Abstract:

The molecular structure of iridabenzene (C5 H5 Ir)(PH3 )3 was calculated by the B3LYP density functional model using LANL2DZ basis set for Ir and 6-31G(d) for other atoms. The results from natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis have provided new insights into Ir–ligand bonding, the hybridization of atoms and the electronic structure of the title molecule. The NBO calculations show that σ(Ir-C2) bonds are formed from an sd1.18 hybrid on iridium atom π(Ir–C3) bond is formed from an sd5.21. Also, these calculations determined that strongest electron donation occurs from a lone pair orbital on the phosphorous atoms, LP(1)P to the antibonding acceptor σ*(Ir–C) orbitals.

Bonding : A Natural Bond Orbital Donor - Acceptor Perspective

Exact answers to practically all chemical questions are, in principle, obtainable from solutions of this equation.3 Thus, Eq. (1.1) is the ultimate oracle of chemical knowledge. Equation (1.1) contains threemathematical entities: (i) theHamiltonian operator Ĥ , determined by the choice of chemical system; (ii) thewavefunctionΨ, describing the allowed spatial distribution of electrons and nuclei...

Natural bond orbital analysis in the ONETEP code: Applications to large protein systems

First principles electronic structure calculations are typically performed in terms of molecular orbitals (or bands), providing a straightforward theoretical avenue for approximations of increasing sophistication, but do not usually provide any qualitative chemical information about the system. We can derive such information via post-processing using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, which p...
