摘要: A stochastic search of the potential energy surface for formic acid dimers results in 21 well-defined minima. number structures are reported here first time, others have already been experimentally detected or computationally predicted. Four types different hydrogen bonds (HBs) at play stabilizing clusters: primary C=O⋯ H-O and H-O⋯ H-O secondary C=O⋯ H-C H-O⋯ H-C HBs corresponding to well-characterized bonding paths identified. novel C=O⋯ C interaction is also reported. The double proton transfer reaction calculated occur a synchronous fashion, with an barrier smaller than needed break up dimers.
