Molecular orbital calculations at the ab initio, AM1, and PM3 levels have been carried out to investigate the lactam-lactim tautomerism of 1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5- dione(1) and 1,3,4-oxa(or thia)diazolidine-2,5-dione(2, 3). Most stable tautomer in 1 compound has been calculated to be a dilactam 1a and next one is lactam-lactim 1b. The relative energies between 1a and 1b are 4.1~12.6 kcal/mol depending on computational methods. The optimized 1a structure at ab initio level is in good agreement with X-ray structure. While the stabilities of 2 tautomers are in order of 2a>2b>2c, the stabilities of 3 tautomers are dependent on methods. According to 3-21G basis set, 3a tautomer is more stable by 4.9 kcal/mol over 3b tautomer. In contrast, the heat of formation of 3a at AM1 is higher by 2.71 kcal/mol than 3b.

Ab initio quantum chemical molecular orbital calculations have been performed for the unimolecular decomposition of methacrylonitrile ($CH_3C(CN)=CH_2$), especially for HCN and $H_2$ molecular elimination channels. Structures and energies of the reactants, products, and relevant species along the individual reaction pathways were determined by MP2 gradient optimization and MP4 single point energy calculations. Direct four-center elimination of HCN and three-center elimination of H2 channels were identified. In addition, H or CN migration followed by HCN or H2 elimination channels via the methylcyanoethylidene intermediate was also identified. Unlike the case of crotonitrile previously studied, in which the dominant decomposition process was the direct three-center elimination of HCN, the most important reaction pathway should be the direct threecenter elimination of $H_2$ in the case of methacrylonitrile.

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.

In this study we have performed ab initio computer simulations to investigate the conformational characteristics of the tetraethyl (1) and triethyl ester (2) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene. The structures of different conformational isomers for each compound have been optimized using ab initio RHF/6-31G methods. After optimization, B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) single point calculations of the final structures are done to include the effect of electron correlation and the basis set with diffuse function and polarization function. Relative stability of tetraethyl ester (1) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene is in following order: cone (most stable) > partial cone > 1,3- alternate > 1,2-alternate isomer. Relative stability of triethyl ester (2) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene is in following order: cone (most stable) > 2-partial cone > 1-partial cone > 3-partial cone ~ 1,3-alternate ~ 1,2- alternate isomer.

Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of the thiazole, relevant to the binding of lexitroposin that contains thiazole ring to the base pair of minor groove of DNA is obtained from the results of ab initio calculation. The geometry optimization for the two possible conformations of protonated thiazoles is performed with the aid of MNDO and ab initio calculations. The proton affinities are calculated at the 6-31G and 6-31G basis set for the optimized geometry. The proton affinities are also studied for various substituted thiazoles with the electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups to estimate substituent effect on the proton affinity of thiazoles. It is found that the thiazole with nitrogen atom aligned inward to the DNA minor groove exhibit higher proton affinity and electron-donating substituents increase the proton affinity of thiazoles.ĀȀꃏ?⨀缾ĀȀ會ĀȀ?⨀ꖓĀĀȀ會ĀȀ僐?⨀聥ꖓĀĀȀ會ĀȀ꣐?⨀聐缾ĀȀ會ĀȀÑ?⨀ၑ缾ĀȀ會ĀȀ壑?⨀ꁑ缾ᨀĀꀏ會Āꀏ냑?⨀⡒缾᐀Āꀏ會Āꀏ࣒?⨀끒缾ᰀĀꀏ會Āꀏ惒?⨀ꁩꖓȀĀꀏ會Āꀏ룒?⨀⡪ꖓሀĀꀏ會Āꀏდ?⨀ᤐ돀삺?⨀塨?⨀飣?⨀돐룣?⨀偠잖⨀샣?⨀줏덐탣?⨀젏ꠏܞ

We report that the novel covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are capable of reversibly providing an extremely high uptake capacity of carbon dioxide and hydrogen at room temperature. These COFs are designed based on the multiscale simulations approach via the combination of ab initio calculations and force-field calculations. For this goal, we explore the adsorption sites of carbon dioxide and hydrogen on COFs, their porosity, as well as carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms. We identify the binding sites and energies of $CO_2$ on COFs using ab initio calculations and obtain the carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms using grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo calculations. Moreover, the calculated adsorption isotherms are compared with the experimental values in order to build the reference model in describing the interactions between the $CO_2/H_2$ and the COFs and in predicting the $CO_2$ and $H_2$ adsorption isotherms of COFs. Finally, we design three new COFs, 2D COF-05, 3D COF-05 (ctn), and 3D COF-05 (bor), for the high capacity $CO_2/H_2$ and $H_2$ storage.

The pairing properties of electronic structure are investigated from ab initioists' point of view. Numerical results of exact ab initio effective valence shell Hamiltonian are compared with simple semiempirical Hamiltonian calculations. In the oxygen atom case it was found that effective three-electron interaction terms break the similarity between electron-states and hole-states. With the trans-butadiene as an example the pairing theorem was studied. Even for alternant hydrocarbons, the deviation from the pairing was found to be enormous. The pairing theorem, which is usually stated for semiempirical Hamiltonians, is not valid when the exact effective Hamiltonian is considered. The present study indicates that comparisons between the pairing theorem of semiempirical methods and ab initio effective Hamiltonian give important information on the accuracy of semiempirical methods.

Ab initio and extended Huckel calculations have been applied to discuss the electronic structure, ring inversion barrier, and geometry of the $Cp_2TiS_3$ compound. The deformation of four membered ring in the planar geometry is originated from a second-order Jahn-Teller distortion due to the small energy gap between HOMO and LUMO on the basis of extended Huckel calculations. The puckered $C_s$ geometry is stabilized by the interaction of the $x^2-y^2$ metal orbital with the hybrid orbital in sulfur. Ab initio calculations have been carried out to explore the ring inversion process for the model $Cl_2TiS_3$ compound. We have optimized $C_s$ and $C_{2v}$ structures of the model compound at the RHF level. The energy barriers for the ring inversion are sensitive to the used basis set. With 4-31$G^*$ for the Cl and S ligands, the barriers are computed to be 8.41 kcal/mol at MP2 and 8.02 kcal/mol at MP4 level.
