The state-selective photodissociation of methylnitrite CH30NO(So,v) + hv -+ CH30+ NO(t,r,v) is reviewed and the dynamics of the bond-breaking process is analysed in connection with an ab initio S1-potential energy surface of the parent molecule. Experimental and theoretical results reveal an interesting picture of the dissociation path of a polyatomic molecule which decays by vibrational predis...

in this paper,the molecular geometry for three tautomers of uracil and four tautomers of cytosine has been analyzed. vibrational ir spectra of the tautomers were   investigated at hf and b3lyp level using the ab initio 6-31g* and lanl2dz basis sets from the program package gaussian 98 (a.7 public domain version). the physico-chemical and biochemical properties of uracil and cytosine are one of...

structural and magnetic properties of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides (cmp, ump, dtmp, amp, gmp, imp) were studied at different levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory. these calculations were performed at the hartree-fock level and density functional b3lyp methods. geometries were fully optimized by following cs symmetry restrictions. the standard 6-31g** basis set which includes polari...

some of the adamantane properties were calculated in this study. chemical shift, free energy ofsolvation, free energy of cavity formation, henry's law constant, and other properties ofadamantane in dry phase, three solvents and three temperatures have been calculated with abinitio method base on density functional theory (dft) at b3lyp/6-31g, b31yp/6-31g*, b3lyp/6-31+g* and b3lyp/6-31++g** leve...

ab initio calculations were employed to investigate nitrogen inversion as a configuration change that can supply an infinitely useful switchable control mechanism for some complex systems. in this paper, design of a new artificial molecular nanohinge is discussed based on nitrogen inversion in which reciprocating motion of substituent in effect of inversion phenomenon, led to an open–close moti...
