Basis sets, definition characteristics

Charge transfer (CT) contributions are somewhat neglected by the formal elaborations of the perturbation theory. We know that they have an important role in the interpretation of many reactions (see. e.g. Fukui [17] and Klopman [18]) and represent an important factor in specific, albeit limited, classes of noncovalent interactions. The reason of this neglection of CT terms in the development of the symmetry-adapted version of the perturbation theory is due to the fact that attention has been focussed on small systems for which it was possible to consider the monomeric basis set as sufficient to describe all the aspects of the interaction. The definition of the charge-transfer contribution given by the K-M procedure is also open to criticism. An alternative decomposition scheme (Weinhold et al. [19]) in fact indicates this contribution in a modified version as one of the most important in determining the characteristics of non-covalent interactions. The Weinhold analysis in turn has been the object of several criticisms. In our opinion the occurrence of interpretative theories in competition is a positive fact science should benefit from this competition, unless one of the theories is decidedly inferior. 

On equating the atomic radius to a characteristic atomic radius, r, a single curve of d vs D describes homonuclear covalent interaction, irrespective of bond order. Practical use of the formulae requires definition of a complex set of characteristic radii, which could be derived empirically [1] and was used subsequently to calculate molecular shape descriptors [2] and as the basis of a generalized Heitler-London procedure, valid for all pairwise covalent interactions [3,4], In all of these applications, interaction is correctly described by the dimensionless curves of Fig. 1. 

The orthogonal characteristic polynomials or eigenpolynomials Qn(u) play one of the central roles in spectral analysis since they form a basis due to the completeness relation (163). They can be computed either via the Lanczos recursion (84) or from the power series representation (114). The latter method generates the expansion coefficients q , -r through the recursion (117). Alternatively, these coefficients can be deduced from the Lanczos recursion (97) for the rth derivative Q /r(0) since we have qni r = (l/r )Q r(0) as in Eq. (122). The polynomial set Qn(u) is the basis comprised of scalar functions in the Lanczos vector space C from Eq. (135). In Eq. (135), the definition (142) of the inner product implies that the polynomials Qn(u) and Qm(u) are orthogonal to each other (for n= m) with respect to the complex weight function dk, as per (166). The completeness (163) of the set Q (u) enables expansion of every function f(u) e C in a series in terms of the... 

The main characteristics and peculiarities of this model are reported in Appendix 1. This automatic generation is performed quite simply on the basis of the definition of the different classes of primary reactions with the related small set of reference kinetic parameters, as reported in Table II. 

As introduced in Sect. 8.2.1, the roadmap of any QbD approach starts with the Target Product Proflle (TPP) definition this summary of drug characteristics (e.g., pharmacokinetic properties and stability) will serve as the basis for a set of performance parameters (e.g., immediate release drug 80 % in < 30 min, 36-month shelf life at room temperature, respectively) that, in turn, will be linked to a set of Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs e.g., shelf life will depend on the amount of residual solvents due to its impact on chemical stability release profile will depend on particle size for some drugs due to its impact on dissolution).
