We review the pre-quantum theories of electronic structure of Lewis and Langmuir, and how this relates to the post-quantum double-quartet theory of Linnett. Linnett’s ideas are put on a firm theoretical footing through the emergence of the wavefunction tile: The 3N-dimensional repeating structure of the N-electron wavefunction. Wavefunction tiles calculated by the dynamic Voronoi Metropolis sampling method are reviewed, and new results are presented for bent bonds of cyclopropane, and electron correlation in Be-O-Be.

Analysis of electronic wavefunction generated by quantum chemistry codes has crucial role in exploring nature of electronic structure and providing valuable information of chemical interest. A file containing wavefunction information is inevitably needed as a communicator between wavefunction analysis codes and quantum chemistry programs. There have been many available formats designed for recording wavefunction, such as .fch, .molden, .wfn, .wfx and so on, however they all have different flaws and thus bringing evident inconvenience for development of new wavefunction analysis codes. To overcome this problem, in this article we define a new format "mwfn" (acronym of "Multiwfn wavefunction file") for electronic wavefunction storage and exchange purposes. This format is strict, concise, extensible, and able to provide all kinds of information for common wavefunction analyses. Since the "mwfn" format fully eliminates all shortcomings of existing formats, we expect it will become a standard for recording wavefunction in the field of wavefunction analysis and quantum chemistry.<br>

It is shown how the quantum Hamiltonian for a general molecule is set up, using the ‘quantum recipe’ of chapter 3. In the most restrictive Born Oppenheimer approximation, the nuclei are held fixed and the Schrodinger equation (SE) is set up for the electrons only. The wavefunction depends on the positions and spin projections of all electrons. The electron spin projection is introduced heuristically as another two-valued electron degree of freedom. The electronic SE cannot be solved exactly, and (spin-) orbitals are introduced to construct an approximate wavefunction. The Pauli principle demands that a many-electron wavefunction is antisymmetric upon the exchange of electron labels, which leads to the construction of the approximate orbital-model wavefunction as a Slater determinant rather than a simple Hartree product. The orbital model wavefunction does not describe the Coulomb electron correlation, but it incorporates the (Fermi) correlation leading to the Pauli exclusion.

AbstractUnusual phase transitions driven by electron correlation effects occur in many f-electron metals (lanthanides and actinides alike) from localized phases to itinerant phases at high pressures. The dramatic changes in atomic volumes and crystal structures associated with some of these transitions signify equally important changes in the underlying electronic structure of these correlated f-electron metals. Yet, the relationships among the crystal structure, electronic correlation and electronic structure in f-electron metals have not been well understood. In this study, utilizing recent advances in third-generation synchrotron x-ray spectroscopies and high-pressure diamond-anvil cell technologies, we describe the pressure-induced spectral changes across the volume collapse transition in Gd at 60 GPa and well above. The spectral results suggest that the f-electrons of high-pressure Gd phases are highly correlated even at 100 GPa – consistent with the Kondo volume collapse model and the recent experimental evidence of strong electron correlation of α-Ce.
