Geom. 4 46 Chapter 2 O. Borodin and G. D. Smith The dipole moment and dipole polarizability were calculated for the most important DME conformers and are summarized in Table 5. The ttt conformer has a zero dipole moment, because the dipole moments of the monomers are antiparallel. The tgg conformer has the largest dipole moment. 63 Debye, suggesting that we can expect strong electrostatic interactions of most of the conformers with ions and polar liquids like water. The B3LYP/aug-cc-pvDz level yields DME dipole moments ~5-20 % lower than the HF/D95+(2df,p)//HF/D95** level48 in accord with the aforementioned investigation of the basis set and a level of theory on the dimethyl ether dipole moment.

They also found that it was important to include polarization functions beyond the minimum representation. 3 kcal/mol. 48 Table 1 lists only the lowest energy conformers. 50 after careful comparison of the existing RIS models against available experimental data, concluded that the RIS model based on MP2/D95+(2df,p)//HF/D95** conformational energies provided a reasonable depiction of DME in the gas phase. 45 Despite the MP2/D95+(2df,p)//HF/D95** level conformational energies being successful in reproducing electron diffraction data, NMR vicinal coupling data,48,50 and tg+g- conformer energy from IR spectra, we wish to continue ab initio studies of DME conformational energies in order to answer three additional questions: a) What is the influence of the level of theory (HF, MP2, DFT-methods) that is used in geometry optimization on the conformational energies?
