Gas-Phase Thermodynamic Properties of Dichlorophenols Determined from Density Functional Theory Calculations

Abstract: Density functional theory has been used to investigate gas-phase thermodynamic properties of phenol and dichlorophenols. Molecular geometries, energies, and vibrational frequencies were computed at the B3LYP and BP86 levels of theory. At T = 298.15 K, calculated standard enthalpies of formation are in excellent agreement with experimental data. The average deviation between calculated and experimental values is of about 2.3 kJ/mol, and in some cases, theoretical values fall within experimental uncertainty. Oth… Show more

“…The B3LYP method comprises an exchange-correlation functional that mixes the non-local Fock exchange with the gradient-corrected form of Becke 23 and adds the correlation functional proposed by Lee et al 26 The use of the B3LYP method is known to be an excellent computational choice both to obtain geometric and thermodynamic data. [27][28][29] In fact, the three a, b and c parameters in this hybrid approach were determined by fitting to experimental thermochemical data which include atomization energies, ionization energies, proton affinities and atomic energies of a large set of molecules. 23 Very recently, several different thermochemical properties have been computed at the B3LYP level of theory and the results obtained compare excellently with available experimental data.…”

“…23 Very recently, several different thermochemical properties have been computed at the B3LYP level of theory and the results obtained compare excellently with available experimental data. 29,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36] In the DFT calculations, the geometry optimization runs were performed without symmetry constraints for all compounds considered and the atomic electronic density of all atoms was described by the standard 6-31CG(d) basis set. The calculation of frequencies was performed to ensure that a minimum is located and also to correct total energies by including the Zero-Point Energies, ZPE, as well as translational (H T ), rotational (H R ) and vibrational (H V ) contributions to the enthalpy at TZ298.15 K. Then, a single-point energy calculation (E 0 ) was performed at the B3LYP/6-311CG(2d,2p) level of theory on the 6-31CG(d) optimized geometries.…”

“…32 Vibrational frequencies have also been calculated at the same level of theory used in the optimization procedure. This is used to correct the computed electronic energy values for Zero-Point Energies, ZPE, as well as translational, rotational, and vibrational contributions to the enthalpy at T ¼ 298:15 K. The above mentioned exchange-correlation functional was chosen since, in previous works devoted to the thermochemistry of halogenated anilines, 10,[33][34][35] it was found that the use of this functional permitted estimation of accurate gas-phase enthalpies of formation for this class of compounds. Atoms in Molecules calculations have been performed by means of the TOPMOD code.…”

“…45,46 The presence of halogen-hydrogen bonds in 2-chloro and 2-bromoanilines was determined by the use of a topological analysis using wave functions resulting from B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculations, I enable direct comparison with previous results for com- pounds containing weak hydrogen bonds 47,48 available in the literature, that were computed using the same theoretical approach. A critical point appears in the region between the halogen and the amino group's hydrogen atom with the following parameters: in 2-chloroaniline, electron density () = 0.013, laplacian of the electron density (r The energies of all bromoanilines, and those of aniline, benzene, and bromobenzene, which were all corrected for T ¼ 298:15 K, were used to compute the energy of the reaction described by the following equation: 33 the DFT results for the dibromoanilines given in Table 8 must be used with caution.
