Ab initio study of cyanoguanidine isomers

Abstract

An ab initio quantum chemical study of the geometric structure and stability of cyanoguanidine isomers was carried out at the Hartree-Fock and Møller-Plesset levels of theory. Two stable separable isomers (‘cyanioime’ and ‘cyanoamine’) are found. This gives evidence in favour of the vibrational spectroscopy data showing the existence of both isomers.
