โฆ Synopsis
Proton affinities (PA) of 80 neutral bases were calculated using the semiempirical molecular orbital procedure MNDO. These were compared with the corresponding experimental and, where available, ab initio STO-SG and 4-31G data. For the 12 bases studied which led to ions which were not hyperconjugatively stabilized, the mean absolute error between the calculated and experimental values was 7.2 kcal mol-'. However, a plot of these data revealed a clear tendency of MNDO to underestimate the PAS of the more basic molecules. Where hyperconjugative stabilization of the ion was possible, the calculated PAS were underestimated by a further 7-10 kcal mot1 for each attached alkyl group. Calculated and observed methyl-and ethyl-cation affinities were compared for 18 bases with qualitatively similar results.

Basis set expansion and correlation effects on the computed proton afhities of the oxygen and nitrogen bases CH30H, H&O, CO, CH3NHz, CH2NH, and HCN have been evaluated. Basis set enhancements lead to systematic changes in computed proton ainities. These effects appear to be additive, and are greater
