Austin Model 1 structure calculation

As an alternative to ab initio methods, the semi-empirical quantum-chemical methods are fast and applicable for the calculation of molecular descriptors of long series of structurally complex and large molecules. Most of these methods have been developed within the mathematical framework of the molecular orbital theory (SCF MO), but use a number of simplifications and approximations in the computational procedure that reduce dramatically the computer time [6]. The most popular semi-empirical methods are Austin Model 1 (AMI) [7] and Parametric Model 3 (PM3) [8]. The results produced by different semi-empirical methods are generally not comparable, but they often do reproduce similar trends. For example, the electronic net charges calculated by the AMI, MNDO (modified neglect of diatomic overlap), and INDO (intermediate neglect of diatomic overlap) methods were found to be quite different in their absolute values, but were consistent in their trends. Intermediate between the ab initio and semi-empirical methods in terms of the demand in computational resources are algorithms based on density functional theory (DFT) [9]. [Pg.642]
