Determination of the structure and bond energies of NiO2 and CuO2

On the basis of extensive ab initio calculations, we estimate the metal-O2 binding energies of NiO2 and CuO2 to be 48 +/- 7 and 18 +/- 4 kcal/mol, respectively. We feel that the experimental estimate of 57 +/- 10 kcal/mol for the binding energy of NiO2 is slightly too large, while we are in complete agreement with the experimental estimate of 15 +10/-5 kcal/mol for CuO2. While the 1A1 ground state of NiO2 definitely has a side-on C(2v) structure, matrix isolation studies suggest that CuO2 has an end-on C(s) structure. Calculations at the coupled-cluster singles plus doubles level with a perturbational estimate of triple excitations, CCSD(T), produce a 2A2 state with C(2v) as a global minimum. However, the entire 2A-double prime ground-state surface is exceedingly flat, precluding a reliable determination of the gas-phase equilibrium structure.
