The OSS2 (Oj？me-Shavitt-Singer 2)[L. Oj？me et al., J. Chem. Phys. 109, 5547 (1998)] model for the solvated proton in water is examined for $H_2O,\;H_3O^+,\;H_5O_2^+,\;H_7O_3^+,\;and\;H_9O_4^-$ by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The equilibrium molecular geometries and energies obtained from MD simulations at 5.0 and 298.15 K agree very well with the optimized calculations.

Molecular geometries for the cationic and neutral species of OXO (X=Cl, Br, and I) are optimized using the Hartree-Fock (HF) theory, the second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), the density functional theory with the B3LYP hybrid functional (B3LYP), and the coupled cluster theory using single and double excitation with a perturbational treatment of triplet excitation (CCSD[T]) methods, with two basis sets of triple zeta plus polarization quality. The single point calculations for these species are performed at the CCSD(T,Full) level. The harmonic vibrational frequencies for these species are calculated at the HF, MP2, B3LYP and CCSD(T) levels. The adiabatic ionization potential for OIO is calculated to be 936.7 kJ/mol at the CCSD(T,Full) level and the correct value is estimated to be around 945.4 kJ/mol.

The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and relative energies of H$_2$(A$_{n+1}$X$_{2n}$)H$_2$ (A=C or Si, X=O or S, n = 1-2) oligomers have been investigated using high level ab initio quantum mechanical techniques with large basis sets. The equilibrium geometries have been optimized at the self-consistent field (SCF), the coupled cluster with single and double excitation (CCSD), and the CCSD with connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] levels of theory. The highest level of theory employed in this study is cc-pVTZ CCSD(T). Harmonic vibrational frequencies and IR intensities are also determined at the SCF level of theory with various basis sets and confirm that all the optimized geometries are true minima. Also zero-point vibrational energies have been considered to predict the dimerization and the relative energies.

The nitramine explosives with $-NH_2$ and -F groups were optimized to obtain their molecular geometries and electronic structures at DFT-B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level. The theoretical molecular density (${\rho}$), heat of formation (HOF), detonation velocity ($D$) and detonation pressure ($P$), estimated using Kamlet-Jacobs equations, showed that the detonation properties of these compounds were excellent. Based on the frequencies scaled by 0.96 and the principle of statistic thermodynamics, the thermodynamic properties were evaluated, which were respectively related with the temperature. The simulation results reveal that 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocan-2-amine (molecule B1) performs similarly to the famous explosive HMX, and 2-fluoro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (molecule C1) and 2-fluoro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (molecule D1) outperform HMX. According to the quantitative standard of energetics and stability as an HEDC (high energy density compound), molecules C1 and D1 essentially satisfy this requirement. These results provide basic information for molecular design of novel high energetic density compounds.

A systematic study of the structure, energetics and spectral characteristics of substituted aminoketenes $R(NH_2)$C=C=O (R = H, $CH_3$, $NH_2$, OH, $OCH_3$, CH=$CH_2$, C$\equiv$CH, CN, CHO, NO, $NO_2$) which are highly reactive and transient intermediates in synthesis has been conducted by ab initio calculations at the MP2/6- 31G*//MP2/6-31G* level. Twenty four stable isomers of the eleven substituted aminoketenes having dihedral angles $\phi NH_2\sim120{^{\circ}}$ and $60^{\circ}$ have been identified and their optimized geometries and energies obtained. Electrostatic and steric effects on the molecular geometries have been analyzed. While the $\pi$-acceptor groups lead to planar conformations, the electron-donor groups give rise to non-planar conformations. Isodesmic substituent stabilization energies relative to alkenes have been calculated and correlation with group electronegativities established. Role of induction effect by the substituent groups and resonance effects in charge distribution in the molecules has been analyzed. An analysis of the asymmetric stretching frequencies and intensities of the C=C=O group shows that affect of non-$\pi$ acceptor substituents on the frequency is determined by the field effect (F) and resonance effect (R) parameters, the calculated intensities I (km/mol.) are correlated to group electronegativities $x$ of the substituents by the relationship I = 640.2–100.1 $x$ (r = 0.92). The $\pi$-acceptor substituents increase the intensity which may be explained in terms of their delocalizing effect on the negative charge at the $C_{\beta}$ atom.

