Valence, polar

Compounds of septivalent chlorine probably contain chlorine with a polar valence of +3 and with four shared electron bonds. Thus the perchlorate ion would be formed from Cl +3 and 4 0 and would have... [Pg.20]

Resonance theory [15] contains essentially three assumptions beyond those of the valence bond method. Perhaps the most serious assumption is the contention that only unexcited canonical forms, non-polar valence bond structures or classical structures need be considered. Less serious, but no more than intuitive, is the proposition that the molecular geometry will take on that expected for the average of the classical structures. This is extended to the measurement of stability being greater the greater the number of classical structures. These concepts are still widely used in chemistry in very qualitative ways. [Pg.445]

G(d,p), both intermediate and TS geometries become more reliable, at least as judged from a comparison with the corresponding geometries achieved using the augmented correlation-consistent polarized valence triple-zeta (aug-cc-pVTZ) basis sets.32... [Pg.39]

Dunning has developed a series of correlation-consistent polarized valence n-zeta basis sets (denoted cc-pVnZ ) in which polarization functions are systematically added to all atoms with each increase in n. (Corresponding diffuse sets are also added for each n if the prefix aug- is included.) These sets are optimized for use in correlated calculations and are chosen to insure a smooth and rapid (exponential-like) convergence pattern with increasing n. For example, the keyword label aug-cc-pVDZ denotes a valence double-zeta set with polarization and diffuse functions on all atoms (approximately equivalent to the 6-311++G set), whereas aug-cc-pVQZ is the corresponding quadruple-zeta basis which includes (3d2flg,2pld) polarization sets.

The quality of quantum-chemical calculations depends not only on the chosen n-electron model but also critically on the flexibility of the one-electron basis set in terms of which the MOs are expanded. Obviously, it is possible to choose basis sets in many different ways. For highly accurate, systematic studies of molecular systems, it becomes important to have a well-defined procedure for generating a sequence of basis sets of increasing flexibility. A popular hierarchy of basis functions are the correlation-consistent basis sets of Dunning and coworkers [15-17], We shall use two varieties of these sets the cc-pVXZ (correlation-consistent polarized-valence X-tuple-zeta) and cc-pCVXZ (correlation-consistent polarized core-valence X-tuple-zeta) basis sets see Table 1.1. [Pg.4]

In the present work, correlation consistent basis sets have been developed for the transition metal atoms Y and Hg using small-core quasirelativistic PPs, i.e., the ns and (nA)d valence electrons as well as the outer-core (nA)sp electrons are explicitly included in the calculations. This can greatly reduce the errors due to the PP approximation, and in particular the pseudo-orbitals in the valence region retain some nodal structure. Series of basis sets from double-through quintuple-zeta have been developed and are denoted as cc-pVwZ-PP (correlation consistent polarized valence with pseudopotentials). The methodology used in this work is described in Sec. II, while molecular benchmark calculations on YC, HgH, and Hg2 are given in Sec. III. Lastly, the results are summarized in Sec. IV. [Pg.127]

A complementary paper was reported soon after by Adam, Bach and coworkers where eight transition structures for the epoxidation of the chiral allylic alcohol (Z)-3-methyl-3-penten-2-ol with peroxyformic acid were computed by the B3LYP density functional method with 6-31G(d) and 6-31G(d,p) basis sets. The four lowest-energy transition structures and their respective prereaction clusters were fuUy re-optimized by employing 6-31H-G(d,p) and correlation-consistent polarized valence triple- cc-pZTV basis sets.

An alternative experiment that measures the same vibrational fundamentals subject to different selection rules is Raman spectroscopy. Raman intensities, however, are more difficult to compute than IR intensities, as a mixed third derivative is required to approximate the change in the molecular polarizability with respect to the vibration that is measured by the experiment. The sensitivity of Raman intensities to basis set and correlation is even larger than it is for IR intensities. However, Halls, Velkovski, and Schlegel (2001) have reported good results from use of the large polarized valence-triple-f basis set of Sadlej (1992) and... [Pg.341]

Examining the results given in these two tables, it is seen that, for this small molecule, very advanced calculations can be carried out. In the tables, all the methods employed have been introduced in the previous sections. For the basis sets, aug-cc-pVnZ stands for augmented correlation consistent polarized valence n zeta, with n = 2-5 referring to double, triple, quadruple, and quintuple, respectively. Clearly, these basis functions are specially designed for... [Pg.153]

The basis sets used in the reactions including F and Cl are the augmented correlation consistent polarized valence double zeta (aug-cc-pVDZ) sets [16]. In the reactions including Br and I, the relativistic effective core potential (ECP) due to Stevens et al. [17,18] and their associated basis sets were used for Br and I, and the cc-pVDZ set for H. The basis sets of Br and I were augmented by adding a d polarization function with an exponent of 0.389 (Br) / 0.266 (I) and sp diffuse functions with an exponent 0.03574 (Br) / 0.03007 (I). The diffuse p polarization function of the aug-cc-pVDZ set of H was omitted for consis-... [Pg.69]

Positive Polar Valence. This single electron in the outer layer has very little stability in its isolated position and is easily removed altogether from the atom, leaving the atom with a net positive charge of one unit. Thus the ease with which cesium changes to cesium ion Cs+ is accounted for. Similarly, the formation of barium ion Ba++ and lanthanum ion La+++ is accounted for. [Pg.359]

Negative Polar Valence. There still exists the usual electrostatic attraction between the electron and the kernel of the cesium atom. The kernel consists of the nucleus and all the electron layers except the outer layer, or valence layer. In fact, the electron would ordinarily be held in the outer layer unless some other atom were ready to take it up. Neutral atoms with nearly complete outer shells show a strong tendency to take on enough electrons to complete the shell. This tendency is strong enough to overcome the electrostatic repulsion of the other electrons and impart to the atom a net negative charge. Thus the chlorine atom Cln 2-8-7... [Pg.359]
