β¦ Synopsis
this study, an evaluation has been made of the performance of the minimal STO-3G and the extended 4-3 iG basis sets, and of the effect of the rigid monomer r&riction in the calculation of the relative proton affinities of the bases H2C0, CH&HO, and HCOOH. The best agreement between the computed and the experimental relative proton affinities of these bases has been found when the computed proton affnities are determined from the energies of fully optimized structures with the 4-31G basis set It has been concluded that this approach, full geometry optimization of bases and ions with the 4-31G basis set, is required for generally reliable predictions of relative proton affinities. A possiilealtemative approach has been suggested, and found to reproduce the relative proton af<ies of these carbonyl compounds.

Basis set expansion and correlation effects on the computed proton afhities of the oxygen and nitrogen bases CH30H, H&O, CO, CH3NHz, CH2NH, and HCN have been evaluated. Basis set enhancements lead to systematic changes in computed proton ainities. These effects appear to be additive, and are greater

Minimal basis set LCAO SCF calculations on SzN2, (SN)z, and (SN)3 have been carried out. A number of electronic configurations for each species were investigated. Triplet states of SzNz and <SN)= and a quartet state of (SN)3 were found to be lowest in energy at rhis level of calculation. The S2N2 mo
