The performance of correlated ab initio methods and DFT methods was compared for the propagation and chain transfer steps of ethylene polymerization by a model aluminum-amidinate system, [{HC(NH) 2 }AlCH 2 CH 3 ] + . All methods agree that the main chain transfer mechanism is β-hydrogen transfer to

The PM3(tm) semiempirical method was used to show the effect of a second ethylene molecule in the backside position on the frontside ethylene insertion in the Cp 2 ZrO n Pr ϩ ␥-agostic resting state. The same calculations without a companion second ethylene molecule were performed to compare geometr
## Abstract To understand the cation–π interaction in aromatic amino acids and peptides, the binding of M^+^ (where M^+^ = Li^+^, Na^+^, and K^+^) to phenylalanine (Phe) is studied at the best level of density functional theory reported so far. The different modes of M^+^ binding show the same orde
The PM3(tm) semiempirical method has been used to optimize the structures for the reactants and transition states of the first and second ethylene insertion processes into zirconocene catalytic systems. The results obtained for these reactions are compared with calculations published in the literatu
## Abstract Cation‐radicals and dications corresponding to hydrogen atom adducts to N‐terminus‐protonated N~α~‐glycylphenylalanine amide (Gly‐Phe‐NH~2~) are studied by combined density functional theory and Møller‐Plesset perturbational computations (B3‐MP2) as models for electron‐capture dissociat
