Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I03:24

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

69.3K
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Valence Bond Theory and Hybridized Orbitals

33.0K
According to valence bond theory, a covalent bond results when: (1) an orbital on one atom overlaps an orbital on a second atom, and (2) the single electrons in each orbital combine to form an electron pair. The strength of a covalent bond depends on the extent of overlap of the orbitals involved. Maximum overlap is possible when the orbitals overlap on a direct line between the two nuclei.
A σ bond (single bond in a Lewis structure) is a covalent bond in which the electron density is...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes

49.7K
Tetrahedral 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,...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a powerful quantum mechanical modeling method.
  • Range-separated functionals offer improved accuracy by treating short- and long-range electron interactions differently.
  • Accurate prediction of thermochemistry, especially for transition metals, is crucial for materials design and catalysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate novel range-separated density functionals using the Yukawa potential and Slater-type functions.
  • To assess the performance of these functionals in predicting transition metal thermochemistry.
  • To compare the new functionals against established methods like GGA, hybrid, and meta-hybrid functionals.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of range-separated density functionals incorporating the Yukawa potential.
  • Utilized Slater-type functions for evaluating exact exchange integrals, deriving new one- and two-center integrals.
  • Applied the developed functionals to a database of average ligand removal energies for transition metals.

Main Results:

  • The implemented range-separated functionals demonstrated improved performance over the GGA parent functional.
  • Accuracy was comparable to commonly used hybrid and meta-hybrid density functionals for transition metal thermochemistry.
  • Results showed minimal sensitivity to the chosen attenuation parameter, indicating robustness.

Conclusions:

  • The developed range-separated density functionals with Yukawa potential and Slater-type functions are a viable approach for electronic structure calculations.
  • These functionals offer a promising alternative for accurate thermochemical predictions of transition metal compounds.
  • Further studies can explore variations in the attenuation parameter and applications to a broader range of chemical systems.
