Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The molecular structure of thiourea has been investigated under the Cs, C2, and C2v symmetry constraints. At the coupled-cluster level in conjunction with a triple-zeta basis set, only the C2 conformer has been found to be a real minimum on the potential energy surface. Its equilibrium structure has then been accurately evaluated using both theoretical and experimental data. With respect to the former, high-level quantum-chemical calculations at the coupled-cluster level in conjunction with correlation-consistent basis sets ranging in size from triple- to quintuple-zeta have been carried out. Extrapolation to the complete basis-set limit as well as core-correlation effects and inclusion of full treatment of triple excitations in the cluster operator have been considered. Based on the vibrational ground-state rotational constants available for five isotopic species and the corresponding computed vibrational corrections, the semi-experimental equilibrium geometry of thiourea has also been determined for the first time.
