The behavior of electrons in general many-electronic systems throughout the density functionals of energy is reviewed. The basic physico-chemical concepts of density functional theory are employed to highlight the energy role in chemical structure while its extended influence in electronic localization function helps in chemical bonding understanding. In this context the energy functionals acco...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The alternative quantum mechanical description of total energy given by Bohmian theory was merged with the concept of the golden ratio and its appearance as the Heisenberg imbalance to provide a new density-based description of the valence atomic state and reactivity charge with the aim of clarifying their features with respect to the so-called DFT ground state and crit...

Physical realism of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is greatly enhanced by incorporating variable atomic charges which adapt to the local environment dynamically. In the electrostatic plus (ES+) model, atomic charges are determined to equalize electronegativity. However, this model involves costly minimization of the electrostatic energy at each MD step. A preconditioned conjugate-gradient ...

A new polarizable force field (PFF), namely atom-condensed Kohn-Sham density functional theory approximated to second order (ACKS2), is proposed for the efficient computation of atomic charges and linear response properties of extended molecular systems. It is derived from Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT), making use of two novel ingredients in the context of PFFs: (i) constrained a...

Inspired by the distinguished regulated photochemical and photophysical properties of 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzazole derivatives, in this work, novel bis(2′-benzothiazolyl)hydroquinone (BBTHQ) fluorophore is explored, looking at its photo-induced behaviors associated with different substituted atomic electronegativities, i.e., BBTHQ-SO, BBTHQ-SS BBTHQ-Se compounds. From structural changes, infra...

We explore the relationship between grand canonical (GC) ensemble and charge equilibration (CE), also known as electronegativity equalization, theories for describing charge flow in molecules. We introduce a new unifying approach to classical charge transfer theories based on valence bond (VB) theory and the maximum entropy (ME) method, which we call MEVB. We show how MEVB reduces to GC and CE ...

Two new approaches are presented for the calculation of atom and bond parameters for heteroatom-containing molecules used in computing graph theoretic invariants. In the first approach, the atom and bond weights are computed on the basis of relative atomic electronegativity, using carbon as standard. In the second system, the relative covalent radii are used to compute atom and bond weights, ag...

Resonant high-energy X-ray diffraction coupled to atomic pair distribution function analysis and computer simulations is used to study the atomic-scale structure of group 11 nanosized metals and binary alloy catalysts. We find that nanosized Cu is quite disordered structurally whereas nanosized Ag and especially Au exhibit a very good degree of crystallinity. We resolve Cu−Cu and Ag−Ag atomic c...
