Theoretical Study of Multidimensional Proton Tunnelling in Benzoic Acid Dimer

Abstract: Ab initio B3LYP/6-311++G** calculations have been carried out for the benzoic acid dimer for the stable and saddle point structures. The energy barrier for the proton tunneling amounts to 6.5 kcal/mol. The normal mode frequencies have been computed including modes coupled to the proton tun...
