Hydrogen peroxide (the simplest example of chiral molecule in its equilibrium geometry) is modeled as rigid except for the torsional mode around the O-O bond. However, on the basis of previous work (Maciel, G. S.; et al. Chem. Phys. Lett. 2006 432, 383), the internal mode description is based, rather than on the vectors of the usual valence picture, on the orthogonal local representation, which was demonstrated useful for molecular dynamics simulations, because the torsion around the vector joining the center-of-mass of the two OH radicals mimics accurately the adiabatic reaction path for chirality changing isomerization, following the torsional potential energy profile from equilibrium through the barriers for the trans and cis geometries. The basic motivation of this work is the determination of potential energy surfaces for the interactions to be used in classical and quantum simulations of molecular collisions, specifically those leading to chirality changes of possible relevance in the modeling of prebiotic phenomena. Particular attention is devoted to the definition of coordinates and expansion formulas for the potentials, allowing for a faithful representation of geometrical and symmetry properties of these systems, prototypical of the interaction of an atom with a floppy molecule.. %T The Hydrogen Peroxide-Rare Gas Systems: Quantum Chemical Calculations and Hyperspherical Harmonic Representation of the Potential Energy Surface for Atom-Floppy Molecule Interactions %@secondarytype PRE PI %@visibility shown %@group LAP-INPE-MCT-BR %@secondarykey INPE-15044-PRE/9955 %@copyholder SID/SCD %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m17@80/2007/12.05.16.19.07 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto de Física, Universidade de Brasília (UNB) %@affiliation Dipartimento di Chimica, Università di Perugia %@affiliation Dipartimento di Chimica, Università di Perugia %@affiliation Dipartimento di Chimica, Università di Perugia %@affiliation Dipartimento di Chimica, Università di Perugia %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m17@80/2007/12.05.16.19 %D 2007 %V x %@doi 10.1021/jp076268v %A Barreto, Patrícia Regina Pereira, %A Vilela, Alessandra F.
