The partition of the electrostatic potential operator of Eq. (1.7), with the consequent partition of the vector operator V = -I- V , leads a parallel partition of the apparent charges Q >P) into... 

H° is the Hamiltonian operator of the isolated molecule, Q and V are, respectively, the apparent charge operator and the molecular electrostatic potential operator... 

The key entities are the similarity transformed PTE Hamiltonian H(O) = e f/(0)jye and the similarity transformed molecular electrostatic potential operators )7 = e Vjye. Both operators can be expressed as a terminated Backer-CampbeU-Hausdorff expansion. Specifically, H 0) terminates at the four-fold commutator, because it has at most two-particle interactions ... 

In this framework, the PCM solute-solvent interaction operator (see O Eq. 28.3) can be defined in terms of molecular electrostatic operators V and of a charges operator Q describing the PCM solute-solvent interaction operator (Cammi et al. 2002, 2005). V is a vector collecting the molecular electrostatic potential operator, evaluated at the positions of the ASC charges ... 

How does a rigorously calculated electrostatic potential depend upon the computational level at which was obtained p(r) Most ab initio calculations of V(r) for reasonably sized molecules are based on self-consistent field (SCF) or near Hartree-Fock wavefunctions and therefore do not reflect electron correlation in the computation of p(r). It is true that the availability of supercomputers and high-powered work stations has made post-Hartree-Fock calculations of V(r) (which include electron correlation) a realistic possibility even for molecules with 5 to 10 first-row atoms however, there is reason to believe that such computational levels are usually not necessary and not warranted. The Mpller-Plesset theorem states that properties computed from Hartree-Fock wave functions using one-electron operators, as is T(r), are correct through first order (Mpller and Plesset 1934) any errors are no more than second-order effects. 

Conventional HRTEM operates at ambient temperature in high vacuum and directly images the local structure of a catalyst at the atomic level, in real space. In HRTEM, as-prepared catalyst powders can be used without additional sample preparation. The method does not normally require special treatment of thin catalyst samples. In HRTEM, very thin samples can be treated as WPOs, whereby the image intensity can be correlated with the projected electrostatic potential of the crystal, leading to the atomic structural information characterizing the sample. Furthermore, the detection of electron-stimulated XRE in the EM permits simultaneous determination of the chemical composition of the catalyst. Both the surface and sub-surface regions of catalysts can be investigated. 

Thermospray (TSP) [29-31] unites three modes of operation. In pure TSP, a solution of the analyte and a volatile buffer, usually 0.1 M ammonium acetate, is evaporated from a heated capillary at a flow rate of 1-2 ml min into a heated chamber, hence the term thermospray. As the solvent evaporates, the analyte is forming adducts with ions from the buffer salt. While most of the neutrals are removed by a vacuum pump, the ions are extracted orthogonally from their main axis of motion by use of an electrostatic potential. The ions are transferred into a quadrupole mass analyzer through a pinhole of about 25 pm in diameter (Fig. 11.2). The quadrupole was employed according to its tolerance to poor vac-...
