摘要: Abstract Hybrid density functional calculations are used to locate 33 local minima on the potential energy surface of formic acid trimer. Additional computations performed for 14 lowest-energy structures assess their sensitivity enlarging basis set and varying functional. Energies enthalpies show that global minimum is a planar structure consisting dimer bound third monomer by strong O–H⋯O bond. However, planar, symmetric ring has lowest Gibbs free energy.
