β¦ Synopsis
Molecular orbital calculations of sixfold barriers in nitromethane, methyl boron difluoride, and trifluoronitromethane were performed by various HartreeαFock and electron correlation methods. In those calculations, staggered and eclipsed conformations are of primary concern. These results indicated that for CH NO and CH BF the staggered 3 2 3 2 conformations are more stable, while CF NO has a more stable conformation in an 3 2 eclipsed form. Both conformations do not differ significantly, which may account for the low internal rotational barrier of each molecule. Values of the barrier calculated by the MΓΈllerαPlesset perturbation and the quadratic configuration interaction methods did not match the experimental results. However, better internal rotational barrier values of each molecule were observed when the improved better basis sets and the HartreeαFock method were selected.

Two kinds of sixfold internal rotational configurations of toluene, para-fluorotoluene, para-chlorotoluene, and 4-methylpyridine were calculated using Hartree-Fock (HF), second-order MΓΈller-Plesset (MP2), and Beck's three parameter hybrid functional using the LYP correlation functional (B3LYP) theor
The spin-coupled method has been applied to the study of the rotational barriers of dimethylacetamide and of 1-acetyl-1,3,3-trimethylurea-a model compound for polyisocyanates. A significant amount of nitrogen lone-pair stabilization, achieved by delocalization toward the neighboring carbonyls, is sh
The single-rovibronic-level fluorescence of ''intermediate-case'' molecules that undergo methyl internal rotation is strongly influenced by the torsional Ε½ . symmetry of the lowest excited singlet state S . The most dramatic example of such 1 symmetry dependence comes from our recent finding that th

Computational studies of the minimum energy pathway for internal rotation of a methyl group are often made by constraining one dihedral angle at a sequence of values and optimizing all other parameters. When this is done, the methyl group adopts an asymmetric configuration at intermediate values of
