Vibrational analysis for the nuclear–electronic orbital method

The methodology for a vibrational analysis within the nuclear–electronic orbital ~NEO! framework is presented. In the NEO approach, specified nuclei are treated quantum mechanically on the same level as the electrons, and mixed nuclear–electronic wave functions are calculated variationally with molecular orbital methods. Both electronic and nuclear molecular orbitals are expressed as linear com...

Non-Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics.

Electronically nonadiabatic or non-Born-Oppenheimer (non-BO) chemical processes (photodissociation, charge-transfer, etc.) involve a nonradiative change in the electronic state of the system. Molecular dynamics simulations typically treat nuclei as moving classically on a single adiabatic potential energy surface, and these techniques are not immediately generalizable to non-BO systems due to t...

Molecular Orbital Theory of Pentacoordinate Phosphorus

The electronic structure of some idealized PH5 geometries of D3h, C4v, and C, symmetries is analyzed. Each geometry is characterized by a low-lying nodeless orbital, three singly noded orbitals close in energy, and a high-lying doubly noded nonbonding orbital. The latter orbital is the only one significantly stabilized by the inclusion of 3d orbitals in the P basis set and also determines the r...
