Atomic charge distribution for the

Let us now consider some general aspects of the atomic charge distributions. For the H atoms, the calculated natural atomic charges Qw are found to depend most strongly on whether the atom appears at a bridging H(p), terminal H(t), or BH2 extra H(x) position. Typical Ou values fall within the disjoint ranges... 

Figure 16. Net atomic charge distribution for the benzyl carbanion. The top two figures are for the metal complex, (NHs)2LiCH2C6H5, and indicate a net charge on the organic group of about —0.5 electron. The bottom two figures are for the isolated benzyl carbanion (83).

CNDO/INDO estimates of the net atomic charge distribution for the benzyl and fluorenyl carbanions are given in Figures 16 and 17 (25). The electrostatic potential energy distribution at 2.0 A above the mean plane for these distributions of point charges are shown in Figures 18 and 19. The electrostatic model predicts that the lithium atom would be located over the potential energy minima in the two carbanions— that is, on a normal to the fluorenyl plane that intersects the plane just inside the 9 position, and a normal to the mean benzylic plane that intersects the plane about 0.4 A for C(7) on the C(l)—C(7) bond. In fact, the observed position of the lithium atom is about 1.5 A from the pre-... 

Seiler and Dunitz point out that the main reason for the widespread acceptance of the simple ionic model in chemistry and solid-state physics is its ease of application and its remarkable success in calculating cohesive energies of many types of crystals (see chapter 9). They conclude that the fact that it is easier to calculate many properties of solids with integral charges than with atomic charge distributions makes the ionic model more convenient, but it does not necessarily make it correct. 

Marchi and co-workers [27,28] have applied Equation (1.79) in the context of classical MD by using a Fourier pseudo-spectral approximation of the polarization vector field. This approach provides a convenient way to evaluate the required integrals over all volume at the price of introducing in the extended Lagrangian a set of polarization field variables all with the same fictitious mass. They also recognized the cmcial requirement that both the atomic charge distribution and the position-dependent dielectric constant be continuous functions of the atomic positions and they devised suitable expressions for both.

Solid lines indicate increases and broken lines decreases in charge density respectively [101].

Figure 6.7 This figure comprises the radial functions shown already in Figure 6.1, in Hartree atomic units, pius those obtained for Gaussian nuclear charge distribution for the one-electron atom with Z = 170. Oniy in the case of a finite nucleus, quantum mechanical states of atoms with nuciear charges Z > c are defined (c 137.037 in Hartree atomic units).
