Molecular orbitals quantum numbers

Here, again, the sum runs over the atoms of the molecule and i/, p are their orbital quantum numbers, respectively. Obviously, the obtained eigen-levels and orbitals are different from those of the free molecule because the interaction with the leads is taken into account in Eq. (8) through H. The correspondence to the free molecule levels and orbitals can be found by projecting TJ( )1 ( onto the orbitals of the free molecule. This way, the terms HOMO-derived or LUMO-derived levels can be used for the corresponding groups of renormalized molecular levels. 

Notice that in both case (d) and case (e) there is no molecular projection quantum number. An example of case (e) coupling, probably the first, has been observed [60] for vibration rotation levels of the HeKr+ ion which lie very close to the dissociation limit. The Kr+ atomic ion has L = 1 and S= 1/2, so that. Ja is 3/2 or 1 /2, and the spin orbit interaction is strong. When a very weak bond is formed with a He atom,. Ja remains a good quantum number, at least for the most weakly bound levels, but there are nevertheless series ofrotation levels, with rotational energy BR(R + 1). The details are described in chapter 10, where we show that case (e) coupling is identified, both by the observed pattern of the rotational levels, and by the measured Zeeman effects and effective g factors for individual rotational levels.

Much of quantum chemistry attempts to make more quantitative these aspects of chemists view of the periodic table and of atomic valence and structure. By starting from first principles and treating atomic and molecular states as solutions of a so-called Schrodinger equation, quantum chemistry seeks to determine what underlies the empirical quantum numbers, orbitals, the aufbau principle and the concept of valence used by spectroscopists and chemists, in some cases, even prior to the advent of quantum mechanics. 

The schematic model is depicted in Fig. 8. As the bias voltage increases, the number of the molecular orbitals available for conduction also increases (Fig. 8) and it results in the step-wise increase in the current. It was also found that the conductance peak plotted vs. the bias voltage decreases and broadens with increasing temperature to ca. 1 K. This fact supports the idea that transport of carriers from one electrode to another can take place through one molecular orbital delocalising over whole length of the CNT, or at least the distance between two electrodes (140 nm). In other words, individual CNTs work as coherent quantum wires. 

Ab initio ECPs are derived from atomic all-electron calculations, and they are then used in valence-only molecular calculations where the atomic cores are chemically inactive. We start with the atomic HF equation for valence orbital Xi whose angular momentum quantum number is 1 ... 

Table 1 Calculation of some molecular-based descriptors for BOA, DIMBOA and MBOA. Physicochemical descriptor like logP (partition coefficient between octanol and water) constitutional descriptors like the number of a specified atoms or bonds (number of carbons, hydrogens, oxygens, nitrogens, single and aromatic bonds, the total number of atoms and bonds) and molecular weight quantum-mechanical descriptors like HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) and LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital).

In a molecular-orbital-type (Hartree-Fock or Kohn-Sham density-functional) treatment of a three-dimensional atomic system, the field-free eigenfunctions ir e can be rigorously separated into radial (r) and angular (9) components, governed by respective quantum numbers n and l. In accordance with Sturm-Liouville theory, each increase of n (for... 

When one of the two electrons of opposite spins (belonging to a molecular orbital of a molecule in the ground state) is promoted to a molecular orbital of higher energy, its spin is in principle unchanged (Section 2.3) so that the total spin quantum number (S = Es , with s — I y or 1) remains equal to zero. Because the multi-...
