Figure 65. Potential-energy surface for first excited singlet state of linear Hj1. Cut through surface at large R coincides with potential curve of at small R2 and with H2 curve at large R2 (see Fig. 63). There is a seam connecting this surface to that shown in Fig. 64, along which potential surface hopping can occur.2...

Ramsey was a gifted student. He brought a keen sense of physical theory and a facility with mathematics to complement his talent as an experimentalist. The data in Figures 13.2 and 13.3 were taken by Ramsey at the beginning of his dissertation research. He soon found that with much-reduced oscillator power the H2 curves became six separate, well-defined resonances— the first time a multilined structure had ever been observed in magnetic resonance. Encouraged by this unexpected result, Ramsey studied...

Percentage of CO (curve a) and H2 (curve b) adsorbed/ reacted and corresponding differential heat evolved (curve c) when a fresh Ru/Ti02 sanple was exposed to a 4.1 pmol pulse of CO+H2 (1 4) at different tenqieratures. Curve d shows the amount of CO adsorbed from a 4.1 pmol pulse of CO dosed in the presence of He flow.

Properties of Light and Heavy Water. Selected physical properties of light and heavy water are Hsted ia Table 3 (17). Thermodynamic properties are given ia Table 4. The Hquid plus vapor critical-temperature curve for xT) (1 )H2 ) mixtures over the entire concentration range has been reported (28). 

A frequently encountered pH-rate profile exhibits a bell-like shape or hump, with two inflection points. This graphical feature is essentially two sigmoid curves back-to-back. By analogy with the earlier analysis of the sigmoid pH-rate curve, where the shape was ascribed to an acid-base equilibrium of the substrate, we find that the bell-shaped curve can usually be accounted for in terms of two acid-base dissociations of the substrate. The substrate can be regarded, for this analysis, as a dibasic acid H2S, where the charge type is irrelevant we take the neutral molecule as an example. The acid dissociation constants are... 

You will find the detailed solution of the electronic Schrddinger equation for H2" in any rigorous and old-fashioned quantum mechanics text (such as EWK), together with the potential energy curve. If you are particularly interested in the method of solution, the key reference is Bates, Lodsham and Stewart (1953). Even for such a simple molecule, solution of the electronic Schrddinger equation is far from easy and the problem has to be solved numerically. Burrau (1927) introduced the so-called elliptic coordinates... 

If we want to calculate the potential energy curve, then we have to change the intemuclear separation and rework the electronic problem at the new A-B distance, as in the H2 calculation. Once again, should we be so interested, the nuclear problem can be studied by solving the appropriate nuclear Schrodinger equation. This is a full quantum-mechanical equation, not to be confused with the MM treatment. 

At the other end of the spectrum are the ab initio ( from first principles ) methods, such as the calculations already discussed for H2 in Chapter 4. I am not trying to imply that these calculations are correct in any strict sense, although we would hope that the results would bear some relation to reality. An ab initio HF calculation of the potential energy curve for a diatomic Aj will generally give incorrect dissociation products, and so cannot possibly be right in the absolute sense. The phrase ab initio simply means that we have started with a certain Hamiltonian and a set of basis functions, and then done all the intermediate calculations with full rigour and no appeal to experiment.

In Section II.D(4c), it was pointed out that, in treating correlation effects in a molecular system, it is of essential importance that the improved wave function leads to an energy curve having correct asymptotic behavior for separated atoms. It has been shown (Frost, Braunstein, and Schwemer 1948) that this condition may be fulfilled by a convenient choice of a correlation factor g. Let us consider the H2 molecule and a wave function of the type...
