According to Mulliken charge-transfer theory (7), the separation of AhvCT = 0.61 eV for the two series represents the constant difference in the donor properties (ionization potential) of Co(CO)4- and I- in salt pairs with the same acceptor cation. The latter is a corollary of the Mulliken... 

If one considers only hydrocarbons, and more especially the so-called alternant hydrocarbons, i.e. first of all the conjugated polyenes and the aromatic hydrocarbons of the benzene series, the greater part of their physical properties, ionization potentials, lower electronic transitions etc., can be interpreted qualitatively and often quantitatively in terms of the electronic structure of the n system alone. As the number of n electrons is small with respect to the total number of electrons of the molecule, a considerable simplification of the quantum-mechanical problem is obtained. However, it must be noted immediately that the assumptions of a complete a—n separation and of a rigid a frame are not sufficient to eliminate the a electrons completely from the theory because the n electrons of an unsaturated molecule are not attracted by bare nuclei, but are subject to an effective potential containing Coulomb and exchange contributions from the a electrons. 

In Hierl s model the very different isotopic branching of Ai+ and Ki+ is essentially attributable to the different electronic properties (ionization potentials) of these two species. Recently it has been demonstrated very directly how changing the electronic structure of one and the same ion affects its isotopic branching behaviour [27]. Vanadium ions were prepared using electron of different energy. 

Although VEH uses a set of parameterized one-electron orbitals, its accuracy approaches that of true ab initio methods. VEH gives ground-state properties, ionization potentials and energy gaps typically within 0.1 eV of the experimental values. The evolution of the band structure of poly(l,4-phenylene) (10 poly(p-phenylene), PPP) during inclusion of sodium is shown in Figure 3. The relaxation of the polymer chain in the vicinity of added electrons produces states in the band gap. These eventually fuse with the valence and conduction bands as Na content increases. These states and their relevance to the properties of real systems has been the focus of much excitement and debate. 

The spherical shell model can only account for tire major shell closings. For open shell clusters, ellipsoidal distortions occur [47], leading to subshell closings which account for the fine stmctures in figure C1.1.2(a ). The electron shell model is one of tire most successful models emerging from cluster physics. The electron shell effects are observed in many physical properties of tire simple metal clusters, including tlieir ionization potentials, electron affinities, polarizabilities and collective excitations [34]. 

Semiempirical methods are parameterized to reproduce various results. Most often, geometry and energy (usually the heat of formation) are used. Some researchers have extended this by including dipole moments, heats of reaction, and ionization potentials in the parameterization set. A few methods have been parameterized to reproduce a specific property, such as electronic spectra or NMR chemical shifts. Semiempirical calculations can be used to compute properties other than those in the parameterization set. 

The theory and appHcation of SF BDV and COV have been studied in both uniform and nonuniform electric fields (37). The ionization potentials of SFg and electron attachment coefficients are the basis for one set of correlation equations. A critical field exists at 89 kV/ (cmkPa) above which coronas can appear. Relative field uniformity is characterized in terms of electrode radii of curvature. Peak voltages up to 100 kV can be sustained. A second BDV analysis (38) also uses electrode radii of curvature in rod-plane data at 60 Hz, and can be used to correlate results up to 150 kV. With d-c voltages (39), a similarity rule can be used to treat BDV in fields up to 500 kV/cm at pressures of 101—709 kPa (1—7 atm). It relates field strength, SF pressure, and electrode radii to coaxial electrodes having 2.5-cm gaps. At elevated pressures and large electrode areas, a faH-off from this rule appears. The BDV properties ofHquid SF are described in thehterature (40—41). 

Heats of formation, molecular geometries, ionization potentials and dipole moments are calculated by the MNDO method for a large number of molecules. The MNDO results are compared with the corresponding MINDO/3 results on a statistical basis. For the properties investigated, the mean absolute errors in MNDO are uniformly smaller than those in MINDO/3 by a factor of about 2. Major improvements of MNDO over MINDO/3 are found for the heats of formation of unsaturated systems and molecules with NN bonds, for bond angles, for higher ionization potentials, and for dipole moments of compounds with heteroatoms. 

In addition to the obvious structural information, vibrational spectra can also be obtained from both semi-empirical and ab initio calculations. Computer-generated IR and Raman spectra from ab initio calculations have already proved useful in the analysis of chloroaluminate ionic liquids [19]. Other useful information derived from quantum mechanical calculations include and chemical shifts, quadru-pole coupling constants, thermochemical properties, electron densities, bond energies, ionization potentials and electron affinities. As semiempirical and ab initio methods are improved over time, it is likely that investigators will come to consider theoretical calculations to be a routine procedure. 

Since the energy of the transfer band is determined by the difference between the donor ionization potential and the acceptor electron affinity, this fact points to the increase of the PCS ionization potential with decreasing conjugation efficiency. Therefore, the location of the transfer band of the molecular complexes of an acceptor and various PCSs can serve as a criterion for the conjugation efficiency in the latter. In Refs.267 - 272) the data for a number of molecular complexes are given, and the comparison with the electrical properties of the complexes is made. 

The possibility of a barrier which inhibits a reaction in spite of the attractive ion-dipole potential suggests that one should make even crude attempts to guess the properties of the potential hypersurface for ion reactions. Even a simple model for the long range behavior of the potential between neutrals (the harpoon model ) appears promising as a means to understand alkali beam reactions (11). The possibility of resonance interaction either to aid or hinder reactions of ions with neutrals has been suggested (8). The effect of possible resonance interaction on cross-sections of ion-molecule reactions has been calculated (25). The resonance interaction would be relatively unimportant for Reaction 2 because the ionization potential for O (13.61 e.v.) is so different from that for N2 (15.56 e.v.). A case in which this resonance interaction should be strong and attractive is Reaction 3 ... 

The properties of the hydrogen molecule and molecule-ion which are the most accurately determined and which have also been the subject of theoretical investigation are ionization potentials, heats of dissociation, frequencies of nuclear oscillation, and moments of inertia. The experimental values of all of these quantities are usually obtained from spectroscopic data substantiation is in some cases provided by other experiments, such as thermochemical measurements, specific heats, etc. A review of the experimental values and comparison with some theoretical... 

Certain physical properties of substituted ethylenes may be correlated with the extended Hammett equation. Included in this category are dipole moments and ionization potentials.
