A method is described which allows to approximate with a few parameters the Coulomb and exchange integrals employed in valence-electron-only SCF calculations. The necessary parameters for atoms from Li to Ar are given. Very good transferability from atomic to molecular systems and near coincidence with all-electron calculations are found for LiH, HF and HC1 molecules. Extension to other atoms is in progress. 相似文献
It is shown that non-convergent calculations of the Fermi contact term of spin-spin coupling constants within the self-consistent and finite perturbation schemes used to solve the coupled Hartree-Fock equations, are originated in non-singlet Hartree-Fock instabilities of the closed-shell restricted Hartree-Fock wavefunction. In CNDO/S and INDO/S wavefunctions, where the electronic system response has been successfully reproduced, all investigated molecules containing MOs were found to be unstable. Results of spin-spin coupling constants are given and compared with experimental as well as FP and SOS INDO values.Part of a Ph.D. thesis (G.E.S.) to be presented to the University of Buenos Aires.Comisión de Investigaciones Científicas (CIC, Pcia. de Bs.

The electronic structure of HOCN, HSCN, HNCO, and HNCS molecules and [OCN]? and [SCN]? anions has been studied by ab initio calculations at HF/6-31G(d), HF/6-31G(d, p), MP2/6-31G(d)//HF/6-31G(d), and MP2/6-31G(d, p)//HF/6-31G(d, p) levels of theory. The HNCO and HNCS molecules are shown to have higher thermodynamic stability than HOCN and HSCN, respectively. The protolyte strength series are substantiated: HSCN > HOCN, HNCS > HNCO, HOCN > HNCO, HSCN > HNCS. Computations including electron correlation [MP2/6-31G(d)//HF/6-31G(d) and MP2/6-31G(d, p)//HF/6-31G (d, p)] reproduce the general sequence of proton-donor properties: HSCN > HOCN > HNCS > HNCO, which coincides with the hydrophobicity series for the compounds. The relative proton-donor capacity of these acids in water solutions is generally governed by the electronic structure and by the size of their molecules and [OCN]? and [SCN]? anions, but not by medium effects. 相似文献
Localization, λ(A), and delocalization indices, δ(A,B), as defined in the atoms in molecules theory, are a convenient tool for the analysis of molecular electronic structure from
an electron-pair perspective. These indices can be calculated at any level of theory, provided that first- and second-order
electron densities are available. In particular, calculations at the Hartree–Fock (HF) and configuration interaction (CI)
levels have been previously reported for many molecules. However, λ(A) and δ(A,B) cannot be calculated exactly in the framework of Kohn–Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT), where the electron-pair
density is not defined. As a practical workaround, one can derive a HF-like electron-pair density from the KS orbitals and
calculate approximate localization and delocalization indices at the DFT level. Recently, several calculations using this
approach have been reported. Here we present HF, CI and approximate DFT calculations of λ(A) and δ(A,B) values for a number of molecules. Furthermore, we also perform approximate CI calculations using the HF formalism to obtain
the electron-pair density. In general, the approximate DFT and CI results are closer to the HF results than to the CI ones.
Indeed, the approximate calculations take into account Coulomb electron correlation effects on the first-order electron density
but not on the electron-pair density. In summary, approximate DFT and CI localization and delocalization indices are easy
to calculate and can be useful in the analysis of molecular electronic structure; however, one should take into account that
this approximation increases systematically the delocalization between covalently bonded atoms, with respect to the exact
CI results.

