Calculations of products of the reaction of magnesium with carbon tetrachloride by the perturbation theory

Abstract

Accurate ab initio methods of quantum chemistry (MP4//MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ) are used to compute the structures of possible reaction products of the reaction Mg + CCl4. It is found that along with the usual Grignard reagent CCl3MgCl, a formation of the compound CCl2MgCl2 with lower energy is expected. A molecule of the bi-magnesium complex CCl3MgMgCl presents another stable compound of unusual structure. Realization of perturbation theory methods in the program PC GAMESS is briefly described.
