Ab initio electronic structure of HCNÀ and HNCÀ dipole-bound anions and a description of electron loss upon tautomerization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The binding of an excess electron to HCN and HNC was studied at the coupled cluster level of theory with single, double, and noniterative triple excitations and with extended basis sets to accommodate the loosely bound excess electron. The HCN molecule, with a dipole moment of 3.05 Debye, binds an electron by 10 cm, whereas the HNC tautomer possesses a similar dipole moment ~3.08 Debye! and binds the electron by 43 cm. The electronic stability of the anionic system along the minimum energy HCN→HNC tautomerization path has been investigated, and it was concluded that the excess electron autodetaches during the tautomerization. Unusually large electron correlation energy contributions to the total electron binding energy were found and are discussed. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1358863#

Electron binding energies of dipole-bound anions at the coupled cluster level with single, double, and triple excitations: HCNÀ and HNCÀ
The electron binding energies for the weak dipole-bound anions HCN and HNC were found to be 13.2 and 35.7 cm, respectively, at the coupled cluster level of theory with single, double, and triple excitations @CCSDT#. A more approximate approach, in which the triples contribution is treated perturbatively @CCSD~T!#, provides an electron binding energy which is underestimated for HCN by 25% and ov...
متن کاملAb initio electronic structure of thymine anions.
Dipole-bound and valence-bound anions of thymine were characterised by means of state-of-the-art ab initio calculations. The dipole-bound anion of thymine is both vertically and adiabatically stable with adiabatic electron affinity of 51 meV. The valence-bound anion is also adiabatically stable, albeit only marginally. Its vertical stability of 501 meV is, however, higher than that of the dipol...

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...

The electron attachment properties of cyanoacetylene HCCCN are investigated with particular emphasis on the coupling between dipole-bound and valence states. As an initial step both the dipole-bound and the valence state of HCCCN− are studied separately using high level ab initio methods. Predictions for the geometry of the valence anion, the electron binding energy of the dipole-bound state, t...
