Molecular and Ionic Solids

16.5K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Determination of Crystal Structures

138
In the late 1800s, the revelation that light extended beyond visible wavelengths led to the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen. Recognized as high-energy electromagnetic radiation with short wavelengths, X-rays prompted exploration into their interaction with crystals. Max von Laue proposed in 1912 that the periodic arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in crystals would cause them to diffract X-rays, a hypothesis confirmed through experiments with copper sulfate and zinc sulfide...

Structures of Solids

18.0K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Intermolecular Forces

63.1K
Atoms and molecules interact through bonds (or forces): intramolecular and intermolecular. The forces are electrostatic as they arise from interactions (attractive or repulsive) between charged species (permanent, partial, or temporary charges) and exist with varying strengths between ions, polar, nonpolar, and neutral molecules. The different types of intermolecular forces are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion; among these, dipole–dipole, hydrogen...

Intermolecular vs Intramolecular Forces03:00

Intermolecular vs Intramolecular Forces

91.6K
Intermolecular forces (IMF) are electrostatic attractions arising from charge-charge interactions between molecules. The strength of the intermolecular force is influenced by the distance of separation between molecules. The forces significantly affect the interactions in solids and liquids, where the molecules are close together. In gases, IMFs become important only under high-pressure conditions (due to the proximity of gas molecules). Intermolecular forces dictate the physical properties of...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Quantum Chemistry

Background:

  • Adiabatic Connection Models (ACMs) are typically limited to finite systems.
  • Accurate calculation of lattice energies in molecular crystals is crucial for materials science.
  • Existing methods like Møller-Plesset adiabatic connection (MPAC) formalism need extension for periodic systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend Møller-Plesset adiabatic connection (MPAC) formalism-based ACMs to periodic molecular crystals.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of these extended ACMs for computing lattice energies.
  • To identify robust ACMs for modeling energetics in extended systems.

Main Methods:

  • Extension of ACMs derived from the MPAC formalism to periodic molecular crystals.
  • Computation of lattice energies for 19 representative molecular crystal systems.
  • Comparison of ACM results with periodic MP2, high-level reference data, and experimental values.

    • Main Results:

    • Tested ACMs demonstrate accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art dispersion-corrected hybrid density functionals.
    • The HFAC24 model, a post-Hartree-Fock parameter-free correlation expression, accurately predicts binding and total energies.
    • MPAC-based ACMs show accuracy close to correlated wave function methods for molecular crystal energetics.

    Conclusions:

    • MPAC-based ACMs offer an accurate and transferable framework for molecular crystal energetics.
    • These models represent a systematically improvable approach for developing correlation models for extended systems.
    • The HFAC24 model is identified as a highly accurate method for energetics in periodic systems.
