For a series of simple alkyldisilanes, 3-21G(\*) full gradient geometry optimizations have been performed to yield both structural and conformational energy data which was suitable for calibrating the MM2 force field for disilanes. We have examined several model structures which yielded sufficient i

β¦ 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 3βmethylβ1βbutene is not in agreement with experimental data. In order to reparametrize the C~__sp__~2βC~__sp__~3βC~__sp__~βC~__sp__~3 torsional angle, 3βmethylβ1βbutene and 1βbutene 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 87.58Π and 89.32Π, respectively. The barriers
