The first application of the density functional theory (DFT) to the calculation of atomic axial tensors (AATs) is reported. Analytical derivative methods and gauge-invariant atomic orbitals (GIAOs) are employed. DFT/GIAO AATs for trans-2,3 d(2)-oxirane calculated using a [8s6p3d/6s3p] basis set and the Becke 3-Lee-Yang-Parr hybrid density functional, in combination with a DFT harmonic force field and atomic polar tensors (APTs), yield vibrational rotational strengths in better agreement with experiment than comparable calculations at the Hartree-Fock level. The largest remaining deviations between theory and experiment are attributed to experimental error.
