The hydrogen maleate ion was studied by ab initio methods with complete optimization at the 3-21G, 6-31G, 6-31G**, and 6-31+G(2d,1p) levels. To study the influence of electron correlation, MP2 calculations have been done for the 6-31G** geometry. All calculations at the HF level predicted an asymmetric hydrogen bond with a double minimum potential governing transfer between the two equivalent structures. Moreover, both asymmetry and proton transfer barrier increase systematically with the power of the basis set used, with calculated barrier heights of 0.12 (3-21G), 1.59 (6-31G), 1.64 (6-31G**), and 2.00 kcal/mol (6-31+G). Only the introduction of the electron correlation at the MP2 level seems to predict a single minimum potential.

The mechanisms of the reactions of CH (X2II) with NH3, H2O, and HF have been studied by means of ab initio molecular orbital calculations incorporating electron correlation with Møller–Plesset perturbation theory up to the second order. For each of the three CH reactions, the insertion path has been found in the potential energy surface; in the calculated insertion path there exists an intermediate complex prior to the transition state that has a lower energy than the reactants. Energetic results indicate that insertion paths are favourable channels for these CH reactions, which is in line with proposals based on kinetic experiments. Key words: CH radical, ammonia, water, hydrogen fluoride, reaction mechanism.

IThe 35Cl nuclear quadrupole resonances (77 K) and ab initio calculations of trichloromethyldichlorophosphine () show that it exists in the chess conformation form. The barrier to internal rotation about the P-C bond in I at the RHF/6-31++ G(d,p) level equals to 38.1 kJ mol-1. In chloromethyldichlorophosphine (II) the extension of the basis set up to the RHF/6-311++G(df, pd) level does not improve the description of the most preferable gauche-conformation; only if electron correlation (at the MP2 level) is taken into account the results are in a good agreement with experimental data.
