Computational Studies Of Constant Bond Dissociation Enthalpy Ratios And Novel Structures For [H3, B, C, F]+, Le Li

Masters Theses

This thesis describes two separate computational chemistry projects. The first project is a study of constant bond dissociation enthalpy ratios, and the second project is a study of the rearrangement and fragmentation processes on the singlet potential energy surface of the [H₃, B, C, F]⁺ system.

G2 and G2(MP2) enthalpies have been calculated for isoelectronic AB₂ systems with singlet-linear, singlet-nonlinear, triplet-linear, and triplet-nonlinear electronic states and geometries, and for isoelectronic AB systems with singlet and triplet electronic states. For these systems, A = B^-, Al^-, Ga^-, C, Si, Ge, N …
