Th e absolute entropy values at 298.15 K of several oxygen and nitrogen-containing organic compounds were calculated within the rigid rotator -harmonic oscillator approximation using various methods of quantum chemistry incorporated in the Gaussian 09 software package. Th e obtained values have been compared with the ones from published sources. Th e impact of the computing method (HF, B3LYP, MP2) and the basis set (6-31G(d,p), 6-311++G(3df,3pd), aug-cc-pvtz) on the accuracy of obtained absolute entropy values has beendiscussed. p) is the most optimal combination of the computing method/utilized basis set for a fast estimation of the entropy values of small organic compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
