Torsional potential of biphenyl : ab initio calculations with the dunning correlation consisted basis sets

TL;DR: In this article, the internal rotational barrier heights of biphenyl were calculated with the Dunning correlation consisted basis sets (up to cc-pVQZ, 960 basis functions) and the electron correlation correction by the second order Mo/ller-Plesset method (MP2).
Journal ArticleDOI

Torsional barrier, ionization potential, and electron affinity of biphenyl—A theoretical study

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and torsional barriers at 0° and 90° for biphenyl were studied by both ab initio and density functional methods by using various levels of theory with different basis sets.

Refined ab initio 6‐31G split‐valence basis set optimization of the molecular structures of biphenyl in twisted, planar, and perpendicular conformations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors improved full ab initio optimizations of the molecular structure of biphenyl in twisted minimum energy, coplanar, and perpendicular conformations by use of Poles's GAUSSIAN 82 program.

A new indo-type procedure for conjugated non-rigid molecules. I. Ground-state conformations and barriers to internal rotation

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical all-valence-electron (SVEE) method is proposed for describing both ground and excited-state properties of large conjugated molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

General trends in the molecular physics of azabiphenyls

TL;DR: In this article, the results obtained have been analyzed in terms of conjugative and steric interactions by means of fragment analysis and simple thumb-rules have been suggested, which may prove useful for a better understanding of polyphenyl-like molecules.

Approximate Self‐Consistent Molecular Orbital Theory. III. CNDO Results for AB2 and AB3 Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors modified the self-consistent molecular orbital theory with complete neglect of differential overlap (CNDO) presented in earlier papers and applied it to symmetrical triatomic (AB2) and tetratomic (AB3) molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Average structures of butadiene, acrolein, and glyoxal determined by gas electron diffraction and spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the electron diffraction intensities obtained in the present study and the rotational constants for several isotopic species reported in the literature have been analyzed by a least-squares method which combines them as joint observables.

Localized bond orbitals and the correlation problem

TL;DR: In this article, a method for computing electronic molecular energy up to the third-order in perturbation theory using fully localized bond orbitals with zero differential overlap between them is presented.
