T1  - A comparative ab initio study of the Si\(_2\)C\(_4\), Si\(_3\)C\(_3\), Si\(_4\)C\(_2\) clusters
N2  - Various structural possibilities for the Si\(_2\)C\(_4\) and Si\(_4\)C\(_2\) clusters are investigated by employing a basis set of triple-zeta plus polarization quality; electron correlation is generally accounted for by second-order M0ller-Plesset and, in certain instances, by higher-order perturbation (CASPT2) approaches. The building-up principle recently suggested from an analysis of Si\(_3\)C\(_3\) clusters is found to be fully operative for Si\(_2\)C\(_4\) and Si\(_4\)C\(_2\) clusters. A comparison of the structure and stability of various geometrical arrangements in the series C\(_6\) , Si\(_2\)C\(_4\) , Si\(_3\)C\(_3\) , Si\(_4\)C\(_2\), and Si\(_6\) shows that linear and planar structures become rapidly less stable if carbons are replaced by silicons and that the three-dimensional bipyramidal forms become less favorable as soon as silicons are exchanged by carbons in the parent Si\(_6\) structure. The effects can be rationalized in qualitative terms based on differences in silicon and carbon bonding.

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.

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  - Ab initio investigation of the stability of Si\(_3\)C<\(_3\) clusters and their structural and bonding features
N2  - Various structural possibilities for Si\(_3\)C\(_3\) clusters are investigated by ab initio calculations employing basis sets of double- and triple-zeta quality augmented by d polarization functions. Correlation effects are included by a second-order Moeller Piesset perturbation treatment. For the two lowest-lying structures higher-order correlation corrections and multi-reference effects are also included. Bonding features are investigated by two different types of population analyses to obtain insight into the nature of chemical bonding. A total of 17 stationary points were investigated, 14 of which correspond to local minima and three being transition states. The energetically lowest-lying structures are: A "pyramidlike" structure with various multicenter bonds, followed by a es symmetric isomer closely related to the ground state Si6 structure. Planar structures, favoured in small carbon clusters, lie higher in energy and are transition states. The lowest-lying triplet system is found to be the linear nonsymmetric Si - C-C-C-Si -Si structure, which is calculated to lie about 38 kcalfmole above the singlet ground state. A building-up principle based on bonding criteria is suggested for the occurence of the various structural possibilities.
