We have evaluated the performance of three (TD-)DFT functionals with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set for the reproduction of experimental geometries, vertical ionization potentials, and low excitation energies of a selection of [2.2] and [3.3]paracyclophanes. Ove ...

We present a computational study on the concerted hydrolysis of several classes of N-sulfinylamines of generic formula R-N-S-O, such as the -amines themselves (R-NSO), -hydrazines (R-NH-NSO), -hydrazides (R-CO-NH-NSO) and -amides (R-CO-NSO), as these specie ...

Calculated electron densities from PBE0/6-31+G(d,p) were analyzed with respect to the hydrogen bonding within a nucleic acid base pair and the p-stacking between sets of base pairs. From published X-ray crystallographic data, base pairs were isolated from a ...

The ground-state equilibrium geometries, electronic structures and vertical excitation energies of methyl- and methoxyl-substituted phenol radical cations and phenoxyl radicals have been investigated using time-dependent density-functional theory (namely TD ...
