✦ Synopsis
Ab initio SCRF calculations have been carried out for the prototropic tautomerism of 2-thiopyrimidine (2TP) in gas phase and in solution. In the gas phase the thiol tautomer is the more stable species in keeping with the reported IR spectra in isolated matrices. In polar solvents the thione tautomer becomes more stabilized. The calculated tautomerism free energy changes for 2TP in the gas phase, cyclohexene dimethylsulfoxide and water are 8. 165, 5.906, -5.513 and -5.829 kcal/mol, respectively.

## Abstract __Ab initio__ calculations were performed on 2,4‐pyridinediol, 4‐hydroxy‐2‐pyridinone, and 2hydroxy‐4‐pyridinone at the HF/3‐21__G__ level with full geometry optimization. Two conformations of the hydroxyl group were considered for each tautomer. Corrections for polarization functions,
A theoretical study of the changes in the charge distribution of a series of small cations due to the polarization effect of water is presented. The results, which are obtained from high-level ab initio self-consistent reaction field calculations, show the complexity of the solvent effect on the ele
Approximate minimum energy reaction paths have been calculated for two thioketone-enethiol tautomeric systems using an ab initio SCF-MO method. The calculations indicate nearly equal stabilities of the isolated tautomers in both systems and an energy barrier of ca. 85 kcal/mol for their interconvers
Ab initio calculations have been carried out on the molecules CH,NCX and CH,XCN (X=0, S and Se). It was found that these molecules all have a bent equilibrium structure. The relatively more rigid CH,XCN molecules can be sufficiently well described by small basis set Hartree-Fock calculations. The ac
