The energies of the selective adsorption resonances are very sensitive to the details of the physisorption potential. Accurate measurement allied to computation of bound state energies can be used to obtain a very accurate quantitative fonn for the physisorption potential, as has been demonstrated for helium atom scattering. For molecules, we have... 

The direct dissociation of diatomic molecules is the most well studied process in gas-surface dynamics, the one for which the combination of surface science and molecular beam teclmiques allied to the computation of total energies and detailed and painstaking solution of the molecular dynamics has been most successful. The result is a substantial body of knowledge concerning the importance of the various degrees of freedom (e.g. molecular rotation) to the reaction dynamics, the details of which are contained in a number of review articles [2, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 and 41].

Calculated transition structures may be very sensitive Lo the level of theory employed. Semi-empirical methods, since they are parametrized for energy miriimnm structures, may be less appropriate for transition state searching than ab initio methods are. Transition structures are norm ally characterized by weak partial" bonds, that is, being broken or formed. In these cases UHF calculations arc necessary, and sometimes even the inclusion of electron correlation effects. 

The UIIF wnive fimction can also apply to singlet molecules. F sn-ally, the results are the same as for the faster RHF method. That is, electron s prefer to pair, with an alpha electron sh arin g a m olecu lar space orbital with a beta electron.

In many molecular dynamics simulations, equilibration is a separate step that precedes data collection. Equilibration is generally necessary lo avoid introducing artifacts during the healing step an d to en su re th at the trajectory is aciii ally sim u laiin g eq u i librium properties. The period required for equilibration depends on the property of Interest and the molecular system. It may take about 100 ps for the system to approach equilibrium, but some properties are fairly stable after 1 0-20 ps. Suggested tim es range from. 5 ps to nearly 100 ps for medium-si/ed proteins. 

AMI is generally the most accurate computational method included in IlyperChem and is often the best method for collecting qiian tiiative in formation. PM3 is function ally similar to AM 1. but uses an alternative parameter set (see PM3" on page 150). 

The interaction potential (R) describes both bonding and non-bon ding in teraction s. Th e bon dm g interactions arc u snally form u -lated as a strain energy that is zero at some ideal configuration of the atoms and describe how the energy increases as the ideal con-figu ration is deform ed.

Although in teraetion s between vicinal I 4 atom s arc n om in ally treated as non bonded interactions, triost of the force fields treat these somewhat differently from normal 1 5 and greater non-bonded interactions. HyperCbern allows each of these 1 4 non-bonded interactions to be scaled down by a scale factor < 1.0 with AMBHR or OPI-S. bor HIO+ the electrostatic may be scaled and different param eters rn ay be ti sed for I 4 van dcr Waals interactions, fh e. AMBHR force field, for exam pie, n orrn a lly uses a seal in g factor of 0.5 for both van der Waals an d electrostatic interactions. 

Isolated gas ph ase molecules are th e sim plest to treat com pii tation -ally. Much, if not most, ch emistry lakes place in the liq iiid or solid state, however. To treat these condensed phases, you must simulate continnons, constant density, macroscopic conditions. The usual approach is to invoke periodic boundary conditions. These simulate a large system (order of 10" inoleeti les) as a contiruiotis replication in all direction s of a sm nII box, On ly th e m olceti Ics in the single small box are simulated and the other boxes arc just copies of the single box. 

To define the state yon want to calculate, you must specify the m u Itiplicity. A system with an even ii n m ber of electron s n sn ally has a closed-shell ground state with a multiplicity of I (a singlet). Asystem with an odd niim her of electrons (free radical) nsnally has a multiplicity of 2 (a doublet). The first excited state of a system with an even ii nm ber of electron s usually has a m n Itiplicity of 3 (a triplet). The states of a given m iiltiplicity have a spectrum of states —the lowest state of the given multiplicity, the next lowest state of the given multiplicity, and so on. 

The next step in iin proving a basis set could be to go to triple zeta, quadruple zeta, etc. Ifone goes in this direction rather than adding functions of higher angular quantum number, the basis set would not be well balanced. With a large number of s and p functions only, one finds, for example, that the equilibrium geometry of am monia actually becomes planar.

NOTE In order to make this as painless as possible, please observe the following recommendations 1) Keep the mixing bowl temperature as close to OC or less as possible 2) Keep the Hypochlorite solution as it is being added as close to OC or less as possible 3) After half the Hypochlorite solution has been added, place a plastic bag with 50-1 OOg ice/salt/water mix into the bowl to help keep temperatures low (use this instead of directly adding ice to the reactants, which adds a considerable volume of water making the process less volumetric ally efficient) 4) Purchase an 81b bag of ice ahead of time ...
