Electronegativity: Chemical Hardness II

Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 1997
It has been suggested that the absolute hardness of density functional theory be identified with the chemical hardness of Pearson's principle of hard and soft acids and bases.

Chemical and Physical “Hardness”

Materials Research Innovations, 1997
A common theme links chemical, mechanical, and optical hardnesses. It is the gap in the bonding energy spectra of materials. This gap determines molecular stability, and therefore ”chemical hardness”. Chemists call it the LUMO-HOMO gap between anti-bonding and bonding molecular orbitals.

A Density Functional Approach to Hardness, Polarizability, and Valency of Molecules in Chemical Reactions

open access: yesThe Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1996
We have studied the variation of hardness, polarizability, and valency of molecules during the course of a chemical reaction. For isomerization reactions, the quantities are calculated through Kohn-Sham version of spin-polarized density functional theory

Force constants and chemical hardnesses

Molecular Physics, 1997
The two most important parameters of density functional theory, namely chemical hardness and chemical potential, have been calculated for more than 35 diatomic molecules at HF/6- 31G* level of theory. Correlations between force constant and binding energy with the chemical hardness have been derived and analysed for the above-mentioned 35 molecules ...

On the Validity of the Maximum Hardness Principle and the Minimum Electrophilicity Principle During Chemical Reactions

open access: yesJournal of Physical Chemistry A, 2013
Hardness and electrophilicity values for several molecules involved in different chemical reactions are calculated at various levels of theory and by using different basis sets.

A New Equation for Calculation of Chemical Hardness of Groups and Molecules

open access: yesMolecular Physics, 2015
Chemical hardness is considered to be a useful theoretical descriptor in many experimental and theoretical studies and this concept has several important applications in chemistry. In this study, an equation for atomic hardness is proposed. Following the

Molecular shape, capacitance, and chemical hardness

International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, 2000
To elucidate the effects of overall molecular shape upon the electronic response properties of molecules and nanoclusters we recently have considered various jellium cluster models for the mean excitation energy. Here we apply similar models to characterize the relationship among gross molecular shape, the capacitance of an identically shaped ...

Maximum Chemical and Physical Hardness

Journal of Chemical Education, 1999
Density functional theory (DFT) is briefly reviewed, especially concepts such as the electronic chemical potential and the hardness of the electron density function. There is much evidence, and a mathematical proof, that this chemical hardness is a maximum for an equilibrium system.

Studies of chemical hardness and chemical potential on isomers and hardness profiles of hydrogen-bonded systems

International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, 1997
In the present investigation, chemical hardness and electronic chemical potential for isomers of different molecules were studied by taking into account the principle of maximum hardness. Different isomers of the molecules, XC(O)OX (X=F, Cl), C2H3NO, C2H2, and HCNC, were considered for the above investigation.
