The Correlation Method

As mentioned in Sec. 1.4, normal vibrations of a molecule can be described in terms of translational motions of the individual atoms along the x, y, and z axes. Thus, the

Note that + and - signs are for proper and improper rotations, respectively. The symbol 9 should be taken as defined in Sec. 1.8.

The UHF curve is much higher than those for the correlation methods Hartree-Fock theory does a relatively poor job of describing this process. The MP2 curve is somewhat higher than those for the MP3 and MP4(SDTQ) levels, which appear to have converged.

The correlation methods in G3 theory are still computationally demanding and it is of interest to find modifications to reduce the computational requirements. Two approximate versions of G3 theory have been proposed to make the methods more widely applicable. The first is G3(MP3) [22] that eliminates the expensive MP4/2df,p calculation by evaluating the larger basis set effects at the MP3 level. It also eliminates the MP4/plus calculation,... 

Unfortunately, the failure of RHF is so severe that none of the correlated methods based upon it are able to overcome it (except, of course, full Cl). The MP2 curve diverges to negative infinity at the dissociation limit because of a near-degeneracy between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular... 

On the other hand, the PAs at the para and ortho positions are manifestly more sensitive to the electron correlation treatment than the PA at the nitrogen. From the point of view of the % diagnostic (a measure for the importance of nondynamical correlation), aniline (7 =0.0113) and N-anilinium (7 =0.0096) are very similar (and basically purely single-reference), while the p- and o-protonated species exhibit very mild multireference character (0.0149 and 0.0157, respectively). Since protonation at these sites thus involves a noticeable change in 7i, the PA is expected to be more sensitive to the correlation method. 

Methods for treating the factor group vibrations have been given by Davydov (25), as well as by Bhagavantam and Venkatarayudu (22). A simple analysis is possible through what is known as the correlation method (20, 26, 27) by which one is able to write the irreducible representations and thereby classify k=0 phonons directly and simply. The number of A = 0 phonons is 3 N, where N is taken to be the number of atoms in the entire unit cell. However, there are only 3 N-3 optically active phonons because the acoustic vibrations have approximately... 

It is furthermore possible with the correlation method to divide the lattice vibrations into translational types and librationcd (rotational) types. The same results are obtained with this method as with that of Bhagavantam and Venkatara-yudu. Adams and Newton (28, 29) have recently pubhshed tables which make a simple factor group analysis possible [see also (30)]. 

The GRECP method is described in detail in the above papers and we only add here that it allows one to avoid the complications of the four-component calculations described in the introduction (see also [30]) and to attain very high accuracy, limited in practice by possibilities of the correlation methods, while requiring moderate computational efforts when the IC, OC and V subspaces are appropriately chosen.

Table I. This analysis reveals that the primary effect of substituents in both the meta and para positions, as indicated by the magnitudes of these p values, is the inductive effect. Resonance effects are small. The situation therefore is analogous to that found in the treatment of acidities. However, the correlation method does not provide a clear distinction between two sets of resonance parameters, gr(BA) and aR. The degree of fit, presented in the form of a ratio of the standard deviation (SD) to the root mean square (RMS) of the data, is similar for both resonance parameters. Perhaps this limitation reflects an early transition state in which resonance effects play a small role.

Chapters 7 and 8 consider two applications of the data in this chapter and the correlation methods of Chapters 4 and 5. Chapter 7 considers the impact of hydrate on energy, climate, and geohazards in the earth, as examples of phase equilibria and thermal property data application. In Chapter 8, applications caused by hydrates in gas processing and production are described. 

Although the correlative methods based on the coupled-cluster (CC) ansatz are among the most accurate approaches for molecules in vacuum, their extension to introduce the interactions between a molecule and a surrounding solvent have not yet reached a satisfactory stage. The main complexity in coupling CC to solvation methods comes from the evaluation of the electronic density, or of the related observables, needed for the calculation of the reaction field. Within the CC scheme the electronic density can only be evaluated by a relaxed approach, which implies the evaluation of the first derivative of the free energy functional. As discussed previously for the cases of the Cl and MPn approaches, this leads to a more involved formalism. 

By simply extending the methods used for the point group selection rules, one can obtain selection rules for molecules involving rotation-translation and reflection-translation. Two approaches are available. The older method is the Bhagavantum-Ventkatarayudu (BV) method (50), and necessitates the availability of the structure of the material being studied. The other method is that of Halford-Hornig (HH) (51-53) and considers only the local symmetry of a solid and the number of molecules in the unit cell and is simpler to work with. This method is also called the correlation method and depends on the proper selection of the site symmetry in the unit cell. 

We have illustrated the methods to obtain solid state selection rules. It should be mentioned that tables for factor group or point group analyses have been prepared by Adams and Newton (56,57) where one can read the number and type of species allowed directly from the table. Although useful, the approach neglects the procedures as how to obtain results in the tables. For further examples of the correlation method, see Refs. 58-61, and the Correlation Theory Bibliography.
