, and their anions: Quest for linearity with even versus odd, and beyond

AJC Varandas - International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Using the concept of quasi‐molecule (“tile”) and the database of quasi‐molecules
embedded on a parent molecule, it is discussed whether the latter can attain linear form or …

[HTML][HTML] Scale-free-modeling (harmonic) vibrational frequencies: Assessing accuracy and cost-effectiveness by CBS extrapolation

AJC Varandas - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
Empirical scaling of calculated vibrational harmonic frequencies is a popular approach used
in the field of molecular sciences. A nonempirical scheme that aims at reducing their basis …

Boron and nitrogen cluster families analogous to carbon family: how quasi-molecule theory predicts their planarity or otherwise

AJC Varandas - Molecular Physics, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
Benzene (C 6 H 6) and borazine (B 3 N 3 H 6) are isoelectronic and isostructural. With the
same number of electrons, their different electronic structures are often attributed to the polar …

[HTML][HTML] Linear and cyclic (HCN) n clusters: A DFT study of IR and Raman spectra

DP Freitas, FNN Pansini, AJC Varandas - Chemical Physics Letters, 2023 - Elsevier
The electronic structure, and the IR-and Raman-spectroscopies of (HCN) n clusters are
discussed. DFT is employed in all calculations both in its standard framework and including …

Basis set extrapolation of vibrational frequencies

F Jensen - The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2023 - ACS Publications
We investigate three different approaches for extrapolating harmonic vibrational frequencies
to the complete basis set limit, by direct extrapolation of the frequencies, by calculation of …

On the solvation model and infrared spectroscopy of liquid water

FNN Pansini, AJC Varandas - Chemical Physics Letters, 2022 - Elsevier
The IR spectra of liquid water (in both protonated and deuterated variants) are simulated
with DFT calculations including the dispersion correction. Using a cluster model with up to …
