The total energy in ab initio theory is given relative to the separated particles, i.e. bare nuclei and electrons. The experimental value for an atom is the sum of all the ionization potentials for a molecule there are additional contributions from the molecular bonds and associated zero-point energies. The experimental value for the total energy of H2O is —76.480 a.u., and the estimated contribution from relativistic effects is —0.045 a.u. Including a mass correction of 0.0028 a.u. (a non-Bom-Oppenheimer effect which accounts for the difference between finite and infinite nuclear masses) allows the experimental non-relativistic energy to be estimated at —76.438 0.003 a.u. ... 

A critical comparison between experiment and theory is hindered by the range of experimental values reported in the literature for each molecule. This reflects the difficulty in the measurement of absolute ionization cross sections and justifies attempts to develop reliable semiempirical methods, such as the polarizability equation, for estimating the molecular ionization cross sections which have not been measured or for which only single values have been reported. The polarizability model predicts a linear relationship between the ionization cross section and the square root of the ratio of the volume polarizability to the ionization potential. Plots of this function against experimental values for ionization cross sections for atoms are shown in Figure 7 and for molecules in Figure 8. The equations determined... 

Experimental values for these molecules are based on a different N-terminal group, an asparagine-quinoline moiety replacing NHj-Ala-Ala in the compounds 2,4,5,8 and 9. 

Physical and Structural Aspects.—Perhaps the most significant theoretical paper comes from an application of pseudopotential SCF methods to PX3 molecules.1 This method neglects core orbitals, and hence shortens computer-time requirements, in comparison with more conventional SCF calculations. The results1 are really most encouraging, and compare favourably with standard SCF results, in relation to experimental values for bond angles and lengths, and for dipole moments. 

The object of this work was to extend the field of application of the equation-of-state method. The method was applied to aqueous systems in conjunction with a model that treats water as a mixture of a limited number of polymers, an approach similar to that previously adopted for the carboxylic acids (2). Association is calculated by the law of mass action corrections for non-ideal behaviour are made by means the equation of state. A major problem of the method is the large number of parameters needed to describe the properties and concentrations of the polymers together with their interaction with molecules of other substances. The Mecke-Kemptner model (15) (also known as the Kretschmer-Wiebe model (16) and experimental values for hydrogen-bond energies were usecT for guidance in fixing these parameters.

The prevailing trend is that the values decrease in moving from KT to NOF-EKT, and then from NOF-EKT to experimental data. Conversely, in the case of P2, the hrst IP increases in moving from KT to NOF-EKT, and then from NOF-EKT to experimental values. For the HCl molecule, the NOF-EKT hrst IP is... 

Barrer (3) makes similar calculations for the entropies of occlusion of substances by zeolites and reaches the conclusion that the adsorbed material is devoid of translational freedom. However, he uses a volume, area or length of unity when considering the partition function for translation of the adsorbed molecules in the cases where they are assumed to be capable of translation in three, two or one dimensions. His entropies are given for the standard state of 6 = 0.5, and the volume, area or length associated with the space available to the adsorbed molecules should be of molecular dimensions, v = 125 X 10-24 cc., a = 25 X 10-16 cm.2 and l = 5 X 10-8 cm. When these values are introduced into his calculations the entropies in column four of Table II of his paper come much closer together, as is shown in Table I. The experimental values for different substances range from zero to —7 cals./deg. mole or entropy units, and so further examination is required in each case to decide... 

When we look at the energies from Table 15. 10, perhaps the most striking fact is that the correlation energy in the n system makes so little difference in the Ai values. As we indicated above, the experimental value for the resonance energy from heats of hydrogenation is —1.54 eV, in quite satisfactory agreement with the result in Table 15.10. The fact that our value is a little lower than the experimental one may be attributed to the small amoimt of residual resonance remaining in the cyclohexatriene, whereas the isolated double bonds in the experiment are truly isolated in separate molecules. ... 

In the absence of experimental values for R0, these are computed from Eqs. (43) and (44) with W = -AHa (Table X) and are given for a number of molecules in columns 2 and 3 of Table XIV. Since these are significantly... 

The diffusion coefficient was estimated to be 4 x 10 9 m2/s. Experimental values for benzene in faujasites range from 10 10 to 10"13 m2/s, depending on the measurement technique (24, 97). PFG-NMR measurements are the closest to the MD value, which was admitted by the authors to be a crude estimate (mainly on grounds of a short simulation and inflexible molecules). The simulation time was too short to permit a calculation of the residence times of the benzene at either the cation or the window site or inside a particular cage. The cage residence times were estimated to be at least an order of magnitude longer than those for methane in NaY zeolite (43). 

For nitromethane, CH NO, and methyl difluoroborane, CHJBF, symmetry requires that the potential barrier have six maxima. The experimental values for the barrier height are very small, 0.006 and 0.014 kcal/mole, respectively.47-48 These small barriers result from interactions of higher order than those in molecules such as ethane. 

These place a positive charge on the oxygen atom of the unionized molecule, and so cause it to repel the proton. On analysis of the experimental values for Ka at 25°C it is found that the inductive effect of a nitro group increases Ka by a factor of about 45, and the resonance effect in the ortho and para positions gives another factor of about 22. The acid constant of a nitrophenoi can be found approximately by multiplying that for phenol, l.t X 10 10, by the factor 45 for every meta nitro group and 1000 for every ortho or para nitro group in the molecule. The comparison of the values calculated in this way with those found by experiment is shown in Table 8-1. ... 

The Helium Molecule-Ion.—The simplest molecule in which the three-electron bond can occur is the helium molecule-ion, HeJ, consisting of two nuclei, each with one stable Is orbital, and three electrons. The theoretical treatment7 of this system has shown that the bond is strong, with bond energy about 55 kcal/mole and with equilibrium internuclear distance about 1.09 A. The experimental values for these qualities, determined from spectroscopic data for excited states of the helium molecule, are a bout 58 kcal/mole and 1.080 A, respectively, which agree well with the theoretical values. It is seen that the bond energy in He He4 is about the same as that in H H+, and a little more than half as great as that of the electron-pair bpnd in H H.
