title: Theoretical studies on the tautomerism of tetrazole selenone.
abstract: The tautomerism of all possible forms of tetrazole selenone (A-G), induced by proton transfer, was studied, theoretically, in different environments including gas phase, continuum solvent and microsolvated environment with one or two explicit water or ammonia molecules. The calculations were performed using two different levels of theory including mPW2PLYP and DFT-B3LYP. The 6-311++G(d,p) basis set was used for C, H, O and N and the standard relativistic effective core pseudo potential LANL2DZ basis set was used for Se atom. It was found that the tetrazole selenone, in the form of A, is the most stable isomer in all of the environments considered in this work. The kinetics of proton transfer reaction was studied in both gas and solvent environments and it was concluded that the activation energy of the reaction increases with going from the gas phase to polar solvents. Moreover, the proton transfer reaction assisted by one or two water or ammonia molecules was investigated and it was found that the activation energy significantly reduces.
