[PMID: 34075533 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-021-04807-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
In the present study, the performance of a set of density functionals: BP86, PBE, OLYP, BEEF, PBEpow, TPSS, SCAN, PBEGXPBE, M06L, MN15L, B3LYP, PBE0, mPW1PW, B97, BHandHLYP, mPW1PW, B98, TPSS0, PBE1KCIS, SCAN0, M06, M06-2X, MN15, CAM-B3LYP, ωB97x, B2PLYP, and the B3LYP/N07D and PBE/N07D schemes in the calculation of the 14N anisotropic hyperfine coupling (HFC) constants of a set of 23 nitroxide radicals is evaluated. The results are compared with those obtained with the DLPNO-CCSD method and experimental HFC values. Harmonic contribution to the 14N HFC vibrational correction was calculated at the revPBE0/def2-TZVPP level and included in the evaluation. With the vibrational correction, the DLPNO-CCSD method yielded HFC values in good agreement with the experiment (mean absolute deviation (MAD) = 0.3 G for the dipole-dipole contribution and MAD = 0.8 G for the contact coupling contribution). The best DFT results are obtained using the M06 functional with MAD = 0.2 G for the dipole-dipole contribution and MAD = 0.7 G for the contact coupling contribution. In general, vibrational correction significantly improved most DFT functionals' performance but did not change its overall ranking.

Abstract
A computational strategy that combines both time-dependent and time-independent approaches is exploited to accurately model molecular dynamics and solvent effects on the isotropic hyperfine coupling constants of the DMPO-H nitroxide. Our recent general force field for nitroxides derived from AMBER ff99SB is further extended to systems involving hydrogen atoms in β-positions with respect to NO-moiety. The resulting force-field has been employed in a series of classical molecular dynamics simulations, comparing the computed EPR parameters from selected molecular configurations to the corresponding experimental data in different solvents. The effect of vibrational averaging on the spectroscopic parameters is also taken into account, by second-order vibrational perturbation theory involving semidiagonal third energy derivatives together first and second property derivatives.

Abstract
In the present paper, we investigate the molecular structure and hyperfine couplings of a series of σ radicals containing first- and second-row atoms (H(2)CN,H(2)CP,NH(2),PH(2)) for which accurate gas-phase microwave results are available. The presence of α- and, especially, β-hydrogen atoms makes the evaluation of magnetic properties of these radicals particularly challenging. Geometrical parameters have been computed by the coupled-cluster ansatz in conjunction with hierarchical series of basis sets, thus accounting for extrapolation to the complete basis-set limit. Core correlation as well as higher excitations in the electronic-correlation treatment have also been taken into account. An analogous approach has been employed for evaluating hyperfine coupling constants with particular emphasis given to basis-set, correlation, and geometrical effects. The corresponding vibrational corrections, required for a meaningful comparison to experimental data, have also been investigated. The remarkable agreement with experiment confirms the reliability of the present computational approach, already validated for π radicals, thus establishing the way for setting up a benchmark database for magnetic properties.

Abstract
The present work addresses isotropic hyperfine coupling constants in polyatomic systems with a particular emphasis on a largely neglected, but a posteriori significant, effect, namely zero-point vibrational corrections. Using the density functional restricted-unrestricted approach, the zero-point vibrational corrections are evaluated for the allyl radical and four of its derivatives. In addition for establishing the numerical size of the zero-point vibrational corrections to the isotropic hyperfine coupling constants, we present simple guidelines useful for identifying hydrogens for which such corrections are significant. Based on our findings, we critically re-examine the computational procedures used for the determination of hyperfine coupling constants in general as well as the practice of using experimental hyperfine coupling constants as reference data when benchmarking and optimizing exchange-correlation functionals and basis sets for such calculations.

Abstract
The stability of X(2)NO radicals has been studied by investigating the three possible dissociative channels, namely X+XNO, X(2)+NO, and NX(2)+O. While all the radicals have been found stable with respect to the latter, the second pathway shows that Br(2)NO and I(2)NO are unstable with respect to dissociation. The first dissociative channel has been thoroughly investigated with the aim of understanding whether F(2)NO and Cl(2)NO are stable and how much. This implied the molecular structures and energies of X(2)NO and XNO, with X = F, Cl, to be computed at high level of theory. The coupled cluster ansatz in conjunction with hierarchical series of basis sets has been employed, thus accounting for extrapolation to the complete basis-set limit. Core correlation as well as higher excitations in the electronic-correlation treatment have also been taken into account. It is particularly noteworthy that explicit inclusion of quadruple excitations allowed to obtain for the first time equilibrium geometries of FNO and ClNO in full quantitative agreement with their experimental counterparts.
