Multiplicity chemistry

Quantum chemical methods, exemplified by CASSCF and other MCSCF methods, have now evolved to an extent where it is possible to routinely treat accurately the excited electronic states of molecules containing a number of atoms. Mixed nuclear dynamics, such as swarm of trajectory based surface hopping or Ehrenfest dynamics, or the Gaussian wavepacket based multiple spawning method, use an approximate representation of the nuclear wavepacket based on classical trajectories. They are thus able to use the infoiination from quantum chemistry calculations required for the propagation of the nuclei in the form of forces. These methods seem able to reproduce, at least qualitatively, the dynamics of non-adiabatic systems. Test calculations have now been run using duect dynamics, and these show that even a small number of trajectories is able to produce useful mechanistic infomiation about the photochemistry of a system. In some cases it is even possible to extract some quantitative information. [Pg.311]

Since many systems of interest in chemistry have intrinsic multiple time scales it is important to use integrators that deal efficiently with the multiple time scale problem. Since our multiple time step algorithm, the so-called reversible Reference System Propagator Algorithm (r-RESPA) [17, 24, 18, 26] is time reversible and symplectic, they are very useful in combination with HMC for constant temperature simulations of large protein systems. [Pg.313]

Whereas most chemists focused their attention on speculation about atoms and the question of atomic weights, the constant multiplicity in compounds occupied an increasingly central role. The new concept of substitution, i.e., the replacement of one element by another in a compound, started to make a major impact on chemistry in the 1840s. It was probably Dumas, who in the 1830s at the request of his father-in-law (who was the director of the famous Royal Sevres porcelain factory) resolved an event that upset a royal dinner party at the Tuil-... [Pg.29]

One of the cornerstones of the chemistry of carbon compounds (organic chemistry) is Kekule s concept, proposed in 1858, of the tetra-valence of carbon. It was independently proposed in the same year by Couper who, however, got little recognition (vide infra). Kekule realized that carbon can bind at the same time to not more than four other atoms or groups. It can, however, at the same time use one or more of its valences to form bonds to another carbon atom. In this way carbon can form chains or rings, as well as multiple-bonded compounds. [Pg.153]

Quantum mechanics (QM) is the correct mathematical description of the behavior of electrons and thus of chemistry. In theory, QM can predict any property of an individual atom or molecule exactly. In practice, the QM equations have only been solved exactly for one electron systems. A myriad collection of methods has been developed for approximating the solution for multiple electron systems. These approximations can be very useful, but this requires an amount of sophistication on the part of the researcher to know when each approximation is valid and how accurate the results are likely to be. A significant portion of this book addresses these questions. [Pg.10]

Comparative QSAR is a field currently under development by several groups. Large databases of known QSAR and 3D QSAR results have been compiled. Such a database can be used for more than simply obtaining literature citations. The analysis of multiple results for the same or similar systems can yield a general understanding of the related chemistry as well as providing a good comparison of techniques. [Pg.249]

Multiple bonds are very common m organic chemistry Ethylene (C2H4) contains a carbon-carbon double bond m its most stable Lewis structure and each carbon has a completed octet The most stable Lewis structure for acetylene (C2H2) contains a carbon-carbon triple bond Here again the octet rule is satisfied... [Pg.14]

Dry-Film Resists Based on Radical Photopolymerization. Photoinitiated polymerization (PIP) is widely practiced ia bulk systems, but special measures must be taken to apply the chemistry ia Hthographic appHcations. The attractive aspect of PIP is that each initiator species produced by photolysis launches a cascade of chemical events, effectively forming multiple chemical bonds for each photon absorbed. The gain that results constitutes a form of "chemical amplification" analogous to that observed ia silver hahde photography, and illustrates a path for achieving very high photosensitivities. [Pg.117]

Addition Reactions. The addition of nucleophiles to quinones is often an acid-catalyzed, Michael-type reductive process (7,43,44). The addition of benzenethiol to 1,4-benzoquinone (2) was studied by A. Michael for a better understanding of valence in organic chemistry (45). The presence of the reduced product thiophenyUiydroquinone (52), the cross-oxidation product 2-thiophenyl-1,4-benzoquinone [18232-03-6] (53), and multiple-addition products such as 2,5-(bis(thiophenyl)-l,4-benzoquinone [17058-53-6] (54) and 2,6-bis(thiophenyl)-l,4-benzoquinone [121194-11-4] (55), is typical ofmany such transformations. [Pg.409]