The structures, energetics and transfer integrals of the acene tetramers up to pentacene are investigated with the ab initio molecular orbital method at the level of second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). Calculated geometries for the herringbone-style structures found in the crystal structure were characterized as local minima, however the geometrical discrepancy between crystal and MP2 theoretical structure is reasonably small. The binding energy of pentacene tetramer was calculated up to 40 kcal/mol (MP2/6-31G(d)) and about 90 kcal/mol (MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ), and the latter seems to be too much overestimated. The tendency of the hole transfer integrals computed with ab initio MP2/3-21G(d) geometry is well agreement with those estimated with crystal structure with some discrepancy, and the gradual increment of the transfer integrals at the crystal geometry is attributed to mainly packing structure rather than the intrinsic property of acene such as a size of acene.

1,2-와 1,3-dioxetane$(C_2O_2H_4)$, 그리고 1,3-cyclodisiloxane$(Si_2O_2H_4)$에 대하여 높은 이론 수준에서 분자구조, 진동주파수, 그리고 에너지 등을 계산하였다. 위의 모든 분자들에 대하여 TZ2P CCSD(T)의 이론 수준까지 분자구조를 최적화 하였으며. 진동주파수는 여러 basis set에서 SCF 방법으로 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 최적화된 분자구조들에 대한 진동주파수가 모두 실수(real number)로 예측됨으로서, 제안된 모든 분자구조가 local minimum 구조임을 확인하였다. 1,2- 및 1,3-dioxetane들과 cyclodisiloxane이 두 분자의 aldehyde와 silanone으로 해리 될 때의 중합에너지를 zero-point vibrational energy(ZPVE)를 고려하여 계산하고, 안정성을 비교하였다.

가스 하이드레이트 형성원리를 이용한 해수담수화는 이미 상용화된 역삼투 방식에 비하여 아직 실증화 단계이지만 그 공정이 비교적 단순하고 특히 냉매를 객체가스로 사용할 경우 아주 낮은 공정 온도가 필요하지 않아 에너지 소비량(thermal budget)이 향상될 가능성이 있기 때문에 여전히 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수소불화탄소(HFC, hydrofluorocarbon) 및 수소염화불화탄소(HCFC, hydrochlorofluorocarbon) 계열의 냉매들을 객체가스로 한 가스 하이드레이트 형성 거동을 에너지적인 관점에서 해석하고자 하였고 이를 위해 밀도 범함수(DFT, density functional method) 이론을 기반으로 한 분자모델링을 도입하였다. 객체가스(guest gas)로 R-134a, R-227ea, R-236fa, R-141b를 선정하였으며 계산을 위하여 물 분자로 이루어진 $5^{12}$, $5^{12}6^2$, $5^{12}6^4$의 세가지 구조의 동공들(cavities)을 구성하였다. 동공, 객체가스, 그리고 객체가스가 삽입된 동공의 구조를 분자모델링을 이용하여 각각 최적화하였고 계산된 각 구조의 에너지로부터 동공과 객체가스의 결합에너지(binding energy)를 계산하였다. 마지막으로 결합에너지를 비교함으로써 어느 냉매가 가장 유리한 조건에서 가스하이드레이트를 형성할 지를 판단하였다. 결과적으로 R-236fa가 가장 자발적(spontaneous)으로 가스 하이드레이트를 형성할 것으로 예상되었고 사람에 대한 낮은 독성과 물에 대한 작은 용해도 측면에서도 가장 적절한 선택으로 평가되었다.
