The potential energy surface of HPS2 system containing nine isomers and fifteen transition states is obtained at MP2/6-311++G(d, p) and QCISD(t)/6-311++G(3df, 2p)(single-point) levels. On the potential energy surface, the lowest-lying frans-HSPS(EI) is found to be thermodynami-cally the most stable isomer followed by cis-HSPS(E2) and HP(S)S(C2v, E3) at 3.43 and 14.17 kJ/mol higher, respectively. The computed results show that species E1, E2, E3, stereo HP(S)S(Cs, E4) with PSS three-membered ring, isomers trans-HPSS(E5) and cis-HPSS(E6) which coexist with E4 are kinetically stable isomers. The products E6 and E5 in the reaction of HP with S2 can be isomerized into higher kinetic stable isomer E4 with 65.75 and 71.73 kJ/mol reaction barrier height, respectively. The predicated results may correct the possible inaccurate conclusion in that the product was experimentally assigned as isomer cis-HPSS(E6).
Fifteen isomers of [Si,N,C,O]2+ system are obtained at UB3LYP/6-311G(d) and UCCSD(T)/6-311+G(2df) (single-point) levels. The analyses are made for predicting the structures of optimized isomers, while ionic fragments with lower energies are suggested. The calculated results indicate that linear isomer SiNCO2+(∏) is thermodynamically the most stable species in [Si,N,C,O]2+ system, followed by linear SiOCN2+ (∏), SiCNO2+ (∏), and SiC(NO) (2A″ ) with NCO three-membered ring. The order of stability of several kinetically stable isomers is SiNCO2 ＞ SiCNO2+ (NO)＞SiOCN2+ ＞ SiC(NO)2+＞OSiNC2+ (∏). The obtained results by analyzing the isomerizations and ionic fragment patterns show that the signal peaks of [Si,N,C,O]2+ are attributed to the contribution of linear SiNCO2+ species, which is metastable and can dissociate to the ionic fragments in the mass spectrometry experiments.
