Materials Data on HCNO by Materials Project

CNHO is alpha oxygen structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four cyanuric acid molecules. there are two inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two N3- and one O2- atom. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.38 Å. The C–O bond length is 1.23 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent N3- and one O2- atom. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.38 Å. The C–O bond length is 1.23 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two C4+ and one H1+ atom. The N–H bond length is 1.03 Å. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent C4+ and one H1+ atom. The N–H bond length is 1.03 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom.

Tests of the DFT Ladder for the Fulminic Acid Challenge

Properties of the historically pivotal fulminic acid (HCNO) molecule have been computed with a panoply of 473 density functionals of all varieties, providing a snapshot of the performance of contemporary density functional theory (DFT) for a challenging chemical system. Exhaustive tabulations and statistical analyses have been carried out for geometric parameters, vibrational frequencies, barriers to linearity, and the HCN–O dissociation energy. As the DFT ladder is climbed, confusion rather than consensus ensues regarding the details of the distinctive, extremely flat H–C–N bending potential of fulminic acid and whether the equilibrium structure is linear or bent. While high-ranking DFT functionals produce the smallest errors for the HCN + O( 3 P) → HCNO reaction energy, lower rungs emerge as the best performers for many of the bond distances and harmonic vibrational frequencies. This research shows that the current DFT zoo of approximations does not constitute a transparent ladder of increasingly accurate methods that consistently converges on definitive predictions for various properties of HCNO. Additional analyses are performed on the side effects of popular dispersion corrections on the covalently bonded properties and thermochemistry of HCNO.
