A major objective of this book is to evaluate the reported values of molecular electron affinities and their errors and to assign them to specific states. Prior to 1970 the magnetron and ECD methods were used to measure the majority of gas phase molecular electron affinities. An extensive compilation of unevaluated experimental, empirical, and theoretical electron affinities of atoms, molecules, and radicals was published before 1990 [9]. The electron affinities measured in the gas phase are now available on the Internet but have not been evaluated [26]. The molecular Ea in this list is defined and evaluated in Appendix IV. Values that are significantly lower than the selected values will be assigned to excited states. Semi-empirical calculations and the CURES-EC technique support these assignments. Unpublished electron affinities and updated electron affinities from charge transfer complex data and half-wave reduction potentials are given in Appendix IV. [Pg.4]

The electron affinities of the aromatic hydrocarbons have been calculated using Huckel theory and MINDO/3 procedures. The electron affinities of benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, and tetracene have been calculated by density functional and ab initio procedures [8]. The relationship between the experimental and calculated values is examined. The electron affinities of other organic compounds have been calculated using MNDO, density functional, and ab initio procedures [9]. A more thorough discussion of these experimental and theoretical methods can be found in Electron and Molecule Interactions and Their Applications, Volume 2, Chapter 6. The experimental and theoretical electron affinities of atoms, molecules, and radicals up to 1984 are listed but not evaluated [10]. The NIST site briefly discusses the various methods for determining electron affinities and gives an... [Pg.104]

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. [Pg.156]

Ionization potentials and electron affinities are among the most theoretically useful physical quantities. While the measurement of electron affinities is still... [Pg.351]

Figure 9. Determination of the first electron affinity, and the first and higher ionization potentials of formyl radical from the SCF orbital energies and electronic repulsion integrals, and K,j (cf. eqs. (90), (92), and (93)). The experimental value (112), 9.88 eV, for the first ionization potential corresponds to the theoretical value I . All entries are given in eV. With A and I a lower index stands for MO the upper one indicates the state multiplicity after ionization. Figure 9.

Related Polymer Systems and Synthetic Methods. Figure 12A shows a hypothetical synthesis of poly (p-phenylene methide) (PPM) from polybenzyl by redox-induced elimination. In principle, it should be possible to accomplish this experimentally under similar chemical and electrochemical redox conditions as those used here for the related polythiophenes. The electronic properties of PPM have recently been theoretically calculated by Boudreaux et al (16), including bandgap (1.17 eV) bandwidth (0.44 eV) ionization potential (4.2 eV) electron affinity (3.03 eV) oxidation potential (-0.20 vs SCE) reduction potential (-1.37 eV vs SCE). PPM has recently been synthesized and doped to a semiconductor (24). [Pg.453]

Our implementation computes only vertical ionization energies and electron affinities, but experimental results for the G2 species are adiabatic. To facilitate a direct comparison between the theoretical and experimental results, it is necessary that either the theoretical results be corrected to adiabatic values or that the adiabatic values be related to vertical ones. We have chosen the latter approach and have corrected the experimental results with computational data. [Pg.151]

The theoretical interest in the LiH has increased since the electron affinity of LiH and its deuterated counterpart, LiD, were measured with the use of the photoelectron spectroscopy by Bowen and co-workers [126]. The adiabatic electron affinities of LiH and LiD determined in that experiment were 0.342 0.012 eV for the former and 0.337 0.012 eV for the latter system. The appearance of these data posed a challenge for theory to reproduce those values in rigorous calculations based on the first principles. Since the two systems are small, it has been particularly interesting to see if the experimental EAs can be reproduced in calculations where the BO approximation is not assumed [123]. [Pg.427]

For reproducing as closely as possible diabatic conditions, we have fixed the Cl—Cl bondlength at its neutral equilibrium value. This way, the system depends on two parameters as shown in Figure 1. Previous experimental and theoretical studies on similar systems, [1,18] have shown that electron jump from Li to the acceptor molecule CI2, which has, once relaxed, a positive vertical electron affinity (see Table 1), is likely to take place at a distance d, (see the definition of this parameter in Figure 1) which is superior to the LiCl equilibrium distance (MP2 value 2.0425 A). The description of this phenomenon in terms of MO and states will be briefly recalled in the next section. [Pg.347]
