Orbitals restricted

The lowest energy molecular orbital of singlet methylene looks like a Is atomic orbital on carbon. The electrons occupying this orbital restrict their motion to the immediate region of the carbon nucleus and do not significantly affect bonding. Because of this restriction, and because the orbital s energy is very low (-11 au), this orbital is referred to as a core orbital and its electrons are referred to as core electrons. 

More recently Hiberty et ol[26] proposed the breathing orbital valence bond (BOVB) method, which can perhaps be described as a combination of the Coulson-Fisher method and techniques used in the early calculations of the Weinbaum.[7] The latter are characterized by using differently scaled orbitals in different VB structures. The BOVB does not use direct orbital scaling, of course, but forms linear combinations of AOs to attain the same end. Any desired combination of orbitals restricted to one center or allowed to cover more than one is provided for. These workers suggest that this gives a simple wave function with a simultaneous effective relative accuracy. 

It has been shown that Slater type orbitals restricted to Is, 2p, 3 /,... functions can lead to good results for total energies. Orbital exponents, C, may be chosen by the even-tempered formula93-99...

So fiir in this chapter we have discussed the Hartree-Fock equations from a formal point of view in terms of a general set of spin orbitals xj. We are now in a position to consider the actual calculation of Hartree-Fock wave functions, and we must be more specific about the form of the spin orbitals. In the last chapter we briefly discussed two types of spin orbitals restricted spin orbitals, which are constrained to have the same spatial function for a (spin up) and jS (spin down) spin functions and unrestricted spin orbitals, which have different spatial functions for a and P spins. Later in this chapter we will discuss the unrestricted Hartree-Fock formalism and unrestricted calculations. In this section we are concerned with procedures for calculating restricted Hartree-Fock wave functions and, specifically, we consider here...

It would appear that identical particle pemuitation groups are not of help in providing distinguishing syimnetry labels on molecular energy levels as are the other groups we have considered. However, they do provide very usefiil restrictions on the way we can build up the complete molecular wavefiinction from basis fiinctions. Molecular wavefiinctions are usually built up from basis fiinctions that are products of electronic and nuclear parts. Each of these parts is fiirther built up from products of separate uncoupled coordinate (or orbital) and spin basis fiinctions. Wlien we combine these separate fiinctions, the final overall product states must confonn to the pemuitation syimnetry mles that we stated above. This leads to restrictions in the way that we can combine the uncoupled basis fiinctions. 

These limitations lead to electron spin multiplicity restrictions and to differing nuclear spin statistical weights for the rotational levels. Writing the electronic wavefunction as the product of an orbital fiinction and a spin fiinction there are restrictions on how these functions can be combined. The restrictions are imposed by the fact that the complete function has to be of synnnetry... 

The orbitals from which electrons are removed can be restricted to focus attention on the correlations among certain orbitals. For example, if the excitations from the core electrons are excluded, one computes the total energy that contains no core correlation energy. The number of CSFs included in the Cl calculation can be far in excess of the number considered in typical MCSCF calculations. Cl wavefimctions including 5000 to 50 000 CSFs are routine, and fimctions with one to several billion CSFs are within the realm of practicality [53]. 

The LMTO method [58, 79] can be considered to be the linear version of the KKR teclmique. According to official LMTO historians, the method has now reached its third generation [79] the first starting with Andersen in 1975 [58], the second connnonly known as TB-LMTO. In the LMTO approach, the wavefimction is expanded in a basis of so-called muffin-tin orbitals. These orbitals are adapted to the potential by constmcting them from solutions of the radial Scln-ddinger equation so as to fomi a minimal basis set. Interstitial properties are represented by Hankel fiinctions, which means that, in contrast to the LAPW teclmique, the orbitals are localized in real space. The small basis set makes the method fast computationally, yet at the same time it restricts the accuracy. The localization of the basis fiinctions diminishes the quality of the description of the wavefimction in die interstitial region. 

The basic self-consistent field (SCF) procedure, i.e., repeated diagonalization of the Fock matrix [26], can be viewed, if sufficiently converged, as local optimization with a fixed, approximate Hessian, i.e., as simple relaxation. To show this, let us consider the closed-shell case and restrict ourselves to real orbitals. The SCF orbital coefficients are not the... 

In this section, we briefly discuss spectroscopic consequences of the R-T coupling in tiiatomic molecules. We shall restrict ourselves to an analysis of the vibronic and spin-orbit structure, detennined by the bending vibrational quantum number o (in the usual spectroscopic notation 02) and the vibronic quantum numbers K, P.
