聚炔、累积多烯与全碳环分子的模糊对称性

近年来我们关于分子模糊对称性的工作多属于模糊点对称性的研究, 关于模糊空间对称性探讨较少. 聚炔作为线状一维模糊周期分子, 我们曾对其进行了初步分析. 虽然对于聚炔分子骨架的分析比较全面, 但由于繁冗的计算使我们对分子轨道(MO)模糊对称性的分析只限于少数典型分子. 本文将对不同的聚炔分子MO模糊对称性特征进行较为系统的分析. 结果表明包含不同碳原子数目的分子轨道模糊对称性参数值之间有一定相关性. 此外我们还对一些相关体系分子的MO进行分析, 累积多烯分子虽然并非线型分子, 但其π-MO相关的碳原子处于线性位置, 可依模糊一维周期的G11体系处理. 按Born-Karman近似, 即n个单元的一维周期对称群与Cn点群同构, 本文还分析了相关的全碳环分子的MO的对称性和模糊对称性. 努力寻求与一维周期性相关的模糊对称性规律性特征.

定域片断轨道基组的对称化

片断的UHF运算不能保证每个片断轨道具有确切的电子占据数,故Kost定域化是必需的.当片断产生于多键断裂时,在确保目标轨道单占据性的同时,Kost定域破坏了轨道基组的对称性.为此,在Kost定域化后,必须对单占据轨道作2×2对称化旋转后,再作有条件的RHF运算.以乙烯基片断CHCH(波二烯分子中的一个片断)为例,详述了对称化的方法、原理和计算程序.以C-H片断为例,细述三单键片断轨道基组对称化的特殊性.介绍C-HR参考键长选择的判据,探讨键长与选择Gaussian基组大小的关系.     

The Fuzzy D2h-symmetries of Ethylene Tetra-halide Molecules and their Molecular Orbitals

Based on our study in relation to the fuzzy symmetry characterization and the application to linear molecule, the fuzzy symmetry of the planar molecules have been analyzed. The prototypical planer molecules we have chosen to study are the C2F3X (X = Cl, Br, and I) and three kinds of C2F2Cl2 isomers. These molecules relate to the fuzzy symmetry in connection with the D2h point group. As we known, the D2h point group includes an identity transformation and seven twofold symmetry transformations but without higher-fold ones. Meanwhile, it is related only to some one-dimensional irreducible representations, but there is not to multi-dimensional irreducible representation. In this paper, the fuzzy symmetries of these molecules and their molecular orbital(MO)s have been studied, such as the membership functions, the representation compositions, the fuzzy correlation diagrams and so on have been analyzed. These analysis methods can be used to analyze the molecular fuzzy symmetries of some other molecule systems, no difficulty.     

Fuzzy ta/2 symmetries of straight chain conjugate polyene molecules

On the basis of our recent studies on the molecular fuzzy point group symmetry, we further probe into the more complicated planar one-dimensional fuzzy periodic molecules—straight chain conjugate polyene. Except for the fuzzy translation transformation, the space transformation of the fuzzy screw rotation and the glide plane will be referred to. In addition, other fuzzy point symmetry transformation lain in the space transformation is discussed. Usually there is a correlation between the fuzzy symmetry characterization caused by the transition of the point symmetry elements and by certain space symmetry transformation. For the molecular orbital, the irreducible representation component is analyzed besides the membership function of the fuzzy symmetry transformation. Also, we inquire into the relativity between some molecular property and the fuzzy symmetry characterization.     

Fuzzy space periodic symmetries for polyynes and their cyano-compounds

In our previous papers on the molecular fuzzy symmetry, we analyzed the basic characterization in connection with the fuzzy point group symmetry. In this paper, polyynes and their cyano-derivatives are chosen as a prototype of linear molecules to probe the one-dimensional fuzzy space group of parallel translation. It is notable that the space group is an infinite group whereas the point group is a finite group. For the fuzzy point group, we focus on considering the fuzzy characterization introduced due to the difference of atomic types in the monomer through point symmetry transformation in the beginning; and then we consider the difference between the infinity of space group and the finite size of real molecules. The difference between the point group and the space group lies in the translation symmetry transformation. This is the theme of this work. Starting with a simple case, we will only analyze the one-dimensional translation transformation and space fuzzy inversion symmetry transformation in this paper. The theory of the space group is often used in solid state physics; and some of its conclusions will be referred to. More complicated fuzzy space groups will be discussed in our future papers.     

