Abstract
The work is focused on the characterization of a long-range interacting complex in the reaction between atomic oxygen, in its ground state O(3P) and acrylonitrile CH2CHCN, also known as vinyl cyanide or cyano ethylene, through electronic structure calculations. Different ab initio methods have been used in order to understand which functional provides a better description of the long-range interaction. The results of the work suggest that B2PLYPD3 gives the best description of the long-range interaction, while CAM-B3LYP represents the best compromise between chemical accuracy and computational cost.
