Abstract
Structural parameters, standard entropies, and vibrational spectra of cyanides and isocyanides of trivalent AI, Ga, and In were obtained for the first time by ab initio and B3LYP density functional methods. The isocyanide form is found to be preferable for Al; for Ga and In, the cyanide form is more stable. The considerable discrepancy between the results obtained by the SCF and B3LYP methods shows that it is important to take electron correlation energy into account; however, a comparison between the DZP and LANL2DZP basis sets demonstrates that basis sets with the effective core potential are not adequate for describing molecular tricyanides of group IIIa elements. This situation is probably characteristic for molecular systems with a cyano group in the molecule.
