چکیده

Pseudorotation in the pyrrolidine molecule was studied by means of femtosecond degenerate four-wave mixing spectroscopy both in the gas cell at room temperature and under supersonic expansion. The experimental observations were reproduced by a fitted simulation based on a one-dimensional model for pseudorotation. Of the two conformers, axial and equatorial, the latter was found to be stabilized by about 29 +/- 10 cm(-1) relative to the former one. The barrier for pseudorotation was determined to be 220 +/- 20 cm(-1). In addition, quantum chemical calculations of the pseudorotational path of pyrrolidine were performed using the synchronous transit-guided quasi-Newton method at the MP2 and B3LYP levels of theory. Subsequent CCSD(T) calculations yield the energy preference of the equatorial conformer and the barrier for pseudorotation to be 17 and 284 cm(-1), respectively.

Infrared shifts of the water dimer from the fully flexible ab initio HBB2 potential.

We report calculations of the infrared shifts for the water dimer, as obtained from the recent ab initio fully flexible HBB2 potential of Bowman and co-workers. The rovibrational calculations, which formally are 12-dimensional plus overall rotation, were performed within the [6+6]d adiabatic separation which decouples the 'fast' intramolecular modes from the 'slow' intermolecular ones. Apart fr...

Precise ab-initio prediction of terahertz vibrational modes in crystalline systems

We use a combination of experimental THz time-domain spectroscopy and ab-initio density functional perturbative theory to accurately predict the terahertz vibrational spectrum of molecules in the crystalline phase. Our calculations show that distinct vibrational modes found in solid-state materials are best described as phonon modes with strong coupling to the intramolecular degrees of freedom....
