In the present study we search potential of Pt-decorated graphene (PtG) as a new nanostructure adsorbent for nitrous oxide (N2O) using density functional theory (DFT). After fully relaxation of different possible orientations of N2O-PtG complex, we distinguished two optimized configurations for this system; 1- terminal N-side of gas is oriented towards Pt so that the molec...

Interaction of meso — tetrakis (p-sulphonato phenyl) porphyrin (hereafter abbreviated to TSPP)with Na+ has been examined using HF level of theory with 6-31G* basis set. Counterpoise (CP)correction has been used to show the extent of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) on thepotential energy curves. The numbers of Na+ have a significant effect on the calculated potentialenergy curve (includ...

Biochemical studies in Azoarcus sp. strain T have demonstrated that anaerobic oxidation of both toluene and m-xylene is initiated by addition of the aromatic hydrocarbon to fumarate, forming benzylsuccinate and 3-methyl benzylsuccinate, respectively. Partially purified benzylsuccinate synthase was previously shown to catalyze both of these addition reactions. In this study, we identified and se...

MP2/6-31++G** and B3LYP/6-31++G** ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been performed in order to obtain molecular geometries, binding energies and vibrational properties of the C2H2-HF, C2H(CH3)-HF and C2(CH3)2-HF H-bonded complexes. As expected, the more pronounced effects on the structural properties of the isolated molecules due to complexation was verified for the C[triple bond]C ...

We demonstrate how quantum chemical Hartree-Fock (HF) or density functional theory (DFT) optimisations with small basis sets of peptide and water cluster structures are decisively improved if London-dispersion effects, the basis-set-superposition error (BSSE) and other basis-set incompleteness errors are addressed properly. To achieve this better description, we concentrate on three empirical c...

The mechanism of the ozonation of isopropyl alcohol was investigated for the gas and the solution phase using second-order many body perturbation theory and density functional theory (DFT) with the hybrid functional B3LYP and a 6-311++G(3df,3pd) basis set. A careful analysis of calculated energies (considering thermochemical corrections, solvation energies, BSSE corrections, the self-interactio...

Generalized relativistic effective core potential (GRECP) calculations of spectroscopic constants of the HgH molecule ground and low excited states and the HgH+ cation ground state are carried out, with correlation included by the Fock-space relativistic coupled cluster (RCC) method. Basis set superposition errors (BSSE) are estimated and discussed. It is demonstrated that connected triple exci...

the interaction of magnesium hydrate at the phosphate oxygen atom of the pyrimidine nucleotides (cmp,ump,dtmp) were studied at the hartree-fock level theory. we used lanl2dz basis set for mg and 6-31g* basis set for atoms.the basis set superposition error (bsse) begins to converge for used method/basis set. the gauge-invariant atomic orbital (giao) method and the continuous-set-of-gauge-transfo...
