Projected Hiickel the initial guess at the MO coefficients is obtained from an extended Hiickel calculation ... 

HyperChem performs an empirical Hiickel calculation to produce th e MO coefficien ts for a minimal basis set and th en projects th ese coefficien ts to the real basis set used in an cife calculation. Th e projected Htickel guess can be applied to rn olecular system s with an atom ic n um ber less th an or equal to 54 (Xe). 

All electron calculations were carried out with the DFT program suite Turbomole (152,153). The clusters were treated as open-shell systems in the unrestricted Kohn-Sham framework. For the calculations we used the Becke-Perdew exchange-correlation functional dubbed BP86 (154,155) and the hybrid B3LYP functional (156,157). For BP86 we invoked the resolution-of-the-iden-tity (RI) approximation as implemented in Turbomole. For all atoms included in our models we employed Ahlrichs valence triple-C TZVP basis set with polarization functions on all atoms (158). If not noted otherwise, initial guess orbitals were obtained by extended Hiickel theory. Local spin analyses were performed with our local Turbomole version, where either Lowdin (131) or Mulliken (132) pseudo-projection operators were employed. Broken-symmetry determinants were obtained with our restrained optimization tool (136). Pictures of molecular structures were created with Pymol (159). 

Usually we need more c s than the small basis set of an extended Hiickel or other semiempirical calculation supplies a projected semiempirical wavefunction is then used, with the missing c s extrapolated from the available ones). Using these c s and Eq. 5.121 = 5.81 we calculate the initial-guess P s for Eqs. 5.106-5.108 since there is only one occupied MO (n = 1 in Eq. 5. 121) the summation has only one term ... 

After the finding of a sweet taste in L-Asp-L-Phe-OMe (aspartame) by Mazur et at. (6), a number of aspartyl dipeptide esters were synthesized by several groups in order to deduce structure-taste relationships, and to obtain potent sweet peptides. In the case of the peptides, the configuration and the conformation of the molecule are important in connection with the space-filling properties. The preferred conformations of amino acids can be shown by application of the extended Hiickel theory calculation. However, projection of reasonable conformations for di- and tripeptide molecules is not easily accomplished.

Solution of the ag block of the Hiickel determinant for Cso leads to two linear combinations of ag irreducible symmetry. The first of these is the linear combination resulting from the projection of the lag polynomial of Table 3.20 on the 80 vertices, so that each coefficient is of equal value, while the second linear combination is identical to the one found by projecting the level 6 polynomial of the table onto the 80 vertices and rendering the result orthogonal to the first. 

Thus, in the first row the totally symmetric Hiickel MO is displayed, while in the second row projection on the level 6 function neatly divides the decorations on the vertices into the two orbit sets, with 20 local a orbitals multiplied by a negative coefficient and 60 local a orbitals multiplied by a positive coefficient. The final projection in row 3 of the figure is the result obtained when the linear combination over the level 6 function is rendered orthogonal to that at level 0. In this example, because the overlap is relatively small, little difference is evident on comparison of the row 2 and row 3 results. However, it is clear that without division of the 80-vertexed cage into its O20 and Oeo orbits considerably more algebra is required. 

With reference to Figure 2.19, Figure A2.1[a] displays a portion of the Function worksheet in the file hga.xls for the calculation of the projections of the 5Hg[aj listed in Table A1.1 of Appendix 1 on the vertex positions of the regular orbit cage of In point symmetry. These are the coefficients of the linear combinations of equation A2.1, with the assumption that the vertices are decorated by p local radial functions to which Hiickel approximations can be applied and are collected as a coefficient matrix on the Setup worksheet shown in Figure A2.1[b]. 

In Figure 10.14, for a slab calculation with the extended Hiickel method of Ag, the group orbital projections onto the valence band 6s PDOS are shown for the interaction with an adsorbate with an s-atomic orbital in three-, two-, or onefold coordination. Note the enhancement of density at low energy for the threefold symmetric group orbital compared to that of the twofold symmetry group orbital or the PDOS of the s orbital of a single metal atom.
