چکیده
Accurate electron densities and X-ray form factors of Li, Be, F and their ions have been calculated. Electron correlation, crystal fields and ionic charge transfer change the form factors by up to a few percent, mainly in the range of sin 0 /k < | Ä " 1 . Although electron correlation and crystal fields are small perturbations, their effects on the density and form factor are not additive. Densities or form factors of atomic and ionic systems are very similar; [Li°F°] and [Li + F~] procrystals differ by an effective charge transfer of not more than 0.4 e. Charge transfer and charge overlap in crystals cannot be distinguished uniquely. When the experimental data on Li2BeF4 (approximately reproduced by 3/4 atomic plus 1/4 ionic procrystal) are interpreted from the atomic viewpoint, the atomic partial charges are as low as 0.1 e (Li2 0 1 B e + 0 , 2 F4 *); when interpreted from the ionic viewpoint, the charges are much higher, namely 0.7 e. Intermediate viewpoints are also possible.

Theoretical Study of the Correlation between 14N NQCC and Its Partial Atomic Charge in Amino Derivatives of Adamantane
The electronic structures and the electrostatic potential of some amino derivatives of adamantane have been studied using the density functional theory. The partial atomic charges and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (NQCC) of 14N nucleus of the considered molecules have been reported. The partial atomic charges are calculated with two methods for 14N nucleus: Mulliken charges and natural ...
متن کاملOn contribution of known atomic partial charges of protein backbone in electrostatic potential density maps.
Partial charges of atoms in a molecule and electrostatic potential (ESP) density for that molecule are known to bear a strong correlation. In order to generate a set of point-field force field parameters for molecular dynamics, Kollman and coworkers have extracted atomic partial charges for each of all 20 amino acids using restrained partial charge-fitting procedures from theoretical ESP densit...
متن کاملPolarized Protein-Specific Charges from Atoms-in-Molecule Electron Density Partitioning
Atomic partial charges for use in traditional force fields for biomolecular simulation are often fit to the electrostatic potentials of small molecules and, hence, neglect large-scale electronic polarization. On the other hand, recent advances in atoms-in-molecule charge derivation schemes show promise for use in flexible force fields but are limited in size by the underlying quantum mechanical...
متن کاملAccurate Partial Atomic Charges for High-Energy Molecules Using Class IV Charge Models with the MIDI! Basis Set
We have recently developed a new class IV charge model for calculating partial atomic charges in molecules. The new model, called Charge Model 3 (CM3), was parameterized for calculations on molecules containing H, Li, C, N, O, F, Si, S, P, Cl, and Br by Hartree-Fock theory and by hybrid density functional theory (HDFT) based on the modified Perdew-Wang density functional with several basis sets...
متن کاملA point-charge model for electrostatic potentials based on a local projection of multipole moments
We introduce a method for obtaining atomic point-charges that yield accurate representations of the electrostatic potentials (ESP) of large systems. The method relies on a decomposition of the density and subsequent projection of the multipole moments of the density components onto neighbouring atomic sites. The resulting local multipole-derived charges (LMDCs) are well-defined, do not require ...