The fuzzy D<Subscript>6h</Subscript>-symmetries of azines molecules and their molecular orbitals

Based on our previous study on the elementary characterization of fuzzy symmetry, we inquire into the fuzzy symmetries of some simple linear and plane molecules. These systems belong to point groups that include the identity and twofold symmetry elements, but not include higher multi-fold symmetry ones, and their molecular orbitals (MOs) only belong to one-dimension irreducible representations. In this paper, we take the azines as a typical model to examine the fuzzy symmetry in relation to the D_6h point group. As this group includes multi-fold symmetry elements such as a sixfold rotation axis, some of the MOs may belong to two-dimensional irreducible representations. We inquire into the fuzzy symmetry of these molecules and their MOs in terms of membership functions, representation components and correlation diagrams. In addition to these neutral closed shell molecules, pyridine hydride radical, anion, and cation are also analyzed.

Approximate symmetry characteristics using fuzzy-subset theory study for chiral transitions of allene-1,3,-dihalides

Based on our study of the application of fuzzy-subset theory to the characterization of imperfect symmetry in some stable molecular systems and simple dynamic molecular systems, we analyze the internal rotation process of allene-1,3- dihalides. Allene-1,3-dihalides (CHX=C=CHY, where X and Y may be the same or different halogen atoms) are optically chiral nonplanar molecules. The two end-groups may internally rotate about the near straight linear C=C=C axis, and the molecule may change its chirality. The internal rotation process may pass through two different planar transition state (TS): cis-TS and trans-TS, which belong to C_2v and C_2h point groups (as X and Y to be same), respectively. The intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) corresponding to the two TS processes is denoted as cis-IRC and trans-IRC. However, for the whole IRC reaction process, only their subgroup C₂ well-defined symmetry remains. Other symmetry transformations in C_2v and C_2h point groups can only be examined in terms of imperfect symmetry, although there appear certain reaction reversal joint point group G(R_cC_2v) and G(R_tC_2h) well-defined symmetry in the dynamics through the IRC processes. If X and Y are different, the stable molecule has no conventional nontrivial point group symmetry. The internal rotation processes may pass through two different planar TS’s (cis-and trans-TS). The TS will still be a planar molecule belonging to C_S point group with the molecule plane as its symmetry plane. Other states in the IRC may belong to certain reaction reversal joint point groups, G(RM)_C and G(RM)_T. We have thus examined the approximate symmetry of MO’s related to C₂ point group. Moreover, we have also analyzed the membership functions, representation components, and their relationships shown in the MO fuzzy main representation correlation diagrams.     

Fuzzy Symmetries for Linear Molecules and their Molecular Orbitals

In this paper, the fuzzy symmetry of some prototypical linear molecules has been analyzed. The results show that some molecular orbitals (MOs) are less symmetrical but some others are more symmetrical than the molecular skeleton, which the MOs correspond to. The membership functions of space inversion for MOs are closely related to the chemical characteristics of the MOs. Sometimes, although the symmetry of a molecular skeleton is not obvious, however that of some MO is quite obvious. The membership functions of the fuzzy inversion symmetry depend on the choice of the position of the center of inversion. As compared to those of diatomic molecules and linear tri-atomic molecules, the linear polyatomic molecules in which a distinctive fuzzy symmetry of space translation may exist, and thus a significant effect on their properties can be expected.     

Vector algebra and molecular symmetry: a tribute to Professor Josiah Willard Gibbs

Vector algebra, as developed by Josiah Willard Gibbs, is much simpler than matrix or tensor algebra, therefore, it is more suitable to introduce the students of chemistry into the wonderful world of molecular symmetry. A program based on elementary vector algebra has been written to determine all symmetry elements and symmetry operations of rigid molecular structures. The program also contains data for 57 point groups common in chemistry. Therefore, it automatically supplies the particular point group to which the structure belongs. Since the locations of the nuclei related to the symmetry elements are also revealed by the program, even the detailed notation of the framework group of the molecular structure can be deduced. The program can be a great help in determining the symmetries of the normal modes of vibration, too.