The present work reports vibrational spectra and density functional theory calculations for chloranil, imidazole and their complexes. The experimentally observed infrared and Raman bands have been assigned with the help of calculated vibrational frequencies and potential energy distribution analysis. Some bands of chloranil and imidazole have been found to shift on the complex formation due to partial electronic charge transfer from imidazole to chloranil. The charge transfer between these molecules is also corroborated by the electronic absorption spectroscopy and calculations. The theoretical values of the interaction energy of various possible chloranil-imidazole interactions suggest that the two molecules interact preferably via N and H atoms of imidazole and CO group of chloranil with their molecular planes almost perpendicular to each other. 相似文献
We have upgraded a Self-consistent-field – Hartree–Fock routine to include a finite nuclear mass correction for molecules developed in our laboratory. The new routine can handle isotopomers without calculating any nuclear kinetic energy matrix element. Tests on H2, LiH, HF, F2, and H2O isotopomers indicate the equivalence of our correction to the standard diagonal adiabatic correction. A further original application to C2H6 illustrates the usefulness of the method for polyatomic molecules. The resulting molecular orbitals carry the nuclear mass signature, exemplified with Koopmans ionization potentials.From the Proceedings of the 28th Congreso de Químicos Teóricos de Expresión Latina (QUITEL 2002) 相似文献
The potential energy surface of sulfoximines has been searched using ab initio MO and Density Functional Calculations. The electronic structures of the isomers of sulfoximine have been studied using HF/6-31+G*, MP2(full)/6-31+G* and B3LYP/6-31+G* levels. Final energies of these molecules have been calculated at the high accuracy G2 and CBS-Q levels. Though a formal SN double bond is generally considered between sulfur and nitrogen in these systems, theoretical studies do not show any π interaction between them. S-N rotational barriers, bond dissociation energies, atomic charge analysis, and NBO analysis all indicate only a single bond across S-N with a very strong ionic interaction. 相似文献
We present a computational approach, using quantum Monte Carlo, that provides some insight into the effect of electron correlation on chemical bonding between individual pairs of atoms. Our approach rests upon a recently suggested relation between the bond order and charge fluctuations with respect to atomic domains. Within the present implementation we have taken a compromise between conceptual rigour and computational simplicity. In a first step atomic domains were obtained from Hartree-Fock (HF) densities, using Bader’s definition of atoms in molecules. These domains were used in a second step in quantum Monte Carlo calculations to determine bond orders for pairs of atoms. Correlation effects have been studied by comparison of HF bond orders with those obtained from pure diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations. We illustrate this concept for C–O and C–S bonds in different molecular environments. Our results suggest an approximate linear relation between bond order and bond length for these kinds of bonds. 相似文献
The presence of long range coupling between hydrogen atoms is shown for the HF and H2O hydrogen bonded systems. The coupling of H atoms critically depends on the spatial orientation of the H atoms being considered. Explicit calculations of the potential curves of the protons are performed using as a model a ring of six HF, or H2O, molecules. The method of calculation is the CNDO/2. The strong similarities of the results for H2O and HF polymers supports the conclusion that the coupling is essentially due to factors such as the asymmetric equilibrium position of the H atoms, the high electronic polarizability of the system, etc. 相似文献
An intermediate electrostatic field is introduced to improve the accuracy of fragment‐based quantum‐chemical computational methods by including long‐range polarizations of biomolecules. The point charge distribution of the intermediate field is generated by a charge sensitivity analysis that is parameterized for five different population analyses, namely, atoms‐in‐molecules, Hirshfeld, Mulliken, natural orbital, and Voronoi population analysis. Two model systems are chosen to demonstrate the performance of the generalized elongation method (ELG) combined with the intermediate electrostatic field. The calculations are performed for the STO‐3G, 6‐31G, and 6‐31G(d) basis sets and compared with reference Hartree–Fock calculations. It is shown that the error in the total energy is reduced by one order of magnitude, independently of the population analyses used. This demonstrates the importance of long‐range polarization in electronic‐structure calculations by fragmentation techniques. 相似文献
Ab initio molecular orbital calculations at HF/6-31G, HF/6-31G (d,p) and DFT at B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) levels and molecular mechanics calculations of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for Bruice’s systems 1-6 indicate that the remarkable acceleration in the cyclization of di-carboxylic semi-esters 1-6 is solely the result of a strain effect and not proximity orientation stemming from the ‘reactive rotamer effect’. 相似文献
