Intrinsic Distortion Path in the Analysis of the Jahn-Teller Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
The multideterminental-DFT approach was performed in order to calculate the Jahn-Teller (JT) parameters for the JT active molecules. Within the harmonic approximation the JT distortion can be analysed as a linear combination of all totally symmetric normal modes in any of the low symmetry minimum energy conformation, which allows to calculate the Intrinsic Distortion Path (IDP), exactly from the high symmetry point to the low symmetry configuration. Results obtained by both methods are consistent and give direct insight into the coupling of electronic structure and nuclear movements. As examples, the results for Cu3 cluster, cobaltocene and manganocene are reported.

The purpose of this research is to provide a deeper understanding of the planar high- symmetry configuration instability. In the ideal case, the distortion corresponds to the movements of nuclei along normal modes that belong to non-totally symmetric irreps of the high symmertry (HS) point group of molecule. The analysis of the structural distortion from the HS nuclear arrangements of the JT ac...

Density Functional Theory (DFT) in conjuction with the Intrinsic Distortion Path (IDP) is employed to study the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect in all four diastereoisomers of tris(ethylenediamine)copper(II) ([Cu(en)3] ) and tris(ethyleneglycol)copper(II) ([Cu(eg)3] ) complexes. As a consequence of the JT effect all the isomers tetragonally elongate to the C2 configurations. Although there are energy d...
متن کاملDensity functional theory for the study of the multimode Jahn-Teller effect.
The Jahn-Teller (JT) theorem states that in a molecule with a degenerate electronic state, a structural distortion must occur that lowers the symmetry, removes the degeneracy and lowers the energy. The multideterminental-DFT method performed to calculate the JT parameters for JT active molecules is described. Within the harmonic approximation the JT distortion can be analyzed as a linear combin...

A general model for the analysis of the Adiabatic Potential Energy Surfaces (APES) of the molecules that are subject to the multimode Jahn-Teller effect is presented. The method utilizes the information obtained by DFT calculations on a distorted stationary point on the APES. The essence of the model is to express the distortion along a model minimal energy path called Intrinsic Distortion Path...

The fullerene anion, C60 , within the Ih point group, is a spherical molecule subject to the T h Jahn–Teller (JT) distortion. The descent in symmetry goes to the three epikernel subgroups, namely D5d, D3d, and D2h. The last one completely removes the electronic degeneracy, whereas D5d and D3d structures are subject to further JT distortion, leading to C2h minimum energy structure. The multidete...
