On the approximation of the similarity-transformed Hamiltonian in single-reference and multireference coupled cluster theory
2012
Abstract We consider the recursive single commutator (RSC) approximation of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff expansion introduced by Yanai and Chan [T. Yanai, G.K.-L. Chan, J. Chem. Phys. 124 (2006) 194106] and apply it in order to approximate the similarity transformation of the Hamiltonian in both traditional and unitary coupled cluster theory. The equilibrium bond distance, harmonic vibrational frequency, and anharmonic constant of H2, HF, N2, CuH, and Cu2 were computed using the coupled cluster approach with single and double excitations (CCSD) and CCSD with the RSC approximation of the similarity-transformed Hamiltonian (CCSD-RSC). Our results demonstrate that the RSC approximation introdu…

Construction of green nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts via non-covalent surface decoration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with Pd(II) complex…
2017
Abstract Green nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts were prepared via a bottom-up strategy. Designed ligands were synthesized joining covalently an electrondeficient pyrimidine residue and a scorpiand azamacrocycle. The desired molecular properties were easily transferred to nanostructured materials in two steps: first, exploiting their spontaneous chemisorption onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via the pyrimidinic moiety in water at room temperature, then, taking advantage of the easy coordination of Pd(II) to the azamacrocycle in the same conditions. An evenly distribution of catalytic centres was obtained on the MWCNTs surface. Catalytic properties of these materials were ass…
The Reduction Pathway of End-on Coordinated Dinitrogen. I. Vibrational Spectra of Mo/W−N2, −NNH, and −NNH2 Complexes and Quantum Chemistry Assisted N…
1999
Infrared and Raman spectra of [M(N(2))(2)(dppe)(2)] (M = W, Mo) and the two protonated derivatives [WF(NNH)(dppe)(2)] and [WF(NNH(2))(dppe)(2)](+) (dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) are presented. Using isotope substituted compounds ((15)N and D) the vibrations of the Y-M-N(2)H(x)() (x = 0, 1, 2; Y = N(2), F) central unit are identified, in particular the M-N and N-N stretching modes. In case of the monoprotonated systems, an equilibrium between metal- and nitrogen-protonated species exists that is clearly detectable in the IR spectra. Making use of theoretical force fields, a quantum chemistry assisted normal coordinate analysis (QCA-NCA) is performed for all three tungsten systems …
ChemInform Abstract: Weak Interactions Between Trivalent Pnictogen Centers: Computational Analysis of Bonding in Dimers X3E···EX3(E: Pnictogen, X: Ha…
2009
The nature of weak interactions in dimers X3E···EX3 (E = N−Bi, X = F−I) was investigated by wave function and density functional theory (DFT)-based methods. Out of the 20 systems studied, 10 are found to be bound at the CP-MP2 and LMP2 levels of theory. Detailed partition of the interaction energy into different components revealed that dispersion is the primary force holding the dimers together but there also exists an important ionic component whose contribution increases with increasing halogen size. As expected, standard density functionals fail to describe bonding in the studied systems. However, the performance of DFT methods can be easily improved via empirical dispersion correction …
A MRCI PS and CASSCF study of the ground state MgO dissociation energy
1991
Abstract Ab initio calculations at CASSCF and MRCI PS levels are used to determine the dissociation energy for the X 1 Σ + state of MgO, which adiabatically dissociates to the ground state 1 S g of magnesium and to the excited 1 D g state of oxygen, as well as other spectroscopic parameters. Emphasis is placed upon the problem of properly selecting an adequate active space in CASSCF calculations and upon the improvements obtained in MRCI by selecting perturbatively the most important contributions to the total wavefunction and evaluating the remaining ones only by perturbational method. Through a procedure based on stabilizing the computed dissociation energy, values of 3.87 eV (MRCI PS) an…
GIAO/DFT calculated chemical shifts of tautomeric species. 2-Phenacylpyridines and (Z)-2-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylvinyl)pyridines
2001
1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shifts for 28 substituted 2-phenacylpyridines (ketimine forms) and their enolimine tautomers, (Z)-2-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylvinyl)pyridines, were calculated via the GIAO/DFT approach. Among four tested methods at the B3LYP level of theory, the 6–311G, 6–311++G and 6–311G** basis sets gave acceptable result for 13C NMR chemical shifts whereas the 6–311++G** basis set was the minimum needed for reproduction of 15N NMR chemical shifts. Satisfactory reproduction of 13C and 15N NMR chemical shifts for different tautomers revealed that intramolecular hydrogen bonding could be modeled reliably by these calculations when the geometry optimizations were done with the HF/3–21G…
Full configuration interaction calculation of BeH adiabatic states.
2008
An all-electron full configuration interaction (FCI) calculation of the adiabatic potential energy curves of some of the lower states of BeH molecule is presented. A moderately large ANO basis set of atomic natural orbitals (ANO) augmented with Rydberg functions has been used in order to describe the valence and Rydberg states and their interactions. The Rydberg set of ANOs has been placed on the Be at all bond distances. So, the basis set can be described as 4s3p2d1f3s2p1d(BeH)+4s4p2d(Be). The dipole moments of several states and transition dipole strengths from the ground state are also reported as a function of the R(Be-H) distance. The position and the number of states involved in sever…
Chemie an starren Grenzflächen, 12. Reduktionsstudien von an Aerosil kovalent Grenzflächen-gebundenen Azo- und Disulfid-Gruppen
1988
Aerosile mit kovalent verknupften, endstandigen Azo- und Disulfid-Gruppen wurden mit dem Ziele hergestellt, Information uber eine Elektronenubergangs-Abstands-Beziehung bei Elektroreduktionen (und bei anderen Reduktionsvorgangen) zu erhalten. Die Grenzflachen-modifizierten Aerosile A–H, J und N wurden hergestellt. Die modifizierten Aerosile A–H und J mit einer ausreichend hohen Belegungsdichte wurden polarographisch untersucht und die erhaltenen Werte mit den Halbstufenpotentialen der homogen gelosten Analogverbindungen verglichen (Tab. 3). Mit einigem Vorbehalt sprechen die Ergebnisse dafur, das Elektronen Abstande von 10–15 A uberwinden konnen. Chemistry on Rigid Interfaces, 12. — Reducti…
Interplay between spin crossover and proton migration along short strong hydrogen bonds
2021
The iron(ii) salt [Fe(bpp)2](isonicNO)2·HisonicNO·5H2O (1) (bpp = 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine; isonicNO = isonicotinate N-oxide anion) undergoes a partial spin crossover (SCO) with symmetry breaking at T1 = 167 K to a mixed-spin phase (50% high-spin (HS), 50% low-spin (LS)) that is metastable below T2 = 116 K. Annealing the compound at lower temperatures results in a 100% LS phase that differs from the initial HS phase in the formation of a hydrogen bond (HB) between two water molecules (O4W and O5W) of crystallisation. Neutron crystallography experiments have also evidenced a proton displacement inside a short strong hydrogen bond (SSHB) between two isonicNO anions. Both phenomena can al…
