    Advancing beyond charge analysis using the electronic localization function: Chemically intuitive distribution of electrostatic moments

    JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Issue 9 2008
    Julien Pilmé
    Abstract We propose here an evaluation of chemically intuitive distributed electrostatic moments using the topological analysis of the electron localization function (ELF). As this partition of the total charge density provides an accurate representation of the molecular dipole, the distributed electrostatic moments based on the ELF partition (DEMEP) allows computing of local moments located at non atomic centers such as lone pairs, , bonds and , systems. As the local dipole contribution can be decomposed in polarization and charge transfer components, our results indicate that local dipolar polarization of the lone pairs and chemical reactivity are closely related whereas the charge transfer contribution is the key factor driving the local bond dipole. Results on relevant molecules show that local dipole contributions can be used to rationalize inductive polarization effects in alcohols derivatives and typical hydrogen bond interactions. Moreover, bond quadrupole polarization moments being related to a , character enable to discuss bond multiplicities, and to sort families of molecules according to their bond order. That way, the nature of the CO bond has been revisited for several typical systems by means of the DEMEP analysis which appears also helpful to discuss aromaticity. Special attention has been given to the carbon monoxide molecule, to the CuCO complex and to a weak intramolecular N|---CO interaction involved in several biological systems. In this latter case, it is confirmed that the bond formation is mainly linked to the CO bond polarization. Transferability tests show that the approach is suitable for the design of advanced force fields. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem 2008 [source]

    A CSOV study of the difference between HF and DFT intermolecular interaction energy values: The importance of the charge transfer contribution

    JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2005
    Jean-Philip Piquemal
    Abstract Intermolecular interaction energy decompositions using the Constrained Space Orbital Variation (CSOV) method are carried out at the Hartree,Fock level on the one hand and using DFT with usual GGA functionals on the other for a number of model complexes to analyze the role of electron correlation in the intermolecular stabilization energy. In addition to the overall stabilization, the results provide information on the variation, with respect to the computational level, of the different contributions to the interaction energy. The complexes studied are the water linear dimer, the N -methylformamide dimer, the nucleic acid base pairs, the benzene,methane and benzene-N2 van der Waals complexes, [Cu+ -(ImH)3]2, where "ImH" stands for the Imidazole ligand, and ImH-Zn++. The variation of the frozen core energy (the sum of the intermolecular electrostatic energy and the Pauli repulsion energy) calculated from the unperturbed orbitals of the interacting entities indicates that the intramolecular correlation contributions can be stabilizing as well as destabilizing, and that general trends can be derived from the results obtained using usual density functionals. The most important difference between the values obtained from HF and DFT computations concerns the charge transfer contribution, which, in most cases, undergoes the largest increase. The physical meaning of these results is discussed. The present work gives reference calculations that might be used to parametrize new correlated molecular mechanics potentials. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    IR, Raman and SERS spectra of ethyl salicylate

    JOURNAL OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY, Issue 12 2009
    C. Yohannan Panicker
    Abstract The IR and Raman spectra of ethyl salicylate were recorded and analyzed. The surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum was recorded in a silver colloid. The vibrational wavenumbers of the compound have been computed using the Hartree-Fock/6-31G* basis. The direction of charge transfer contribution to SERS has been discussed from the frontier orbital theory. The presence of methyl modes in the SERS spectrum indicates the nearness of the methyl group to the metal surface and the presence of ring vibrations and out-of-plane ring modes in the SERS spectrum suggests a flat orientation of the molecule on the silver surface. The first hyperpolarizability is calculated and the calculated molecular geometry has been compared with the reported similar structures. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]
