Bonding in Mercury-Alkali Molecules: Orbital-driven van der Waals Complexes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The bonding situation in mercury-alkali diatomics HgA ((2)Sigma(+)) (A = Li, Na, K, Rb) has been investigated employing the relativistic all-electron method Normalized Elimination of the Small Component (NESC), CCSD(T), and augmented VTZ basis sets. Although Hg,A interactions are typical of van der Waals complexes, trends in calculated D(e) values can be explained on the basis of a 3-electron 2-orbital model utilizing calculated ionization potentials and the D(e) values of HgA(+)((1)Sigma(+)) diatomics. HgA molecules are identified as orbital-driven van der Waals complexes. The relevance of results for the understanding of the properties of liquid alkali metal amalgams is discussed.

متن کاملDetermination of the Second Virial Coefficient for Binary Mixtures of Ar with CH4 and CO using Van der Waals and Dieterici Models
In this paper, we calculate the second virial coefficient for binary mixtures of Ar with CH4 and CO in order to evaluate the performance of equations of state (EOSs). The investigated EOSs are van der Waals (vdW), Redlich-Kwong (RK), Peng-Robinson (PR), Carnahan-Starling–van der Waals (CS-vdW) and Guggenheim-van der Waals (G-vdW) based on van der Waals model. In our work, we also use Dieterici ...
متن کاملBreaking van der Waals molecules with magnetic fields
Manipulating dynamics of molecules with external fields has long been a sought-after goal of experimental and theoretical research. Several groups have studied elastic and inelastic collisions of ultracold alkali atoms in the presence of Feshbach scattering resonances [1–6]. It was found that the probabilities of elastic collisions and inelastic energy transfer undergo dramatic changes near Fes...
متن کاملScaling Relations for Acidity and Reactivity of Zeolites
Zeolites are widely applied as solid acid catalysts in various technological processes. In this work we have computationally investigated how catalytic reactivity scales with acidity for a range of zeolites with different topologies and chemical compositions. We found that straightforward correlations are limited to zeolites with the same topology. The adsorption energies of bases such as carbo...

Singly-charged complexes of (8S,9R)-tert-butylcarbamoylquinine (tBuCQN), N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-(S,R)-leucine (DNB-S/R-leucine), and alkali metal counter ions (Li(+), Na(+), K(+)) were investigated by density-functional theory. It is shown that the cations prefer formation of an ionic pair with the carboxylate group of DNB-Leu over the formation of a cation-π interaction. The [tBuCQN·DNB-S/R-Leu·...
