Planar (D6h) benzene has one (1181i cm-1, b2g) and three (1844i cm-1, b2g; 462i cm-1, e2u) imaginary vibrational frequencies at the MP2/6-311++G (d,p) and MP2/6-311++G levels of theory, respectively! The spurious frequencies correspond to D3d chair (b2g) and C2v boat (e2u) out-of-plane distortions.
The observed failure of electron correlation methods with unbalanced basis sets to predict planar minima is not unique to benzene but is also found for other pi-delocalized molecules, including pyridine, naphthalene, anthracene, the cyclopentadienyl and indenyl anions, and the tropylium cation.

This conclusion is based on analysis of geometry changes in the analogues of naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, and triphenylene, where benzene rings are systematically replaced with a quasi-ring formed as a beta-ketoenol or beta-ketoenolate complex with a lithium cation, i.e., where CH-CH-CH fragments are replaced with O...Li...O or O...H...O fragments.
These systems were optimized at the MP2/6-31G (2d,p) level of theory.

On the other hand, kinetic measurements based on monitoring the concentrations of enediyne reactants and naphthalene products provide reliable general trends that include the parent benzannelated enediyne.
A comparison of theory and experiment suggests that computations at the Moeller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2)/6-31G level provide an excellent alternative to DFT when an accurate description of the contribution of noncovalent interactions to the activation energy is needed.

A benchmark theoretical study of the electronic ground state and of the vertical and adiabatic singlet-triplet (ST) excitation energies of benzene (n=1) and n-acenes (C (4n+2) H (2n+4)) ranging from naphthalene (n=2) to heptacene (n=7) is presented, on the ground of single- and multireference calculations based on restricted or unrestricted zero-order wave functions.
Singlet-triplet (S (0)-T (1)) energy gaps can therefore be very accurately determined by applying the principles of a focal point analysis onto the results of a series of single-point and symmetry-restricted calculations employing correlation consistent cc-pVXZ basis sets (X=D, T, Q, 5) and single-reference methods [HF, MP2, MP3, MP4SDQ, CCSD, CCSD (T)] of improving quality.

The characteristics of the interaction between the pi cloud of naphthalene and up to two H2O or H2S molecules were studied.
Calculations at the MP2 level employing large basis sets should be avoided because they produce highly overestimated interaction energies, especially for hydrogen sulfide complexes.

A benchmark theoretical determination of the electron affinities of benzene and linear oligoacenes ranging from naphthalene to hexacene is presented, using the principles of a focal point analysis.
These energy differences have been obtained from a series of single-point calculations at the Hartree-Fock, second-, third-, and partial fourth-order Moller-Plesset (MP2, MP3, and MP4SDQ) levels and from coupled cluster calculations including single and double excitations (CCSD) as well as perturbative estimates of connected triple excitations [CCSD (T)], using basis sets of improving quality, containing up to 1386, 1350, 1824, 1992, 1630, and 1910 basis functions in the computations, respectively.

Theoretical BDEs are determined from single point energy calculations at the MP2 (full)/6-311+G (2d,2p) level using the B3LYP/6-31G* geometries.
The trends in the BDEs of these alkali metal cation-indole complexes are compared with the analogous benzene and naphthalene complexes to examine the influence of the extended pi network and heteroatom on the strength of the cation-pi interaction.

The ab initio calculations using G3 (MP2)//B3LYP method were performed for peribridged naphthalenes in order to determine how the strain of the four-membered ring is influenced by the type of bridge linking 1,8 positions.
We have tried to identify and distinguish the strain effect on the electronic structure of the naphthalene moiety.
