Abstract:
Fully relativistic four-component many-body perturbation and coupled cluster electronic structure calculations including electroweak neutral current corrections are presented for a study of parity-violating effects in chiral molecules. For the chiral molecules H2O2 and H2S2, it is demonstrated that electron correlation contributions to the parity-violating energy shifts are small but critically dependent on the molecular geometry.

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
