Accurate Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of Azulene and Its Derivatives by Means of Pisa Composite Schemes and Vibrational Perturbation Theory to Second Order.

The structural and spectroscopic properties in the gas phase of azulene and some of its N-bearing derivatives have been analyzed by a general computational strategy based on the recent Pisa composite schemes (PCSs). First of all, an accurate semiexperimental equilibrium structure has been derived for azulene and employed to validate the geometrical parameters delivered by different quantum chemical methods. Next, different isomerization energies (azulene to naphthalene, 1-aza-azulene to quinoline and to other isomers) have been computed by an explicitly correlated PCS version employing frozen natural orbitals.

Accurate Geometries of Large Molecules at DFT Cost by Semiexperimental and Coupled Cluster Templating Fragments.

Accurate geometries of small semirigid molecules in the gas phase are available thanks to high-resolution spectroscopy and accurate quantum chemical approaches. These results can be employed for validating cheaper low-level quantum chemical models or correcting the corresponding structures of large molecules. On these grounds, in this work, a large panel of semiexperimental equilibrium structures already available in the literature is used to confirm the average error (1 mÅ for bond lengths and 2 mrad for valence angles) of a version of the Pisa composite schemes (PCS2), which is applicable to molecules containing up to about 20 atoms.

Accurate structures and rotational constants of bicyclic monoterpenes at DFT cost by means of the bond-corrected Pisa composite scheme (BPCS).

The structural, conformational, and spectroscopic properties in the gas phase of 20 bicyclic monoterpenes and monoterpenoids have been analyzed by a new accurate, reduced-cost computational strategy. In detail, the revDSD-PBEP86 double-hybrid functional in conjunction with the D3BJ empirical dispersion corrections and a suitable triple-zeta basis set provides accurate geometrical parameters, whence equilibrium rotational constants, which are further improved by proper account of core-valence correlation. Average deviations within 0.

An Environmental Scan of Tools That Help Individuals Living With Mild Cognitive Impairment or Neurocognitive Disorders Achieve Their Preferred Health or Well-Being.

Background And Objectives: Older adults experiencing neurocognitive disease (NCD) contend with complex care often characterized by high emotional strain. Mitigating complex care with decision support tools can clarify options. When used in conjunction with the practice of shared decision making (SDM), these tools can improve satisfaction and confidence in treatment.
