On the accuracy of correlation energy calculated by the correlation factor method: first- and second-row atoms

Summary The correlation energy of two- and four-isoelectronic series, a representative example for which the existing spin-density functionals fails, is calculated using the Colle and Salvetti method, considering mono- and multideterminantal wave functions. The results are in agreement with experimental data, and show the potentiality of this method when it is applied to wave functions including the most relevant configurational features. Also, results for the ionization energies and electron affinities of first- and second-row atoms are reported.     

Ion transport in Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, and Pb2+ beta″ aluminas

Single crystals of Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, and Pb²⁺ beta″ alumina were prepared from sodium beta″ alumina by ion exchange. The ionic conductivities of Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, and Ba²⁺ beta″ alumina are comparable, about 3 × 10^?2 (ohm-cm)^?1 at 300°C. Surprisingly, Pb²⁺ beta″ alumina is much more conductive, 1.5 × 10^?1 (ohm-cm)^?1 at 300°C and 4.6 × 10^?3 (ohm-cm)^?1 at 40°C. Its conductivity approaches that of sodium beta″ alumina at temperatures below 25°C. The diffusion coefficient for Sr²⁺ in beta″ alumina at 600°C was estimated from radiotracer experiments. It is consistent with that expected from conductivity measurements.     

Optical oscillator strengths of 3p63d 2D → 3p53d22po, 2Do, 2Fo transitions in Co8+, Cu1O+ and Zn11+ ions

We have calculated the excitation thresholds and optical oscillator strengths (OOS) for 3p⁶3d ²D → 3p⁵3d²²po, ²Do and ²F^o transitions Co⁺⁸, Cu¹⁰⁺ and Zn¹¹⁺ ions of the potassium isoelectronic sequence using Hartree-Fock (HF) and configuration interaction (Cl) wavefunctions for both initial and final states. Our Cl values of the length and velocity form of OOS are in good agreement with each other. The trends in the oscillator strengths for the potassium isoelectronic sequence are plotted.     

Ab initio MO calculations on the stable conformations and their binding energies of the ion-molecule complexes: Ion = H+, Li+, Na+, K+ Be2+, and molecule = CO and N2

The most stable conformation of ion-molecule complexes involving a CO molecule were surveyed by the use of Hartree-Fock (HF) MO and third-order Moller-Plesset perturbation (MP3) methods with a 6–31G* basis set ion = H⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Bc²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Ca²⁺. The MP3 level of theory reveals the ion-CO conformation in which the ion bonds to a carbon atom of CO to be the most stable; these MP3 results are contrary to the HF ones. Binding energies of ion-molecule complexes involving CO and N₂ were computed; MP3 energies are in good agreement with the experimental ones. The computed binding energies of cation-N₂ are about one-third of cation-NH₃ due to the absence of dipole moment and the smaller polarizability of N₂. The decrease in binding energy in cation-CO and -N₂ complexes, with increasing cation size, is mainly caused by the decrease of the electrostatic and polarization stabilizations.     

Reactions of chemically produced O2(1Δ) with Pb atoms

The potential of the chemical O₂(¹Δ) generator as a means of electronic excitation of metal atoms and oxides is demonstrated in a study of the reactions of O₂(¹Δ) with Pb. The resonant energy transfer process, Pb(³P_o) + O₂(¹Δ) → Pb(³P₁)+ O₂(³ν-), is found to be the key for producing excited Pb and PbO.

Relative formation of ground- and excited-state NO−2 in collisions of fast metastable atoms and molecules (Ar*, H*, D*, H*2, D*2) with NO2

Collisions ot fast metastable beams of Ar, H, and D atoms, and H₂ and D₂ molecules with NO₂ producing positive ions and NO^?₂ were studied. The ratio of the ³B₁-¹A₁ NO^?₂ cross sections is a linear function of the projectile velocity. This finding is tentatively interpreted in the framework of a Landau-Zener model Earlier results on O^?₂ are re-examined.

Conceptual problems in noble gas and fluorine chemistry,V:1 The difference in the reactions of the isoelectronic XeOF4 and IF5 with KrF+

The isoelectronic XeOF₄and IF₅ show numerous similarities: molecular geometry, formation of complexes with F^- donors and acceptors, complexation with graphite and with XeF₂. However, on reaction with KrF⁺, IF₅ forms an expected IF₆⁺ ion while XeOF₄ forms XeF₅⁺ and O₂⁺. In this paper we discuss this discordance and present an explanation for it. Nucleophilic displacement on fluorine by IF₅ forms the observed cation while the corresponding reaction with XeOF₄ is predicted to form the hypofluorite (XeF₄-OF)⁺. Subsequent substitution and elimination reactions of this hypofluorite produce the observed product.

