Two valencies instead of one! Stoichiometric valence and structural valence are two distinct properties of atoms. The former, stoichV, is derived from the composition of a compound and has integer values; the latter, structV, depends on the structure of a compound and has non‐integer values. The scheme shows a representation of valence states of antimony and oxidation of SbIII to SbV, as a function of the eccentricity parameter Φ i.
An ab initio nonorthogonal valence bond program, called XMVB, is described in this article. The XMVB package uses Heitler-London-Slater-Pauling (HLSP) functions as state functions, and calculations can be performed with either all independent state functions for a molecule or preferably a few selected important state functions. Both our proposed paired-permanent-determinant approach and conventional Slater determinant expansion algorithm are implemented for the evaluation of the Hamiltonian and overlap matrix elements among VB functions. XMVB contains the capabilities of valence bond self-consistent field (VBSCF), breathing orbital valence bond (BOVB), and valence bond configuration interaction (VBCI) computations. The VB orbitals, used to construct VB functions, can be defined flexibly in the calculations depending on particular applications and focused problems, and they may be strictly localized, delocalized, or bonded-distorted (semidelocalized). The parallel version of XMVB based on MPI (Message Passing Interface) is also available. 相似文献
The molecular orbitals obtained from conventional quantum chemistry calculations, are expressed in terms of symmetrized valence bond functions of fragment, and a direct picture of chemical bonding can be drawn easily. This method is utilized, together with extended Huckel calculations, to interpret the bonding properties of a centipede-like chain structure for novel laser-producing boranes B3k+pH5k+p+3- which is constructed from the repeated unit B3H5 linked to each other by three B-H-B bonds. 相似文献
The π electronic delocalization in trans-C4H6 and cis-C4H6 has been investigated in the frame of ab initio valence bond theory with 6-31G basis set. The result shows that the Csp2-Csp2 single bond length (1.506 A) is only about 0.024 A shorter than the Csp3-Csp3 bond, thus the central bond length shortening would be mainly due to π conjugation. The theoretical resonance energies of the trans-C4H6 and cis-C4H6 are 8.48 and 7.44 kcal/mol, respectively. 相似文献
Ab initio valence bond method is employed to quantitatively study the concepts of ionic resonance energy and ionicity of a chemical bond in the cases of hydrides XH(X=Li,Be,B,C,N,O,F) and fluorides XF(X=Li,Be,B),By establishing the relationship between resonance and stability,and comparing the calculated ionicities with Pauling‘s earlier estimations in the above diatomic molecules,the merits of Pauling‘s classical resonance theory were demonstrated at the ab initio level. 相似文献
