Hydrogen molecule comparison

We shall examine the simplest possible molecular orbital problem, calculation of the bond energy and bond length of the hydrogen molecule ion Hj. Although of no practical significance, is of theoretical importance because the complete quantum mechanical calculation of its bond energy can be canied out by both exact and approximate methods. This pemiits comparison of the exact quantum mechanical solution with the solution obtained by various approximate techniques so that a judgment can be made as to the efficacy of the approximate methods. Exact quantum mechanical calculations cannot be carried out on more complicated molecular systems, hence the importance of the one exact molecular solution we do have. We wish to have a three-way comparison i) exact theoretical, ii) experimental, and iii) approximate theoretical. 

The properties of the hydrogen molecule and molecule-ion which are the most accurately determined and which have also been the subject of theoretical investigation are ionization potentials, heats of dissociation, frequencies of nuclear oscillation, and moments of inertia. The experimental values of all of these quantities are usually obtained from spectroscopic data substantiation is in some cases provided by other experiments, such as thermochemical measurements, specific heats, etc. A review of the experimental values and comparison with some theoretical... 

Although no new numerical information regarding the hydrogen molecule-ion can be obtained by treating the wave equation by perturbation methods, nevertheless it is of value to do this. For perturbation methods can be applied to many systems for which the wave equation can not be accurately solved, and it is desirable to have some idea of the accuracy of the treatment. This can be gained from a comparison of the results of the perturbation method of the hydrogen molecule-ion and of Bureau s accurate numerical solution. The perturbation treatment assists, more-... 

The results presented above and their comparison with those for the Al + H2 reaction indicate that addition of the second hydrogen molecule to B1(A7) should be as easy as addition of the first H2 molecule to Al, which is known to occur at laboratory conditions. Indeed, the rate-determining barriers of the reaction sequence, Al + H2 - A3 - A7 and B1(A7) — B3 are calculated to be 21.2 and 19.8 (19.5) kcal/mol, respectively. However, the first process is exothermic by 13 kcal/mol, while the second process is endothermic by 8 kcal/mol. 

For example, the above presented theoretical results and comparison of those with available experiment clearly indicate that addition of the second (and third) hydrogen molecule to complex [p2n2]Zr( i-Ti2-N2)Zr[p2n2], A1 should be feasible under appropriate laboratory conditions, and formation of ammonia from dinitrogen and dihydrogen molecules could be a catalytic process (see Figure 11). This conclusion should be tested by experimentalists. 

The comparison with the dihydrogen binding energy of the methonium ion is obvious the more stable the cation, the smaller the binding energy to a hydrogen molecule. This applies to the itmer and outer complexes. Thus, one can extrapolate that even more stable cations, like the isopropyl and t-butyl cations, do not benefit from an association with a neutral a-electron donor. 

For future experimental comparisons, we calculated a vibrational frequency shift for the hydrogen molecule moieties of 216cm TZ 2>d f, p) CCSD(T), scaled by 0.95] relative to free hydrogen (Table 13). This frequency corresponds to the asymmetric H-4I stretching mode because the symmetric motion has zero oscillator...

Cosmic radiation and H2-H2O exchange reactions in the upper atmosphere produce and maintain a small atmospheric HT inventory. However, at the present time the man-made one appears to be by far the largest part of the atmospheric HT. Since 1949, the tritium content of ahnospheric hydrogen molecules has been measured after being extracted from the so-called neon fraction obtained at liquid air plants. The values have increased from 10 TU in 1954 to 10 TU in the 1960s, in comparison with 10 TU in 1949. Monitoring of HT in 1971 and 1972 showed that HT did not undergo seasonal fluctuations, observed in HTO, and variations were small around a mean of approximately 46 HT molecules per mg of air. ... 

Comparison of conditions A3, B and D, reveals that despite the change of total pressure, Qh2 remains unchanged. Hence, although the partial pressure of H decreases when pressure is decreased, the number of hydrogen molecules above the surface per unit time should be the same, because H is a light molecule with a high diffusion rate. Lowering the pressure leads to enhancement of the diffusion of heavy rather...

Persky and Klein have measured the temperature dependence of the isotope effect over the range — 30 °C—h 70 °C for the photochlorination of isotopic hydrogen molecules by comparing the rate of H2 chlorination with the rate for HD, D2, HT, DT and T2. Assuming a linear transition state, four force constants characterize the potential energy surface contours at the transition state configuration. Four independent isotope effect measurements are necessary to determine the four force constants for comparison with theoretical surface models hence, Persky and Klein have one isotope effect measurement which serves as a test of their method. 

The comparison of TPR-MS diagrams reported in Figure 4.4 (a) and also allows us to conclude that, the dispersed rhodium phase, enhances the reducibility of terbia, thus suggesting that, under the investigated conditions the reduction process is controlled by the activation of the hydrogen molecule. 

For comparison, the distance between the hydrogen atoms in a hydrogen molecule is 0.074 nm.
