Electron Density Geometry and the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2021
A novel form of charge density analysis, that of isosurface curvature redistribution, is formulated and applied to the toy problem of carbonyl oxygen activation in formaldehyde. The isosurface representation of the electron charge density allows us to incorporate the rigorous geometric constraints of closed surfaces towards the analysis and chemical ...

Quantum theory of atoms in molecules in condensed charge density space [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Chemistry, 2019
By leveraging the fundamental doctrine of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules — the partitioning of the electron charge density (ρ) into regions bounded by surfaces of zero flux — we map the gradient field of ρ onto a two-dimensional space called the gradient bundle condensed charge density ([Formula: see text]).

Relativistic (SR‐ZORA) quantum theory of atoms in molecules properties

open access: yesJournal of Computational Chemistry, 2016
The Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) is used to elucidate the effects of relativity on chemical systems. To do this, molecules are studied using density‐functional theory at both the nonrelativistic level and using the scalar relativistic zeroth‐order regular approximation.

Anomeric Effect in Halogenated Methanols: A Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules Study

open access: yesThe Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2013
The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) has been used to analyze the gauche conformational preference of fluoromethanol and chloromethanol. The analysis of the total atomic population and localization and delocalization indices show trends that are not in line with the hyperconjugative explanation.

The strength of actinide–element bonds from the quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules

open access: yesDalton Transactions, 2015
Excellent correlation is found between standard QTAIM metrics and An–N bond lengths, and with N–N bond lengths and vibrational frequencies, but much poorer correlations exist with An–N and An–O interaction energies. Superior correlations are found between interaction energies and the change in the QTAIM charge on compound formation.

A problematic issue for atoms in molecules: Impact of (quasi-)degenerate states on Quantum Theory Atoms in Molecules and Hirshfeld-I properties [PDF]

open access: yesComputational and Theoretical Chemistry, 2015
Abstract We examine the dependence of atomic properties derived from the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules and the Hirshfeld-I method on the existence of (quasi-)degenerate states. As atomic charges are mostly used to quickly assess chemical reactivity using the molecular electrostatic potential, we computed the correct zeroth order density ...

Decomposition of Møller–Plesset Energies within the Quantum Theory of Atoms-in-Molecules

open access: yesThe Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2018
We discuss two main approaches to decompose the Møller-Plesset perturbation theory molecular energies into atomic contributions within the interacting quantum atoms (IQA) formalism, as implemented in the programs Morphy and AIMAll. For this purpose, the so-called intraatomic energies (also known as self-energies) of a representative set of 55 small ...
