Using the more advanced quantum chemical computational methods it is now possible to determine the fundamental electronic properties of zeolite structural units. The quantum chemical basis of Loewenstein s "aluminum avoidance" rule is explored, and the topological features of energy expectation value functionals within an abstract "nuclear charge space" model yield quick estimates for energy relations for zeolite structural units. 

These energy bounds are based on two theorems (10-12) which utilize the fact that in the quantum chemical energy expectation value functional the nuclear charges can be regarded as continuous variables. A series of energy relations can be derived for iso-electronic molecules which contain different nuclei, or the same nuclei in different positions. A corollary of the first theorem states (eq.32 in (10)) that... 

For the variational description of a ground state, Pvb is of course optimized by minimizing its energy expectation value... 

The two-particle cumulant is a correlation increment. It describes Coulomb correlation, since the Fermi correlation is already contained in the description in terms of only. In terms of the cumulants, the energy expectation value can be written... 

If one formulates the conditions for stationarity of the energy expectation value in terms of generalized normal ordering, one is led to either the irreducible fc-particle Brillouin conditions IBCj or the irreducible A -particle contracted Schrodinger equations (IBC ), which are conditions to be satisfied by y = yj and the k. One gets a hierarchy of k-particle approximations that can be truncated at any desired order, without any need for a reconstruction, as is required for the reducible counterparts. 

The energy expectation values resulting from schemes (b) and (c) are... 

If we now set the frequencies of the exchanged virtual photon to zero, unm —> 0, i.e., if we neglect retardation effects, the energy expectation value reduces to... 

Answer. Orbitals are one-electron wave functions, ). The fact that electrons are fermions requires that each electron be described by a different orbital. The simplest form of a many-electron wave function, T(l, 2,..., Ne), is a simple product of orbitals (a Hartree product), 1(1) 2(2) 3(3) NfNe). However, the fact that electrons are fermions also imposes the requirement that the many-electron wave function be antisymmetric toward the exchange of any two electrons. All of the physical requirements, including the indistinguishability of electrons, are met by a determinantal wave function, that is, an antisymmetrized sum of Hartree products, ( 1,2,3,..., Ne) = 1(1) 2(2) 3(3) ( ). If (1,2,3,...,Ne) is taken as an approximation of (1,2,..., Ne), i.e., the Hartree-Fock approximation, and the orbitals varied so as to minimize the energy expectation value,... 

To proceed, first, assume we have some well-behaved candidate density that integrates to the proper number of electrons, N. In that case, the first theorem indicates that this density determines a candidate wave function and Hamiltonian. That being the case, we can evaluate the energy expectation value... 

Integrating Eq. (21) in the interaction region and dividing by NL(t) immediately yields that the local energy expectation value reads... 

The origin of the LR-SS difference was imputed to the incapability of the nonlinear effective solute Hamiltonian used in these solvation models to correctly describe energy expectation values of mixed solute states, i.e., states that are not stationary. Since in a perturbation approach such as the LR treatment the perturbed state can be seen as a linear combination of zeroth-order states, the inability of the effective Hamiltonian approach to treat mixed states causes an incorrect redistribution of the solvent terms among the various perturbation orders [32],... 

The evaluation of forces is straightforward as well. The forces acting on the QM atom A are defined as the negative derivative of the energy expectation value (If) with respect to the nuclear geometry x,x for all directions of space (/x = 1,2,3 corresponding to the x,y,z axes) ... 

In principle, it is easy to calculate the electronic energy for a wavefunction of type (18). With the assumptions that the spin functions are orthonormal and that H is spin-free, the energy expectation value is... 

The states comprising the set (here, represented by t, > and tA2>) in which the wave function is expanded are called basis states. It is customary to choose the scale of the basis states such that they arc normalized-, that is, ( Ai lAi) = (lA2 iA2) = 1- Moreover, we shall assume that the basis states are orthogonal (tAi l A2) = O. This may in fact not be true, and in Appendix B we carry out a derivation of the energy expectation value while retaining overlaps in [Pg.5]

This procedure is relatively inexpensive computationally and, with reasonable choices for the form of T vb, it is fairly robust. An obvious alternative is to minimise the energy expectation value... 

The only variational degree of freedom concerns the orbital set, which is therefore chosen to minimize the energy expectation value with the constraint that the orbitals remain orthonormal. This leads to a set of Euler equations that in turn lead to the Hartree-Fock equations, finally giving the (f)/ set although in an iterative way because the Hartree-Fock equations depend on the orbitals themselves. This dependency arises from the fact that the HF equations are effective one-electron eigenvalue equations... 

At a microscopic level, two kinds of functions can be derived from quantum mechanics. On the one hand are those corresponding to global properties such as the energy, expectation values of operators, chemical potential, or global hardness as defined within the conceptual DFT context [35] and on the other hand are local properties such as electron density distributions, the electron localization function ELF [24], local hardness [36,37], and the Fukui functions [38,39],... 

Certain Schrodinger equation based methods, such as coupled cluster theory, are not based on a variational principle. They fall outside schemes that use the energy expectation value as a optimization function for simulated annealing, although these methods could be implemented within a simulated annealing molecular dynamics scheme with alternative optimization function.
