37. The estimated differences between trans and gauche forms was found to be strongly dependent upon the particular basis set being employed. The optimal values yielded 1.77 THz for the gauche form with respect to the trans, which compares reasonably well with the experimental estimate of 1.26 THz. The binding energy of a trans-gauche dimer was calculated at the (Formula presented) level. Three different molecular configurations were located in an optimization scheme. A series of calculations of the free-molecule frequencies was carried out by means of quantum-chemical ab initio methods at several levels of sophistication. It was found that large basis sets including polarization and diffuse functions were needed in order to reproduce the experimental, gas-phase frequencies. The quoted values correspond to harmonic frequencies as calculated from the solution of the full molecular vibrational problem employing the basis sets due to D. E. Woon and T. H. Dunning, Jr., J.
