摘要
Optimized geometries and orbital energies of cubane and azacubane are obtained at the ab initio (HF, MP2, CCSD, CCSD-T) and DFT(B3LYP) levels of theory using various basis sets (6-31G**, 6-311G**, 6-311 + + G**, aug-cc-pvdz). The computed C-C and C-H bond distances are in good agreement with the experimental data. The harmonic frequencies are obtained for the above methods except CCSD-T at their respective optimized geometries and the force field and vibrational spectra are analysed. Probable assignments are proposed for all the fundamentals based on the potential energy distribution. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
