## Abstract Studies have been carried out on alkyl peroxides with MM3 that have led to a parameter set that allows the calculation of geometries, energies, vibrational frequencies, and heats of formation for alkyl hydroperoxides (Rο£ΏOο£ΏOο£ΏH) and dialkyl peroxides (R~1~ο£ΏOο£ΏOο£ΏR~2~). The results obtained

β¦ Synopsis
The conformat ions of various cyclic peroxides have been determined using a molecular mechanics force field developed by the authors and previously applied to linear peroxides. Comparison of the results with those of experimental and ab initio studies shows that this force field may be employed without correction for cyclic compounds.

A force field has been developed for use in MM2 calculations of geometric and energy data for linear peroxides R1--O-O-R2 and tested in some of them (R1, R2 = H, Me, Et, Pr', But). The field obtained yield results that agree considerably better with experimental and ab initio data than those afford
## Abstract Openβchain aliphatic ketones were studied with the molecular mechanics (MM4) force field. A total of seven compounds were examined. Structures were well fit, including moments of inertia. Rotational barriers, vibrational spectra, and dipole moments were also well fit. The overall root m
The fundamental assumption underlying the MM method is that the positions of the atoms of a molecule, ion, solvate or crystal lattice are determined by forces between pairs of atoms (bonds, van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions), groups of three atoms (valence a
A newly developed acyl halide molecular mechanics MM3 force field can accurately calculate molecular geometry, usually to within experimental error. The new force field can also calculate vibrational frequencies. The acyl halides studied were formyl halides, acetyl halides, propionyl halides, n-buty
## Abstract Molecular mechanics (MM4) calculations on the heats of formation of aldehydes and ketones were carried out for a total of 59 compounds (10 aldehydes and 49 ketones). Optimization of the heat of formation parameters was obtained by a least squares fit to the experimentally known heats of
