✦ Synopsis


All the possible rotamers of 2-aminoethanol and 2-amino-ethanethiol were fully optimized at the ab initio level using the 6-31G** basis with correlation energy inclusion and zero-point energy evaluation. Thirteen local minima for the former and 14 for the latter compound were found. In both molecules, the gauche'-gauche-gauche' (g' Gg') is the prevailing conformation, but in the sulfurated compound, it is accompanied by relevant percentages of other conformers, owing to the very low A E values. The stability of the g' Gg' accommodation derives mainly from the presence of weak hydrogen bridges (0-H ... N and S-H ... N, respectively). The rotation barriers around the C-C and C -N bonds are higher than those around the C-0 and C-S ones.

The conformational characteristics of allylamine were investigated by the ab initio STO-~G basis set. The results indicate that the molecule exists in a number of stable conformations through rotations about the CC-NH and CC-CN bonds. The TE ( &u~-CCNLP, LP representing lone-pair electrons, and ecli

## Abstract The calculated result obtained with MM2(87) for the rotation of the isopropyl group in 3‐methyl‐1‐butene is not in agreement with experimental data. In order to reparametrize the C~__sp__~2‐C~__sp__~3‐C~__sp__~‐C~__sp__~3 torsional angle, 3‐methyl‐1‐butene and 1‐butene have been studied

The heights of the rotational barriers of the ditelluride bridge in H 2 Te 2 and (CH 3 ) 2 Te 2 have been calculated at the Hartree-Fock level with the 3-21G basis set. The minima in the rotational potential energy functions occur at torsional angles of 87.58Њ and 89.32Њ, respectively. The barriers
