Calculations contact semiempirical

We have previously defined the one-electron spin-density matrix in the context of standard HF methodology (Eq. (6.9)), which includes semiempirical methods and both the UHF and ROHF implementations of Hartree-Fock for open-shell systems. In addition, it is well defined at the MP2, CISD, and DFT levels of theory, which permits straightforward computation of h.f.s. values at many levels of theory. Note that if the one-electron density matrix is not readily calculable, the finite-field methodology outlined in the last section allows evaluation of the Fermi contact integral by an appropriate perturbation of the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian. 

Two rather specialized methods are available to measure contact angles less than approximately 60". The method of interference microscopy makes use of fringe patterns reflected from the drop surface to calculate the contact angle [13]. Fisher [14] obtained contact angles less than 30 by simultaneously measuring the mass of the drop and the radius of the three-phase line. The contact angle was then derived from a semiempirical relationship involving these two quantities. 

More subtle are the spin-orbit-induced heavy-atom chemical shifts at the atom nearest to the heavy one, or at more remote nuclei. If one uses the same Hamiltonians as Ramsey, one must go to third-order perturbation theory, with one Zeeman, one hyperfine, and one spin-orbit matrix element [22]. For a recent discussion on the nature of this shift, see Ref. [23]. It was also noted that an analogous effect, a heavy-atom shift on the heavy atom can occur, for instance on the Pb(II) nucleus in PbR compounds. The early semiempirical calculations suggested that the Zeeman-SO-Fermi contact cross term, zero in Ramsey s theory, could then become the dominant contribution to the Pb chemical shift [24]. 

R is the distance parameter, defining the upper limit of ion association. For spherical ions forming contact ion pairs it is simply the sum of the crystallographic radii of the ions, a = a+ + a, for solvent shared and solvent separated ion pairs it equals a+xora + 2x respectively, where x is the length of an oriented solvent molecule. For molecular ions the determination of the distance parameters a and R is more complicated the distances must be taken from experimental determinations or semiempirical quantum-mechanical calculations as shown in Ref [194]. For 1 1 salts the Debye parameter kd and Bjermm parameter qs are given by the... 

This semiempirical equation of state was proposed by Good [46] and allows the calculation of Ysw once the contact angle and oil/water interfacial tension are known.
