Ab Initio Calculations of the Rotational Barriers in H2Te2 and (CH3)2Te2

Ab Initio Calculations of the Rotational Barriers in H2Te2 and (CH3)2Te2 The heights of the rotational barriers of the ditelluride bridge in H2Te2 and (CH3)2Te2 have been calculated at the Hartree–Fock level with the 3‐21G basis set. The minima in the rotational potential energy functions occur at torsional angles of 87.58° and 89.32°, respectively. The barriers were determined by complete geometry optimization at each point along the potential surface. In addition, preliminary results on the stability of H2Te2 are reported. The molecule is found to be stable with respect to dissociation into H2Te + Te or H2 + Te2. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract

The heights of the rotational barriers of the ditelluride bridge in H2Te2 and (CH3)2Te2 have been calculated at the Hartree–Fock level with the 3‐21G basis set. The minima in the rotational potential energy functions occur at torsional angles of 87.58° and 89.32°, respectively. The barriers were determined by complete geometry optimization at each point along the potential surface. In addition, preliminary results on the stability of H2Te2 are reported. The molecule is found to be stable with respect to dissociation into H2Te + Te or H2 + Te2. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 8: 199–202, 1997.
