In 30 monosubstituted benzene cation radicals, studied at the ωB97XD/aug-cc-pVTZ level, the phenyl rings usually adopt a compressed form, but a differently compressed form—equivalent to an elongated one—may coexist. The computational and literature ionization potentials are well correlated. The geometrical and magnetic aromaticity, estimated using HOMA and NICS indices, show the systems to be structurally aromatic but magnetically antiaromatic or only weakly aromatic. The partial charge is split between the substituent and ring and varies the most at C(ipso). In the ring, the spin is 70%, concentrated equally at the C(ipso) and C(p) atoms. The sEDA(D) and pEDA(D) descriptors of the substituent effect in cation radicals, respectively, were determined. In cation radicals, the substituent effect on the σ-electron system is like that in the ground state. The effect on the π-electron systems is long-range, and its propagation in the radical quinone-like ring is unlike that in the neutral molecules. The pEDA(D) descriptor correlates well with the partial spin at C(ipso) and C(p) and weakly with the HOMA(D) index. The correlation of the spin at the ring π-electron system and the pEDA(D) descriptor shows that the electron charge supplied to the ring π-electron system and the spin flow oppositely.

Abstract In this note, the authors’ recently developed non-perturbative open-shell theory is adapted for direct calculation o f ionisation potential and excitation energy of m any-electron systems. The H -F ground state is used as the “vacuum ” or “ core” in order to achieve a transparent separation o f the ground state energy. An application to a simple 4 π-electron system is discussed as an illustration o f the workability of the theory.

A new method is proposed, which allows for the determination of the ground state energy and the natural orbitals (NO's) of a two-electron system directly and simultaneously. The basis for this calculation is a system of integrodifferential-equations, which defines those NO's.

AbstractThe 13C FT NMR spectra of phenylacetylene (1), p-methoxyphenylacetylene (2), p-fluorophenyl-acetylene (3), p-chlorophenylacetylene (4), p-bromophenylacetylene (5), p-ethylphenylacetylene (6) and p-isopropylphenylacetylene (7) as well as of a number of monosubstituted benzenes have been measured. The 13 C-chemical shifts in these compounds are correlated with the total charge densities at the corresponding carbon atoms, calculated by the CNDO/2 method. The present results show that a simple additivity exists between 13C-chemical shifts in substituted benzenes, phenylacetylene and substituted phenylacetylenes and that practically no charge transfer between the linked sub-stituted phenyl and the ethinyl groups takes place. The interaction of the ethinyl substituent and the π-electron system can mainly be attributed to inductive effects.

Two-dimensional (2D) electron systems in the presence of disorder are of interest in connection with the observed metal-insulator transition in such systems. We use density functional theory in its local-spin density approximation (LSDA) to calculate the ground-state energy of a 2D electron system in the presence of remote charged impurities which up on averaging provides disorder. The inverse compressibility calculated from the ground-state energy exhibits a minimum at a critical density controlled by the disorder strength. Our findings are in agreement with experimental results.

One electron system minimally coupled to a quantized radiation field is considered. It is assumed that the quantized radiation field is massless, and no infrared cutoff is imposed. The Hamiltonian, H, of this system is defined as a self-adjoint operator acting on L2 (ℝ3) ⊗ ℱ ≅ L2 (ℝ3; ℱ), where ℱ is the Boson Fock space over L2 (ℝ3 × {1, 2}). It is shown that the ground state, ψg, of H belongs to [Formula: see text], where N denotes the number operator of ℱ. Moreover, it is shown that for almost every electron position variable x ∈ ℝ3 and for arbitrary k ≥ 0, ‖(1 ⊗ Nk/2) ψg (x)‖ℱ ≤ Dk e-δ|x|m+1 with some constants m ≥ 0, Dk > 0, and δ > 0 independent of k. In particular [Formula: see text] for 0 < β < δ/2 is obtained.
