摘要

Gas-phase formic acid exists primarily as a cyclic dimer. The mechanism of dimerization has been traditionally considered to be a synchronous process; however, recent experimental findings suggest a possible alternative mechanism by which two formic acid monomers proceed through an acyclic dimer to the cyclic dimer in a stepwise process. To investigate this newly proposed process of dimerization in formic acid, density functional theory and second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) have been used t optimize cis and trans monomers of formic acid, the acyclic and cyclic dimers, and the acyclic and cyclic transition states between minima. Single-point energies of the trans monomer, dimer minima, and transition states at the MP2/TZ2P+diff optimized geometries were computed at the coupled-cluster level of theory including singles and doubles with perturbatively applied triple excitations [CCSD(T)] with an aug'-cc-pVTZ basis set to obtain an accurate determination of energy barriers and dissociation energies. A counterpoise correction was performed to determine an estimate of the basis set superposition error in computing relative energies. The explicitly correlated MP2 method of Kutzelnigg and Klopper (MP2-R12) was used to provide an independent means for obtaining the MP2 one-particle limit. The cyclic minimum is predicted to be 6.3 kcal/mol more stable than the acyclic minimum, and the barrier to double proton transfer is 7.1 kcal/mol.
