要旨

Harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequency calculations are reported for the most stable hydrogen bonded complexes formed between the hydroperoxyl radical and formic, acetic, nitric, and sulfuric acids which are of atmospheric interest. A comparison between the calculated IR spectra of the hydrogen bonded complexes with the corresponding separate monomers is also reported with the aim to facilitate a possible experimental identification of these complexes. The calculations have been carried out using the second-order vibrational perturbative treatment implemented by Barone applied to the PES obtained with the B3LYP functional using the 6-31+G(d,p) and 6-311+G(2d,2p) basis sets. Our calculations for the separate monomers predict vibrational frequencies with quite a good agreement with the experimental values. The anharmonic contribution results in differences of around 40 cm−1 with respect to the harmonic values; although in some cases involving highly anharmonic modes, these differences can rise up to 300 and 450 cm−1.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
