Abstract
Heats of formation (∆Hf) of various nitro-substituted azoles were predicted by Gaussian-4 MP2 combining with systematic fragmentation method (SFM), G4MP2-SFM. The overall mean absolute deviations and root-mean-square deviations of the particular opt-G4SFM(1,2) scheme are 2.0 and 2.6 kcal/mol, respectively, on the predictions of 48 molecules. Overall, each additional nitrogen in the azole ring increases ∆Hf by 10–30 kcal/mol. While the effect of the NO2 substitution to carbon (NO2(C)) is minor, that to nitrogen (NO2(N)) increases ∆Hf by 15–32 kcal/mol. In addition, we found that second-neighbor contribution is also significant for nonbonding interactions between NO2 groups, which increase ∆Hf by 3–4 kcal/mol.
