A currently popular alternative to the ah initio method is density functional theory, in which the energy is expressed in terms of the electron density rather than the wave-function itself. The advantage of this approach is that it is less demanding computationally, requires less computer time, and in some cases—particularly for d-metal complexes—gives better agreement with experimental values than other procedures. 

The authors carried out theoretical calculations on this system as well as on the [ (PMej) ] system to compare their reactivity with hexafluorobenzene. They found that the barrier for [ (liPr) ] is approximately 10 kJ/mol lower in energy than the corresponding barrier for the phosphine-bearing system. This value was in agreement with the different reactivity of both complexes but could not fully explain the large difference in reaction times. Density functional Theory (DFT) calculations also showed that the trans product is more stable than the cis product (total energies are respectively -130.9 and 91.1 kJ/mol), which was in agreement with the experimental values.

Greater access to relatively powerful computing capability has seen theoretical studies move even further into mainstream chemistry over the past 10 years. In particular, the availability of a multitude of computer programs that support density functional theory (DFT) has seen a variety of applications of relatively complex molecules and reactive intermediates that would not have been possible at the time of the last review. Individual applications of DFT will not be covered here however, specific examples will be included in subsequent sections where pertinent. 

The following sections are purposely separated into specific structural classes of square planar Pt" complexes of the general formulae Pt(NAN)(C=CR)2, [Pt(NANAN) (OCR)]+, Pt(NANAC)(C=CR), rra s-Pt(PR3)2(OCR)2, and d.v-Pt(PAP)(( =CR)2, where NAN is a bidentate 2,2 -bipyridine, NANAN and NANAC are tridentate polypyridines, PR3 is a monodentate phosphine, and PAP is a bidentate phosphine ligand. The final section of this work is dedicated to recent electronic structure calculations on these molecules with an emphasis on the successful application of DFT (density functional theory) and TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) methods towards understanding the absorption and emission processes of these chromophores. 

This equation defines the TDKS potentials Ajo implicitly in terms of the functionals A[j] and A,[j]. Clearly, Eq. (137) is rather complicated. The external-potential terms 5 and J are simple functionals of the density and the paramagnetic current density. The complexity of Eq. (137) arises from the fact that the density, Eq. (128), and the paramagnetic currents, Eqs. (129), (134), are complicated functionals of j. Hence a formulation directly in terms of the density and the paramagnetic current density would be desirable. For electrons in static electromagnetic fields, Vignale and Rasolt [61-63] have formulated a current-density functional theory in terms of the density and the paramagnetic current density which has been successfully applied to a variety of systems [63]. A time-dependent HKS formalism in terms of the density and the paramagnetic current density, however, has not been achieved so far. 

Kinetic Monte Carlo and hyperdynamics methods have yet to be applied to processes involved in thermal barrier coating failure or even simpler model metal-ceramic or ceramic-ceramic interface degradation as a function of time. A hindrance to their application is lack of a clear consensus on how to describe the interatomic interactions by an analytic potential function. If instead, for lack of an analytic potential, one must resort to full-blown density functional theory to calculate the interatomic forces, this will become the bottleneck that will limit the size and complexity of systems one may examine, even with multiscale methods. 

Such large enhancement factors for localized and isolated hot spots from few atom Ag clusters arising from only the chemical enhancement under certain conditions are supported by calculations. Zhao working with Jensen and Schatz used time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to investigate the adsorption and Raman response of pyrazine molecules [21]. Figure 10.6 shows the Raman response of (a) isolated pyrazine compared to that of pyrazine complexed to the vertex of a (b) one and (c) two 20 Ag atom clusters with enhancements of 10 and 10 predicted, respectively. Small clusters of Ag atoms have little or no plasmon response, suggesting that the chemical enhancement can be quite significant and certainly may allow for enhancement hot spots.
