In this chapter, we will study the elementary reaction steps of these mechanisms focusing primarily on the anthraphos systems. This chapter begins with a description of the impact of different methods (coupled cluster, configuration interaction and various DFT functionals), different basis sets, and phosphine substituents on the oxidative addition of methane to a related Ir system, [CpIr(III)(PH3)Me]+. Then, it compares the elementary reaction steps, including the effect of reaction conditions such as temperature, hydrogen pressure, alkane and alkene concentration, phosphine substituents and alternative metals (Rh). Finally, it considers how these elementary steps constitute the reaction mechanisms. Additional computational details are provided at the end of the chapter. 

Having established the most important concepts for MQS, the next step is to actually compute the numerical values associated with the quantum similarity measures. Electron densities can naturally be obtained from many quantum chemical methods such as DFT, Hartree-Fock, configuration interaction, and many more, even from experiment. 

Larsson and co-workers have used relation (18) to calculate Tjb for organic molecules in which two centers are bridged by saturated groups [65,66], and for mixed valence systems [67]. The stationary states /i and /2 are determined by a CNDO/S method, with extensive configuration interaction and use of semi-empirical parameters. The nuclear configuration Q where relation (18) is valid is adjusted so as to satisfy the delocalization property expressed by (17). These... 

There may be special difficulties in reactions where the ordering of orbitals centred on the metal changes along the actual reaction path, because of configuration interaction and the non-crossing rule for states. 

Basis sets for use in practical Hartree-Fock, density functional, Moller-Plesset and configuration interaction calculations make use of Gaussian-type functions. Gaussian functions are closely related to exponential functions, which are of the form of exact solutions to the one-electron hydrogen atom, and comprise a polynomial in the Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) followed by an exponential in r. Several series of Gaussian basis sets now have received widespread use and are thoroughly documented. A summary of all electron basis sets available in Spartan is provided in Table 3-1. Except for STO-3G and 3 -21G, any of these basis sets can be supplemented with additional polarization functions and/or with diffuse functions. It should be noted that minimal (STO-3G) and split-valence (3-2IG) basis sets, which lack polarization functions, are unsuitable for use with correlated models, in particular density functional, configuration interaction and Moller-Plesset models. Discussion is provided in Section II.

The d5 configuration presents a special problem in that it is a 6S state, and Eqs. (72), (75), and (76) predict that gz=gx=gy =2.0023 and D = E=0 for any crystal field. Experimentally, these ions have g values close to 2.0023 but never exactly. Further these ions have appreciable values for D. It has been found necessary to use configuration interaction and higher-order-perturbation theory (14, 19) to account for this. 

Electron correlation effects are expected to play an important role in determining optical nonlinearities. Both the configuration interaction and Moeller-Plesset perturbation correction approaches have been used to incorporate electron-correlation effects (26,27) ...

Configuration interaction and stationary wavefunctions In order to simplify the treatment, a correlated wavefunction P(r)corr built by Cl between two uncorrelated wavefunctions will be considered. (To shorten the notations, the tilde describing the antisymmetric character of the wavefunctions and the spin of the electron have been omitted, and the spatial vectors of all electrons are indicated by the symbol r only.) One has... 

First let us review static and dynamic electron correlation. Dynamic (dynamical) electron correlation is easy to grasp, if not so easy to treat exhaustively. It is simply the adjustment by each electron, at each moment, of its motion in accordance with its interaction with each other electron in the system. Dynamic correlation and its treatment with perturbation (Mpller-Plesset), configuration interaction, and coupled cluster methods was covered in Section 5.4. 

Instantaneous correlation can be taken into account either by mixing ground state with excited state wavefunctions (configuration interaction and Moller-Plesset models) or by introducing explicitly approximate correction terms [density functional theory (DFT) models].
