In this paper we present the first application of the ZORA (Zeroth Order Regular Approximation of the Dirac Fock equation) formalism in Ab Initio electronic structure calculations. The ZORA method, which has been tested previously in the context of Density Functional Theory, has been implemented in the GAMESS-UK package. As was shown earlier we can split off a scalar part from the two component ZORA Hamiltonian. In the present work only the one component part is considered. We introduce a separate internal basis to represent the extra matrix elements, needed for the ZORA corrections. This leads to different options for the computation of the Coulomb matrix in this internal basis. The performance of this Hamiltonian and the effect of the different Coulomb matrix alternatives is tested in calculations on the radon en xenon atoms and the AuH molecule. In the atomic cases we compare with numerical Dirac Fock and numerical ZORA methods and with non relativistic and full Dirac basis set calculations. It is shown that ZORA recovers the bulk of the relativistic effect and that ZORA and Dirac Fock perform equally well in medium size basis set calculations. For AuH we have calculated the equilibrium bond length with the non relativistic Hartree Fock and ZORA methods and compare with the Dirac Fock result and the experimental value. Again the ZORA and Dirac Fock errors are of the same order of magnitude. 

As a rule with few exceptions, OH moieties are hydrogen bonded to an acceptor. Potential H-atom positions lie on a cone. Finding the correct position on this cone can be tricky when the difference electron-density map does not show a single suitable maximum. SHELXL (Sheldrick, 1997b) provides an option to find the optimal position by way of an electron-density calculation around a circle (see Chapter 3 for details). Inspection of contoured difference maps for hydrogen atom positions should be attempted in less obvious settings. 

Electronic options for Li-ion batteries include the basic functions of monitoring, measuring, calculating, communicating, and controlling the cells in a battery pack. In practice, the battery pack may vary in size both physically and by the number of cells, but each will utilize some of the same electronic functions required to protect the cells and/or ensure their performance in the device. 

The basic functions of monitoring, measuring, calculating, communicating and controlling are a representation of electronic options to enhance the safety and maintain the performance of a collection of cells in a battery pack. Although these functions can he applied to any battery, they are not all required in any particular battery-powered device (Figure 16.1). 

As discussed, there are various electronic options that can be employed with Li-ion cells as they are constructed in to battery packs. The functions of measuring, monitoring, calculating, communicating, and controlling still apply from single-cell Li-ion smartphones to large battery arrays of kWh size. 

Achieving chemical accuracy by electronic structure calculations is computationally expensive, and the time required calculating a rate constant is governed almost entirely by the time spent calculating the gradients and Hessians. In addition, the accuracy of the rate constant depends on the accuracy of the electronic structure method. Therefore, the user must make judicious decisions about the length of the MEP, how often Hessians are calculated, whether to use options like LCT that require extra information about the PES, and which electronic structure method to use. 

HyperChem always com putes the electron ic properties for the molecule as the last step of a geometry optimization or molecular dyn am ics calcu lation. However, if you would like to perform a configuration interaction calculation at the optimized geometry, an additional sin gle poin t calcu lation is requ ired with theCI option being turned on. 

There are several ways to include relativity in ah initio calculations more efficiently at the expense of a bit of accuracy. One popular technique is the Dirac-Hartree-Fock technique, which includes the one-electron relativistic terms. Another option is computing energy corrections to the nonrelativistic wave function without changing that wave function. 

The simplest many-electron wave function that satisfies the Exclusion Principle is a product of N different one-electron functions that have been antisymmetrized, or written as a determinant. Here, N is the number of electrons (or valence electrons) in the molecule. HyperChem uses this form of the wave function for most semi-empirical and ab initio calculations. Exceptions involve using the Configuration Interaction option (see page 119). HyperChem computes one-electron functions, termed molecular spin orbitals, by relatively simple integration and summation calculations. The many-electron wave function, which has N terms (the number of terms in the determinant), never needs to be evaluated. 

Semi-empirical Options dialog box and you can also extend the calculation of the Hartree-Fock ab initio wave function by choosing Cl in the Ab Initio Options dialog box. Use Cl for these electron configurations ... 

HyperChem quantum mechanics calculations must start with the number of electrons (N) and how many of them have alpha spins (the remaining electrons have beta spins). HyperChem obtains this information from the charge and spin multiplicity that you specify in the Semi-empirical Options dialog box or Ab Initio Options dialog box. N is then computed by counting the electrons (valence electrons in semi-empirical methods and all electrons in fll) mitio method) associated with each (assumed neutral) atom and... 

If a covalent bond is broken, as in the simple case of dissociation of the hydrogen molecule into atoms, then theRHFwave function without the Configuration Interaction option (see Extending the Wave Function Calculation on page 37) is inappropriate. This is because the doubly occupied RHFmolecular orbital includes spurious terms that place both electrons on the same hydrogen atom, even when they are separated by an infinite distance. 

Specifies the calculation of electron correlation energy using the Mpller-Plesset second order perturbation theory (MP2). This option can only be applied to Single Point calculations. 

Set this threshold to a small positive constant (the default value is 10" ° Hartree). This threshold is used by HyperChem to ignore all two-electron repulsion integrals with an absolute value less than this value. This option controls the performance of the SCF iterations and the accuracy of the wave function and energies since it can decrease the number of calculated two-electron integrals.
