title: Ab initio prediction of the vibrational spectrum of the hydrogen bonded complex O2N...HONO2.
abstract: The changes in the structural parameters and vibrational characteristics (vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and Raman activities) arising from the hydrogen bonding between NO(2) and HONO(2) have been studied employing ab initio 6-31G(d, p)/UHF and 6-31+G(d, p)/UHF, and B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) calculations. The charge rearrangement upon hydrogen bonding have been, estimated using the Mulliken population analyses. It was established that the complexation between NO(2) and HONO(2) leads to changes in the structural parameters and the vibrational characteristics of the monomers. The most sensitive to the hydrogen bond formation are the vibrational characteristics of the normal modes of the monomer bonds participating in the hydrogen bonding. The predicted shifts in the vibrational frequencies by ab initio and B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) calculations are in very good agreement with the experimentally observed, which is an evidence for the reliance of the studied structure.
