An ab initio implementation of the vibronic coupling theory of Ñafie and Freedman is described and applied to the computationof vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) intensities of (S)-2-deuteriooxirane,(S, S)-2, 3-dideuteriooxirane, and (5)-2, 2, 3-trideuteriooxirane. The theory is found to reproduce the published spectral features of (S, S)-2, 3-dideuteriooxirane very well if the basis set incorporates derivatives of the normal set of basis functions. A suitable basis set, based on the standard 6-3 lg set and designated6-31g (-2s, 2p, 2pH), is proposed. The 6-31g (-2s, 2p, 2pH) basisset is found to yield a geometry for oxirane that is closer to the microwave structure than obtained by optimization with the comparably sized 6-31G** set. Uniform scaling or limited nonuniform scaling of the 6-3 lg (-2s, 2p, 2pH) force constants permit excellent agreement (< 1% error) with observed vibrational frequencies of oxirane and tetradeuteriooxirane. Quite satisfactory agreement with the measured IR intensities for these two compounds is also obtained. Scaling of the force constants in a nonuniform manner has a slightly adverse effect on calculated IR intensities, suggesting that the ab initio normal modes may be preferable. The APT theory of VCD intensities introduced by Ñafie and Freedman has been tested against the vibronic coupling theory. Ab initio atomic polar tensors that accurately reproduce the IR spectrum of oxirane and the dt species were employed. The APT theory was found to have little predictive capability except possibily in the CD and CH stretching region of the spectrum. The full IR spectra of all of the deuterated isotopomers of oxirane and the VCD spectra of all of the chiral species are predicted.
