Lc. Jitariu et al., AN AB-INITIO STUDY OF DIMETHYL-SULFOXIDE AND ITS ADDUCTS WITH H2O, HCL AND OH-, Journal of molecular structure. Theochem, 391(1-2), 1997, pp. 111-116
Optimized geometries for dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and its adducts wit
h H2O, HCl and OH- have been obtained by ab initio HF/6-31G* calculat
ions. HF/6-31 + G* calculations for the anion [CH3SOCH2](-) (DSN) hav
e also been carried out. Vibrational frequencies have been calculated
at the equilibrium geometries for DMSO, DMSO ... H2O, DMSO ... HCl and
DSN and compared with experimental data. Solvation effects have been
taken into account by self-consistent reaction field calculations.
