Abstract. A theoretical treatment is used to perform conformational studies of title compounds, which was previously successfully used within our group for characterization of fragmentation patterns of some bio-molecules. Now we present studies of electron impact ionization of 2 Furanmethanol, Tetrahydro  (C5H10O2) and 3-Furanol, Tetrahydro  (C4H8O2), both as important models for more complicated compounds like nucleic acids. In this paper geometry of the neutral and cationic conformers of these two molecules was optimized on the DFT level with B3LYP functional, and ionization energies were estimated. DFT calculated results are supplemented with G3MP2 calculations, and a set of higher-level ab initio methods were empirically corrected to obtain more reliable results.

KVANTNO-HEMIJSKI PRORAČUNI PODUKATA I ENERGIJA PRI ELEKTRONIMA INDUKOVANOJ JONIZACIJI
2-FURANMETHANOL, TETRAHYDRO-I 3-FURANOL, TETRAHYDRO MOLEKULA
Studija molekula navedenih u naslovu rada je urađena pomoću teorijskog postupka koji je ranije uspešno korišćen za karakterizaciju fragmentacije nekih biomolekula. Ovde razmatramo elektronima indukovanu jonizaciju 2 Furanmethanol, Tetrahydro  (C5H10O2) i 3-Furanol, Tetrahydro  (C4H8O2) molekula, koji predstavljaju modele kompleksnijih jedinjenja kao što su nukleinske kiseline. Geometrija neutralnih i katjonskih konformera ova dva molekula je optimizovana u okviru DFT modela sa B3LYP funkcijama, pri čemu su procenjene i energije jonizacije. DFT rezultati su prošireni G3MP2 proračunima, zasnovanog na skupu ab initio metoda višeg nivoa, empirijski korigovanih kako bi se dobili realni rezultati.
