Abstract
Post Hartree–Fock and density functional theory (DFT) methods were used to study the different conformers of nitrosoethylene HCHCHNO, and substituted compounds of the nitrosoethylene RCHCHNO (R=Cl, NH 2, N(CH 3) 2, OH, OCH 3). The molecules were optimized at MP2/6-31G* level of theory of ab initio and B3LYP/6-31G* and B3PW91/6-31G* levels of theory of DFT. Special emphasis has been given to the effect of substitution of π-electron donor groups NH 2, N(CH 3) 2, OH, and OCH 3, which play a major role in modifying the geometrical parameters of NO group by the electronic transmission effects through the central group CHCH. The ability of DFT methods to predict the bond length adjacent to the atoms having lone pair electrons has been discussed. The conformational stabilities have been studied using the relative energies and DFT parameters such as chemical hardness and chemical potential. The role of intra-molecular hydrogen bond on the equilibrium structure has been discussed. The vibrational spectra for the different conformers of the nitrosoethylene and substituted compounds have been generated using the MP2/6-31G* level of theory.
