Nitroperoxoic acid OO‐(1‐hydroxyethenyl) is an isomer of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN).<br />

Molecular geometries, electronic energies, free‐energies, enthalpies, entropies,<br />

frequencies, and dipole moments of nitroperoxoic acid OO‐(1‐hydroxyethenyl) were obtained<br />

at the 6‐31G* and 6‐311++G** levels. Calculations were per<strong>for</strong>med using DFT (B3LYP) and<br />

MP2 methods. To find the lowest possible energy structure, relaxed potential energy surface<br />

scans were per<strong>for</strong>med. At the B3LYP/6‐311++G** level, the lowest energy structure was<br />

obtained as having an electronic energy of ‐508.7806498 hartrees. A comparison of other<br />

related compounds is also included.<br />
