Accurate near-equilibrium potential energy and dipole moment functions have been calculated for the linear coinage-metal cyanides CuCN, AgCN, and AuCN using coupled cluster methods and sequences of correlation consistent basis sets. The explicitly correlated CCSD(T)-F12b method is used for the potential energy surfaces (PESs) with inclusion of core correlation, and is combined with contributions from molecular spin-orbit coupling, scalar relativity, and effects due to higher order electron correlation. The resulting composite PESs are used in both perturbative and variational calculations of the ro-vibrational spectra. In addition to accurate equilibrium geometries, the ro-vibrational spectra are predicted, which are found to be relatively intense in the 200-600 cm(-1) range due to the bending and metal-carbon stretching modes. The CN stretch near 2165 cm(-1) is also predicted to carry enough intensity to allow its observation by experiment. A strong Fermi-resonance is predicted between the first overtone of the bend and the fundamental of the metal-carbon stretch for both CuCN and AgCN. The heats of formation at 0 K are predicted from their calculated atomization energies to be 89.8, 88.6, and 104.5 kcal mol(-1) for CuCN, AgCN, and AuCN, respectively.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 October 2014.
All research outputs
#24,756,754
of 34,364,397 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Chemical Physics
#14,269
of 24,300 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#178,863
of 248,851 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Chemical Physics
#58
of 116 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,364,397 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 24,300 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 248,851 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 116 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
