3 Semi-Empirical MO Methods the high cost of ab initio MO calculations is largely due to the many integrals that need to be calculated (esp. two electron integrals) semi-empirical MO methods start with the general form of ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations, but make numerous approximations for the various integrals many of the integrals are approximated by functions with empirical parameters these parameters are adjusted to improve the agreement with experiment

4 Semi-Empirical MO Methods core orbitals are not treated by semiempirical methods, since they do not change much during chemical reactions only a minimal set of valence orbitals are considered on each atom (e.g. 2s, 2p x, 2p y, 2p z on carbon) Extended Hückel, Zero Differential Overlap and Neglect of Diatomic Differential Overlap

5 Extended Hückel Theory (Roald Hoffman, 1960 s; implemented in YAeHOMP) H C i = S C i E i! H Hamiltonian Matrix! C i column vector of molecular orbital coefficients! E i orbital energies! S overlap matrix! H ii use valence shell ionization potentials! H ij = K S ij (H ii + H jj )/2 with K = 1.75

6 Extended Hückel Theory (EHT) All core e - are ignored (all modern semiempirical methods use this approximation) Only valence orbitals are considered, represented as STOs (hydrogenic orbitals). Correct radial dependence. Overlap integrals between two STOs as a functions of r are readily computed. (HT assumed that the overlap elements S ij = d ij ). The overlap between STOs on the same atom is zero. Resonance Integrals: For diagonal elements: H µµ = negative of ionization potential (in the appropriate orbital). Valence shell ionization potentials (VSIPs) have been tabulated, but can be treated as an adjustable parameter. For off-diagonal elements: H µn is approximated as (C is an empirical constant, usually 1.75): 1 H = + 2 ( H µµ H nn ) µn µu C µn S RESULT: the secular equation can now be solved to determine MO energies and wave functions. ** Matrix elements do NOT depend on the final MOs (unlike HF) the process is NOT iterative. Therefore, the solution is very fast, even for large molecules.
