Orbitals occupied

Most electronic valence transitions shift to longer wavelengths at higher pressures drat is, the gap between the highest occupied orbital and lowest unoccupied orbital tends to decrease upon compression. The rates of shift usually are larger (1) for pure materials than for solutes in a solvent and (2) for stronger (more allowed) transitions. However, these correlations are not quantitative, and many transitions shift in the opposite... 

These two expressions differ in a very important way the sum of occupied orbital energies double counts the Coulomb minus exchange interaction energies. Thus, within the FIE approximation, the sum of the occupied orbital energies is not equal to the total energy. 

Once the initial guesses have been made for the. of the occupied orbitals, the Ilill matrix is fonued and new e. and. values are obtained by solving. . These new orbitals are tlien... 

Not all Iterative semi-empirical or ah iniiio calculations converge for all cases. For SCF calculation s of electronic stnictiire. system s with a small energy gap between the highest occupied orbital and the lowest unoccupied orbital may not converge or may converge slowly. (They are generally poorly described by the Ilartree-Foch method.)... 

If the mini her of electrons, N, is even, yon can haven dosed shell (as shown ) where the occupied orbitals each contain two electron s. For an odd n nrn her of electron s, at least on e orbital rn ust be singly occupied. In the example, three orbitals are occupied by-electron s and two orbitals arc nn occupied. Th e h ighest occupied nioleciilar orbital (HOMO is t[r), and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is The example above is a singlet, a state oh total spin S=0. Exciting one electron from the HOMO to the LUMO orbital would give one ol the I ollowing excited states ...

N() -e that the summations are over the N/2 occupied orbitals. Other properties can be cali ulated from the density matrix for example, the electronic energy is ... 

These absorptions are ascribed to n-n transitions, that is, transitions of an electron from the highest occupied n molecular orbital (HOMO) to the lowest unoccupied n molecular orbital (LUMO). One can decide which orbitals are the HOMO and LUMO by filling electrons into the molecular energy level diagram from the bottom up, two electrons to each molecular orbital. The number of electrons is the number of sp carbon atoms contributing to the n system of a neuhal polyalkene, two for each double bond. In ethylene, there is only one occupied MO and one unoccupied MO. The occupied orbital in ethylene is p below the energy level represented by ot, and the unoccupied orbital is p above it. The separation between the only possibilities for the HOMO and LUMO is 2.00p. 

To obtaiti the total charge density r, at atom C we must sum over all occupied or partially occupied orbitals and subtract the I esult from 1,0. the n charge density of the carbon atom alone... 

After diagonalization of the EHT matrix, the lowest 4 orbitals have an energy sum of about —70 eV. The electronic energy for these doubly occupied orbitals is 2(—70) = — 140 eV. The energy gain of the molecule relative to its atoms is —140 — ( — 110) = —30eV = —690 kcal mol (1 eV = 23 kcal mol ) therefore, the molecule is stable relative to its atoms. We can envision an energy cycle with three steps (Eig. 7-5) ... 

The total it electron energy is the sum of occupied orbital energies multiplied by two if. as is usually the ease, the orbital is doubly occupied. The charge densities and free valency indices were treated in separate sections above. The bond order output should be read as a lower triangular serni matrix. The bond order semi matrix for the butadiene output is shown in Fig. 7-7. 

The principal diagonal of the HMO output matrix is the it electron probability density at atomy, where the summation is over all occupied orbitals. This... 

The. more tightly held an electron is. the more difficult it is to remove, hence the higher the electrode potential necessary to remove it. Make the reasonable hypothesis that the electron removed in a one-electron oxidation comes from the highest occupied orbital. HOMO. Using SHMO. determine the HOMO for ben7 ene, biphenyl, and naphthalene. 

Introductory descriptions of Hartree-Fock calculations [often using Rootaan s self-consistent field (SCF) method] focus on singlet systems for which all electron spins are paired. By assuming that the calculation is restricted to two electrons per occupied orbital, the computation can be done more efficiently. This is often referred to as a spin-restricted Hartree-Fock calculation or RHF.
