A wide range of Gaussian results can be examined with GaussView’s visualization capabilities:
● Molecule annotations and/or property-specific coloring: e.g., atomic charges, bond orders, NMR chemical shifts
● Plots, including NMR, vibrational and vibronic spectra
● Surfaces or contours: e.g., molecular orbitals, electron density, spin density. Properties such as the electrostatic potential can be visualized as a colorized density surface.
● Animations: e.g., normal modes, IRC paths, geometry optimizations
This graph plots the bond strength in second and third row hydride compounds (experiment: [CRC00]), which generally increases across the periodic table, with the strongest bond occurring in the element just before the noble gas. The plot has a similar overall shape for both rows, but the values for the third row are higher, due to the additional shielding from the nucleus by the filled second shell. The images show the electrostatic potential for each compound mapped onto an isodensity surface. The H2?surface illustrates the covalent nature of this bond; the bonds in the other hydride compounds are ionic. The negative electrostatic potential (red) is localized on the hydrogen atom at the beginning of each row, and it moves to the substituent as the atomic number increases within a row. Thus, hydride bond strengths increase across a period (row) and decrease as you go down a group (column), due to changes in electronegativity.
C60?was detected in IR observations of the Iris nebula (NGC 7023) in 2004 [Werner04,?Sellgren10]. The inset graph shows the peak locations identified from the data (solid bars) superimposed on the spectrum predicted by the APFD/6-311+G(2d,p) model chemistry. The strongest peaks (purple) differ from the laboratory IR spectrum by 0.03-0.06 μm.
Organophosphorous compounds are commonly used as pesticides (among many other applications). These compounds adversely affect human health, due to both their inherent toxicity and from the harmful products created during combustion (e.g., as a result of burning previously-treated plant material). The decomposition of these compounds is difficult to study experimentally; thermochemical data for them is scarce. However, high accuracy thermochemistry predictions can bridge this gap and allow the thermal stability of the relevant compounds and combustion products to be studied. For example, this graph plots the heat capacity as a function of temperature for two such compounds: the pesticide glyphosate and the more benign flame retardant compound dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP). It also reports their heats of formation (kcal/mol), as predicted by the CBS-QB3 calculations of Khalfa and coworkers [Khalfa15]. Their paper presents computed results for a large number of trivalent and pentavalent phosphorus compounds, data which enables them to propose 83 original groups for use in the semi-empirical group contribution method of Benson, and thereby allows them to evaluate the thermochemical properties of some common pesticides, herbicides and related compounds.