The PM3 molecular orbital method was employed in the conformational analysis of the inclusion complexation of -cyclodextrin with phenothiazine and its radical cation from a complete and unrestricted geometry optimization. Ab initio calculations at the level of HF/3-21G(d) and B3LYP/3-21G(d) were utilized to determine the electronic structures of the host, guest and their complexes. The results indicated that the complexation of -cyclodextrin with the phenothiazineradical cation was significantly more favorable than that with the neutral one, in good agreement with the experimental observation. The charge-transfer interaction was proposed as a physical reason for such behavior. It is suggested that caution should be given when extrapolating one oxidation state behavior to the supramolecular systems in their other oxidation states. 相似文献
An electrostatic field-adapted molecular fractionation with conjugated caps (EFA-MFCC) approach is implemented for treating macromolecules with several charge centers. The molecular fragmentation is performed in an "electrostatic field," which is described by putting point charges on charge centers, directly affecting the Hamiltonians of both fragments and conjugated caps. So the present method does not need truncation during the calculation of electrostatic interactions. Our test calculations on a series of charged model systems and biological macromolecules using the HF and B3LYP methods have demonstrated that this approach is capable of describing the electronic structure with accuracy comparable to other fragment-based methods. The EFA-MFCC approach is an alternative way for predicting the total energies of charged macromolecules with acyclic, loop, and intersectional loop structures and interaction energies between two molecules. 相似文献
The mechanism of interaction of low-energy atoms and ions of light elements (H, H+, He, Li, the kinetic energy of the particles 2-40 eV) with C6H6, C6F12, C60, and C60F48 molecules was studied by ab initio MD simulations and quantum-chemical calculations. It was shown that starting from 6 A from the carbon skeleton for the "C6H6 + proton" and "C60 + proton" systems, the electronic charge transfer from the aromatic molecule to H+ occurs with a probability close to 1. The process transforms the H+ to a hydrogen atom and the neutral C6H6 and C60 molecules to cation radicals. The mechanism of interaction of low-energy protons with C6F12 and C60F48 molecules has a substantially different character and can be considered qualitatively as the interaction between a neutral molecule and a point charge. The Coulomb perturbation of the system arising from the interaction of the uncompensated proton charge with the Mulliken charges of fluorine atoms results in an inversion of the energies of the electronic states localized on the proton and on the C6F12 and C60F48 molecules and makes the electronic charge transfer energetically unfavorable. On the different levels of theory, the barriers of the proton penetration for the C6F12 and C60F48 molecules are from two to four times lower than those for the corresponding parent systems (C6H6 and C60). The penetration barriers of the He atom and Li+ ion depend mainly on the effective radii of the bombarding particles. The theoretical penetration and escaped barriers for the "Li+ + C60" process qualitatively explain the experimental conditions of synthesis of the Li@C60 complex. 相似文献
(I) were performed for various angles between benzene ring planes by the B3LYP/6-31+G** method. It was shown that the stablest conformation of I (X=OCH3, OC3H7) should be the twist conformation with α= 37°, which was in agreement with the gas-phase experimental data. Rotation of benzene rings with respect to each other changed the relative orientation of the interacting π orbitals of the bridge ring carbon atoms and caused charge redistribution over molecule atoms, in particular, over terminal X and CN group atoms. The calculated period of charge oscillations on the alkyl and nitro groups coincided with the period of reversible charge transfer (~5–10 fs) between the conjugated subsystems (benzene ring + substituent) observed as the α angle changed. The rate of charge transfer between the electron donor and electron acceptor groups was calculated to be (3–6)×105 m/s. Charge oscillations on benzene ring carbon atoms and donor and acceptor groups did not cause similar dipole moment oscillations and vibrations in the IR spectrum. The dipole moment of the molecule decreases as the angle between benzene ring planes increases, and the passage to the “perpendicular” conformation should increase the C≡N stretching vibration frequency by ~5 cm?1 and decrease the intensity of the IR band by ~2 times. The elongation of the aliphatic chain in the X group did not cause noticeable changes in the geometric and electronic structure of the molecule.
Full geometry optimization for all 209 isomers of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and calculations of internal rotation potentials for 154 isomers have been performed by density functional method B3LYP/6-31G(d, p). Conformations and internal rotation barriers in PCBs were proved to depend on a number of chlorine atoms in ortho-positions and, less, the presence of chlorine atoms in adjacent meta-positions. Subject to the number of chlorine atoms in ortho-and adjacent meta-positions, 209 PCB isomers were classified into 18 groups, within each of them molecules having very close conformations and potentials of internal rotation. It makes possible to evaluate with high accuracy the potential functions of the last 55 PCB molecules for which potential curve calculations have not been made. 相似文献
