Comparação entre métodos compostos no cálculo de afinidades por próton e elétron em sistemas moleculares Comparison among composite methods on the calculation of proton and electron affinities in molecular systems

Abstract

The CBS-4M, CBS-QB3, G2, G2(MP2), G3 and G3(MP2) model chemistry methods have been used to calculate proton and electron affinities for a set of molecular and atomic systems. Agreement with the experimental value for these electronic properties is quite good considering the uncertainty in the experimental data. A comparison among the six theories using statistical analysis (average value, standard deviation and root-mean-square) showed a better performance of CBS-QB3 to obtain these properties.
