| Abstract | |
The infrared fundamental intensities and QTAIM/CCFDF contributions to the atomic polar tensor were calculated at MP2/6-311++G(3d, 3p) and QCISD/cc-pVTZ levels, for the chlorofluoromethanes. A rms error of 21.2 km/mol was obtained between experimental and MP2/6-311++G(3d, 3p) intensities. The rms error between experimental and QCISD/cc-pVTZ intensities was 20.0 km/mol. The rms error found between intensities obtained directly from the wave functions and calculated through QTAIM/CCFDF parameters was 0.016 km/mol for the MP2/6-311++G(3d, 3p) level, and 0.018 km/mol for the QCISD/cc-pVTZ level. The error between the theoretical atomic polar tensor elements and mean dipole moment derivatives compared to experimental values is about 0.06 a.u. Despite good results for the mean dipole moment derivatives, the CCFDF contributions have not been calculated with the same accuracy. The fluoromethanes seem to be the only group whose electronic structures fit the simple electronegativity model. The fluorine atom does not has its ability to drain charge from the central atom altered, while the chlorine effective charge seems to depend on the number and identity of other terminal atoms. This saturating effect separates the studied molecules in three groups: fluoromethanes, chloromethane and chlorofluoromethanes. Mean dipole moment derivatives have a better fit to Siegbahn¿s model than zero-flux charges, beside to their dynamic contributions. The sum rule for mean dipole moment derivatives was efficient for the carbon atom. Terminal atoms did not have the same accuracy for the sum rule. QCISD/cc-pVTZ anisotropy values were closer to experimental values, when compared to the MP2/6-311++G(3d, 3p) level (AU) | |
