New pseudopotentials for transition metals were developed. These improved Model Core Potentials accurately reproduced experimental structures and vibrational frequencies in transition metal complexes.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Solid State Physics

Background:

  • Accurate theoretical models are crucial for understanding chemical and physical properties of materials.
  • Pseudopotentials simplify electronic structure calculations by replacing core electrons with an effective potential.
  • Developing accurate pseudopotentials for transition metals is challenging due to their complex electronic structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop new nonrelativistic and scalar-relativistic pseudopotentials for second- and third-row transition metals.
  • To assess the performance of these improved Model Core Potentials (MCPs) in calculations of transition metal complexes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of new nonrelativistic and scalar-relativistic pseudopotentials.
