	abstract = {<p>Based on numerical evidence and theoretical arguments, we demonstrate that the unconventional density variations are not really unconventional and should be included in the density variational domain of any ground-state density. As a result, Lieb\&rsquo;s Theorem 3.10 (Lieb, Int J Quantum Chem 1983, 24, 243) is reconfirmed. More specifically, the energy variation delta E-v is of order higher than linear order of the density variation delta n(r) about the ground-state density n(0)(r) of a system with a fixed number of electrons in Hilbert space, whereas delta E-v is of linear order of delta n(r) about the ground-state density of a system with a varied number of electrons in Fock space. The unconventional density variations are not the cause for the linear-order behavior of delta E-v in Fock space and the derivative discontinuity of the total energy. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

	abstract = {<p>Molecular structure of 1-chloro-1,1-difluoro-pentane-2,4-dione (monochlorodifluoro-acetylacetone, CDFAA) has been investigated by means of ab initio and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and the results were compared with those of 1,1,1-trifluoropentane-2,4-dione (trifluoro-acetylacetone, TFAA). The harmonic vibrational frequencies of the two most stable cis-enol forms were calculated at the 133LYP level of theory using 6-3 1 G** and 6-311 ++G** basis sets. We also calculated the anharmonic frequencies at the B3LYP/6-31G** level of theory for these two stable cis-enol isomers. The calculated frequencies and the Raman and IR intensities were compared with the experimental results. The energy difference between the two stable cis-enol forms, calculated at the MP2/6-31G** level, is only 3.42 U/mol. The observed vibrational frequencies and intensities in the gas phase are in excellent agreement with the corresponding values calculated for the two most stable conformers. However, the observed IR and Raman frequencies also indicate coexisting of both tautomers in the liquid phase and in solution. According to the theoretical calculations, at the B3LYP/6-31 1++G** level, the hydrogen bond strength for the most stable conformer is 54.45 U/mol, about 2.4 kJ/mol less than that of the corresponding conformer of TFAA. These results are in agreement with the obtained experimental data. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {In this paper we report results from our theoretical studies on two P-diketones which exist as stable enol tautomers: acetylacetone and malonaldehyde. We found that density functional theory (DFT) with Becke{\textquoteright}s exchange functional and Perdew{\textquoteright}s correlation functional can accurately predict the core-electron binding energies (CEBEs) of both molecules. The oxygen 1s {\textendash}> pi* inner-shell excitation spectra (ISES) of both tautomers have also been studied using our DFT procedure. The CEBEs for the corresponding carbons and oxygens of the C=O and C-OH groups of malonaldehyde are larger than those of acetylacetone, The first term values corresponding to a core-hole on the carbonyl oxygen were found to be larger than those with a core-hole on the enol oxygen. The observation indicates that the effect of a core-hole in the proximity of pi*: orbital has a stronger effect on increasing the electron affinity of the core-ionized cation.

	abstract = {A recent procedure for computing accurate core electron binding energies (CEBEs) via density functional theory (DFT) is applied to acetonitrile, propionitrile, 2-cyanopropane, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile and the 2-methylglutaronitrile conformer of lowest energy, The first three systems have been studied in the past as model compounds to interpret the XPS spectrum of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) using post-Hartree-Fock finite-difference calculations, in order to solve a controversy in the assignment of chemically shifted atoms in the C 1s region, This assignment is revisited with the unrestricted generalized transition-state model and a combined functional of Becke{\textquoteright}s 1988 exchange with Perdew{\textquoteright}s 1986 correlation. Using Dunning{\textquoteright}s correlation-consistent polarized valence triple zeta basis sets with scaling improvements, we obtain predicted CEBEs for gasphase acetonitrile, propionitrile and acrylonitrile in remarkable agreement with experiment (average absolute deviation 0.09 eV). The CEBEs of these systems confirm the overall trends of the previous attributions of their respective gas-phase XPS spectrum, except in the case of propionitrile. These results, as well as those on 2-cyanopropane, methacrylonitrile and 2-methylglutaronitrile, bring some additional information on the extrapolation of the results to the assignment of the C 1s contributions of polyacrylonitrile.
