✦ Synopsis
A density functional theory study of Au, Au , Au , and Au is 2 3 4 performed focusing on the study of gold tips or contacts of interest in investigations of molecular-scale electronics. The ground state for the four systems corresponds to the one with the lowest multiplicity, and the ordering of energies follows the multiplicity in all cases. It is found that the tetrahedral geometry of Au is not the preferred one for the 4 lowest spin states with neutral charge, but is the preferred one for charged systems. The ionization potential and electron affinities for the four systems were also obtained. A Ž . qualitative interpretation of the Kohn᎐Sham highest occupied molecular orbital HOMO Ž . and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital LUMO orbitals is given based on the present calculations.

The tetrahedral structure of the lowest triplet state of the WF complex 4 Ž . was examined using different variants of the density functional theory DFT and conventional ab initio methods. The low-level, conventional, ab initio methods, such as SCF, MP2, MP3, and CISD, predict the tetrahedral struct
## Abstract Peptoids, oligomers of __N__‐substituted glycine, have been valuable targets for study and diverse application as peptidomimetics and as nanomaterials. Their conformational heterogeneity has made the study of peptoid structures using high‐resolution analyses challenging, limiting our un
