Perturbation theory equation using

Ei=i N F(i), perturbation theory (see Appendix D for an introduetion to time-independent perturbation theory) is used to determine the Ci amplitudes for the CSFs. The MPPT proeedure is also referred to as the many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) method. The two names arose beeause two different sehools of physies and ehemistry developed them for somewhat different applieations. Later, workers realized that they were identieal in their working equations when the UHF H is employed as the unperturbed Hamiltonian. In this text, we will therefore refer to this approaeh as MPPT/MBPT. 

There is another manner in whieh perturbation theory is used in quantum ehemistry that does not involve an externally applied perturbation. Quite often one is faeed with solving a Sehrodinger equation to whieh no exaet solution has been (yet) or ean be found. In sueh eases, one often develops a model Sehrodinger equation whieh in some sense is designed to represent the system whose full Sehrodinger equation ean not be solved. The... 

The width of this Lorentzian line is half as large as that found in (3.37). This, however, is not a surprise because the perturbation theory equation (3.23) predicted exactly this difference in the width of the line narrowed by strong and weak collisions. This is the maximal difference expected within the framework of impact theory when the Keilson-Storer kernel is used and 0 < y < 1. 

The use of the Hartree-Fock model allows the perturbation-theory equations (1.2)-(1.5) to be conveniently recast in terms of underlying orbitals (,), orbital energies (e,), and orbital occupancies (n,). Such orbital perturbation equations will allow us to treat the complex electronic interactions of the actual many-electron system (described by Fock operator F) in terms of a simpler non-interacting system (described by unperturbed Fock operator We shall make use of such one-electron perturbation expressions throughout this book to elucidate the origin of chemical bonding effects within the Hartree-Fock model (which can be further refined with post-HF perturbative procedures, if desired). 

A similar interaction would be observed between all Fermi polyads containing sets of vibrational levels related by the selection rule A tv = 2, A tv = +1, and the hamiltonian matrix should be diagonalized for each Fermi polyad without the use of perturbation theory. If, on the other hand, the interaction (63) were smaller, or the separation between the unperturbed levels were larger, the interaction could be treated by perturbation theory it can be shown that, in second-order perturbation theory, equation (63) would contribute a term to the vibrational anharmonic constants... 

The shifts of n,7t transitions in related chromophores can be estimated using perturbation theory (Equations 4.13 and 4.14). The np-orbital is sensitive mostly to inductive perturbations. The 7t -orbital is shifted both by inductive and mesomeric interactions its AO coefficient at the carbonyl C atom is large (Figure 6.4). These qualitative considerations are supported by the data given in Table 6.5. 

As in the case for pure fluids, the perturbation theory is useful both as a calculational tool and as a guide to the development of empirical equations. If we use a mixture of hard spheres as our reference fluid...

The sM curve was computed from the GFD hard q re reference system [38] with the effect of attractions computed by Eferker-Henderson perturbation theory [35] using g(r) obtained from PRISM theory. The points are experimental PVT data of Olabisi and Simha [41].

Next let us consider the symmetric MOs formed from the four AOs Si, Xi, S2, X2. Since the 2s AOs of second row elements lie well below the 2p AOs in energy, we can as a first approximation treat the (s — S2) and (xi — X2) interactions separately since, according to second-order perturbation theory [equation (1.20)] the interactions between them should be small. On this basis, we will again get two bonding/antibonding pairs of two-center MOs as indicated in Fig. 1.23. We can examine the effect of (s — x) interactions using perturbation theory [see Section 1.7 and equation (1.21)].

In applying quantum mechanics to real chemical problems, one is usually faced with a Schrodinger differential equation for which, to date, no one has found an analytical solution. This is equally true for electronic and nuclear-motion problems. It has therefore proven essential to develop and efficiently implement mathematical methods which can provide approximate solutions to such eigenvalue equations. Two methods are widely used in this context- the variational method and perturbation theory. These tools, whose use permeates virtually all areas of theoretical chemistry, are briefly outlined here, and the details of perturbation theory are amplified in Appendix D. 

Most of the techniques described in this Chapter are of the ab initio type. This means that they attempt to compute electronic state energies and other physical properties, as functions of the positions of the nuclei, from first principles without the use or knowledge of experimental input. Although perturbation theory or the variational method may be used to generate the working equations of a particular method, and although finite atomic orbital basis sets are nearly always utilized, these approximations do not involve fitting to known experimental data. They represent approximations that can be systematically improved as the level of treatment is enhanced. 

If the perturbations thus caused are relatively slight, the accepted perturbation theory can be used to interpret observed spectral changes (3,10,39). The spectral effect is calculated as the difference of the long-wavelength band positions for the perturbed and the initial dyes. In a general form, the band maximum shift, AX, can be derived from equation 4 analogous to the weU-known Hammett equation. Here p is a characteristic of an unperturbed molecule, eg, the electron density or bond order change on excitation or the difference between the frontier level and the level of the substitution. The other parameter. O, is an estimate of the perturbation. 

The fugacity coefficient of thesolid solute dissolved in the fluid phase (0 ) has been obtained using cubic equations of state (52) and statistical mechanical perturbation theory (53). The enhancement factor, E, shown as the quantity ia brackets ia equation 2, is defined as the real solubiUty divided by the solubihty ia an ideal gas. The solubiUty ia an ideal gas is simply the vapor pressure of the sohd over the pressure. Enhancement factors of 10 are common for supercritical systems. Notable exceptions such as the squalane—carbon dioxide system may have enhancement factors greater than 10. Solubihty data can be reduced to a simple form by plotting the logarithm of the enhancement factor vs density, resulting ia a fairly linear relationship (52).
