  • Semiempirical Implementations of Molecular
    Semiempirical Implementations of Molecular Orbital Theory How one can make Hartree-Fock theory less computationally intensive without much sacrificing its accuracy? The most demanding step – calculation of two-electron (four-index) integrals (J and K integrals) appearing in the Fock matrix elements (N4 where N is the number of basis functions). One way to save time – to estimate their value accurately in an a priori fashion and thus to avoid numerical integration. Coulomb integrals measure the repulsion between electrons in regions of space defined by the basis functions. When the basis functions in the integral for one electron are very far from the basis functions for the other, the value of that integral will approach zero. In a large molecule, one might be able to avoid the calculation of a very large number of integrals simply by assuming them to be zero. HF theory is intrinsically inaccurate as it does not include correlation energy. Therefore, modifications of the theory introduced in order to simplify its formalism may actually improve it, provided the new approximations somehow introduce an accounting for correlation energy. Most typically, such approximations involve the adoption of a parametric form for some aspect of the calculation where the parameters involved are chosen so as best reproduce experimental data – ‘semiempirical’. Another motivation for introducing semiempirical approximation into HF theory was to facilitate the computation of derivatives (gradients, Hessians) so that geometries could be more efficiently optimized. Extended Hückel Theory Before considering semiempirical methods we revisit Hückel theory: H11 − ES11 H12 − ES12 L H1N − ES1N H21 − ES21 H22 − ES22 L H2N − ES2N = 0 M M O M H − ES H − ES H − ES N1 N1 N2 N 2 L NN NN The dimension of the secular determinant depends on the choice of the basis set.

Semiempirical quantum-chemical methods Walter Thiel Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz 1, 45470 Mülheim, Germany [email protected] Abstract The semiempirical methods of quantum chemistry are reviewed, with emphasis on established NDDO-based methods (MNDO, AM1, PM3) and on the more recent orthogonalization-corrected methods (OM1, OM2, OM3). After a brief historical overview, the methodology is presented in non- technical terms, covering the underlying concepts, parameterization strategies, and computational aspects, as well as linear scaling and hybrid approaches. The application section addresses selected recent benchmarks and surveys ground-state and excited-state studies, including recent OM2- based excited-state dynamics investigations. Introduction Quantum mechanics provides the conceptual framework for understanding chemistry and the theoretical foundation for computational methods that model the electronic structure of chemical compounds. There are three types of such approaches: Quantum-chemical ab initio methods provide a convergent path to the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation and can therefore give “the right answer for the right reason”, but they are costly and thus restricted to relatively small molecules (at least in the case of the highly accurate correlated approaches). Density functional theory (DFT) has become the workhorse of computational chemistry because of its favourable price/performance ratio, allowing for fairly accurate calculations on medium-size molecules, but there is no systematic path of improvement in spite of the first-principles character of DFT.

Abstract: We describe the procedure to start an SCF calculation of the general type from a sum of atomic electron densities, as implemented in GAMESS-UK. Although the procedure is well known for closed-shell calculations and was already suggested when the Direct SCF procedure was proposed, the general procedure is less obvious. For instance, there is no need to converge the corresponding closed-shell Hartree–Fock calculation when dealing with an open-shell species. We describe the various choices and illustrate them with test calculations, showing that the procedure is easier, and on average better, than starting from a converged minimal basis calculation and much better than using a bare nucleus Hamiltonian. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Covalent Bonding How do these work? Covalent bonding occurs between atoms that have quite high electronegativities, i.e. between two non- metals. Example: H + H sssssd H— H In covalent bonding the two atoms involved share some of their valence electrons. The attraction of the two nuclei for these shared electrons results in the atoms being bonded together.

