Abstract

Because of the great sensitivity of IR intensities of acetonitrile to the molecular environment, it should be possible to deduce information about the structure of liquid acetonitrile from measured IR spectra, provided the relationships between spectral characteristics and molecular environment are known. For this purpose, the IR spectra of linear, cyclic and antiparallel clusters are simulated: the results obtained match best the liquid phase spectrum for the cyclic trimer, and also for the antiparallel clusters, despite a residual discrepancy attributed to the inability of the model to mimic the liquid.

Non-covalent interactions in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) clusters and DFT benchmarking
2022, Journal of Molecular Liquids

In addition, the DMSO clusters is important for the theoretical study of processes taking place in DMSO such as solvation processes [5–8]. Despite the importance of the DMSO clusters, their investigations have received much less attention in comparison to other weakly bonded systems such as acetonitrile clusters [9–13]. It comes out from the literature review that theoretical investigations on the structures of the DMSO clusters are very rare.
Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is one of the most used solvents in industries and in Chemistry. Understanding the dynamics of the solvent is subjected to the understanding of interactions in DMSO clusters. Despite its importance, a very few studies have been reported on DMSO clusters. In this work, we have explored thoroughly the potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the DMSO clusters from dimer to tetramer at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. In order to understand the non-covalent interactions in DMSO clusters, we have performed a quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis. The QTAIM analysis showed that there are eight different types of non-covalent interactions stabilizing the DMSO clusters. The CH $\dots$ O hydrogen bonding and H $\dots$ H bonding are found to be the strongest and the weakest non-covalent interactions in DMSO clusters, respectively. In addition, we have reported the temperature-dependent isomer distribution of all the investigated clusters for temperatures ranging from 50 to 500 K. To allow affordable investigations of medium and large sized DMSO clusters in future investigations, we have assessed the performance of ten functionals of the density functional theory (DFT) in calculating the binding energies of the DMSO clusters. The ten DFT functionals (M05, M05-2X, M06, M06-2X, M08HX, PBE0, $ω$ B97XD, PW6B95D3, APFD and MN15) have been benchmarked to MP2/CBS and DLPNO-CCSD(T)/CBS. The functionals PW6B95D3 and $ω$ B97XD are recommended for further affordable investigations of the DMSO clusters.
Chemical changes induced during heating of acetonitrile-rich ice pre-irradiated by X-rays and its implication in astrochemistry
2022, Spectrochimica Acta - Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy
In this work, we investigate the effects induced by the heating of acetonitrile-rich ice from 13 K to 350 K. Before the heating, the sample was irradiated at 13 K by broadband X-rays (6 eV to 2 keV), which trigger the production of new molecules, such as HCN, H₂CCNH, CH₄ and CH₃NC (see Carvalho and Pilling, 2020) and also induced desorption of frozen species to gas-phase. New spectra were collected during heating to investigate whether new species, not present before at lower temperatures, appear due to thermal processing. New infrared bands were identified at temperatures around 120 K and 300 K, from which it was possible to notice the possible presence of HCN/CN radical, ammonia and C₂N₂. It was also verified that acetonitrile has a thermal desorption peak between 120 K and 200 K, which yields to the vanishing of acetonitrile within the sample for temperatures of 200 K and above. Some infrared features assigned before solely to acetonitrile remain for sample temperatures $> 200$ K, which indicates the presence of blended species with similar infrared features. From analyzing those blended peaks, we also perceived the possible presence of aminoacetonitrile.
Intermolecular interactions and cooperative effects in acetonitrile clusters. An ab initio molecular orbital study
2000, Journal of Molecular Structure: THEOCHEM

We chose to use as starting geometries those reported in previous studies [4,10,12], where several minima have been proposed for complexes formed by two, three, and four acetonitrile molecules, employing intermolecular potential functions of different accuracy. In most studies [4,5,9,10,12,14], one minimum was reported for the acetonitrile dimer corresponding to a C2h structure, whereas up to four different structures were identified as minima of the acetonitrile trimer; for the tetramer two structures with zero dipole moment seem to be the most attractive minima of the potential surface. A proper description of the interaction in molecular clusters requires a quite flexible basis set but, usually, the size of the systems under study does not allow one to use a large basis set.
Ab initio calculations were performed on clusters of acetonitrile molecules employing the HF, DFT/B3LYP and MP2 methods with the 6-31+G* basis set. Several minima were observed and their interaction energies were calculated using the counterpoise method to avoid basis set superposition error. Single point calculations were performed with the 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set as well as with the MP4 method. All methods provide similar results, but HF and DFT/B3LYP give smaller interaction energies and larger intermolecular distances than MP2. The dimer presents a minimum corresponding to an antiparallel arrangement with an interaction energy of −4.9 kcal/mol at the MP2/6-31+G* level (−5.8 kcal/mol with the 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set). Two minima were observed for the trimer. The global minimum is a cyclic structure with an interaction energy of −9.9 kcal/mol, about 1 kcal/mol more stable than the other structure. A significant shortening of intermolecular distances is appreciated for the global minimum compared to the values obtained for the dimer; also, cooperative effects amount to 10% of the total interaction energy for this structure. For the other minimum neither shortening nor significant contribution of cooperative effects was observed. Acetonitrile tetramer shows similar features as those found for the trimer. Two minima were observed with interaction energies of about −12 kcal/mol in which molecules are arranged by pairs in an antiparallel manner giving zero dipole moment.
Calculation of structures and vibrational spectra of acetonitrile clusters
1998, Chemical Physics
The minimum energy structures of acetonitrile clusters from n=2 to n=13 have been calculated using a total cluster potential which is composed from a semi-empirical intermolecular potential in combination with the intramolecular force field. Based on these results the frequency shifts of the CC stretch and the CH₃ wag modes are calculated and compared with recent measurements of size selected free clusters and clusters embedded in large helium droplets. The calculations reproduce the coarse structure of the measurements and thus demonstrate that the calculated structures with antiparallel molecules as building blocks caused by the multipolar interaction are correct. For the trimer and tetramer the spectra obtained in the ultracold helium clusters are better reproduced than those of the free clusters indicating that in this experimental arrangement specific isomeric structures are present which are not observed in the warmer free clusters.
Ab initio Hartree-Fock Raman spectra of polyacrylonitrile
1998, Polymer
Because of the recent progress in near-infrared Fourier transform (n.i.r.-FT) Raman spectroscopy, it has become possible to circumvent the fluorescence problem which precludes recording Raman spectra of many important systems, such as some polymers widely used in industry. Being especially concerned with polyacrylonitrile (PAN), we have carried out preliminary ab initio SCF calculations in order to assess how the Raman intensities depend on the molecular structure of this material. The results reported are expected to be useful for future n.i.r.-FTRaman studies of PAN in order to interpret the differences that should be observed between various samples.
Infrared spectra and structure of the cyano and methoxycarbonyl derivatives of 3,3-bis(dimethylamino)acrylonitrile: An ab initio force field treatment
1997, Journal of Molecular Structure
The structure of 2-cyano-3,3-bis(dimethylamino)acrylonitrile and 2-methoxycarbonyl-3,3-bis(dimethylamino)acrylonitrile has been studied on the basis of both infrared spectra and ab initio force field calculations. The 3012–376 cm⁻¹ region bands have been assigned; a good agreement has been found between the theoretical and experimental spectroscopic characteristics. According to both infrared data and bond parameters, the CC bond in the molecules studied is strongly polarized. The ground-state charge transfer between the electropositive and electronegative fragments of the molecules is more than 0.5 e⁻, so the species studied have a dual character, both molecular and zwitterionic.
