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

✦ Synopsis
The equilibrium geometries of the molecules H,BNCX and HIBXCN (X =0, S, Se) have been calculated using second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory. All of the studied molecules are planar; HzBNCS and H,BNCSe have a linear, all others a bent frame. The potential energy curves of the BNC and BXC in-plane bends for the oxygen and sulphur derivatives were calculated at the MP2/6-31G" level by simultaneously relaxing all other bond lengths and bond angles. This showed that the H,BNCX molecules have a flexible chain. Harmonic vibrational frequencies for the oxygen and sulphur derivatives were also calculated at the MP2 level.

The equilibrium geometries of the germyl pseudohalides CieHJWX and GeH$CN (X=0, S and Se) have been obtained using 6-3 lG\*\*/MP2 calculations. It was found that the -XCN derivatives of germane are strongly bent, whereas their -NCX isomers are quasilinear or linear. The calculated barrier to lineari
HCuCO is studied using a large Gaussian basis set at the coupled cluster singles and doubles level of theory, including a perturbational estimate of the connected triples (CCSD( T) ). In contrast with C&O, HCuCO is linear. The Cu-CO bond in HCuCO is significantly stronger than in CuCO. These differe
