Introduction

A theoretical study of the vibrational properties of the selenium compounds, C[F.sub.3]SeX (X = H, D, Cl, or Br), was recently performed in our laboratory (1). Similar calculations are now made on other two simple C[F.sub.3]Se derivatives, i.e., C[F.sub.3]SeCN and C[F.sub.3]SeC[H.sub.3]. These molecules were prepared from (C[F.sub.3]Se)2Hg by Dale et al. (2) and by Emeleus and Welchman Welch´man

Calculation procedure

Optimized structures and vibrational wavenumbers for C[F.sub.3]SeCN and C[F.sub.3]SeC[H.sub.3] were obtained with density functional theory (DFT) methods using the B3LYP LYP Local Yellow Pages (directory advertising)  functional (9, 10) together with the 6-311[G.sup.*] basis set. This theoretical data facilitated the comparison of the results with those obtained in previous work in which the same combination of functional and basis sets was used.

) formalism (11) was used for the calculation of the atomic charges, which appear in Fig. 1. The calculations were made with the Gaussian 98 set of programs (12).

Structural results

The molecular conformations of the two molecules were investigated starting with initial, staggered structures having FCSeC dihedral di·he·dral

 around the Se-C bond from 0[degrees] to 60[degrees], in steps of 5[degrees], and the structure was optimized with that dihedral angle frozen. These calculations showed that only a single conformer exists for both compounds, corresponding to the structures of symmetry symmetry, generally speaking, a balance or correspondence between various parts of an object; the term symmetry is used both in the arts and in the sciences.  Cs shown in Fig. 1.

An additional series of calculations were performed for the C[F.sub.3]SeC[H.sub.3] molecule in which the C[F.sub.3] and C[H.sub.3] groups were rotated simultaneously in the same or opposite directions in steps of 10[degrees]. These calculations confirmed the existence of only one minimum in the potential energy surface.

The most stable conformations predicted for these molecules were fully optimized, and their structures are shown in Fig. 1. As mentioned before, structural geometrical parameters were reported only for C[F.sub.3]SeCN (4), and these values are shown in Table 1 together with the calculated values. The (mean) calculated and experimental distances and angles do not differ by more than 0.020 [Ansgtrom] and 3.4[degrees], respectively.

Clearly, C[F.sub.3]SeCN shows a tilt angle Noun 1. tilt angle - the angle a rocket makes with the vertical as it curves along its trajectory

 that is considerably larger than those calculated for SeC[F.sub.3] and SeC[H.sub.3] in C[F.sub.3]SeC[H.sub.3]. This theoretical result could be explained by taking into account the calculated electric charges on the atoms. In fact, the [F.sub.3], F4, and N7 atoms of C[F.sub.3]SeCN (Fig. 1) show negative charges of -0.34 (F) and -0.29 (N); whereas, in C[F.sub.3]SeC[H.sub.3] the charges are positive for H8 and H9 (+0.21) and negative for [F.sub.3] and F4 (-0.36). Therefore, the repulsive re·pul·sive

 forces between the F and N atoms in the former molecule could explain the relatively large tilt angle of the SeC[F.sub.3] moiety moiety: see clan.  and the predicted value of 176.6[degrees] for the Se-C-N angle; whereas, the attractive forces between the mentioned H and F atoms in the latter molecule could be the cause of the notably smaller calculated tilt angles.

Vibrational results

The normal modes of vibration of the C[F.sub.3]SeCN and C[F.sub.3]SeC[H.sub.3] molecules, with Cs symmetry, are classified as 10A' + 5A" and 13A' + 8A", respectively.

