摘要
The methyl cation affinity (MCA; 298 K) of a variety of neutral and anionic bases has been examined computationally with a wide variety of theoretical methods. These include high-level composite procedures such as W1, G3, G3B3, and G2, conventional ab initio methods such as CCSD(T) and MP2, as well as a selection of density functional theory (DFT) methods. Experimental results for a variety of small model systems are well reproduced with practically all these methods, and the performance of DFT based methods are far superior in comparison to their MP2 analogs for these small models. For larger model, systems including motifs frequently encountered in organocatalysts, the performance deteriorates somewhat for DFT methods, while it improves significantly for MP2, rendering the former methods unreliable for common organic bases. Thus, MP2 calculations performed in combination with basis sets such as 6-31+G(2d,p) or larger, appear to offer a practical and reliable approach to compute MCAs of organic bases.
