The momentum space propenis of the temlectron systems Ne, HF. H20, NH3 and Cb as well as those of CHSCHJ.CHzNH2.CHjOH and FCHzOHwere investigated by using localized molecular orbitis (LMO) obtained from ab inido selFconsistent-field (SCF) wavefunctions constructed from double zeta quality gaussian basis sets Compton profdes of various LhlO electron pairs (CC, CN. CO, CF; CH. NH, OH, FH bond pairs and C, N, 0, F lone pairs) ate tabulated In order to understand the correspondence between the momentum and Ihe coordinale space properties of those electron pairs, the concept of the sue and the shape of an LMOelectron pair charge disttibutiott has been utilized. The use of the intermediate expectation values of pn is intraduccd for the purpose of interpreting the momentum space properties. The dependence of molecular property partiuonmg on tbfferent localization schemes and on different basis sets is also studied by using the Hz0 protile as an example.

I. Introduction In the previous paper (part I) of this series [ 11, we observed that the momentum.space properties of localkd and canonical core electron pairs are not the same, and also that those of the carbon-carbon single and double bond electron pairs (obtained from the energy localization procedure) are distinguishable in agreement with experiment [2]. The principal objective of the present study is to establish a correlation, though it may be qualitative, betweeh the coordinate and the momentum space properties of molecules. To achieve this goal we have attempted to find a consistent trend by studying a number of closely related molecules and electron pairs. The ten-electron molecular systems HF, H20, NH3 and CH4 were selected in the present study, from

which one obtains CH, NH, OH and FH bond electron pairs as well as N, 0 and F !one pairs (1~). To complete the latter series of e!ectron pairs, the methyl anion CH3 was also considered, although it is a charged species. Another interesting series of bond electron pairs are C-C, C-N, C-O and C-F. The C-C bond electron pair obtained from CH$H, was already considered in part 1. To obtain the C-N and C-O electron pairs, CH$H2 and CH30H were respectively chosen. Finally the C-F bond electron pair was taken from the wavefunction of FCHsOH [3] rather than from that af CH,F, since the former was available to us. 2. calculations

These GTFs are the same as those employed for CH4

and CH3CH3 in part 1. Namely, the GTFs for C, N, 0 and F were obtained from the work of Huzinaga and Sakai [4], while the GTFs for H from that of Basch et al. [S]t. The localized molecular orbit& (LMO) were then obtained from these canonical molecular orbitals (CMO) through the use of the energy localization procedure developed by Edmiston and Ruedenberg 161. Finally the Dirac-Fourier transformation [7] was ap plied to these coordinate space LMOs to generate

or

their momentum space properties, Further details of the momentum space integration were specified in part 1. Due to the invariance of the one-particle density matrix (within the independent particle model) against any unitary transformation among the occupied molecular orbitah [S], every total molecular property is the same either in the CM0 or in the LMO approach. However, the main advantage of the latter approach is to make possible the quantitative interpretation of molecular properties in terms of core, bond and lone electron pairs.

(2) after an appropriate unitary transformation. This transformation may be viewed as a rotation of the

coordinate axes such that the internuclear axis of a bond electron pair coincides with one of the rotated axes** . Then the diagonalized components (~‘~>, and (z’~)of an LMO electron pair provide us with qualitative information about its charge distribution. These quantities partially account for the directional properties of the electron pair charge distribution that is lost in the detinition of size. In this sense they are

termed as the sfrupeof an electron pair [I 11. 3.1. CJurrgeand momentum disnibution

Coulson [9a] has observed that in H: and H2, the contours of equal momentum density in a plane through the internuclear axis are nearly ellipses with elongation perpendicular to pX, where the x-axis coincides with the internuclear axis. The charge density contours are elongated along the x-axis. The size 52, of an LMO electron pair $a is defined (lo] as its second moment measured at the centroid R, of the charge distribution

The final og timized geometry gives 105” as the aHCH. t For the second row atoms, [ 13s7p]primitive GTFs tie contracted to double zeta [4’2t’],whilefor H [4s1primitiveCTFs to double zeta [ 2s]. By using these basis sets, we obtained tbe total energiesof -39.4617, -56.1717, -75.8863, -100.0327, -128.5434, -95.0808 and -115.0111 au for CH;, NHs. HaO, HF. Ne, CHJNHa.C&OH. respectively. l

