The barrier to axial rotation of a benzene molecule in crystalline benzene has been computed by ab initio methods. A cluster consisting of a central molecule surrounded by its four nearest neighbours was treated at the Hartree-Fock level. Beyond this, the lattice was represented by (potential-derive
The heights of the rotational barn-ers of the diselenide bridge in dimethyl diselenide have been calculated at the Hartree-Fock level with the 3-21G basis set. The minimum in the rotational potential energy function occurs at a torsional angle of 85.64". The bam'ers were determined by complete geome
Many-body perturbation and quadratic configuration interaction calculations with several basis sets are used to estimate the height of the barrier for OH rotation in phenol. Our best estimate of the barrier height is 1076 cm-', about 130 cm-' smaller than the most recent experimental estimates. Dens
