11 In practice: Molecular orbital model the unknown spatial orbitals (MO) are described as a linear combination of a set of known basis functions ψ i = N μ = 1 c μiφ μ φμ one-electron basis function If the basis function contains the atomic orbitals MO=LCAO Next problem: How do we determine the unknown coefficients c μi? Variational principle= an approximate wavefunction has an energy which is above or equal to the exact energy, and the unknown coefficients are determined so that the total energy calculated from the many-electron wavefunction is minimized.

12 Basis sets 1 2 Slater-type orbitals φ φ e ξ r STO Gaussian-type orbitals e ξ r GTO 2 Closest to H atom solutions Less accurate than STO Fast integral calculation!! 3 SOLUTION: Linear combination of Gaussians L φ = μφ CGTO d p p= 1 contraction GTO p primitives L=length of contraction

13 Number of basis sets used Minimal basis set: using the minimum number of basis functions 1s 1s,1s 1s,1s,1s 1s,2s, 2p x,y,z 1s,2s, 2p x,y,z 1s, 2s, 2p x,y,z 1s,2s, 2p x,y,z 1s, 2s, 2p x,y,z 1s, 2s, 2p x,y,z DZ: doubling all basis functions TZ: contains 3 times as many basis functions as the minimal basis set

14 Any Extras.? Polarization functions: higher angular momentum functions*or(d,p) p orbitals are used for the polarization of s orbitals d orbitals are used for the polarization of p orbitals. H N C Diffuse functions: small exponents to describe weakly bound electrons+ Examples: anions, Hydrogen bonds

15 Type of basis sets Pople basis sets Split-valence: 3-21G, 6-31G, 6-311G,... C: 1s 2 2s 2 p 2 2s 2G 2s 1G (6s3p) [3s2p] 3G 2p 2G 2p 1G Dunning basis sets, ANO basis sets, Core correlated

16 Electronic correlation TWO APPROXIMATIONS: Our wavefunction consists on one single slater determinant Use of limited basis set in the orbital expansion MAIN DEFICIENCY: lack of correlation between motion of the electrons E corr = E exact -E HF-limit HF Improvement of correlation Full-CI SOLUTION: more than a single configuration!! Improvement basis set HF-limit Exact

19 Multiconfigurational methods When a single Lewis structure is not enough.. excited states diradicals often transition states Coefficients in front of the determinants are optimized MOs used for the construction of the determinants are also optimized CASSCF (Complete Active Space Self Consistent Field) Select electrons and orbitals involved in the chemical process CASSCF(n, m) n number of electrons m is the number of orbitals

20 CASSCF (Complete Active Space Self Consistent Field) CAS All excitations Dynamic correlation: Second Order Perturbation Theory CASPT2

21 Density functional Theory (DFT) In Hartree-Fock Ψ(x 1,x 2,..x N ) Exact Hamiltonian, but approx. wavefunction. ELECTRON DENSITY Important Saving: The wavefunction depends on 3N spatial coordinates + Spin The electron density depends just on 3 spatial variables Principles of DFT The ground state density of the system is enough to obtain the energy and other properties. Variational principle: for any trial density ρ the energy will represent an upper bond to the ground state energy E 0

22 Exact wavefunction, but unknown Hamiltonian!!! Looking for an approximate Exchange Correlation functional LDA F XC = f X + f Exchange Correlation C + VWN (Vosko, Wilk and Nusair) GGA B-P86 (Becke88 and Perdew86) Hybrid Functionals f XC =c HF f X HF+c GGA f XC GGA B3-LYP (Becke 3 parameter functional-lee Yang Paar) Excited States Time-Dependent Density Functional theory