For the various electron pairs (CC, CN, CO, CF; CH, NH, OH, FH bond pairs and C, N, 0, F lone lairs), our size and shape calculations are summarized in table 1. Here the largest component of the diagonahzed second moments is arbitrarily labelled as (~‘3, and only the average value of and (z’2)is listed because the latter are nearly the sarneti. As one would expect we notice from table 1 that each electron pair charge l

The radial moments ~s~butio~s for the bond electron pairs CC,CN, Co and CF (all singlebonds) are shown in fig. 1. As the atomic number of X in the C-X bond electron pair (where X represents C, N, 0 or F atom) increases,the momentum distribution of the C-X bond is shifted more to the large momentum region.This meansthat electrons in the C-X electron pair are more tightly bound to their constituent nuclei with increasing atomic number of X, for X in the

Qmpron profiies Compton profiles of the various electron pairs considered in the previous section are given in tables 2,3 and 4 and in figs.4,s and 6. It is noted that electron pairswhich have more electronegativeatoms result in lower and broader Compton profiles (see CC, CN, Co, CF; B1, NH, OH, FH; C lp, N Ip, 0 lp, F Ip profdes). By consideringthe radial momentum distributions of these electron pairs, it may then be said that as more electrons are dist~buted in the smallmomentum region, the correspondingprofile becomes sharper. That Compton profdes are mainly due to electron distribution at low momentum can be shown numeticahy by using the intermediate expectation valuesof p” defmed as follows:

Considerationof Ip-$ and (p2], together with b”], for variousvdues of II revealsthat a Compton profile is very sensitiveto the electron di+ t~bution at Iow moments, but that lhe kinetic energy has quite the opposite behaviour. For example, ap proximateiy two electrons are found in the momentum region 0 Gp 4 1 au in the case of H20. The contribu tion from these electrons amounts to roughly half the total J(O), but only about 1%of the total kinetic energy of HzO. Detailsof this approach will be reported Qsewhere[ 18, !P]. A comparison between our l..MOprofiles and those of Epstein [ZO]is in order. In the latter work Slater type minimal basis sets have been employed. For @d

and Co bond electron pairs, our profiles are lower and broader than Epstein’s,the ~fference being larger than that we found for the hydrocarbon LMOprofiles in part 1.Howeverit is not surprising,because our CN and CO profdes were obtained from CH$WZ and CHJOH,while the correspondingprofiies calculated by Epstein were from the LMOsof HCNand H$O. Thus our profiles represent C-N and C-O single bonds, but Epstein’sprofiles correspond to C=N and C=O multiple bonds. Then the above discrepancy is in agreement with our conclusion in part I that multi. pie bond electron pairs have more expanded charge distributions than do singlebond electron pairs, and thus the Compton profile of a singlebond is lower than that of the correspondingmultiple bond. Significantdiscrepanciesbetween our results and those of Epstein [20] occur for the electron pairs of loneqptircontaining molecules.Our NH and OH profiles have lower peaks than do Epstein’s,while our N Ip and 0 Ip profdes are higher. Whenwe sum those LMOprofdes and construct the total profiles of NH, and HzO,however,Epstein’sand our total proftiesare not as different asare the individualLMOprofiles&e table 5). Thiswould nom&y indicate that a certain molecularproperty, the Compton profile in our case,is differently p~tioned due to different basisset quality, because the same localization procedure (the energy localization) has been employed in Epstein’sand our work. But our NH and N Ip and OH and 0 Ip profies were taken from NH3and H20, respectively,while the co~espon~g valuesof Epstein represent averages over certain molecules.Therefore no meaningful comparisoncan be made for those profiles. Recently von Niessenhas shown [Zi] that the various intrinsic localization methods lead to almost the samepartitioning for poiyatomic moleculeswhen the samebasis set is employed. In order to see the dependence of the molec~ pro~r~ parti~o~g on tiferent localization procedures and on different basis sets, we have calculated the LMOprofiles by using both the energy [6] and Boys [22] localization schemesfor the Hz0 wavefunction of Diercksen1231. This SCF wavefunction is constructed from GTFs which have polarization functions on the H and 0 centers.(The ~l~s~ld~6slP]p~~~veGTFsarecontracted to the [5s4pId/3slP] GTFs.) Table 6 summarizes this result, where the 2nd column contains 1(O) valuestaken from tables 2,3 and 4, and the next two
