Ionization Potential, Electron Affinity, Electronegativity, Hardness, and Electron Excitation Energy: Molecular Properties from Density Functional Theory Orbital Energies
Representative atomic and molecular systems, including various inorganic and organic molecules with covalent and ionic bonds, have been studied by using density functional theory. The calculations were done with the commonly used exchange-correlation functional B3LYP followed by a comprehensive analysis of the calculated highest-occupied and lowest-unoccupied Kohn-Sham orbital (HOMO and LUMO) e...
متن کاملOn Hardness and Electronegativity Equalization in Chemical Reactivity Theory
Chemical Reactivity Theory (CRT) contains reactivity indices defined as first and second derivatives of ground-state properties with respect to electron number such as the electronegativity and the hardness. This necessitates use of the Perdew, Parr, Levy, and Balduz (PPLB) version of noninteger density-functional theory (NIDFT) to provide a basis for CRT in DFT. However, the PPLB NIDFT yields ...
متن کاملAbsolute electronegativity and hardness correlated with molecular orbital theory.
The concepts of absolute electronegativity, chi, and absolute hardness, eta, are incorporated into molecular orbital theory. A graphic and concise definition of hardness is given as twice the energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. Useful correlations can now be made between chemical behavior, visible-UV absorption spectra, optical ...
متن کاملExcitation energies from density functional perturbation theory
We consider two perturbative schemes to calculate excitation energies, each employing the Kohn– Sham Hamiltonian as the unperturbed system. Using accurate exchange-correlation potentials generated from essentially exact densities and their exchange components determined by a recently proposed method, we evaluate energy differences between the ground state and excited states in first-order pertu...
متن کاملEnergies of Organic Molecules and Atoms in Density Functional Theory
In the assessment of density functional approximations for the exchangecorrelation energy, great weight is usually given to the accuracy of molecular atomization energies, or the enthalpies of formation constructed from calculated atomization energies. Here we show that a recent non-empirical functional, the meta-generalized gradient approximation of Tao, Perdew, Staroverov, and Scuseria, achie...
