Notes:
The molecular and electronic structures of ADPO 1, a model thiapentalene 2, and [Xe2F3]+ have been calculated in the local-density functional (LDF) formalism with polarized double numerical basis sets. The molecules were calculated to have planar C2ν structures in agreement with experiment and in contrast to Hartree-Fock molecular-orbital calculations. The vibrational spectra of all species were calculated to show that the optimized structures are indeed minima. The calculated spectrum of [Xe2F3]+ is compared with the experimental one and excellent agreement is found. These results demonstrate that the LDF method can be applied to the prediction of molecular structures containing hypervalent bonds.
