Modifiers atomic symbols

Molecular mechanics force fields usually employ modified atomic symbols to specify the chemical environment of a particular atom, and these are referred to as atom... 

An atomic symbol can have up to four modifiers to convey further information. This is shown for a hypothetical atomic symbol X ... 

Modifier C is used to denote the atomic number, but this space is generally left empty because the atomic symbol necessarily implies the atomic number. 

For the use of atomic symbols to indicate isotopic modification in chemical formulae and the nomenclature of isotopically modified compounds see Section IR-4.5 and Chapter II-2 of Ref. 4 respectively. 

IR-4.5.1 General formalism The mass number of any specific nuclide can be indicated in the usual way with a left superscript preceding the appropriate atomic symbol (see Section IR-3.2). When it is necessary to cite different nuclides at the same position in a formula, the nuclide symbols are written in alphabetical order when their atomic symbols are identical the order is that of increasing mass number. Isotopically modified compounds may be classified as isotopically substituted compounds and isotopically labelled compounds. 

A considerable body of scientific work has been accomplished in the past to define and characterize point defects. One major reason is that sometimes, the energy of a point defect can be calculated. In others, the charge-compensation within the solid becomes apparent. In many cases, if one deliberately adds an Impurity to a compound to modify its physical properties, the charge-compensation, intrinsic to the defect formed, can be predicted. We are now ready to describe these defects in terms of their energy and to present equations describing their equilibria. One way to do this is to use a "Plane-Net". This is simply a two-dimensional representation which uses symbols to replace the spherical images that we used above to represent the atoms (ions) in the structure. 

Lewis recognized that certain molecules such a PCI5 and SF6 are exceptions to the octet rule because their Lewis structures indicate that the central atom has more than eight electrons in its valence shell 10 for the P atom in PCI5 and the S atom in SF4, and 12 for the S atom in SFg (Figure 1.17). Such molecules are called hypervalent because the valence of the central atom is greater than its principal valence. To write a Lewis structure for such molecules, the Lewis symbol for the hypervalent atom must be modified to show the correct number of unpaired electrons. For the molecules in Figure 1.17 we would need to write the Lewis symbols as follows ... 

From work performed in 1983 by Burnier and Jorgensen [15], the following ab initio calculations for the HOMO and LUMO energies of the synthons were developed. The function n(x, parent) returns the number of atoms of type x in the parent. This function is abbreviated below as simply n(x) where the parent is understood. The symbols UU, O, N, S represent triple bonds, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfer, respectively. The subscripts c and t denote central and terminal locations respectively in the parent for the elements which they modify. For brevity, the terms diene-synthon and dienophile-synthon will be replaced with diene and dienophile respectively. 

We have already mentioned the formulae for groups, such as S04 , without discussing the principles by which such formulae are assembled. These may (or may not) involve some reference to structure. The general approach is to select one or more atom(s) as the central or characteristic atom(s). This is so whether the ion or group is a coordination entity or not. Thus, I in ICl4 , V in V02 and Si and W in [SiW,204o] are all central atoms and are cited first. The subsidiary atoms then follow, in alphabetical order of symbols (this rule is slightly modified for coordination compounds). 

P = 98 92(6)°. The center of inversion is indicated by a dot in the center of the unit cell, and the two two-fold screw axes are perpendicular to the plane of the paper and are marked with the symbol i Two glide planes perpendicular to the screw axes in the. xy plane (parallel with the plane of the paper) are not indicated but are found at distances of one-fourth and three-fourths unit cell depth. Note that a, b, and c do not correspond exactly to x, y, and a because one of the three angles of a monoclinic structure is unequal to 90°. The fluorine atoms have been omitted for clarity.

Chirality symbols based on the priority sequence. The procedure is applied as for tetrahedra, but modified because there is a unique principal axis. The structure is oriented so that the viewer looks down the principal axis, with the ligand having the higher priority closer to the viewer. Using this orientation, the priority sequence of ligating atoms in the [horizontal] plane is examined. If the sequence proceeds in a clockwise fashion, the chirality symbol C is assigned. Conversely, if the sequence is anticlockwise, the symbol A is assigned. 

When a name applies equally to two or more isomeric condensed parent ring systems with the maximum number of non-cumulative double bonds and when the name can be made specific by indicating the position of one or more hydrogen atoms in the structure, this is accomplished by modifying the name with a locant, followed by italic capital H for each of these hydrogen atoms. Such symbols ordinarily precede the name. The said atom or atoms are called indicated hydrogen . The same principle is applied to radicals and compounds derived from these systems. 

There is much precedent but no particular justification for omitting the core orbitals from the molecular calculation. To determine the consequences of (6) separating the core orbitals and electrons, we divide the set of atomic orbitals into two classes, Xp, core orbitals with energies Ep, and valence orbitals for which we retain the symbol . Unlike the Crrti, the coefficients of the core orbitals are not free for variation to minimize the energy but are determined by requiring that arbitrary admixture of the core orbitals in the valence molecular orbitals do not change the energy of the latter. The final matrix equation (6) is of the order of the number of valence orbitals, but the definitions of the S and H matrix elements are modified ...

Hall and Kier investigated the possible relationship between topological indices and the partial charge computed by semiempirical MO methods The following model was obtained in a comparison of atomic indices from MO theory (partial charge) and a modified version of the chi indices. In this case the chi indices were partitioned into atomic contributions. Of course, the index is already defined as an atom index the others are given the strike-through symbol, x (equation 24) ...
