چکیده

Mercury condenses at 233 K into the rhombohedral structure with a bond length a = 3.005 Å and an angle of 70.53 . In contrast, zinc and cadmium adopt the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure, but with an anomolous c/a ratio which is far from ideal hcp. Density functional methods fail to describe either of these structures accurately. An application of the method of increments to these metals, including correlation via coupled cluster calculations on finite fragments of the solid, allows the systematic inclusion and comparison of the competing effects that leads to the observed structures.

Ab initio study on the variation of stacking interactions of aniline and hydrated aniline systems

The use of appropriate level of theories for studying weak interactions such as 8-8 stackinginteractions of aromatic molecules has been an important aspect, since the high level methods havelimitations for application to large molecules. The differences in the stacking energies of variousaromatic molecular structures are found significant. It is also very important for identifying the mostfavor...

Investigation of effect of magnetic ordering on structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) using ab initio method

Structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu)  were studied  for each of three magnetic configurations nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic by using density functional theory in generalized gradient approximations (GGA) and strong correlation correction (GGA + U). Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electr...

Theoretical Analysis on the Conformational Features of the HCO—Gly—L—Leu—NH2 Protected Dipeptide Motif: Ab initio and DFT Exploratory

For better understanding of conformational stability of the dipeptide model HCO—Gly—L—Leu—NH2,ab initio and DFT computations at HF/6-31G(4 6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G(d) levels oftheory were carried out. Geometry optimization of the dipeptide within the leucine (Leu) side chainangles (x2 ,x2) resulted in three stable conformations as followings: anti-anti, the most stable one,(Xi = 180°, x2 =...

Conformational analysis of N- and C-terminally protected tripeptide model glycyl-isoleucine-glycyl: An ab initio and DFT study

An ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) study about conformational analysis of tripeptide model HCO−GLY−L−ILE−GLY−NH2 is presented. The tripeptide was scanned about initial, central, and final residues, separately while for every scanning procedure the two other residues had been kept in the β conformation and side chain (SC) dihedral angles were maintained on the gauche− (g‾) state (χ...
