Structure of water-N-methylacetamide, -N,N-dimethylacetamide complexes.
Quantum chemical analysis.
Abstract
The structure of N-methylacetamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide dimers and
hydrogen-bonded complexes of N-methylacetamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide
with water molecules (1-3 molecules in the complex) has been studied by
the quantum chemical method based on the density functional theory (DFT)
approximation using hybrid Becke, three-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP)
functional and gradient-corrected correlation functional of Perdew,
Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE), D3 version of Grimme dispersion correction
and augmented correlation-consistent polarized valence-only triple-zeta
(aug-CC-pVTZ) basis set. The geometrical parameters of hydrogen bonds,
binding energies, vibrational bands have been calculated and the Natural
Bond Orbital (NBO), quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM)
analyses have been carried out.
