! EXAM29. surface scan ! The scan is done over a 3x3 grid centered on the SCF ! transition state for the endothermic SN2 type reaction ! F- + NH2OH -> F-NH2-OH anion -> FNH2 + OH- ! ! Groups 1 and 2 are F and OH, and their distance from ! the N is varied antisymmetrically, which is more or ! less what the IRC should be like. The results seem to ! indicate that the MP2/3-21G saddle point would shift ! further into the product channel, since the higher ! MP2 energies occur at shorter r(NF) and longer r(NO): ! ! FINAL E= -229.0368324512, E(MP2)= -229.3873300818 ! FINAL E= -229.0356378315, E(MP2)= -229.3866641810 ! FINAL E= -229.0309266214, E(MP2)= -229.3822093947 ! FINAL E= -229.0372146613, E(MP2)= -229.3923234590 ! FINAL E= -229.0385440206, E(MP2)= -229.3936484220 ! FINAL E= -229.0367369459, E(MP2)= -229.3913681166 !

A more conclusive way to tell this would be to compute ! single point MP2 energies along the SCF IRC, since the ! true reaction path always curves, and thus does not lie ! along rectangular grid points. ! $contrl scftyp=rhf runtyp=surface icharg=-1 coord=zmt mplevl=2 $end $system timlim=1 $end $surf ivec1(1)=2,1 igrp1=1 ivec2(1)=2,5 igrp2(1)=5,6 disp1= 0.10 ndisp1=3 orig1=-0.10 disp2=-0.10 ndisp2=3 orig2= 0.10 $end $basis gbasis=n21 ngauss=3 $end $guess guess=huckel $end $data F-NH2-OH exchange (inspired by J.Phys.Chem. 1994,98,7942-4) Cs F N 1 rNF H 2 rNH 1 aFNH H 2 rNH 1 aFNH 3 aHNH +1 O 2 rNO 3 aONH 4 aONH -1 H 5 rOH 2 aHON 1 180.0 rNF=1.7125469 rNH=0.9966981 rNO=1.9359887 rOH=0.9828978 aFNH=90.18493 aONH=79.34339 aHON=100.78851 aHNH=108.57000 $end
