3 Review: magnetic perturbations In atomic units, the molecular Hamiltonian is given by H = H 0 + A i (r i ) p i + B i (r i ) s i i i i }{{}}{{} orbital paramagnetic spin paramagnetic There are two kinds of magnetic perturbation operators: φ i (r i ) + 1 A 2 i 2 (r i ) i }{{} diamagnetic the paramagnetic operator is linear and may lower or raise the energy the diamagnetic operator is quadratic and always raises the energy There are two kinds of paramagnetic operators: the orbital paramagnetic operator couples the field to the electron s orbital motion the spin paramagnetic operator couples the field to the electron s spin In the study of magnetic properties, we are interested in two types of perturbations: uniform external magnetic field B, with vector potential A ext(r) = 1 2 B r leads to Zeeman interactions nuclear magnetic moments M K, with vector potential A nuc(r) = α 2 K M K r K r 3 K leads to hyperfine interactions where α 1/137 is the fine-structure constant Trygve Helgaker (CTCC, University of Oslo) Magnetic resonance parameters LCT, UPMC, November / 36

4 Zeeman interactions The scalar and vector potentials of the uniform (static) fields E and B are given by: E = φ A } { = const φ(r) = E r t B = A = const A(r) = 1 2 B r Electrostatic interaction: φ(r i ) = E r i = E d e, i i d e = i Orbital paramagnetic interaction with the magnetostatic field: A p i = 1 B r 2 i p i = 1 2 B L, L = r i p i i i i r i electric dipole operator Spin paramagnetic interaction with the magnetostatic field: B s i = B S, S = s i spin ang. mom. op. i i Total paramagnetic interaction with a uniform magnetic field: orbital ang. mom. op.

5 Hyperfine interactions The nuclear magnetic moments set up a magnetic vector potential ( 10 8 a.u.): A(r) = α 2 K M K r K rk 3, α 2 = c a.u., M K = γ K I K 10 4 a.u. This vector potential gives rise to the following paramagnetic hyperfine interaction A p = K M T K hpso K, h PSO K = α 2 r K p rk 3 = α 2 L K rk 3 paramagnetic SO (PSO) magnetic moment interacts with the electron s orbital motion about the nucleus Taking the curl of this vector potential, we obtain: B(r) = A(r) = 8πα2 3 δ(r K )M K + α 2 K K 3r K (r K M K ) r 2 K M K r 5 K the first contact term contributes only when the electron is at the nucleus the second term is a contact interaction and contributes only at the nucleus the second term is a classical dipole field and contributes at a distance This magnetic field B(r) then gives rise to two distinct first-order triplet operators: B s = K M T K (hfc K + hsd K ), h FC K h SD = 8πα2 3 δ(r K ) s Fermi contact (FC) K = α2 3r K rk T r K 2 I 3 r K 5 s spin dipole (SD) Trygve Helgaker (CTCC, University of Oslo) Magnetic resonance parameters LCT, UPMC, November / 36

22 Direct and indirect nuclear spin spin couplings The last term in the expansion of the molecular electronic energy in B and M K E (B, M) = E BT E (20) B K BT E (11) K M K KL MT K E(02) KL M L + describes the coupling of the nuclear magnetic moments in the presence of electrons There are two distinct contributions to the coupling: the direct and indirect contributions E (02) KL = D KL + K KL The direct coupling occurs by a classical dipole mechanism: D KL = α 2 R 5 ( KL R 2 KL I 3 3R KL R T ) KL a.u. it is anisotropic and vanishes in isotropic media such as gases and liquids The indirect coupling arises from hyperfine interactions with the surrounding electrons: it is exceedingly small: K KL a.u. 1 Hz it does not vanish in isotropic media it gives the fine structure of high-resolution NMR spectra Experimentalists usually work in terms of the (nonreduced) spin spin couplings J KL = h γ K 2π γ L 2π K KL isotope dependent Trygve Helgaker (CTCC, University of Oslo) Magnetic resonance parameters LCT, UPMC, November / 36

25 Calculation of indirect nuclear spin spin coupling constants The calculation of spin spin coupling constants is a challenging task Spin spin coupling constants depend on many coupling mechanisms: 3 singlet response equations and 7 triplet equations for each nucleus for shieldings, only 3 equations are required, for molecules of all sizes Spin spin coupling constants require a proper description of static correlation the Hartree Fock model fails abysmally MCSCF theory treats static correlation propertly but is expensive Spin spin couplings are sensitive to the basis set the FC contribution requires an accurate electron density at the nuclei steep s functions must be included in the basis Spin spin couplings are sensitive to the molecular geometry equilibrium structures must be chosen carefully large vibrational corrections (often 5% 10%) For heavy elements, a relativistic treatment may be necessary. However, there is no need for London orbitals since no external magnetic field is involved. Trygve Helgaker (CTCC, University of Oslo) Magnetic resonance parameters LCT, UPMC, November / 36

26 Relative importance of the contributions to spin spin coupling constants The isotropic indirect spin spin coupling constants can be uniquely decomposed as: J KL = J DSO KL + J PSO KL + J FC KL + JSD KL The spin spin coupling constants are often dominated by the FC term Since the FC term is relatively easy to calculate, it is tempting to ignore the other terms. However, none of the contributions can be a priori neglected (N 2 and CO)! 200 PSO FC PSO FC FC FC FC FC SD FC FC PSO FC SD FC -100 SD H2 HF H2O O H NH3 N H CH4 C2H4 HCN C H C C N C N2 CO C2H2 C C Trygve Helgaker (CTCC, University of Oslo) Magnetic resonance parameters LCT, UPMC, November / 36

27 Restricted Hartree Fock theory and triplet instabilities The correct description of triplet excitations is important for spin spin coupling constants In restricted Hartree Fock (RHF) theory, triplet excitations are often poorly described upon H 2 dissociation, RHF does not describe the singlet ground state correctly but the lowest triplet state dissociates correctly, leading to triplet instabilities more generally, the lowest RHF triplet excitations are underestimated 1 D 2p g FCI 1 P 1s2p 3 P 1s2p 1 1 g 1Σ u 2 1 u 1Σg1Σu R ionic cov ion 3 u 1Σg1Σu covalent 2 1 g 1Σ g 2 1 S 1s 2 g FCI Near such instabilities, the RHF description of spin interactions becomes unphysical C 2H 4/Hz 1 J CC 1 J CH 2 J CH 2 J HH 3 J cis 3 J trans exp RHF CAS B3LYP Trygve Helgaker (CTCC, University of Oslo) Magnetic resonance parameters LCT, UPMC, November / 36