  • Computational Studies on Carbohydrates: I. Density Functional Ab Initio Geometry Optimization on Maltose Conformations
    Computational Studies on Carbohydrates: I. Density Functional Ab Initio Geometry Optimization on Maltose Conformations F. A. MOMANY, J. L. WILLETT Plant Polymer Research, National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, USDA, Agricultural Research Service, 1815 N. University St., Peoria, Illinois 61604 Received 10 September 1999; accepted 10 May 2000 ABSTRACT: Ab initio geometry optimization was carried out on 10 selected conformations of maltose and two 2-methoxytetrahydropyran conformations using the density functional denoted B3LYP combined with two basis sets. The 6-31G∗ and 6-311CCG∗∗ basis sets make up the B3LYP/6-31G∗ and B3LYP/6-311CCG∗∗ procedures. Internal coordinates were fully relaxed, and structures were gradient optimized at both levels of theory. Ten conformations were studied at the B3LYP/6-31G∗ level, and five of these were continued with ∗∗ full gradient optimization at the B3LYP/6-311CCG level of theory. The details of the ab initio optimized geometries are presented here, with particular attention given to the positions of the atoms around the anomeric center and the effect of the particular anomer and hydrogen bonding pattern on the maltose ring structures and relative conformational energies. The size and complexity of the hydrogen-bonding network prevented a rigorous search of conformational space by ab initio calculations. However, using empirical force fields, low-energy conformers of maltose were found that were subsequently gradient optimized at the two ab initio levels of theory. Three classes of conformations were studied, as defined by the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of the hydroxyl groups, or a flipped conformer in which the -dihedral is rotated by ∼180◦.Different combinations of ! side-chain rotations gave energy differences of more than 6 kcal/mol above the lowest energy structure found.

A domain-based distributed-memory algorithm in the MPI/OpenMP hybrid framework has been designed to effectively utilize the memory bandwidth and significantly minimize the interconnect communication, particularly for the tensor contraction in the evaluation of the particle−particle ladder term. Our implementation features a rigorous avoidance of the on- the-fly disk storage and excellent strong scaling of up to 10 000 and more cores. Taking a set of molecules with different sizes, we demonstrate that the parallel performance of our CCSD(T) code is competitive with the CC implementations in state-of- the-art high-performance-computing computational chemistry packages. We also demonstrate that the numerical error due to the use of RI approximation in our RI-CCSD(T) method is negligibly small. Together with the correlation-consistent numeric atom-centered orbital (NAO) basis sets, NAO-VCC-nZ, the method is applied to produce accurate theoretical reference data for 22 bio-oriented weak interactions (S22), 11 conformational energies of gaseous cysteine conformers (CYCONF), and 32 Downloaded via FRITZ HABER INST DER MPI on January 8, 2021 at 22:13:06 (UTC).

  • Inter and Intra Molecular Forces
    Properties of Solutions Why do things Melt or boil? Made by Schweitzer 10-25-04 What factors affect whether a substance will be a solid, liquid or a gas? Simple…Attraction The more attraction there are between the atoms the more likely they will be a liquid or a solid. If there isn’t any attraction then they will be a gas. Think of these attractions like glue. The more glue the harder it is to separate. Therefore higher boiling points and more likely to be a liquid or even solid at room temperature. Types of Solids Type of solid is determined by type of bond Ionic: metal= Non-metal Covalent: non-metal = non-metal Metallic: metals Network covalent: only C, Si, Ge Types of Bonds Ionic Very strong bond. Results in a solid with very high melting points. High Attractions are due to + and negative ions bundled together in a lattice crystal.

  • Semiemprical Methods Chapter 5 Semiemprical Methods
    Semiemprical Methods Chapter 5 Semiemprical Methods Because of the difficulties in applying ab initio methods to medium and large molecules, many semiempirical methods have been developed to treat such molecules. The earliest semiempirical methods treated only the π electrons of conjugated molecules. In the π-electron approximation, the nπ π electrons are treated separately by incorporating the effects of the σ electrons and the nuclei into some sort of effective π- electron Hamiltonian Ĥπ (recall the similar valence-electron approximation where Vi is the potential energy of the ith π electron in the field produced by the nuclei and the σ electrons. The core is everything except the π electrons. The most celebrated semiempirical π-electron theory is the Hückel molecular-orbital (HMO) method, developed in the 1930s to treat planar conjugated hydrocarbons. Here the π-electron Hamiltonian is approximated by the simpler form where Ĥeff(i) incorporates the effects of the π-electron repulsions in an average way. In fact the Hückel method does not specify any explicit form for Ĥeff(i). Since the Hückel π-electron Hamiltonian is the sum of one-electron Hamiltonians, a separation of variables is possible. We have The wave function takes no account of spin or the antisymmetry requirement. To do so, we must put each electron in a spin-orbital ui=ii. The wave function π is then written as a Slater determinant of spin-orbitals. Since Ĥeff(i) is not specified, there is no point in trying to solve above eq. directly. Instead, the variational method is used. The next assumption in the HMO method is to approximate the π MOs as LCAOs.
