The geometries. relative stabilities, proton affinities and ionization properties of some 2-substituted benzimizadole derivatives and their tired forms. (i.e. model compounds in which proton migration is eliminated) were calculated with full geometry optimization using AM1, PM3. MNDO and MINDO/3 methods in gas phase. It was established that AM1 method correlates better with experimental data than that of PM3, MNDO. and MINDO/3 methods. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
