    Journal of Molecular Structure: THEOCHEM Volume 236, Issue 1-2, 1 November 1991, Pages 29-39 Ab initio determination of the equilibrium geometry and vibrational frequencies of borazine (Article) Ramondo, F., Portalone, G., Bencivenni, L. Dipartimento di Chimica, Universitá degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza, P. le A. Moro 5, 00185 RomaItaly View references (20) Abstract The equilibrium structure of borazine, B3N3H6, has been optimized at the HF-SCF level using the 6-31G, 6-31G*, 6-31 + G*, 6-31 + + G**, 6-311G**, DZP and TZP basis sets and at the secondorder Moeller-Plesset perturbation theory, with all orbitals active, with the 6-31G* basis set (MP2/ 6-31G*). The D3h symmetry conformation is established to be, at all the adopted levels of theory, the global minimum of the molecule. The planar structure has been studied employing several basis sets and the effects of basis set extension and of polarization d-functions on the molecular geometry are discussed. The bond distances and the ring angles of borazine determined at the MP2/6-31G* level are, (BN) 1.430 Å, (BH) 1.197 Å, (NH) 1.012 Å, (BNB) 122.9° and (NBN) 117.1°. HF-SCF and MP2/6-31G* vibrational frequencies have been calculated in the harmonic approximation and the vibrational spectrum of borazine is reassigned accordingly. © 199

    Group Electronegativities from Benzene Ring Deformations: A Quantum Chemical Study

    No full text
    We propose a new scale of group electronegativities, derived from benzene ring deformations in Ph-X molecules. A recent analysis of such deformations (Campanelli, A. R.; Domenicano, A.; Ramondo, F. J. Phys. Chem. A 2003, 107, 6429) has shown that two orthogonal linear combinations of the internal ring angles, termed SE and SR, are directly related to the electronegativity and resonance effects of the substituent, respectively. In the present paper, we show that SE increases linearly with the electronegativity of X within each of the first two rows of the periodic table, acting as a sensitive indicator of the polarity of the Ph-X bond. By using SE values from ab initio quantum chemical calculations, we have derived the electronegativities of 100 organic and inorganic groups. Nonbonded interactions with the ortho hydrogens and carbons may fictitiously alter the electronegativity of a group; in most cases, however, they are easily eluded by changing the conformation of the substituent with respect to the benzene ring. Although the atom directly linked to the ring tends to dominate the electronegativity of a group, the role of its adjacent atoms is also important. Their effect depends markedly on the nature of chemical bonding and electron density distribution within the group