Rotational analysis of the 201 and 211 bands in the Ã2Σ+-X̃ 2Π spectrum of N2O+

Analysis of new emission spectra of òΣ⁺-X? ²Π in N₂O⁺, including the forbidden components with Δν₂ = 1, have made it possible to locate all four vibronic components of the ν″₂ = 1 manifold. Principal rotational constants and spinvibronic terms are given. A previous estimate of the Renner parameter is revised to a value of ?0.179 ± 0.002.     

Collision rotational transfers in NaH A1Σ+ by He,Ar or H2 (and in KH A1Σ+ by H2)

The total and relative rotational transfer cross sections σ_total and σ_Ji-Jf, by collisions of NaH A¹Σ with He, Ar or H₂, are measured from υ′ = 4 and υ′ = 11, J₁′ = 6. The σ_total increase as υ′ increases. They are similar for He and H₂ but much greater for Ar especially at large υ′. In NaH A¹Σ⁺ the bond goes from covalent to ionic as υ′ increases: σ_total is very sensitive to an attractive potential due to the interaction of the permanent electric dipole moment of the molecule with the polarizability of the atom (α_Ar = 11 au, α_He = 1.37 au). The σ_Ji-Jf decrease monotonously as |J_f-J_i| increases and may be fitted by a scaling law. The variation with ΔJ depends on the colliding gas but does not change appreciably with υ′: most of the transfers could take place on the repulsive part of the interaction potential, the shape of which would not depend on υ′.     

Matrix isolation study of the interaction of excited argon atoms with CF2Cl2, CF2ClBr,and CF2Br2. Infrared spectra of the CF2Cl+ and CF2Br+ molecular ions

The infrared absorptions associated with the two CF stretching fundamentals of CF₂Cl⁺ and CF₂Br⁺ have been identified in studies of the matrix-isolated products of the interaction of excited argon atoms with CF₂Cl₂, CF₂ClBr, and CF₂Br₂. The exceptionally high values of the CF stretching frequencies obtained in these experiments are consistent with the implications of previous experimental and theoretical studies.

Molecular structure and character of bonding of mono and divalent metal cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, and Cu+) with guanosine: AIM and NBO analysis

The B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) density functional approach was used to study the gas-phase metal affinities of Guanosine (ribonucleoside) for the Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Cu⁺ cations. In this study we determine coordination geometries, binding strength, absolute metal ion affinities, and free energies for the most stable products. We have also compared the results for Guanosine, with our previously reported results for 2′-Deoxyguanosine. Based on the results, it is obvious that MIA is strongly dependent on the charge-to-size ratio of the cation. Guanosine interacts more strongly with Zn²⁺ than do with Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Cu⁺ and therefore stronger interactions lead to higher MIA. In both free molecules and their complexes, the Syn orientation of the base is stabilized by an intramolecular O5′–H···N3 hydrogen bond and the anti orientation of the base is stabilized by an intramolecular C–H···O hydrogen bond formed between the (C8-H8) and the O5′ atom of the sugar moiety. It is also interesting to mention that linear correlation between calculated MIA values and the atomic numbers (Z) of the metal ions of Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ were found. Furthermore, the influences of metal cationization on the strength of the N-glycosidic bond, torsion angles, angle of pseudorotation (P), and intramolecular C–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonds have been studied. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was performed to calculate the charge transfer and natural population analysis of the complexes. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) was also applied to determine the nature of interactions.     

Coincidence studies of fluorescence and dissociation processes in electronic excited states of I2+, Br2+, IBr+ and ICl+

The PIFCO technique in which mass-selected photoion—fluorescence photon coincidences are counted, was used to investigate whether I₂⁺, IBr⁺ and ICl⁺ fluoresce. Measurements were made of lifetimes and fluorescence quantum yields of electronic excited states of these ions. Emission was discovered for I₂⁺ and IBr⁺, but ICl⁺ apparently does not fluoresce. Information on the radiative properties of Br₂⁺ was obtained as a by-product of the work on IBr⁺. Fragment ion kinetic energy releases were determined and provide information on dissociative ionization processes in the halogen and interhalogen ions studied.     

b1Σ+ and a1Δ emissions from group VI-VI diatomic molecules: b0+ → X10+, x21 emissions of TeO and TeS

Near infrared emissions of the b0⁺→X₁0⁺, X₂1 band systems of TeO and TeS have been observed by chemiluminescence studies in a fast flow system. In both cases the b → X₁ and b → X₂ subtransitions were found to occur with similar intensities. Analysis of the spectra yielded values of the b0⁺ energies T_e of 9966 ^± 10 cm^?1 and 8457 ^± 10 cm^?1 for TeO and TeS, respectively, and vibrational separations ω_e in these states of 726 ^± 10 cm^?1 and 436 ^± 5 cm^?1. The energy splittings of the X₁0⁺ and X₂1 ground state levels were determined to be 789 ^± 10 cm^?1 and 829 ^± 5 cm^?1.
