Make a plot of bond distance versus energy for the restricted and unrestricted method scans of methane for the HF, MP2, MP4, and QCISD(T) levels. 

For each system, plot the bond distance versus energy for each of the reported levels of theory. For CH, this will mean plotting the HF, MP2, MP3, and full MP4 (i.e., MP4(SDTQ)) energies at each point. For methane, include the HF, MP2, MP3, lull MP4, QCISD, and QCISD(T) levels. 

Still, the reasons for this success were not quite clear for instance, the good performance of the method in reproducing the equilibrium C—H bond distance in methane was thought to depend on fortuitous cancellation of the nuclear repulsion and of the change in...

The simplest iodoalkane, CH3I, has been studied repeatedly by MW and ED (Table 43). The re value for the C—I distance from a combined MW/IR investigation and the rg value which is reported in a recent ED analysis of the entire series of the iodomethanes CH I, n = 1 to 4, are in perfect agreement. The gas-phase studies for the methanes with two or more iodines were performed at 360 K for CH2I2, at 400 K for CHI3 and at 425 K for CI4. Within the combined experimental uncertainties the C—I bond distances remain constant for mono-, di- and triiodomethane and increases by ca 3 pm in carbon tetraiodide. As in the case of carbon tetrachloride and tetrabromide, this increased bond length in CI4 can be rationalized by steric repulsions between the iodine atoms. The large steric requirement of... 

Use SpartanView to examine transition states for the reactions of Br with methane, 2-methylpropane, and propene. How do the breaking C-H bond distances vary Account for this variation using the Hammond postulate. 

Other coordination modes involve variation of the atoms directly bonded to the metal center. Scheme 11.1 illustrates these modes using methane as the hydrocarbon. In addition to the r 2-C,H coordination mode, coordination of C—H bonds is possible via a linear p -H linkage, k2-H,H, or k3-H,H,H. The p -H coordination mode with relatively long M—H bond distances and large M—H—C bond angles ( 110-170°) has been labeled an anagostic interaction.
