Unrestricted Hartree (unrestricted + hartree)
Selected AbstractsBroken symmetry approach and chemical susceptibility of carbon nanotubesINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2010Elena F. Sheka Abstract Constituting a part of odd electrons that are excluded from the covalent bonding, effectively unpaired electrons are posed by the singlet instability of the single-determinant broken spin-symmetry unrestricted Hartree,Fock (UBS HF) SCF solution. The correct determination of the total number of effectively unpaired electrons ND and its fraction on each NDŔ atom is well provided by the UBS HF solution. The NDŔ value is offered to be a quantifier of atomic chemical susceptibility (or equivalently, reactivity) thus highlighting targets that are the most favorable for addition reactions of any type. The approach is illustrated for two families involving fragments of arm-chair (n,n) and zigzag (m,0) single-walled nanotubes different by the length and end structure. Short and long tubes as well as tubes with capped end and open end, in the latter case, both hydrogen terminated and empty, are considered. Algorithms of the quantitative description of any length tubes are suggested. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2010 [source] Optical spectra and covalent chemistry of fulleropyrrolidinesINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 14 2007B. S. Razbirin Abstract Low-temperature vibronic spectra of two fulleropyrrolidines (1-methyl-3,4-FP and 1-methyl-2(4-pyridine)-3,4-FP) embedded in crystalline toluene matrix have been studied. Two-component composition of the spectra has been established and charge-transfer-excitation origin of the structureless component has been suggested. Fine-structured Shpol'skii spectra were observed for 1-methyl-3,4-FP, which made possible to perform the vibrational analysis of its vibronic spectra. General similarities of the absorption spectra of fulleropyrrolidines and C60 molecules along with significant difference in their details have been discussed. A detailed interpretation of the C60 spectra serves as a basis for analyzing the spectra of the derivatives. Quantum-chemical study is based on the effectively-unpaired-electron concept for the fullerene molecule. Computations have been performed for the singlet states of the molecules in unrestricted Hartree,Fock approximation implemented in AM1 semiempirical quantum chemical codes of the CLUSTER-Z1 software. The population of the HOMO and LUMO of the molecules under study alongside with the lowering of the molecules symmetry have been proposed to explain the spectral features observed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007 [source] Chemical susceptibility of fullerenes in view of Hartree,Fock approachINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 14 2007Elena F. Sheka Abstract Constituting a part of fullerenes odd electrons which are removed from the covalent bonding (Int J Quantum Chem, 2004, 100, 375), effectively unpaired electrons are posed by the singlet instability of the unrestricted Hartree,Fock SCF solution. The feature occurs to be of a particular importance leading to a quantitative description of atomically matched chemical susceptibility of the odd-electron molecular species via the relevant electron density on atoms. A correct determination of the total number of effectively unpaired electrons ND and its partial density NDA is well provided by the UHF solution. The calculation procedure and the obtained results reliability are justified for a set of diatomic molecules and ethylene. Practically full identity of the distribution of both NDA values and independently calculated free valence over atoms of X60 (X = C, Si) and C70 molecules makes it possible to consider the NDA maps as chemical portraits of the fullerenes. The NDA value is offered to be a quantitative pointer of the atom chemical activity thus highlighting targets, which are the most favorable for addition reactions of any type. Basic grounds for a NDA -based computational synthesis of the fullerene derivatives are illustrated for initial steps of C60 fluorination. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007 [source] Restricted and unrestricted Hartree,Fock approaches applied to spherical quantum dots in a magnetic fieldINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 9 2006C. F. Destefani Abstract The Roothaan and Pople,Nesbet approaches for real atoms are adapted to quantum dots in the presence of a magnetic field. Single-particle Gaussian basis sets are constructed, for each dot radius, under the condition of maximum overlap with the exact functions. The chemical potential, charging energy, and total spin expected values are calculated, and we have verified the validity of the quantum dot energy shell structure as well as Hund's rule for electronic occupation at zero magnetic field. At finite field, we have observed the violation of Hund's rule and studied the influence of magnetic field on the closed and open energy shell configurations. We have also compared the present results with those obtained within the LS-coupling scheme for low electronic occupation numbers. We focus only on ground-state properties and consider quantum dots populated up to 40 electrons, constructed by GaAs or InSb nanocrystals. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006 [source] Calculations of frequency-dependent molecular magnetizabilities with quasi-relativistic time-dependent generalized unrestricted Hartree,Fock methodJOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2007Terutaka Yoshizawa Abstract The time-dependent generalized unrestricted Hartree,Fock (TDGUHF) method combined with a two-component quasi-relativistic Hamiltonian generated from the Douglas,Kroll,Hess (DKH) transformation was developed to calculate frequency-dependent molecular magnetizabilities, which are the linear response quantity of a molecule to an external magnetic field. By calculating the magnetizabilities of H2X (X = O, S, Se, and Te), the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe) and small open shell molecules (CH2, CH3, and O2), we found that scalar relativistic terms affect mainly the diamagnetic magnetizability and spin-orbit (SO) interaction affects the paramagnetic magnetizability. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem 28: 740,747, 2007 [source] Specific force field parameters determination for the hybrid ab initio QM/MM LSCF methodJOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Issue 6 2002Nicolas Ferré Abstract The pure quantum mechanics method, called Local Self-Consistent Field (LSCF), that allows to optimize a wave function within the constraint that some predefined spinorbitals are kept frozen, is discussed. These spinorbitals can be of any shape, and their occupation numbers can be 0 or 1. Any post-Hartree,Fock method, based on the restricted or unrestricted Hartree,Fock Slater determinant, and Kohn,Sham-based DFT method are available. The LSCF method is easily applied to hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) procedure where the quantum and the classical parts are covalently bonded. The complete methodology of our hybrid QM/MM scheme is detailed for studies of macromolecular systems. Not only the energy but also the gradients are derived; thus, the full geometry optimization of the whole system is feasible. We show that only specific force field parameters are needed for a correct description of the molecule, they are given for some general chemical bonds. A careful analysis of the errors induced by the use of molecular mechanics in hybrid computation show that a general procedure can be derived to obtain accurate results at low computation effort. The methodology is applied to the structure determination of the crambin protein and to Menshutkin reactions between primary amines and chloromethane. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem 23: 610,624, 2002 [source] X-ray constrained unrestricted Hartree,Fock and Douglas,Kroll,Hess wavefunctionsACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION A, Issue 1 2010Martin Hudák The extension of the X-ray constrained (XC) wavefunction approach to open-shell systems using the unrestricted Hartree,Fock formalism is reported. The XC method is also extended to include relativistic effects using the scalar second-order Douglas,Kroll,Hess approach. The relativistic effects on the charge and spin density on two model compounds containing the copper and iron atom are reported. The size of the relativistic effects is investigated in real and reciprocal space; in addition, picture-change effects are investigated and discussed for the isolated Cu atom. It is found that the relativistic terms lead to changes in the densities that are much smaller than those from the X-ray constraint. Nevertheless, the use of the relativistic corrections in the ab initio model always leads to an improvement in the agreement statistics. An interesting result of the unrestricted XC technique is the possibility of obtaining experimentally derived spin densities from X-ray data. [source] | ||||||||||
