Parameters of MNDO method for Zn atom

  • 1. Novosibirsk Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry (USSR)

Description

A parametrization of the MNDO method for the Zn atom is proposed. Calculations are performed for zinc-containing molecules and simple complexes. It is shown that the use of the parameters found in this study leads to more accurate estimates of enthalpies of formation of zinc compounds that can be obtained in MNDO calculations with Dewar's parameters. From a comparison of results of the calculations with experimental values and with data obtained in ab initio calculations, it is concluded that the MNDO method can be used in investigating various physicochemical properties of Zn compounds
