Anharmonic force fields from analytic CCSD(T) second derivatives: HOF and F2O
1999
The recent implementation of analytic second derivatives for CCSD(T) (coupled cluster theory with single and double excitations augmented by a perturbational treatment of connected triple excitations) has been combined with a numerical finite difference procedure to calculate cubic and semidiagonal quartic force fields. Computational details of this approach are outlined. Applications are reported for HOF and F2O. The CCSD(T) results are in excellent agreement with experiment and represent a substantial improvement over the results obtained from MP2 (Mo/ller–Plesset second-order perturbation theory).
Theoretical prediction of nuclear magnetic shieldings and indirect spin-spin coupling constants in 1,1-, cis-, and trans-1,2-difluoroethylenes.
2014
A theoretical prediction of nuclear magnetic shieldings and indirect spin-spin coupling constants in 1,1-, cis- and trans-1,2-difluoroethylenes is reported. The results obtained using density functional theory (DFT) combined with large basis sets and gauge-independent atomic orbital calculations were critically compared with experiment and conventional, higher level correlated electronic structure methods. Accurate structural, vibrational, and NMR parameters of difluoroethylenes were obtained using several density functionals combined with dedicated basis sets. B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2pd) optimized structures of difluoroethylenes closely reproduced experimental geometries and earlier reported b…
Nuclear Spins of the IsomersHg191m−185mDetermined by On-Line Quantum-Beat Spectroscopy
1979
The nuclear spins of the very neutron-deficient $^{191m\ensuremath{-}185m}\mathrm{Hg}$ isomers were measured on line at the mass separator ISO LIDE at CERN using pulsed-laser excitation and observation of the time-resolved quantum beats from selected hyperfine-structure states. The spins of these isomers are with $I=\frac{13}{2}$ equal to those of the long-lived isomers $^{199m\ensuremath{-}193m}\mathrm{Hg}$ already known. The persistence of this spin value for eight isomers is explained by the model of rotation-aligned coupling.
Relativistic DFT Calculation of (119)Sn Chemical Shifts and Coupling Constants in Tin Compounds.
2006
The nuclear shielding and spin-spin coupling constants of (119)Sn in stannane, tetramethylstannane, methyltin halides Me4-nSnXn (X = Cl, Br, I; n = 1-3), tin halides, and some stannyl cations have been investigated computationally by DFT methods and Slater all-electron basis sets, including relativistic effects by means of the zeroth order regular approximation (ZORA) method up to spin-orbit coupling. Calculated (119)Sn chemical shifts generally correlate well with experimental values, except when several heavy halogen atoms, especially iodine, are bound to tin. In such cases, calculated chemical shifts are almost constant at the scalar (spin-free) ZORA level; only at the spin-orbit level i…
Classes of Colors and Timbres: A Clustering Approach
2022
Similarities between different sensory dimensions can be addressed considering common “movements” as causes, and emotional responses as effects. An imaginary movement toward the “dark” produces “dark sounds” and “dark colors,” or, toward the “bright,” “brighter colors” and “brighter sounds.” Following this line of research, we draw upon the confluence of mathematics and cognition, extending to colors and timbres the gestural similarity conjecture, a development of the mathematical theory of musical gestures. Visual “gestures” are seen here as paths in the space of colors, compared with paths in the space of orchestral timbres. We present an approach based on clustering algorithm to evaluate…
What Is the Limit of Atom Encapsulation for Icosahedral Carboranes?
2015
The stability of endohedral carboranes X@{1,n-C2B10H12} (X = Li(+), Be(2+); n = 2, 7, 12) and X@{CB11H12(-)} (X = Li(+), Be(2+)) is studied using electronic structure calculations with the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) model. Our calculations suggest that all endohedral compounds are local energy minima; for the exohedral complexes X···cage, the global energy minimum always corresponds to the X atom above a triangular face of the icosahedron. In the latter the X atom is furthest apart from the carbon atoms of the cage. As opposite to exohedral {Be(2+)···cage} complexes, no global energy minima were found for exohedral complexes {Li(+)···cage} whereby a carbon atom is present in the triangular face of …

Ab initio determination of the ionization potentials of DNA and RNA nucleobases
2006
Quantum chemical high level ab initio coupled-cluster and multiconfigurational perturbation methods have been used to compute vertical and adiabatic ionization potentials of the five canonical DNA and RNA nucleobases: uracil, thymine, cytosine, adenine, and guanine. Several states of their cations have been also calculated. The present results represent a systematic compendium of these magnitudes, establishing theoretical reference values at a level not reported before, calibrating computational strategies, and guiding the assignment of the features in the experimental photoelectron spectra.

Cholesky decomposition-based definition of atomic subsystems in electronic structure calculations
2010
Decomposing the Hartree-Fock one-electron density matrix and a virtual pseudodensity matrix, we obtain an orthogonal set of normalized molecular orbitals with local character to be used in post-Hartree-Fock calculations. The applicability of the procedure is illustrated by calculating CCSD(T) energies and CCSD molecular properties in reduced active spaces. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
