  • Understanding the Bonding of Second Period Diatomic Molecules Spdf Vs MCAS
    Understanding the Bonding of Second Period Diatomic Molecules Spdf vs MCAS By Joel M Williams (text and images © 2013) The html version with updates and higher resolution images is at the author’s website (click here) Abstract The current spdf and MO modeling of chemical molecules are well-established, but do so by continuing to assume that non-classical physics is operating. The MCAS electron orbital model is an alternate particulate model based on classical physics. This paper describes its application to the diatomic molecules of the second period of the periodic table. In doing so, it addresses their molecular electrostatics, bond strengths, and electron affinities. Particular attention is given to the anomalies of the carbon diatom. Questions are raised about the sensibleness of the spdf model’s spatial ability to contain two electrons on an axis between diatoms and its ability to form π-bonds from parallel p-orbitals located over the nuclei of each atom. Nitrogen, carbon monoxide, oxygen, and fluorine all have the same inter-nuclei bonding: all “triple bonds” of varying strength caused by different numbers of anti-bonding electrons. The spdf model was devised for single atoms by physicists and mathematicians. Kowtowing to them, chemists produce hybrid orbitals to explain how atoms could actually form molecules. Drawing these hybrids and meshing them on paper might look great, but, constrained to measured interatomic physical dimensions and electrostatic interactions, bonding based on the spdf-hybrids (sp, sp2, sp3) is illogical. To have even one electron occupy the “bond” region between the nuclei of diatomic molecules, at the expense of reduced coverage elsewhere, does not make sense for stable molecules.

Isotope Separation in Discharge Plasmas of Molecular Gases EZOUBTCHENKO, Alexandre N.t, AKATSUKA Hiroshi and SUZUKI Masaaki Research Laboratory for Nuclear Reactors, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo 152-8550, Japan (Received 25 December 1997) Abstract We review the theoretical principles and the experimental methods of isotope separation achieved through the use of discharge plasmas of molecular gases. Isotope separation has been accomplished in various plasma chemical reactions. It is experimentally and theoretically shown that a state of non- equilibrium in the plasmas, especially in the vibrational distribution functions, is essential for the isotope redistribution in the reagents and products. Examples of the reactions, together with the isotope separ- ation factors known up to the present time, are shown to separate isotopic species of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the plasma phase, generated by glow discharge and microwave discharge.

Celik Sustainable energy production is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. This includes effective utilization of carbon-neutral energy resources as well as clean end-use application that do not emit CO2 and other pollutants. Hydrogen gas can potentially solve the latter problem, as a clean burning fuel with very high thermodynamic energy conversion efficiency in fuel cells. In this work we will be discussing two methods of obtaining hydrogen. The first is as a byproduct of light alkane dehydrogenation where we obtain a high value olefin along with hydrogen gas. The second is in methane steam reforming where hydrogen is the primary product. Chapter 1 begins by introducing the reader to the current state of the energy industry. Afterwards there is an overview of what density functional theory (DFT) is and how this computational technique can elucidate and complement laboratory experiments. It will also contain the general parameters and methodology of the VASP software package that runs the DFT calculations.

  • Chapter 10 Theories of Electronic Molecular Structure
    Chapter 10 Theories of Electronic Molecular Structure Solving the Schrödinger equation for a molecule first requires specifying the Hamiltonian and then finding the wavefunctions that satisfy the equation. The wavefunctions involve the coordinates of all the nuclei and electrons that comprise the molecule. The complete molecular Hamiltonian consists of several terms. The nuclear and electronic kinetic energy operators account for the motion of all of the nuclei and electrons. The Coulomb potential energy terms account for the interactions between the nuclei, the electrons, and the nuclei and electrons. Other terms account for the interactions between all the magnetic dipole moments and the interactions with any external electric or magnetic fields. The charge distribution of an atomic nucleus is not always spherical and, when appropriate, this asymmetry must be taken into account as well as the relativistic effect that a moving electron experiences as a change in mass. This complete Hamiltonian is too complicated and is not needed for many situations. In practice, only the terms that are essential for the purpose at hand are included. Consequently in the absence of external fields, interest in spin- spin and spin-orbit interactions, and in electron and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (ESR and NMR), the molecular Hamiltonian usually is considered to consist only of the kinetic and potential energy terms, and the Born- Oppenheimer approximation is made in order to separate the nuclear and electronic motion. In general, electronic wavefunctions for molecules are constructed from approximate one-electron wavefunctions. These one-electron functions are called molecular orbitals. The expectation value expression for the energy is used to optimize these functions, i.e.

  • Fullerenes and Pahs: a Novel Model Explains Their Formation Via
    Fullerenes and PAHs: A Novel Model Explains their Formation via Sequential Cycloaddition Reactions Involving C2 Dimers Sylvain L. Smadja [email protected] 10364 Almayo Ave., Suite 304 Los Angeles, CA 90064 “Cove” region closure C20 bowl + 10C2 creates pentagonal ring C50 + 5C2 [2 + 2 + 2] [4 + 2] Cycloadditions Cycloadditions Cage 5C 5C 2 2 closure “Cove” region C40 C50 C60 Buckministerfullerene ABSTRACT: Based on a new understanding of the nature of the bonding in the C2 dimer, a novel bottom-up model is offered that can explain the growth processes of fullerenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It is shown how growth sequences involving C2 dimers, that take place in carbon vapor, combustion systems, and the ISM, could give rise to a variety of bare carbon clusters. Among the bare carbon clusters thus formed, some could lead to fullerenes, while others, after hydrogenation, could lead to PAHs. We propose that the formation of hexagonal rings present in these bare carbon clusters are the result of [2+2+2] and [4+2] cycloaddition reactions that involve C2 dimers. In the C60 and C70 fullerenes, each of the twelve pentagons is surrounded by five hexagons and thereby “isolated” from each other. To explain why, we suggest that in bowl-shaped clusters the pentagons can form as the consequence of closures of “cove regions” that exist between hexagonal rings, and that they can also form during cage-closure, which results in the creation of six “isolated” pentagonal rings, and five hexagonal rings. The proposed growth mechanisms can account for the formation of fullerene isomers without the need to invoke the widely used Stone-Wales rearrangement.
