 WebMO  

WebMO  is  a  WWW-­‐based  interface  for  computa5onal  chemistry  so9ware    Key  features    •  Supports  Gaussian  09  and  many  other  computa4onal  

engines  •  Allows  for  drawing  of  molecules,  submiLng  calcula4ons,  

running  jobs  and  viewing  results  using  a  web  browser  •  Simple  enough  for  undergraduate  computa4onal  chemistry  

educa4onal/research  projects  •  Flexible  enough  for  advanced  computa4onal  chemistry  

research  projects

Applica9on  for  undergraduate  research  

•  Case  study  using  nitric  oxide  (NO):  comparison  of  physical/chemical  proper4es  of  nitroxyl  anion  (NO-­‐),  NO  and  nitrosonium  (NO+)  

Ø  geometry  op4miza4ons  Ø  calcula4on  of  vibra4onal  frequencies  Ø  calcula4on  of  molecular  orbitals  

 

•  OBJECTIVE:    subtrac4ng/adding  an  electron  into  an  ANTIBONDING  ORBITAL  (using  NO  as  an  example),  predict  effects  on  

Ø  bond  length,    Ø  IR  stretching  freq,    Ø  nature  of  the  HOMO/LUMO
