Model Hamiltonian INDEX

We consider a model Hamiltonian that consists of a one-degree-of-freedom reaction coordinate coupled with n degrees of freedom that are vibrational modes. Thus, the total number, N, of the degrees of freedom is n + 1. The reaction coordinate is a degree of freedom that has an unstable fixed point. The position of the fixed point corresponds to a saddle with index 1 of the whole system— that is, a transition state in the conventional sense. The n-degrees-of-freedom vibrational modes are, in general, nonlinear. Moreover, when the... 

Lastly, we want to point out that the CS INDO based procedure reported here is capable of correctly describing solvent effects on both ground- and excited-state properties by one and the same hamiltonian. This represents a methodological improvement with respect to all other semiempirical approaches that are forced to use different model hamiltonians (e.g. INDO, INDO/S) for geometry optimization and electronic structure calculation, or to bypass the problem of a direct geometry optimization resorting to empirical relationships between bond lengths and bond indexes. 

Before we set up the model Hamiltonian for electrochemical electron transfer, we have to specify the models for the various parts of the system. For the electrons in the metal, we use the quasi-free electron model in which the electronic states are labeled by their quasi-momentum k. For outer-sphere electron transfer on metals, it is usually permissible to ignore the spin index - keeping it would introduce an additional factor of two, which can be incorporated into the interaction constants. On the reactant, we consider a single orbital, labeled a, with which the electrons are exchanged.

Following a similar approach but using a smaller data set of 369 compounds, Ivanciuc et al. correlated their liquid viscosity (10 Pa s) at 298 K with a mixed set of descriptors to obtain Eq. [48]. This involves three QM descriptors, one topological, and one constitutional descriptor. The QM descriptors were calculated with the AMI Hamiltonian in AMPAC, and CODESSA was used to calculate the descriptors and perform the statistical analyses. The HDCA2 parameter is the same HBD charged surface area used in Eq. [46]. The maximum electrophilic reactivity index, Ep, for a carbon atom is defined by X/ lumo,/A lumo+ 10), with the summation over the valence AOs on a carbon atom in the LUMO. The maximum AO electronic population, Y, models the molecular nucleophilicity and is defined by...
