Abstract: | A procedure for calculating the A term and the A/D ratio of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) within time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) is described. Utilizing an implementation of the MCD theory within the Amsterdam Density Functional program, the A term contributions to the MCD spectra of MnO(4) (-), CrO(4) (2-), VO(4) (3-), MoO(4) (2-), VO(4) (3-), MoS(4) (2-), Se(4) (2+), Te(4) (2+), Fe(CN)(6) (4-), Ni(CN)(4) (2-), trichlorobenzene, hexachlorobenzene, tribromobenzene, and hexabromobenzene are calculated. For the most part, agreement between theory and experiment for A/D ratios and the relative magnitude of A terms is found to be good, leading to simulated spectra that are similar in appearance to those derived from measurements. The A terms are found to be too small whenever comparison with experiment was possible, probably due to the neglect of environment effects on the incident radiation and the relative low accuracy of dipole strengths calculated within TD-DFT. |
