Atomic charges electrostatic

Other related chemical properties of organotin systems are also of recent interest, including dipole po-larisability and second hyperpolarisability, atomic charge, electrostatic potential, ionization potentials, electron affinities, and electronegativities. ... 

The interaction between two monomers that move nearer until a stable H-bond complex is formed provokes changes in their electron distribution which can be probed by comparing the electron properties of the complex with the monomer values. This study has been presented in this overview by means of ab initio quantum calculations for complexes linked by conventional N-H- - -O and O-H- - -O hydrogen bonds at different intermolecular distances R. The changes with the distance of a number of properties obtained from the electron density p(r), AIM and NBO atomic charges, electrostatic potentials C/(r), and the ELF rj(r) can be succinctly summarized as follows.

Molecular surfaces can express various chemical and physical properties, such as electrostatic potential, atomic charges or hydrophobicity, using colored mapping. 

If the MM+ option to n sc bond dipoles for nonbonded electrostatic calculation s is set, then MM-t-ignores atomic charges but uses dipole m om en ts supplied in its parameter set (in themmpstr. files ). 

MM+ calculations do not usually have an electrostatic charge-charge interaction nor define a set of atomic charges for atoms.

A cubic lattice is superimposed onto the solute(s) and the surrounding solvent. Values of the electrostatic potential, charge density, dielectric constant and ionic strength are assigned to each grid point. The atomic charges do not usually coincide with a grid point and so the... 

In addition to total energy and gradient, HyperChem can use quantum mechanical methods to calculate several other properties. The properties include the dipole moment, total electron density, total spin density, electrostatic potential, heats of formation, orbital energy levels, vibrational normal modes and frequencies, infrared spectrum intensities, and ultraviolet-visible spectrum frequencies and intensities. The HyperChem log file includes energy, gradient, and dipole values, while HIN files store atomic charge values. 

Energy, geometry, dipole moment, and the electrostatic potential all have a clear relation to experimental values. Calculated atomic charges are a different matter. There are various ways to define atomic charges. HyperChem uses Mulliken atomic charges, which are commonly used in Molecular Orbital theory. These quantities have only an approximate relation to experiment their values are sensitive to the basis set and to the method of calculation. 

Other reactions are controlled kinetically, and the most stable product is not the major one observed. In these cases, you must look at the reactant side of the reaction coordinate to discover factors determining the outcome. Klopman and Salem developed an analysis of reactivity in terms of two factors an electrostatic interaction approximated by atomic charges and a Frontier orbital interaction. Fleming s book provides an excellent introduction to these ideas.
