Ab initio studies on complexes formed by melamine and cyclotrione
Abstract
Ab initio methods were used to study the binding energies of non-bonded complexes formed by melamine and cyclotrione, with the STO-3G, 3-21G and 6-31G (d) basis sets. The electronic spectra were computed using the INDO/CIS method, and the IR spectra, Raman and NMR spectra with the RHF/6-31G (d)method. It was demonstrated that the complexes could be formed because of the negative binding energies, which were changed with the change in the electronic properties of the monomers. A red-shift of the first absorptions in the electronic spectra and the vibrational frequencies of the N–H bonds in the IR and Raman spectra of the complexes, compared with those of the monomers, occurred; simultaneously, the 1Hand 13C chemical shifts were altered, due to the non-bonded interaction.
