Perturbations intermolecular

When i j, S, and Hj represent the deviation of the overlap and resonance integrals from zero after the perturbation has been turned on between molecular orbitals / and j (/ and j are normalized and orthogonal for the unperturbed case). Importantly, equations 3.7 and 3.8 show that the magnitudes of and are given 

An intermolecular perturbation leads to modification of the orbitals of one molecule (or fragment) by those of another. A hypothetical example of intermolecular perturbation is shown in 3.4. The orbitals are ordered into two stacks, one 

Therefore, for those atomic orbitals and Xv located on the fragments A and 6, 

The subscripts A and 6 have been added oniy to heip the reader to keep track of which fragment a particuiar orbital has originated from. The symbol X X (A, = n,v X = A, B) includes all orbitals X that are located on atom X. S j is the overlap integral between and and Hnj is the corresponding interaction ener gy. An orbital on the fragment A will be influenced both by orbitals on the same fragment and orbitals on the other fragment 6. We rewrite equation 3.3 as 

The apparently complex expression for the resultant wavefunction, i/f is a function of three terms and may be broken down in the following way.

Considering only the interaction between HOMO of R and LVMO of S, elementary perturbation theory shows that the result of the orbital interaction is a repulsion of the levels, the occupied level becomes more stable, the unoccupied level less stable. The simplest Huckel-type formulation of PMO theory gives equations for the intermolecular perturbation energy change A that are quite simple in form, Eqs. 3—6 18,20,22,26-28) Q is a first-order Coulombic energy that can be calculated in terms of... 

Note that, in contrast to other forms of intermolecular perturbation theory to be considered below, the NBO-based decomposition (5.8) is based on a full matrix representation of the supermolecule Hamiltonian H. All terms in (5.8) are therefore fully consistent with the Pauli principle, and both /7units(0, and Vunits(mt) are properly Hermitian (and thus, physically interpretable) at all separations. 

In intermolecular perturbation theory one of the major problems concerns electron exchange between molecules. In the method described here exchange is limited to single electrons. This simplification is definitely a good approximation at large intermolecular distances. The energy of interaction between the molecules, AE (R), is obtained as a sum of first order, second order, and higher order contributions ...

In order to leam more about the nature of the intermolecular forces we will start with partitioning of the total molecular energy, AE, into individual contri butions, which are as close as possible to those we defined in intermolecular perturbation theory. Attempts to split AE into suitable parts were undertaken independently by several groups 83-85>. The most detailed scheme of energy partitioning within the framework of MO theory was proposed by Morokuma 85> and his definitions are discussed here ). This analysis starts from antisymmetrized wave functions of the isolated molecules, a and 3, as well as from the complete Hamiltonian of the interacting complex AB. Four different approximative wave functions are used to describe the whole system ... 

W Another type of energy partitioning in MO theory was proposed by Clementi 86>. This kind of partitioning called Bond Energy Analysis" (BEA) was found to be particularly useful in larger molecular clusters 87-90) Since the individual contributions of BEA are not directly related to the quantities discussed in intermolecular perturbation theory, dementi s technique will not be used here (see Chapter V).

It is worthwhile to examine the Hamiltonian in some detail because it enables one to discuss both intramolecular and intermolecular perturbations from the same point of view. To do so, we start from a zero-order Hamiltonian that contains just the spherical part of the field due to the core (which need not be Coulombic as it includes also the quantum defect [42]) and add two perturbations. U due to external effects and V due to the structure of the core. Here, U contains both the effect of external fields (electrical and, if any, magnetic [1]) and the role of other charges that may be nearby [8, 11, 12, 17]. The technical point is that both the effect of other charges and the effect of the core not being a point charge are accounted for by writing the Coulomb interaction between two charges, at points ri and r2, respectively, as...

In the following, we will first present a formal derivation of the general PE equations rooted in intermolecular perturbation theory. Next follows a derivation of the PE scheme within the concepts of time-dependent density functional theory, and finally, we present a few illustrative examples. The PE model has been implemented in the Dalton program package [14]. 

Four-coordinate monomeric complexes are formed with either tetrahedral or planar stereochemistries. With acetylacetone, the beryllium compound (2) has been studied crystallographically and has the expected tetrahedral configuration. Crystalline Cu(AA)2 shows a nearly planar (13) arrangement however, some intermolecular perturbation does occur.

Xantheas and co-workers [159,160] have incorporated polarization in a model scheme and have used that to provide a clear basis for the enhancement of water s dipole in ice. A model potential with polarization has been reported for the formaldehyde dimer [161]. It is an example of a carefully crafted potential, which is system-specific because of its application to pure liquid formaldehyde, but which has terms associated with properties and interaction elements as in the above models. As well, some of the earliest rigid-body DQMC work, which was by Sandler et al. [162] on the nitrogen-water cluster, used a potential expressed in terms of interaction elements derived from ab initio calculations with adjustment (morphing). Stone and co-workers have developed interaction potentials for HF clusters [163], water [164], and the CO dimer [165], which involve monomer electrical properties and terms derived from intermolecular perturbation theory treatment. SAPT has been used for constructing potentials that have enabled simulations of molecules in supercritical carbon dioxide [166]. There are, therefore, quite a number of models being put forth wherein electrical analysis and/or properties of the constituents play an essential role, and some where electrical analysis is used to understand property changes as well as the interaction energetics.
