Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method01:24

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method

42
The alternative coordinate method, also known as the Shoelace Formula, is a technique for determining the area of a traverse using Cartesian coordinates. This method relies on the sequential arrangement of x and y coordinates for each point of the shape, ensuring accuracy and ease of application.In this approach, each corner's x and y coordinates are listed as fractions, with the x-coordinate as the numerator and the y-coordinate as the denominator. These coordinates are arranged sequentially...

Collisions in Multiple Dimensions: Problem Solving

3.5K
In multiple dimensions, the conservation of momentum applies in each direction independently. Hence, to solve collisions in multiple dimensions, we should write down the momentum conservation in each direction separately. To help understand collisions in multiple dimensions, consider an example.
A small car of mass 1,200 kg traveling east at 60 km/h collides at an intersection with a truck of mass 3,000 kg traveling due north at 40 km/h. The two vehicles are locked together. What is the...

Reduced Mass Coordinates: Isolated Two-body Problem

1.2K
In classical mechanics, the two-body problem is one of the fundamental problems describing the motion of two interacting bodies under gravity or any other central force. When considering the motion of two bodies, one of the most important concepts is the reduced mass coordinates, a quantity that allows the two-body problem to be solved like a single-body problem. In these circumstances, it is assumed that a single body with reduced mass revolves around another body fixed in a position with an...

Chair Conformation of Cyclohexane02:02

Chair Conformation of Cyclohexane

14.2K
The chair conformation is the most stable form of cyclohexane due to the absence of angle and torsional strain. The absence of angle strain is a result of cyclohexane’s bond angle being very close to the ideal tetrahedral bond angle of 109.5° in its chair conformer. Similarly, the torsional strain is also absent owing to the perfectly staggered arrangement of bonds.
The hydrogen atoms linked to carbons are arranged in two different axial and equatorial orientations to achieve this...

Conformations of Cyclohexane

12.0K
Cyclohexane does not exist in a planar form due to the high angle and torsional strain it would experience in the planar structure. Instead, it adopts non-planar chair and boat conformations.
The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal...

Van der Waals Interactions01:24

Van der Waals Interactions

63.1K
Atoms and molecules interact with each other through intermolecular forces. These electrostatic forces arise from attractive or repulsive interactions between particles with permanent, partial, or temporary charges. The intermolecular forces between neutral atoms and molecules are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, and dispersion forces, collectively known as van der Waals forces.

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Theoretical chemistry
  • Photochemistry

Background:

  • Conical intersections are key to internal energy conversion in photoinduced chemical and biological processes.
  • Conventional methods like TDDFT and DFT-TDA often fail to accurately describe the dimensionality of conical intersections, leading to unphysical results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate the configuration-interaction-corrected Tamm-Dancoff approximation (CIC-TDA) for accurately describing conical intersections.
  • To restore the correct dimensionality of conical intersections by incorporating coupling between reference and excited states.

Main Methods:

  • The study employs the configuration-interaction-corrected Tamm-Dancoff approximation (CIC-TDA).
  • The CIC-TDA method was applied to conical intersections in molecules such as ammonia, ethylene, bithiophene, azobenzene, and protonated Schiff base (PSB11).

Main Results:

  • The CIC-TDA method successfully restores the correct dimensionality of conical intersections.
  • Potential energy surfaces generated by CIC-TDA show accuracy comparable to established multireference wave function methods.
  • The approach is validated across a range of molecular systems.

Conclusions:

  • The CIC-TDA method provides a "black-box" solution for accurate conical intersection modeling.
  • This validated method facilitates cost-efficient investigations of photoinduced nonadiabatic dynamics, particularly for large and complex molecular systems.
