Relativistic Hartree–Fock–Roothaan (RHFR) wavefunctions have been calculated for a large number of atoms up to radon (Z = 86) under the point nucleus approximation using STO's as basis functions. The calculated total as well as orbital energies are in very good agreement with the corresponding results obtained by the numerical integration method.

The present study reports the theoretical vertical ionization potentials (IPs) for all the valence electrons in six XPY2 molecules by utilizing the corrected orbital energies calculated with three theoretical methods, namely, the ab initio Hartree–Fock (HF), and both the pure and hybrid density functional theory (DFT) methods at, respectively, the BLYP/6-311+G* and B3lYP/6-311+G* levels of theory. Evaluation of the numerical corrections to the orbital energies was achieved by comparisons with the IP values obtained via explicit computation of the energy differences between the neutral molecules and the corresponding radical cations (the ΔSCF method) and shows values from –0.9 to –1.9 eV for the HF, and positive values from 2.9 to 3.9 eV and from 1.8 to 2.4 eV for the pure and hybrid DFT methods, respectively. In contrast to the orbital energies, the ΔSCF method is shown to give consistent values among the three methods, as well as reasonable agreement with the experimental IP values.Key words: ionization potential, phosphorane, Koopmans' theorem, Janak's theorem.

Binding energies are calculated using the orbital energies within the Kohn-Sham-Gaspar statistical exchange approx­imation for the Xe and Ar isoelectronic series, respectively. The results are generally in good agreement with the available Hartree-Fock orbital energies.

An analog of Koopmans’ theorem is formulated for the energies, εa, of virtual Kohn–Sham (KS) molecular orbitals (MOs) from the requirement that the KS theory provides, in principle, not only the exact electron density, but also its exact response. The starting point is the Kohn–Sham analog of Koopmans’ theorem, relating the vertical ionization energies, Ii, to the energies, εi, of the occupied MOs ( Chong, D.P.; Gritsenko, O.V.; Baerends, E.J. J. Chem. Phys. 2002, 116, 1760 ). Combining this with the coupled-perturbed equations of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), exact relations between the energies, εa, of virtual KS MOs and the excitation energies, ωia, and vertical ionization energies (VIPs), Ii, are obtained. In the small matrix approximation for the coupling matrix K of TDDFT, two limiting cases of these relations are considered. In the limit of a negligible matrix element, Kia,ia, the energy, εa, can be interpreted as (minus) the energy of ionization from the ?i → ?a excited state, εa ≈ –Ia, where –Ia is defined from the relation Ii = ωia + Ia. This relation breaks down in special cases, such as charge-transfer transitions and the HOMO–LUMO (highest occupied molecular orbital – lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) transition of a dissociating electron-pair bond (also of charge-transfer character). The present results highlight the important difference between virtual orbital energies in the Kohn–Sham model (εa ≈ –Ia) and in the Hartree–Fock model (εa ≈ –Aa). Kohn–Sham differences εa – εi approximate the excitation energy, ωia, while Hartree–Fock differences [Formula: see text] do not approximate excitation energies but approximate the difference of an ionization energy and an electron affinity, Ii – Aa.
