镱硫属化合物的密度泛函理论研究

用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究镱硫属化合物的电子结构和性质,通过与实验比较考察了现有的几种近似密度泛函公式对镧系元素化合物的适用程度和相对论效应的影响.结果表明,用DFT计算的YbO键长对实验值的偏差约为0.002nm;但得到的键能即使在考虑梯度校正和相对论效应之后,仍比实验值高,在定域密度近似基础上引入交换梯度校正使键能计算值减小,其中PW86x使键能计算值减小稍多些,结果更接近实验值;相关梯度校正使键能计算值升高.相对论效应使键长缩短0.004～0.006nm,键能减小约0.5eV.计算结果的分析表明,Yb的5d轨道和配体的np轨道间形成σ键和π键.在所研究的分子体系中,配体原子从O到Te、Yb原子的5d轨道布后数依次减少,同键能减弱的顺序一致.相对论效应使键能减小的主要原因是在成键过程中发生了Yb的6s电子向5d轨道的转移,而相对论效应使该过程能量增加.偶极矩和电荷分布的计算表明,Yb-L键以共价性为主,相对论效应使共价性成份增加.

Exchange and correlation in density functional theory and quantum chemistry

The nature of exchange, dynamic correlation (DC) and left–right correlation (LRC) is considered in density functional theory and wavefunction‐based quantum chemistry. The presence of LRC in approximate exchange density functionals is highlighted and the separation of LRC and DC is considered. For H₂, the Heitler–London approach is shown to include the essential elements of exchange and LRC. The arguments are illustrated by a comparison of Gaussian orbital s‐optimised Heitler–London and OPTX potential energy curves. They agree well near equilibrium, but differ at large distances due to the inability of the OPTX form to describe the dissociation process. LRC and DC values determined using the two approaches are compared. The influence of higher angular momentum functions in the Heitler–London approach is then investigated (commonly called self‐consistent valence bond); the agreement with OPTX degrades, leading to a larger value of LRC and a smaller value of DC at H₂ equilibrium. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Exploring odd-even effects of simple oligomer-like DRCNnT series: a study based on density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory calculations

Odd-even effects of short-circuit current density and power conversion efficiency (PCE) are an interesting phenomenon in some organic solar cells. Although some explanations have been given, why they behave in such a way is still an open question. In the present work, we investigate a set of acceptor-donor-acceptor simple oligomer-like small molecules, named the DRCNnT (n = 5-9) series, to give an insight into this phenomenon because the solar cells based on them have high PCE (up to 10.08%) and show strong odd-even effects in experiments. By modeling the DRCNnT series and using density functional theory, we have studied the ground-state electronic structures of the DRCNnT (n = 5-9) series in condensed phase. The calculated results reproduce the experimental trends well. Furthermore, we find that the exciton-binding energies of the DRCNnT series may be one of the key parameters to explain this phenomenon because they also show odd-even effects. In addition, by studying the effects of alkyl branch and terminal group on odd-even effects of dipole moment, we find that eliminating one or two alkyl branches does not break the odd-even effects of dipole moments, but eliminating one or two terminal groups does. Finally, we conclude that removing one alkyl branch close to the terminal group of DRCN5T can decrease highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy (thus increasing open circuit voltage) and increase dipole moment (thus enhancing charge separation and short-circuit current). This could be a new and simple method to increase the PCE of DRCN5T-based solar cells.     

Actinium coordination chemistry: A density functional theory study with monodentate and bidentate ligands

In the current study, the coordination chemistry of nine-coordinate Ac(III) complexes with 35 monodentate and bidentate ligands was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) in terms of their geometries, charges, reaction energies, and bonding interactions. The energy decomposition analysis with naturals orbitals for chemical valence (EDA-NOCV) and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) were employed as analysis methods. Trivalent Ac exhibits the highest affinities toward hard acids (such as charged oxophilic donors, fluoride), so its classification as a hard acid is justified. Natural population analysis quantified the involvement of 5f orbitals on Ac to be about 30% of total valence electron natural configuration indicating that Ac is a member of the actinide series. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to study the pairwise correlations among the bond lengths, ΔG reaction energies, charges on Ac and donor atoms, and data from EDA-NOCV and QTAIM. Strong correlations and anticorrelations were found between Voronoi charges on donor atoms with ΔG, EDA-NOCV interaction energies and QTAIM bond critical point densities.     

Regional self-interaction correction of density functional theory

We propose a new simple scheme for self-interaction correction (SIC) of exchange functionals in the density functional theory. In the new scheme, exchange energies are corrected by substituting exchange self-interactions for exchange functionals in regions of self-interaction. To classify the regions of self-interaction, we take advantage of the property of the total kinetic energy density approaching the Weizs?cker density in the case of electrons in isolated orbitals. The scheme differs from conventional SIC methods in that it produces optimized molecular structures. Applying the scheme to the calculation of reaction energy barriers showed that it provides a clear improvement in cases where the barriers are underestimated by conventional "pure" functionals. In particular, we found that this scheme even reproduces a transition state that is not given by pure functionals.     

Exchange and correlation energy in density functional theory

Several different versions of density functional theory (DFT) that satisfy Hohenberg–Kohn theorems are characterized by different definitions of a reference or model state determined by an N‐electron ground state. A common formalism is developed in which exact Kohn–Sham equations are derived for standard Kohn–Sham theory, for reference‐state density functional theory, and for unrestricted Hartree–Fock (UHF) theory considered as an exactly soluble model Hohenberg–Kohn theory. A natural definition of exchange and correlation energy functionals is shown to be valid for all such theories. An easily computed necessary condition for the locality of exchange and correlation potentials is derived. While it is shown that in the UHF model of DFT the optimized effective potential (OEP) exchange satisfies this condition by construction, the derivation shows that this condition is not, in general, sufficient to define an exact local exchange potential. It serves as a test to eliminate proposed local potentials that are not exact for ground states. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 77: 521–525, 2000     

Differentiability of Lieb functional in electronic density functional theory

A solid understanding of the Lieb functional F_L is important because of its centrality in the foundations of electronic density functional theory. A basic question is whether directional derivatives of F_L at an ensemble‐V‐representable density are given by (minus) the potential. A widely accepted purported proof that F_L is Gâteaux differentiable at EV‐representable densities would say, “yes.” But that proof is fallacious, as shown here. F_L is not Gâteaux differentiable in the normal sense, nor is it continuous. By means of a constructive approach, however, we are able to show that the derivative of F_L at an EV‐representable density ρ₀ in the direction of ρ₁ is given by the potential if ρ₀ and ρ₁ are everywhere strictly greater than zero, and they and the ground state wave function have square integrable derivatives through second order. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