The atomic displacements calculated for each vibrational mode, represented graphically with the program Moldraw (14), confirmed the assignment of bands proposed by Clase et al. (6) for both molecules. In fact, these authors corrected and completed a previous study made on C[F.sub.3]SeCN and related molecules by Marsden (5). The experimental wave-numbers for each molecule reported in ref. 6 appear in Tables 2 and 3 together with the corresponding qualitative intensities. In most cases, the observed values agree with the calculated IR and Raman band intensities. That agreement is particularly clear for the bands due to the C[F.sub.3] stretching vibrations where the strongly polarized A one-way direction of a signal or the molecules within a material pointing in one direction.  C-F bonds produce very strong IR bands and weak or very weak Raman bands. The agreement between measured and calculated wavenumbers was evaluated by means of the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), which was equal to 29 [cm.sup.-1] for C[F.sub.3]SeCN and 55 [cm.sup.-1] for C[F.sub.3]SeC[H.sub.3]. After the force field scaling procedure, these values fell to 8 and 7 [cm.sup.-1], respectively.

Force constants

The force fields in Cartesian coordinates Cartesian coordinates (kärtē`zhən) [for René Descartes], system for representing the relative positions of points in a plane or in space. , as generated by the Gaussian programs for the two molecules, were transformed to the set of non-redundant coordinates defined in Tables 4 and 5. Such coordinates consider the local symmetry In physics, a symmetry describes a quality of a physical system that is independent upon modifying variables that describe that system (one says that the theory is invariant under such transformations).  of the C[F.sub.3] and C[H.sub.3] groups and follow the proposals of Fogarasi et al. (15). The resulting force constants were subsequently scaled according to according to

 the scheme of Pulay et al. (8), in which the main force constants are multiplied by scale factors (e.g., [f.sub.i] and [f.sub.j]), and the corresponding interaction constants are multiplied by [([f.sub.i] x [f.sub.j]).sup.1/2], adjusting the scale factors to reproduce the experimental wavenumbers as accurately as possible.

The final scaling factors corresponding to each force constant for the two studied species appear in Table 6. Obviously, most of these factors are greater than one. This is the case when heavy atoms (after the second row of the Periodic Table) appear in the molecule. This fact has been reported for many molecules containing non-metallic heavy atoms (16) as well as for several C[F.sub.3]S[O.sub.2]X molecules (17). To prove that the scaling factors are transferable between related molecules, a subsequent calculation was performed using the mean factors for common coordinates previously obtained for the C[F.sub.3]SeX series (1) and adjusting only the factors that affect the non-common coordinates. In that calculation, the final RMSD values did not differ by more than 1 [cm.sup.-1] from those obtained with the scaling factors of Table 6.

The main force constants in symmetry coordinates as well as some interaction constants for the studied molecules are reproduced in Tables 7 and 8 together with the corresponding values calculated by Wahi et al. (7). Clearly, no large differences appear between both sets of main force constants, based in the same vibrational band assignments. However, there are significant disagreements between the sets of interaction constants, probably because most of these values were fixed in the traditional procedure of refinement performed by these authors. On the other hand, the theoretical approach used in the present work produces a complete force constants matrix. The SQM matrices are available as supplementary data. (3) The SQM force fields were used to calculate the potential energy distributions (PED n. 1. A basket; a hammer; a pannier. ) that appear in Tables 2 and 3. The PED show that some coordinates are strongly mixed in both molecules, as is the case with S3 (v(C[F.sub.3]) symm.), [S.sub.4] ([delta](C[F.sub.3]) symm.), and [S.sub.8] (v(C-Se)) for C[F.sub.3]SeCN and the corresponding [S.sub.6], [S.sub.8], and [S.sub.11] coordinates for C[F.sub.3]SeC[H.sub.3], which appear to be contributing in different proportions to the modes [v.sub.3] and [v.sub.4] for the first molecule and [v.sub.6] and [v.sub.8] for the latter. A similar observation was made for the C[F.sub.3]SeX molecules (1).

The internal force constants calculated from the corresponding SQM force fields for these molecules are shown in Table 9. As expected, these force constants are close to the values previously obtained for other selenium derivates using the same calculation procedure (1).
