Chemical visualization

For all the different methods of chemical visualization, a lar e number of special techniques arc available, depending on the purpose of visualization. These software programs can be installed on a local computer or can be operated via the Internet. An ovemew of these programs is given in Section 2.12.3. 

One way to do so is to look at the normal mode corresponding to the imaginary frequency and determine whether the displacements that compose it tend to lead in the directions of the structures that you think the transition structure connects. The symmetry of the normal mode is also relevant in some cases (see the following example). Animating the vibrations with a chemical visualization package is often very useful. Another, more accurate way to determine what reactants and products the transition structure coimects is to perform an IRC calculation to follow the reaction path and thereby determine the reactants and products explicity this technique is discussed in Chapter 8. 

Some chemical visualization programs even plot this structure as two distinct molecules.

This expansion of the total electronic wavefunction is very compact, and provides a great deal of physical and chemical visuality. The spin-coupled structure (18) by itself reproduces with very reasonable accuracy all the features of a ground-state molecular potential energy surface. For example the spin-coupled function typically yields 85% of the observed binding energy, and equilibrium internuclear separations are accurate to 0.01 A. This function consequently dominates expansion (17) for all nuclear geometries. The various excited structures provide angular and other types of correlation as an extra quantitative refinement but do not alter the qualitative picture. 

The final topic in the discussion of basic properties of shape resonances Involves elgenchannel contour maps (36), or "pictures of unbound electrons. This is the continuum counterpart of contour maps of bound-state electronic wavefunctlons which have proven so valuable as tools of quantum chemical visualization and analysis. Indeed, the present example helps achieve a ptqrelcal picture of the...

There are two basic mechanisms for transporting a three-dimensional chemical visualization as Internet data as a file with geometric objects or as a chemical MIME structure file. MIME files have been discussed in the previous paragraphs. They offer full chemical information, but only severely limited display choices, restricted to what is available to the local helper application and which, furthermore, cannot be controlled by the author. The transport of information such as orbital shapes, other than atomic coordinates, is not possible with the standard chemical MIME formats. 

In addition to SECM visualization, it should be mentioned that high-resolution confocal techniques, based on fluorescence - and Raman spectroscopy, have proven effective for local chemical visualization, on a rapid timescale in the case of fluorescence. These techniques provide complementary information to SECM and, when combined with SECM, constitute powerful approaches for chemical mapping of electrode and interfacial processes.
