그리고 계면 계산으로 얻은 로컬포텐셜을 이용하여 두물질의 로컬 퍼텐셜의 상대적인 위치를 결정할 수 있고 이를 이용하여 Band offset을 결정 할 수 있었다.

A hexagonal hexamer of water cluster is optimized by ab initio method using the 4-31G basis set. At this geometry the nonadditive many-body interactions are calculated. The ab initio calculation with large basis set [T. H. Dunning, J. Chem. Phys., 53, 2823 (1970); 54, 3958 (1971)] shows that a pentagonal unit is rather stable among several kinds of clustering units of water molecules.

Potential energy surfaces for the proton transfer in a formamide dimer have been obtained by ab initio SCF calculations with STO-3G, 3-21G, and 4-31G basis sets and several features have been discussed. Energy minima for a formamide dimer and its tautomer are varied with basis sets. But the general features of the potential energy surfaces are similar among them.
