Abstract:
The N2+ molecule is studied at different interatomic distances as a model molecule for the double exchange mechanism. The energy spectrum as well as the wave functions of the lowest states are analyzed and confronted both with the usual model of double exchange and with a recently proposed refined model. It is shown that the usual model fails to reproduce the energy spacings while the refined model is valid on a large domain of interatomic distances (in the magnetic regime). The study of a model molecule on a large domain of interatomic distances makes it possible to systematically investigate several regimes associated with different energetic state orderings. The perfect agreement between the refined model and the computed energies in the whole domain of stretched distances shows its applicability to a large number of real compounds. Finally, the respective contributions of dynamical and nondynamical correlations are analyzed.

IR Frequency Region: Alkyne and Nitrile Stretching
Comparing the stretching vibrational frequency of C≡C triple bonds with that of double and single bonds, it is evident that C≡C triple bonds exhibit a higher stretching frequency than C=C double and C–C single bonds. Similarly, the C≡N triple bond exhibits higher stretching absorption than the C=N...

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
