For a fixed bond length and spin multiplet (e.g., triplet spin state at 200 pm bond length), the SZ=S and SZ=0 molecules are almost energy degenerate (except for a tiny spin-orbit coupling energy), have nearly identical electron density distributions, and therefore should have similar computed bond orders.

May 9, 2023 · For example, consider the case where you are scanning the bond lengths of C-Cl and C-H in chloromethane. The code will first increment the bond length of C-Cl, and will then scan the C-H bond while keeping C-Cl bond constant. This will result in a 2D scan, with one axis corresponding to C-Cl bond and other corresponding to C-H bond.

Jul 26, 2020 · $\begingroup$ You can get some estimates on bond strengths (in simple cases), which might be useful for ordering bond orders/strengths (the "classical" literature on metal-carbonyl complexes has used that extensively). This does not, however, assign a bond length, but might be used to estimate it from other known compounds based on the bond ...

Feb 20, 2025 · Can I estimate the bond energy by running a single Gaussian calculation of the fragments at very long separation (say, 40 angstroms)? Or do I have to calculate each fragment without the other? quantum-chemistry

Dec 30, 2022 · Bond length is calculated by using atomic positions and lattice parameters. Ionic or covalent size do not matter, the distance will be always the same because it is between the centers of the atoms, not between their surfaces. To determine the coordination number, you must look at your structure and play with it.

The sigma, pi and double pi bonds contribute increasingly to the overall bond order (max individual bond order is 1) as the atoms get closer together. For simplicity I am leaving out the corrections made to the overall bond order necessitated by overcoordination. The bond stretching potential takes the form of a modified Morse potential

Jan 20, 2023 · $\begingroup$ Yes, all of these programs use some semiempirical rules to determine whether there is a bond between the atoms or not. Jmol and Chimera link all atoms; Vesta, Ovito and VMD appear to link none. It's all a matter of how you define a bond - which is a highly nontrivial question in general. $\endgroup$ –

Jun 22, 2022 · The bond angles, bond lengths, and atomization energies are usually parameters of the PES model, so fitted values for them (along with their uncertainties) are obtained quite directly (for this reason, the procedure is often called a Direct Potential Fit or DPF).

Apr 23, 2023 · As a very simple example, two mobile particles connected by a harmonic bond will conserve both energy and momentum; a mobile particle tethered harmonically to a fixed point will conserve energy but not momentum. Both results are examples of Noether's Theorem, a deep and general result stating that system symmetries result in conserved quantities.
