Energy expression closed-shell system

For all higher-order correlation energies (of closed-shell systems), moreover, we can follow similar lines and evaluate the vacuum expectation values EI"I = (0c HX2 " 0c). This results in the standard Moeller-Plesset expressions for the energy corrections. 

These methods can give us useful information on radicals in a manner similar to that for closed-shell systems, provided the exploitation is correct. Of course, in expressions for total energy, bond orders, etc., a singly occupied orbital must be taken into account. One should be aware of areas where the simple methods give qualitatively incorrect pictures. The HMO method, for example, cannot estimate negative spin densities or disproportionation equilibria. On the other hand, esr spectra of thousands of radicals and radical ions have been interpreted successfully with HMO. On the basis of HMO orbital energies and MO symmetry... 

The summation over i includes all occupied levels of the energy eigenvalue spectrum. In the case of a closed shell system this number equals N/2, where Nis the number of electrons in the system. Using eqs. (2.8) and (2.35), the electronic charge density can be expressed as ... 

By minimizing the energy of d>, in Eq. (3.12), we obtain a set of coupled integro-differential equations, the Hartree-Fock equations, which may be expressed in the following form for closed-shell systems (for open-shell cases see Szabo and Ostlund, 1989) ... 

The expression of the electronic SCF energy of a closed-shell system is ... 

The latter expression clearly shows that Hartree-Fock wave functions are not properly correlated they allow two electrons of opposite spin to simultaneously occupy a same elementary volume of an atomic or molecular space. Consequently, two-electron properties which are completely determined by the second-order density matrix cannot be correctly evaluated at the Hartree-Fock level and, a fortiori, from approximate SCF wave functions. On the contrary, satisfactory values of one-electron properties may be generally provided by those functions, at least in the case of closed-shell systems. However, due to the large contribution of pair correlation, the energy changes associated with the so-called isodes-mic processes (Hehre et al., 1970) can be reasonably well predicted at the Hartree-Fock level and also using SCF wave functions. Indeed, in that case, correlation errors approximately balance each other. 

We consider the interaction of two closed-shell systems A and B. When the interaction between the monomers is neglected, the complex AB is described by the Hamiltonian H0 = Ha + Hb, where Ha and Hb denote Hamiltonians for the monomers A and B, respectively. The corresponding wave function and energy Eo can be simply expressed in terms of wave functions and energies of the unperturbed monomers ... 

The result is seen in Figure 10.5 where, however, we have restrict the output to the first few terms. For closed-shell systems, there are in total 14 diagrams in the expansion of the third-order correlation energies which can be compared directly with the expression by Blundell et al [72], if we replace X o = 1 in order to adopt... 

The last contribution to correlation energy in Eq. (2.40) is fi , defined by Vosko et al. for both closed-shell and open-sheU systems [38] using different expressions [39]. The default option of this term in the Gaussian suite of programs [40] for closed-shell systems is... 

As with the closed-shell case, this matrix should be constructed from the derivative integrals in the atomic-orbital basis. Indeed, it is possible to solve the entire set of equations in the AO basis if desired. From these equations, it can be seen that properties such as dipole moment derivatives can be obtained at the SCF level as easily for open-shell systems as is the case for closed-shell systems. Analytic second derivatives are also quite straightforward for all types of SCF wavefunction, and consequently force constants, vibrational frequencies and normal coordinates can be obtained as well. It is also possible to use the full formulae for the second derivative of the energy to construct alternative expressions for the dipole derivative. 

The matrix elements of the perturbation v, given in Eq. (6.47), and the zeroth-order orbital energies in Eq. (6.46) are all we need to calculate the perturbation energies. We begin with the second-order energy. Since we are dealing with a closed-shell system, the required expression is given by Eq. (6.44c),... 

We now consider the calculation of the third-order energy. The appropriate expression for a closed-shell system is given in Exercise 6.4(e),... 

Construction of the diagrams We use the second-quantization formalism to obtain an expression for the second-order contribution to the correlation energy of the closed-shell system in its ground state. By substituting the expression (3.175) for 5fi into eq. (3.180), we obtain ... 

The Hamiltonian, Hea, which is called the Hartree-Fock-Roothan operator is a 1-electron operator whose application yields the energy of an electron moving in the average field of the other electrons and nuclei. In principle an SCF theory approach will lead to a well-defined expression for Hett for closed and open shell systems (188, 189), and with the aid of modern computers Hm integrals can be evaluated numerically even for transition metal complexes. This type of ab initio calculation has been reported for a reasonable number of organometallic complexes of first-row transition elements by Hillier, Veillard, and their co-workers (48, 49, 102, 103, 111-115 58, 68, 70, 187, 228, 229). 

In fullerene anions C%q, the n electrons outside closed shells occupy /lu triplet electronic states. Jahn-Teller (JT) coupling between these states and 5-fold h-type vibrations has important consequences for many properties of the fullerene anions. It is therefore important to understand the JT effect experienced by these ions from a theoretical point of view. We will study the cases of n = 2 and 4, where the lowest adiabatic potential energy surface is found to consist of a two-dimensional trough in linear coupling. The motion of the system therefore consists of vibrations in three directions across the trough and pseudo-rotations in two directions around the trough. Analytical expressions for states of the system that reflect this motion are obtained and the resultant energies determined. 

The coefficient one-half at the diagonal interaction element in the above expression reflects the fact that in the HFR approximation for the closed electron shell system, only that half of the electron density residing at the a-th AO contributes to the energy shift at the same AO, which corresponds to the opposite electron spin projection. Then the expression for the renormalized mutual atomic polarizability matrix IIA can be obtained ... 

Here we formulate a fractional electron method (FEM) which allows for non-integer numbers of electrons in a QM system. The approach relies on the use of a pseudo-closed-shell expression for the electronic energy, where fractional occupation numbers for the MO s are assumed at the outset. If M is the number of atomic orbitals (AO), n...
