The main drawback of the chister-m-chister methods is that the embedding operators are derived from a wavefunction that does not reflect the proper periodicity of the crystal a two-dimensionally infinite wavefiinction/density with a proper band structure would be preferable. Indeed, Rosch and co-workers pointed out recently a series of problems with such chister-m-chister embedding approaches. These include the lack of marked improvement of the results over finite clusters of the same size, problems with the orbital space partitioning such that charge conservation is violated, spurious mixing of virtual orbitals into the density matrix [170], the inlierent delocalized nature of metallic orbitals [171], etc. 

Kruger and Rosch implemented within DFT the Green s matrix approach of Pisani withm an approximate periodic slab enviromnent [180]. They were able to successfiilly extend Pisani s embeddmg approach to metal surfaces by smoothing out the step fiinction that detenuines the occupation numbers near the Fenui level. 

The first quantum mechanical improvement to MNDO was made by Thiel and Voityuk [19] when they introduced the formalism for adding d-orbitals to the basis set in MNDO/d. This formalism has since been used to add d-orbitals to PM3 to give PM3-tm and to PM3 and AMI to give PM3(d) and AMl(d), respectively (aU three are available commercially but have not been published at the time of writing). Voityuk and Rosch have published parameters for molybdenum for AMl(d) [20] and AMI has been extended to use d-orbitals for Si, P, S and Q. in AMI [21]. Although PM3, for instance, was parameterized with special emphasis on hypervalent compounds but with only an s,p-basis set, methods such as MNDO/d or AMI, that use d-orbitals for the elements Si-Cl are generally more reliable.

It is clear from the preceding comments that there is no absolute distinction between the oxygenase activities mediated by dioxygenases. This is even less clear for heteroarenes than it is for carbocyclic compounds. An illustrative example is provided by Pseudomonas putida strain 86 in which 8-hydroxy-quinol-2-one is produced from quinol-2-one (Rosche et al. 1997).

These comparisons prompted the Rosch group [32,33] to conclude that some Ugands remained on the supported clusters after decarbonylation this conclusion may be quite general—supported metal clusters are highly reactive, and typical oxide and zeoUte supports are not unreactive. Thus, a representation of supported clusters such as tetrairidium on 7-AI2O3 as 4/7-AI2O3 is a simplification that fails to account for the ligands on the cluster.
