Accurate double many-body expansion potential energy surface for ground-state HS2 based on ab initio data
1Departamento de Química, Universidade de Coimbra, 3004-535 Coimbra, Portugal.
Abstract:
A double many-body expansion potential energy surface is reported for the electronic ground state of HS(2) by fitting accurate multireference configuration interaction energies calculated with aug-cc-pVTdZ and aug-cc-pVQdZ basis sets upon separate extrapolation of the complete-active-space self-consistent field and dynamical correlation components of the total energy to the complete basis set limit. The major topographical features of the potential energy surface are examined in detail, and the model function is used for thermalized calculations of the rate constants for the S + SH → H + S(2) reaction at 298 and 400 K. A value of (1.44 ± 0.06) × 10(-11) cm(3) s(-1) is obtained at 298 K, providing perhaps the most reliable estimate of the rate constant known thus far for such a reaction.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
