Chemical Bonding: The Orthogonal Valence-Bond View
Chemical bonding is the stabilization of a molecular system by charge- and spin-reorganization processes in chemical reactions. These processes are said to be local, because the number of atoms involved is very small. With multi-configurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) wave functions, these processes can be calculated, but the local information is hidden by the delocalized molecular orbita...
متن کاملQuadruple bonding in C2 and analogous eight-valence electron species.
Triple bonding is conventionally considered to be the limit for multiply bonded main group elements, despite higher metal-metal bond orders being frequently observed for transition metals and lanthanides/actinides. Here, using high-level theoretical methods, we show that C(2) and its isoelectronic molecules CN(+), BN and CB(-) (each having eight valence electrons) are bound by a quadruple bond....
متن کاملChemical bonding, elasticity, and valence force field models: A case study for a-Pt2Si and PtSi
We have carried out a detailed study of the chemical bonding for two room-temperature stable platinum silicide phases, tetragonal a-Pt2Si and orthorhombic PtSi. An analysis of the valence electronic charge density reveals surprising evidence of covalent three-center bonds in both silicide phases, as well as two-dimensional metallic sheets in a-Pt2Si. These elements of the bonding are further an...
متن کاملGeneralized Valence Bond Studies of Metallic Bonding: Naked Clusters and Applications to Bulk Metals
that the yield of matrix-trapped excess electrons in D 2 0 is larger than in H20 and concluded that D 2 0 is less efficient in the initial electron localization (to yield the solvated electron) than HzO. Our results do not, however, answer the question whether a solvated electron represents the ground state of a cluster anion comprised of as few as 12 water molecules. The reason for this differ...
متن کاملThe role of the 5f valence orbitals of early actinides in chemical bonding
One of the long standing debates in actinide chemistry is the level of localization and participation of the actinide 5f valence orbitals in covalent bonds across the actinide series. Here we illuminate the role of the 5f valence orbitals of uranium, neptunium and plutonium in chemical bonding using advanced spectroscopies: actinide M4,5 HR-XANES and 3d4f RIXS. Results reveal that the 5f orbita...
