Orbital species

In this expression the parameters depend on the rest charge on the respective orbital. But for the coefficient c (r.), can be considered the independence of the rest r, through the nature of constant of the atomic or orbital species of the chemical hardness with which is associated. For the coefficient c.(r), taking into account the specific relations previously foimd, it can be written ... 

To study the delocalization problem in a hexagonal six-electron-six-orbital species Xe, we must first establish a proper behavior of the QC state of these many-electron systems. The QC state is shown in 10, and its wave function is given by eq 40, for a general case where core orbitals also exist. Thus, the AOs, x. 

Alternatively a reaction between a species with a pair of electrons and a species with a vacant orbital to form a covalent bond, heteronuclear molecule See homonuclear molecule. 

Jahn-TeHer effect The Jahn-Teller theorem states that, when any degenerate electronic slate contains a number of electrons such that the degenerate orbitals are not completely filled, the geometry of the species will change so as to produce non-degenerate orbitals. Particularly applied to transition metal compounds where the state is Cu(II)... 

The FIF orbitals of the parent molecule are used to describe both species. It is said that such a model neglects "orbitalrelaxation" (i.e. the reoptimization of the spin orbitals to allow them to become appropriate to the daughter species). 

By carefully adjustmg the variational wavefiinction used, it is possible to circumvent size-extensivity problems for selected species. For example, the Cl calculation on Bc2 using all 2 CSFs fomied by placing the four valence electrons into the 2a, 2a, 30g, 3a, In, and iTt orbitals can yield an energy equal to twice that of the Be atom described by CSFs in which the two valence electrons of the Be atom are placed into the... 

For the variational calculations of the vibronic spectrum and the spin-orbit fine structure in the X H state of HCCS the basis sets involving the bending functions up to 0i = 02 = 11 with all possible and I2 values are used. This leads to the vibronic secular equations with dimensions 600 for each of the vibronic species considered. The bases of such dimensions ensure full... 

For molecules with an even number of electrons, the spin function has only single-valued representations just as the spatial wave function. For these molecules, any degenerate spin-orbit state is unstable in the symmetric conformation since there is always a nontotally symmetric normal coordinate along which the potential energy depends linearly. For example, for an - state of a C3 molecule, the spin function has species da and E that upon... 

The species produced through ionization of an electron from a ir-orbital (such as from a C-H or a C-C bond of an alkane in mass spectrometry) cannot be represented at all by a connection table, yet the RAMSES notation can account for it as shown in Figure 2-59. 

Boranes are typical species with electron-deficient bonds, where a chemical bond has more centers than electrons. The smallest molecule showing this property is diborane. Each of the two B-H-B bonds (shown in Figure 2-60a) contains only two electrons, while the molecular orbital extends over three atoms. A correct representation has to represent the delocalization of the two electrons over three atom centers as shown in Figure 2-60b. Figure 2-60c shows another type of electron-deficient bond. In boron cage compounds, boron-boron bonds share their electron pair with the unoccupied atom orbital of a third boron atom [86]. These types of bonds cannot be accommodated in a single VB model of two-electron/ two-centered bonds. 

I he calculation of the energy of the individual species A is performed in the presence ol ghost orbitals of B that is, without the nuclei or electrons of B. A similar calculation is... 

A is a parameter that can be varied to give the correct amount of ionic character. Another way to view the valence bond picture is that the incorporation of ionic character corrects the overemphasis that the valence bond treatment places on electron correlation. The molecular orbital wavefimction underestimates electron correlation and requires methods such as configuration interaction to correct for it. Although the presence of ionic structures in species such as H2 appears coimterintuitive to many chemists, such species are widely used to explain certain other phenomena such as the ortho/para or meta directing properties of substituted benzene compounds imder electrophilic attack. Moverover, it has been shown that the ionic structures correspond to the deformation of the atomic orbitals when daey are involved in chemical bonds. 

Atoms, linear molecules, and non-linear molecules have orbitals which can be labeled either according to the symmetry appropriate for that isolated species or for the species in an environment which produces lower symmetry. These orbitals should be viewed as regions of space in which electrons can move, with, of course, at most two electrons (of opposite spin) in each orbital. Specification of a particular occupancy of the set of orbitals available to the system gives an electronic configuration. For example,... 

For example, the Carbon-atom 3P(Ml=1, Ms=0) = [ p ppQ(x + p apoP ] and 3P(Ml=0, Ms=0) = 2-C2 [Ip Pp. aj + piap-iP ] states interact quite differently in a collision with a closed-shell Ne atom. The Ml = 1 state s two determinants both have an electron in an orbital directed toward the Ne atom (the 2po orbital) as well as an electron in an orbital directed perpendicular to the C-Ne intemuclear axis (the 2pi orbital) the Ml = 0 state s two determinants have both electrons in orbitals directed perpendicular to the C-Ne axis. Because Ne is a closed-shell species, any electron density directed toward it will produce a "repulsive" antibonding interaction. As a result, we expect the Ml = 1 state to undergo a more repulsive interaction with the Ne atom than the Ml = 0 state. 

If the energies of the Sx and Sy orbitals do not differ significantly (compared to the coulombic interactions between electron pairs), it is expected that the essence of the findings described above for homonuclear species will persist even for heteronuclear systems. A decomposition of the six CSFs listed above, using the heteronuclear molecular orbitals introduced earlier yields ... 

Before addressing head-on the problem of how to best treat orbital optimization for open-shell species, it is useful to examine how the HF equations are solved in practice in terms of the LCAO-MO process. 

Each of these tools has advantages and limitations. Ab initio methods involve intensive computation and therefore tend to be limited, for practical reasons of computer time, to smaller atoms, molecules, radicals, and ions. Their CPU time needs usually vary with basis set size (M) as at least M correlated methods require time proportional to at least M because they involve transformation of the atomic-orbital-based two-electron integrals to the molecular orbital basis. As computers continue to advance in power and memory size, and as theoretical methods and algorithms continue to improve, ab initio techniques will be applied to larger and more complex species. When dealing with systems in which qualitatively new electronic environments and/or new bonding types arise, or excited electronic states that are unusual, ab initio methods are essential. Semi-empirical or empirical methods would be of little use on systems whose electronic properties have not been included in the data base used to construct the parameters of such models.
