Orbital Energies and Orbitals

The Pop=Reg keyword in the route section requested data about the molecular orbitals be included in the output. They appear at the beginning of the population analysis section (output is shortened)  

The atomic orbital contributions for each atom in the molecule are given for each molecular orbital, numbered in order of increasing energy (the MO s energy is given in the row labeled EIGENVALUES preceding the orbital coefficients). The symmetry of the orbital and whether it is an occupied orbital or a virtual (unoccupied) orbital appears immediately under the orbital number.

The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) may be identified by finding the point where the occupied/virtual code letter in the symmetry designation changes from O to V.

The orbitals and orbital energies produced by an atomic HF-Xa calculation differ in several ways from those produced by standard HF calculations. First of all, the Koopmans theorem is not valid and so the orbital energies do not give a direct estimate of the ionization energy. A key difference between standard HF and HF-Xa theories is the way we eoneeive the occupation number u. In standard HF theory, we deal with doubly oecupied, singly occupied and virtual orbitals for which v = 2, 1 and 0 respectively. In solid-state theory, it is eonventional to think about the oecupation number as a continuous variable that can take any value between 0 and 2.

Answer to 5(b). The orbitals and orbital energies of generic —NH2 and —OH groups are shown side by side in Figure 10.1. Conformations a and b exhibit hydrogen-bonding interactions a and b, respectively. Interaction b is favored by the smaller energy gap and additionally by increased polarization of both and ctqH orbitals.

Since both Ax and s are explicitly known in terms of orbitals and orbital energies their derivatives with respect to vs are also explicitly known in terms of these quantities (see Ref. [44] for more details) and therefore equation (320) determines 8vx/8vs uniquely. So we see that in order to determine we have to solve two integral equations. For realistic systems these equations have only be solved approximately (for an explicit solution of equation (320) see... 

Similar to the spin-compensated case, the solution of the unrestricted Kohn-Sham equations starts with the external potential and the number of spin a and spin ji electrons in the state of interest (denoted Na and Np, respectively) then Eqs. (48) and (49) are solved until consistency is achieved. Using the Kohn-Sham orbitals and orbital energies, one then computes the total energy of the system using the spin-dependent generalization of Eq. (47),... 

Another example is provided by the EA of the state of the Na atom to generate the Na anion. Because the state is open shell, one would have to employ the unrestricted Hartree-Fock method to evaluate its orbitals and orbital energies to use in an EOM or GF EA calculation. However, one could, alternatively, compute the EA of Na by evaluating the IP of Na . The advantage would be that the Na is closed shell, so one could employ restricted Hartree-Fock methods to compute the requisite orbitals and orbital energies.
