Quantum Chemical Investigations of the Mechanism of Cationic Polymerization and Theoretical Prediction of Crystal Densities and Decomposition Pathways of Energetic Molecules.
Abstract
This paper discusses: Program Enhancements and New Program Developments on the CRAY Supercomputer; MRD-CI Calculations for Cationic Polymerization of Energetic Oxetanes; Ab-Initio MRD-CI Calculations for Breaking a Chemical Bond in a Molecule in a Crystal; or Other Solid Environment POLY-CRYST; This past year we have made a significant breakthrough. We developed and implemented and used successfully the strategy for ab-initio MRD-CI(multireference double excitation - configuration interaction) calculations for breaking a chemical bond in a molecule in a crystal or other solid environment. Keywords: Cationic polymerization; Energetic polymers; Oxetanes; Quantum chemical calculations; Configuration interaction (CI); Multi-Reference double excitation - Configuration interaction.
