A major update of theSHADEserver (http://shade.ki.ku.dk) is presented. In addition to all of the previous options for estimating H-atom anisotropic displacement parameters (ADPs) that were offered bySHADE2, the newest version offers two new methods. The first method combines the original translation–libration–screw analysis with input from periodicab initiocalculations. The second method allows the user to input experimental information from spectroscopic measurements or from neutron diffraction experiments on related structures and utilize this information to evaluate ADPs of H atoms. Tools are provided to set up theab initiocalculations and to derive the internal motion from the calculations. The new server was tested on a range of compounds where neutron diffraction data were available. In most cases, the results are significantly better than previous estimates, and for strong hydrogen bonds in proton sponges, theab initiocalculations become crucial.

Abstract An ab initio SCF calculation of better than double zeta qualitv (192 basic functions) acted as a starting point for a configuration interaction (CI) study. The final CI with 3408 configurations showed that the 3d orbital density was reduced further than the initial value of 0.1 e; the SCF configuration was dominant, but an element of in -out correlation occurred, with incorporation of the orbital 1a2 in replacement for 1b1 being notable in many configurations.

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations using the restricted Hartree-Fock approach have been carried out for nitrosyl cyanide and related species on the ONCN potential surface. Full geometry optimizations have been performed with the minimal STO-3G and split-valence 4-31G basis sets. Calculated (4-31G) geometries are in good agreement with available experimental data as are the energy changes in the reactions ONCN → NO + CN and NO + CN → N2 + CO. Possible mechanisms are discussed.

ABSTRACTAb initio x-ray-absorption fine structure (XAFS) and x-ray-absorption near edge structure (XANES) standards are developed for molecules and solids. These standard XAFS spectra are obtained from ab initio XAFS calculations, using an automated code, FEFF, which we have extended to include multiple-scattering (MS) and XANES calculations. Our treatment is based on state-of-the-art curved-wave MS theory. Sample results are presented and compared with experiment. We find that these theoretical standards are comparable with experimental measurements, yielding distance determinations better than 0.02 Å and coordination numbers better than 20%. Our approach also gives a new MS interpretation of the σ* shape-resonances in XANES.
