Abstract

High level ab initio, up to RCCSD(T), and B3LYP calculations were employed to calculate thermochemical properties for KOH and KOH+. Basis sets were of both all-electron and effective core potential (ECP) types: in both cases large, flexible valence basis sets were used, and the largest basis sets were of quintuple-zeta quality. Both KOH and KOH+ were found to be linear; in the latter case, the Renner-Teller effect is discussed. The results are close to convergence with regard to both basis sets and levels of theory. The most reliable quantities are: first AIE(KOH)=7.38+/-0.02 eV; D-0(K...OH)=82+/-1 kcal mol(-1); D-0(K+...OH)=11.4+/-1 kcal mol(-1); DeltaH(f)(KOH, 298 K) = -53+/-1 kcal mol(-1); and DeltaH(f)(KOH+, 298 K)=119+/-1 kcal mol(-1).
