- Abstract
- The vibrational spectra and ring-puckering potential energy functions of 1,4-cyclohexadiene, 4H-pyran and 1,4-dioxin have been examined using a density functional theory (DFT) method as well as the Hartree-Fock (HF) and second-order Moller-Plesset (MP2) methods. The calculated vibrational frequencies and potential energy functions of those molecules have been compared with previously reported experimental data and MM3 results. For all three molecules, the DFT method using Becke's three-parameter functional (B3LYP) has led to the prediction of more accurate vibrational frequencies than the HF and MP2 methods. The enlargement of the basis set at the B3LYP levels has improved the accuracy of calculated vibrational frequencies. In particular, the C-O-C=C torsional force field parameters obtained from the B3LYP method have correctly predicted the ring-puckering potential energy functions of the oxygen-containing analogues, 4H-pyran and 1,4-dioxin, which could not be done by the MM3 method.
