Figure 4
Gas-phase conformational energy profile for rotation about the central dihedral angle of molecule XXXI as computed with B86bPBE-XDM (purple) and DLPNO-CCSD(T1) (gray), and the difference between the two (green). For comparison, the figure also plots the energy differences between the DFT and coupled cluster models for each of the conformations found in the set of crystals as a function of the d2 dihedral angle (blue circles). For consistency with the crystal results in Fig. 2, all energies here are plotted relative to the molecular conformation found in the form B crystal (red circle). |
