The electronic structure of crystalline silver chloride has been studied with the ab initio Bartree-Fock program CRYSTAL. Pseudopotentials have been used for describing core electrons. The total energy versus lattice parameter curve was calculated in order to optimize the equilibrium geometry and fo

✦ Synopsis
Ab initio self-consistent field (SCF) Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations employing basis sets of double-zeta plus polanzation (dzP) quality are reported for C,,,. The DSh rugby-ball shaped equilibrium geometry, obtained via analytic energy derivatives, is reminiscent of C,, except for a ring of ten carbon atoms that give rise to a central band of five hexagons composed of aromatic C-C bonds. The calculated ionization potential of CT0 (7.6 eV) is in excellent agreement with recent experimental measurements.

Parts of the potential energy surface of endohedral Y@C82 have been studied in a three-dimensional configuration space confined to the spatial degrees of freedom of Y. The optimized position of the endohedral atom is strongly off-center and corresponds to a pyracylene topology with Y located above a
Ab initio self-consistent field (SCF) Hartree-Fock (HF) geometry optimizations employing minimal basis indicate the existence of a single, faceted polyhedral equilibrium structure in the potential energy surface of C24 o and C54 o. These results are in contrast with recent divide-and-conquer density
Ab initio calculations have been carried out on the molecules CH,NCX and CH,XCN (X=0, S and Se). It was found that these molecules all have a bent equilibrium structure. The relatively more rigid CH,XCN molecules can be sufficiently well described by small basis set Hartree-Fock calculations. The ac
