  ABSTRACT: Systematic quantum chemical calculations have been performed to obtain precise estimates of the equilibrium and vibrationally averaged molecular structure and electric dipole moment of vinylacetylene (VA, 1-buten-3-yne). Anharmonic (cubic and semi-diagonal quartic) MP2/cc-pVTZ force fields in normal coordinates were computed to account for anharmonic vibrational effects, including zero-point contributions to the rotational constants and the electric dipole moment. A simultaneous weighted least-squares structural refinement was performed, resulting in the best semispectroscopic estimate of the re structure of VA. The refinement was based on experimentally measured ground-state rotational constants of two isotopologs of VA corrected to equilibrium values using MP2/cc-pVTZ vibration-rotation interaction constants and all-electron CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ structural constraints. The semispectroscopic re structure of VA agrees excellently with the high-level CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ ab initio structure. The most dependable, CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ//CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ equilibrium electric dipole moment of VA, in D, is mua= 0.4088, mub= 0.0004, and muc= 0. The vibrationally corrected a-component of 0.4214 D is in excellent agreement with one of the available experimental values. The present analysis shows that mub is negligible even after vibrational correction. A simple quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model resulted in a highly similar estimate, 0.45 D, for the electric dipole moment of VA.

  ABSTRACT: High-level ab initio electronic structure calculations, including extrapolations to the complete basis set limit as well as relativistic and diagonal Born-Oppenheimer corrections, resulted in a torsional potential of acetaldehyde in its electronic ground state. This benchmark-quality potential fully reflects the symmetry and internal rotation dynamics of this molecule in the energy range probed by spectroscopic experiments in the infrared and microwave regions. The torsional transition frequencies calculated from this potential and the ab initio torsional inverse effective mass function are within 2 cm(-1) of the available experimental values. Furthermore, the computed contortional parameter rho of the rho-axis system Hamiltonian is also in excellent agreement with that obtained from spectral analyses of acetaldehyde.
