TY - JOUR A1 - Suter, H. U. A1 - Huang, M.-B. A1 - Engels, Bernd T1 - A Multireference Configuration Interaction Study of the Hyperfine Structure of the Molecules CCO, CNN and NCN in their triplet ground states N2 - The hyperfine structures of the isoelectronic molecules CCO. CNN, and NCN in their triplet ground states (X\(^3 \sum ^-\)) are investigated by means of ab initio methods. The infrared frequencies and geometries are detennined and compared with experiment. Configuration selected multireference configuration interaction calculations in combination with perturbation theory to correct the wave function (MRD-CI/B\(_K\)) employing extended atomic orbital (AO) basis sets yielded very accurate hyperfine properties. The theoretical values for CCO are in excellent agreement with the experimental values determined by Smith and Weltner [J. Chem. Phys. 62,4592 (1975)]. For CNN, the first assignment of Smith and Weltner for the two nitrogen atoms has to be changed. A qualitative discussion of the electronic structure discloses no simple relation between the structure of the singly occupied orbitals and the measured hyperfine coupling constants. Vibrational effects were found to be of little importance. KW - Organische Chemie Y1 - 1994 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-59108 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Huang, M.-B. A1 - Suter, H. U. A1 - Engels, Bernd T1 - Theoretical Study of the Dimethylamino Radical (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)N and its protonated cation (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)NH\(^+\) N2 - In the present work the dimethylamino radical ( ( CH\(_3\)) \(_2\)N) and its protonated cation ( ( CH\(_3\))\(_2\)NH\(^+\)) are investigated by means of ab initio methods. The geometries of various conformations of both compounds are obtained with UMP2/6ยท31 G** calculations, while the hyperfine structure and its dependence on the geometry is studied using the MRD-Cl/B\(_K\) method. The two molecules are compared to study the inftuence of the protonation on geometry and hyperfine structure. The effects of the rotational barriers on the hyperfine structures of (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)N, (CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\))\(_2\)N and ( (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)CH)\(_2\)N will be discussed.
