MINDO/3 and MNDO Calculations for Nitro Compounds.

Abstract

The semiempirical molecular orbital calculational methods MINDO/3 and MNDO were compared to each other and to available experimental data for a number of nitroaliphatic and nitroaromatic compounds. In general, MINDO/3 predicted heats of formation, dipole moments ionization potentials better than MNDO. MNDO, however, predicted molecular geometries slightly better than MINDO/3 although both methods gave good estimates of the structural parameters. (Author)
