STRUCTURES AND VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES OF FOOF AND FONO USING DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY
CHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS, 202 (6): 489--494 (1993)
Abstract
Calculations of the equilibrium structure and vibrational frequencies of FOOF using the local density approximation are in good agreement with experimental results. However using a theoretically more accurate gradient corrected (non-local) density functional produces a worse structure. Three isomers of FONO are also studied. The geometry of C2v isomer FNO2 is predicted accurately by the local density approximation, with gradient corrected functions again giving a poorer structure, but better vibrational frequencies. The structure of the trans-isomer of FONO is in agreement with recent coupled cluster studies, however calculations on cis-FONO disagree with the coupled cluster results, but may be in better agreement with the experimental geometry.
