Evaluation of Density Functionals and Basis Sets for Carbohydrates.

Assessment of Various Density Functionals and Basis Sets for the Calculation of Molecular Anharmonic Force Fields

In a previous contribution (Mol. Phys. 103, xxxx, 2005), we established the suitability of density functional theory (DFT) for the calculation of molecular anharmonic force fields. In the present work, we have assessed a wide variety of basis sets and exchange-correlation functionals for harmonic and fundamental frequencies, equilibrium and ground-state rotational constants, and thermodynamic f...

Ab initio study & Density functional investigational of Adenine & Thymine; Comparison of primitive Gaussian and NBO calculation

We have performed quantum-chemical ab initio in various basis sets at the Hartree-Fock andB3LYP levels for Adenine and Thymine with the program GAUSSIAN98. The Dipole,Quadrupole, Octapole and Hexadecapole moments and primitive in nine basis sets for thesemolecules are presented. The most stabilized forms of these molecules are observed in 6-311++G** basis set. We have evaluated coefficient hybr...

A DFT and ab initio benchmarking study of metal-alkane interactions and the activation of carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Density functional theory and ab initio methods have been used to calculate the structures and energies of minima and transition states for the reactions of methane coordinated to a transition metal. The reactions studied are reversible C-H bond activation of the coordinated methane ligand to form a transition metal methyl hydride complex and dissociation of the coordinated methane ligand. The ...

Rationalizing the Strength of Hydrogen-Bonded of Molybdate-Phosphonic acid Complex (1:2): Density Functional Theory Studies

The relative stability of hydrogen-bonded of Molybdate-Phosphonic Acid (MPA) complex (1:2) ingas phase has been carried out using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. The methods are usedfor calculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91 that have been studied in two series of basis sets: D95**and 6-31+G(d,p) for hydrogen and oxygen atoms; LANL2DZ for Mo and Phosphorus.
