Characteristic features of the positron binding structure of some nitrile (–CN functional group) species such as acetonitrile, cyanoacetylene, acrylonitrile, and propionitrile are discussed with the configuration interaction scheme of multi-component molecular orbital calculations. This method can take the electron–positron correlation contribution into account through single electronic–single positronic excitation configurations. Our PA value of acetonitrile with the electronic 6-31++G(2df,2pd) and positronic [15s15p3d2f1g] basis set is calculated as 4.96 mhartree, which agrees to within 25% with the recent experimental value of 6.6 mhartree by Danielson et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett., 2010, 104, 233201]. Our PA values of acrylonitrile and propionitrile (5.70 and 6.04 mhartree) are the largest among these species, which is consistent with the relatively large dipole moments of the latter two systems.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
