  • Title: Anharmonic rovibrational analysis for disilacyclopropenylidene (Si2CH2).
    Author: Lu T, Wilke JJ, Yamaguchi Y, Schaefer HF.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2011 Apr 28; 134(16):164101. PubMed ID: 21528944.
    Abstract:
    The global minimum on the Si(2)CH(2) electronic singlet potential energy surface has been theoretically predicted to be a peculiar hydrogen bridged (Si···H···Si) disilacyclopropenylidene structure (Si(2)CH(2)). An accurate quartic force field for Si(2)CH(2) has been determined employing ab initio coupled-cluster theory with single and double excitations and a perturbative treatment for triple excitations [CCSD(T)], in combination with the correlation consistent core-valence quadruple zeta (cc-pCVQZ) basis set. The vibration-rotation coupling constants, equilibrium and zero-point vibration corrected rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, and harmonic and fundamental vibrational frequencies for six isotopologues of Si(2)CH(2) are predicted using vibrational second-order perturbation theory (VPT2). The anharmonic corrections for the vibrational motions involving the H bridged bonds are found to be more than 5% with respect to the corresponding harmonic vibrational frequencies. In this light, an experimental detection and characterization of disilacyclopropenylidene (Si(2)CH(2)) is highly desired.
