NH3

Vibrational analysis

Molecule: NH3 (Calculation Method: RB3LYP & Basis Set: 6-31G(d,p) )

Final Energy: -56.55776873 a.u.

RMS Gradient: 0.00000485 a.u.

Point Group: C3V

N-H Bond Length: 1.01798

H-N-H Bond Angle: 105.741 °

Charges: -1.125 on N atom and 0.375 on the three H atoms. Since N is more electronegative[1] than H, this result is to be expected.

Vibrational Analysis:

Expected Vibration modes: (3*4) - 6 = 6

There are two pairs of degenerate modes (2,3),(5,6).

3 modes are bend and 3 modes are stretch.

Which mode is highly symmetric? 4, symmetric stretch mode.

One mode is known as the "umbrella" mode, which one is this? 1, bending.

2 bands are expected to be seen in the IR spectrum of NH3; as vibrational modes 4,5 and 6 do not have a big enough change in dipole moment and vibrational modes 2 and 3 are degenerate.

Molecular Orbital Analysis

MO analysis

This MO is deepest in Energy. It is a non-bonding Molecular Orbital and has no effect on bond strength or bond order.







MO analysis

This MO is a sigma bonding orbital formed by the interactions between the 2s atomic orbitals of the O atoms.







MO analysis

This MO is the HOMO, and it is a pi* anti-bonding orbital. This MO is formed by the destructive interaction between p atomic orbitals.







MO analysis


This MO is the LUMO, and it is also a pi* anti-bonding orbital. This MO is formed by the destructive interactions between p atomic orbitals, perpendicular to the previous MO.

This MO is a sigma* anti-bonding orbital, formed from the "head-on" destructive interactions of p atomic orbitals; this orbital has no electrons in it in the ground state configuration of O2.








CF4

Vibrational analysis

Molecule: NH3 (Calculation Method: RB3LYP & Basis Set: 6-31G(d,p) )

Final Energy: -437.47454835 a.u.

RMS Gradient: 0.01113436 a.u.

Point Group: TD

C-F Bond Length: 1.32939

H-N-H Bond Angle: 109.471 °

Charges: 1.407 on C atom and -0.352 on the four F atoms. Since F is more electronegative[2] than C, this result is to be expected, as F will "pull" on the central carbon electrons and leave the central carbon with a positive charge.

Vibrational Analysis:

Expected Vibration modes: (3*5) - 6 = 9

Modes 1 and 2; 3,4 and 5; and 7,8 and 9 are degenerate to each other.

5 modes are bend and 4 modes are stretch.

Which mode is highly symmetric? 6 is a highly symmetric stretch .

2 bands are expected to be seen in the IR spectrum of CF4; as vibrational modes 1,2 and 6 do not have a change in dipole moment and vibrational modes 3, 4 and 4 are degenerate and modes 7, 8 and 9 are also degenerate.
