With one electron introduced with each pz orbital, the lower molecular orbital (MO) will be doubly occupied (highest occupied molecular orbital, HOMO), while the upper antibonding molecular orbital is unoccupied (LUMO, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital). As the chain is extended to grea...
The antibonding molecular orbital has a nodal plane between the two atoms. The antibonding molecular orbital is symbolized by σ*, (“sigma-star”). Figure 1.11 shows the energy of the σ and σ* molecular orbitals relative to the energy of the 1 s orbitals of the hydrogen atoms. As we ...
An analysis reveals the effectiveness of the method to depend on the relative magnitude of two quantities, one involving the one‐electron operator energies and the other related to electron interaction integrals which connect the bonding with the antibonding orbitals from the simple ASMO scheme. Some...
The formation of S22+ (X1Σg+) is associated with the removal of two electrons from the outermost 2πg2 molecular orbital, which is antibonding in nature. This results in a shortening of the S–S equilibrium distance. For instance, we calculated a S–S distance of 3.588 Bohr (= 1.898 ...
10. The process of intrinsic ion migration in ABX3(A = alkali metal or monovalent molecular cation; B = Pb or Sn; X = halogen) results in super device stability11. Due to these attractive features, these optoelectronic halide perovskite semiconductors have recently undergone ...
It was found that the main interaction contributing to the weakening of the C=Ge bond is a transfer of electron density from the lone pair of the phosphorus atom to the molecular antibonding orbital localized on the Ge–C bond.doi:10.1080/00268970902780288...
Furthermore, n --> sigma* stabilization arising from donation of electron density from the carbon lone pair orbital into S-H or S-C antibonding orbitals leads to larger than expected torsional barriers. Finally, natural resonance theory analysis indicates that the bond order of the sulfur ylides...
This results in Wiberg bond indices (WBI) sensibly lower than unity (WBIPN = 0.721, 0.697, 0.707, respectively), reflected in optimized P–N bond lengths (dPN) in the range between 1.741 and 1.749 Å. All the anions feature virtual MOs antibonding with respect to the P–N bonds. ...
