Relativistic correlating basis sets for 57La and 89Ac

Developed and reported are compact yet efficient correlating basis sets for the ₅₇La and ₈₉Ac atoms, missing in the literature. Good performance of these correlating sets is exemplified in molecular applications to diatomic oxides and fluorides. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010     

Thermal Ammonia Activation by Cationic Transition‐Metal Hydrides of the First Row – Small but Mighty

The thermal reactions of cationic 3d transition‐metal hydrides MH⁺ (M=Sc–Zn, except V and Cu) with ammonia have been studied by gas‐phase experiments and computational methods. There are three primary reaction channels: 1) H₂ elimination by N? H bond activation, 2) ligand exchange under the formation of M(NH₃)⁺, and 3) proton transfer to yield NH₄⁺. Computational studies of these three reaction channels have been performed for the couples MH⁺/NH₃ (M=Sc–Zn) to elucidate mechanistic aspects and characteristic reaction patterns of the first row. For N? H activation, σ‐bond metathesis was found to be operative.

On the use of Laplace's equation for global predictions of internuclear separation and dissociation energy

Properties of target species can be estimated by various means including interpolations in periodic charts. Interpolation is equivalent to numerical solution of the Laplace equation. A test of this equivalence, within some confidence level, for any N-atomic molecule surrounded by 4N nearest neighbors: the sum of the second differences of the data in all directions must be zero. Since very few molecules have 4N neighbors with known data, the test becomes: the sum of the averages of the second differences must be zero. The validity of these tests is explored. For radii of main-group atoms, and for internuclear separations of their diatomic combinations, the averages are different from zero and the sums of the averages are zero to within one if second-nearest neighbors are used. Dissociation potentials pass the tests but with larger scatter. Predictions for dissociation potentials, using iterative interpolation within boundaries on which there are known data, are reviewed.     

Evaluation of the Coulomb energy in relativistic self-consistent-field theory

 Computational schemes are presented with which to evaluate the electrostatic Coulomb energy in relativistic molecular electronic structure calculations using a basis of four-component Dirac spinor amplitudes. We demonstrate that algorithms may be constructed and implemented which differ only in minor details from those in common use in nonrelativistic quantum chemistry, and that the four-component formalism is neither as complicated nor as expensive as has been suggested recently in the literature. Spherically symmetrical atomic basis sets are presented which indicate that accurate representations of the Coulomb energy may be obtained using modest expansions of the electronic density in a scalar auxiliary basis set of spherical harmonic Gaussian-type functions.

Optimization of St John's Wort flavonoid separation by reversed phase liquid chromatography on a silica-based monolithic column

Summary An optimization procedure for the separation of flavonoids from St John's Wort by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on monolithic stationary phase is described. Three-component mobile phase systems are studied using experimental design methodology. The starting experimental domain is a triangle, each vertex of which is a pure component. From preliminary isocratic experiments, truncations in the domain are performed leading to a quadrilateral shape working domain with no symmetry. To cope with both separation and analysis time, desirability functions are used. Optimal conditions are finally given by binary systems and the four flavonoids are separated in less than seven minutes.     

Thermodynamics of dimethylene urethane and poly(dimethylene urethane) in the range from T → 0 to 490 K at standard pressure

By high-precision dynamic calorimetry the temperature dependences of heat capacity of dimethylene urethane (DMU) between 320 and 370 K and partially crystalline poly(dimethylene urethane) (PDMU) in the range 326-490 K at standard pressure have been determined within ±1.5%. The thermodynamic characteristics of fusion of the substances, namely the temperature interval of melting, temperature, enthalpy and entropy of fusion, as well as the characteristics of devitrification and glassy state for poly(dimethylene urethane) have been estimated. The first and the second cryoscopic constants have been calculated for dimethylene urethane. The experimental data obtained in the present work and literature findings on the heat capacity of the substances were used to calculate their thermodynamic functions: the heat capacity C°_p (T), enthalpy H°(T)−H°(0), entropy S°(T) and Gibbs function G°(T)−H°(0) over the range from T→0 to (370-480) K. Based on the data, the thermodynamic characteristics of polymerization process with five-membered ring opening Δ_polH°, Δ_polS° and Δ_polG° of dimethylene urethane with the formation of linear partially crystalline poly(dimethylene urethane) have been evaluated.     

Closed‐form rectangular atomic wave functions of an N‐dimensional atom

A closed‐form expression has been derived to obtain the N‐dimensional rectangular atomic wave functions. The wave functions can be obtained straightforwardly with the knowledge of the angular momentum quantum numbers and the dimension and there is no need to employ recursive methods as in previous works. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The generator coordinate method in the unrestricted Hartree‐Fock formalism

The generator coordinate method was implemented in the unrestricted Hartree‐Fock formalism. Weight functions were built from Gaussian generator functions for 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals of carbon and oxygen atoms. These weight functions show a similar behavior to those found in the generator coordinate restricted Hartree‐Fock method, i.e., they are smooth, continuous, and tend to zero in the limits of integration. Moreover, the weight functions obtained are different for spin‐up and spin‐down electrons what is a result from spin polarization. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2012
