T1 - Study of the hyperfine coupling constants of the moleculs NH2, NHD and ND2 N2 - In the present paper we c:alculate tbe magnetic hyperfine couplina constants (hfcc) ai.ID and A11 of the ground states of the isotopes NH2, NHD and ND2 using truncated MR..CI methods. Differences from other theoretical methocls and shortoominp of the truncated Cl approach in calculating tlj10 are studied. Polarization effects wbich detennirae ailo. as weU as a simple model to describe the dipolar hfcc's, are discussed. All results are in. excellent aareement with experimental data. lt is shown that ab initio methods are able to obtain reliable values for otf-diaaonal values of A41 which are difficult to measure experimentaDy.

T1 - Ab initio configuration-interaction studies of the ground state potential energy and hyperfine coupling constants of \(^{35}\)Cl\(_2^-\) N2 - Potential energy and spectroscopic constants for the X\(^2 \sum^+ _\mu\) ground state of a;, were calculated by configuration-interaction (Cl) methods, using large basis sets with polarization and diffuse functions. From these CI wavefunctions, the isotropic (a\(_{iso}\)) and dipolar (A\(_{dip}\)) components of the hyperfine coupling constant were obtained. The effects of various s, p basis sets, polarization and diffuse functions, as well as the influence of reference configurations and configuration selection thresholds were investigated. The best values obtained are 35·31 G for a\(_{iso}\) and 29·440 for A\(_{dip}\)• tobe compared with experimental values of 37 ± 1 G and 32 ± 1 G, respectively. It is shown that the contributions to a1so of the K and L shells are opposite in sign, differing by about 4 G. Upon vibrational averaging, both a\(_{iso}\) and A\(_{dip}\) move towards smaller values as v increases. An adiabatic electron affinity of 2·46eV was obtained for CL\(_2\) , and a vertical electron detachment energy of 3·71 eV for Cl;.

T1 - Theoretical study of the potential energy surface governing the stereochemistry in ClC\(_2\)H\(_4\) reactions N2 - Large-scale multireference configuration interaction calculations in a double·t·type AO basis including polarization functions are carried out for the potential surface of the ClC\(_2\)H\(_4\9 system. The charge distribution for various extreme points of the surface is discussed. The absolute minimum is found for an asymmetric ClC2H4 structure. The symmetrical bridged nuclear conformation is also found to be stable with respect to dissociation into Cl + C\(_2\)H\(_4\)• The activation energy for rotation about the C-C axis is calculated tobe around 18 kJ/mol, which is comparable tothat for the 1,2 migration {around 26 kJ/mol). The stereochemistry is governed by the fact that addition of CI to C\(_2\)H\(_4\) (or dissociation) is a two-step reaction proceeding through a symmetrica1 intermediate. The direct addition pathway possesses a small barrier of about 8 kJ jmol. KW - Organische Chemie Y1 - 1990 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-58851 ER -
