Nowadays NMR spectroscopy becomes a powerful tool in chemistry because of the NMR chemical shifts. Hartree–Fock theory and the Gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) methods are used in the calculation of 29Si NMR chemical shifts of various silicate species in the silicate solution as initial components for zeolite synthesis both in gas and solution phase. Calculations have been performed at geo...

Projection-based embedding provides a simple and numerically robust framework for multiscale wavefunction-in-density-functional-theory (WF-in-DFT) calculations. The approach works well when the approximate DFT is sufficiently accurate to describe the energetics of the low-level subsystem and the coupling between subsystems. It is also necessary that the low-level DFT produces a qualitatively re...

Ab initio molecular R-matrix calculations are presented for collisions of low-energy positrons with the hydrogen fluoride molecule as a function of HF internuclear separation. Calculations presented are for Z total symmetry with and without polarization eA'ects. These calculations mirror recent electron-HF scattering calculations by Morgan and Burke. Strong evidence is obtained for the presence...

ab initio calculations at hf/6-31g* level of theory for geometry optimization and mp2/6-31g*//hf/6-31g*for total energy calculation are reported for z-cyclooctene (1). the most favorable conformation of 1 is theunsymmetric boat-chair (1-bc) geometry. potential energy profiles for two different boat-chair/boat-chairinterconversion processes were calculated. the process via a chair transition sta...

in this paper, the hydrogen bonding (hb) effects on the nmr chemical shifts of selected atoms in serineand serine-nh2o complexes (from one to ten water molecules) have been investigated with quantummechanical calculations of the 15n and 13c tensors. interaction with water molecules causes importantchanges in geometry and electronic structure of serine.for the compound studied, the most importan...

Bound energy levels and properties of the Cl(2P)-HF complex were obtained from full three-dimensional (3D) calculations, with the use of the ab initio computed diabatic potential surfaces from the preceding paper and the inclusion of spin-orbit coupling. For a better understanding of the dynamics of this complex we also computed a 2D model in which the HF bond length r was frozen at the vibrati...

The Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations in coordinate representation are solved exactly, i.e., with correct asymptotic boundary conditions for the continuous spectrum. The calculations are performed with effective Skyrme interactions. The exact HFB solutions are compared with HFB calculations based on box boundary conditions and with resonant continuum Hartree-Fock-BCS (HF-BCS) results. The...

Photodetachment spectroscopy of the FH2(-) and FD2(-) anions allows for the direct observation of reactive resonances in the benchmark reaction F + H2 → HF + H. Using cooled anion precursors and a high-resolution electron spectrometer, we observe several narrow peaks not seen in previous experiments. Theoretical calculations, based on a highly accurate F + H2 potential energy surface, convincin...

A selective etching phenomenon on {001} faceted anatase TiO(2) single crystal surfaces by HF and associated etching mechanism are reported. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that HF stabilizes the grown {001} facets at low concentrations, but selectively destroys the grown {001} facets at high concentrations.
