β¦ Synopsis
Ab initio molecular orbital (MO) calculations for two series of sulfur-oxygen compounds are reported: the S(IV) system of SOa, H2S03, HSO,, and SO:-, and the S(VI) system of so3, H2S04, HSO;, and SO:-. Geometries about the sulfur atoms were optimized using the STO-3G* basis set; energies at these geometries were computed by the STO-3G and 44-31G basis sets both with and without five Gaussian d orbitals on S. The sulfur-oxygen bond lengths and the angles about the central atoms agree fairly well with experiment. The stabilization energy associated with the addition of the d orbitals was found to be a constant amount per bond (ca. 54 and 28 kcal molee1 in the minimal and extended bases, respectively) in hypervalent compounds. The isomer HSO, was predicted to be more stable than SO2(OH)-, but the reverse was true for HS02(0H) compared to SO(OH)2. The deprotonation energies for the acids and the hydration energies for the oxides also were computed and discussed with reference to experimental data.

Properties of the stationary points on the potential energy surface of the ClHCl and HClz systems have been calculated by several ab initio methods using large basis sets with extensive treatment of electron correlation. The most accurate results are consistent with experimental barrier estimates fo
The method of approximation of the frozen molecular fragment (FMF) we derived has been applied to calculations of proton affinities. Results are in good agreement with experimental data and extended basis set calculations.
