Coulomb integrals method

Numerical integration methods are widely used to solve these integrals. The Gauss-Miihler method [28] is employed in all of the calculations used here. This method is a Gaussian quadrature [29] which gives exact answers for Coulomb scattering. 

In fact, the Coulomb integrals discussed in Section IV.C are available in contemporary quantum chemistry packages. We do not really need to develop our own method to calculate them. However, it is necessary to master the algebra so that we can calculate the matrix elements of the derivatives of the Coulomb potential. In the following, we shall demonstrate the evaluation of these matrix elements. 

The problem of electrophilic substitution into the anilinium ion has been examined by the methods of m.o. theory. Attempts to simulate the --inductive effect in Hiickel M.o. theory by varying the Coulomb integral of C(j) (the carbon atom to which the NH3+ group is attached) remove 7r-electrons from the o- and -positions and add them to the... 

The CNDO method has been modified by substitution of semiempirical Coulomb integrals similar to those used in the Pariser-Parr-Pople method, and by the introduction of a new empirical parameter to differentiate resonance integrals between a orbitals and tt orbitals. The CNDO method with this change in parameterization is extended to the calculation of electronic spectra and applied to the isoelectronic compounds benzene, pyridine, pyri-dazine, pyrimidine and pyrazine. The results obtained were refined by a limited Cl calculation, and compared with the best available experimental data. It was found that the agreement was quite satisfactory for both the n TT and n tt singlet transitions. The relative energies of the tt and the lone pair orbitals in pyridine and the diazines are compared and an explanation proposed for the observed orders. Also, the nature of the lone pairs in these compounds is discussed.

While in principle all of the methods discussed here are Hartree-Fock, that name is commonly reserved for specific techniques that are based on quantum-chemical approaches and involve a finite cluster of atoms. Typically one uses a standard technique such as GAUSSIAN-82 (Binkley et al., 1982). In its simplest form GAUSSIAN-82 utilizes single Slater determinants. A basis set of LCAO-MOs is used, which for computational purposes is expanded in Gaussian orbitals about each atom. Exchange and Coulomb integrals are treated exactly. In practice the quality of the atomic basis sets may be varied, in some cases even including d-type orbitals. Core states are included explicitly in these calculations. 

The three-dimensional crystal can be treated by a straightforward generalization of the method outlined above (6). A simple cubic lattice is defined by three integers (wii, rrii, m3), which take the values 0, 1,. . . , N. A free (100) surface is defined by the plane mi = 0, and the Coulomb integral is changed from a to a for all atoms in this plane. The wave functions are assumed to vanish on the other five surfaces of a cube. The wave function coefficients are given by... 

With very, very large systems, fast-multipole methods analogous to those described in Section 2.4.2 can be used to reduce the scaling of Coulomb integral evaluation to linear... 

In most semi-empirical methods, the correlation energy is partially offset by replacing the actual coulomb integrals by some empirical expressions. These are designed in such a way as to reproduce experimental data in limiting cases and can hopefully be interpolated. The general framework of the methods, however, remains essentially similar to the ab initio Hartree-Fock procedures.
