Electronic correlation

• VB method and polyelectronic functions

• IC• DFT

The charge or spin interaction between 2 electrons is sensitive to the real relative position of the electrons that is not described using an average distribution. A large part of the correlation is then not available at the HF level. One has to use polyelectronic functions (VB method), post Hartree-Fock methods (CI) or estimation of the correlation contribution, DFT.

Electronic correlation

A of the correlation refers to HF: it is the “missing energy” for SCF convergence:

Ecorr= E – ESCF

Ecorr< 0 ( variational principle)

Fermi hole – Coulomb holeEach electron should be surrounded by an “empty

volume” excluding the presence of another electron– of the same spin (Fermi hole)– of opposite spins (Coulomb hole)In HF, the Probability of finding an electron with the same spin

at the same place is 0; that of finding an electron with spin is not!

Correlation Left-Right

The probability of finding 1 electron in the left region and one in the right is 1.

In HF it is only ½;Taking into account correlation reduces the probability of finding the electrons together; it decreases the weight of the ionic contribution.

Electrons are indiscernible:

If is a valid solution

also is.

The polyelectronic function is therefore:

To satisfy Pauli principle this symmetric expression is associated with an antisymmetric spin function: this represents a singlet state!Each atomic orbital is occupied by one electron: for a bond, this represents a covalent bonding.

Page 12: 1 Electronic correlation VB method and polyelectronic functions IC DFT The charge or spin interaction between 2 electrons is sensitive to the real relative

The total function has to be antisymmetric; for a triplet state since the spin is symmetric, the spatial function has to be antisymmetric.

The Valence-Bond method

It consists in describing electronic states of a molecule from AOs by eigenfunctions of S2, Sz and symmetry operators. There behavior for dissociation is then correct. These functions are polyelectronic. To satisfy the Pauli principle, functions are determinants or linear combinations of determinants build from spinorbitals.

Valence BondMake the list of all the resonance structures. (a complete

treatment necessitates considering all of them).To each one is associated a VB expression (and a Lewis

structure).• Rule 1: electrons belonging to a pair have opposite spins• Rule 2: bonds are represented by covalent singlet functions• Rule 3: The total wavefunction is antisymmetric relative to

exchange of spins (symmetric relative to exchange of electrons).

• The VB functions interact to give linear combinations (coefficients and energies are obtained through a variational principle and a secular determinant)

• The square of the coefficients are the weights of the VB structure

Resonance & covalence,

Both structures contribute to the bonding, equally for MOs or when K is neglected:

(1+S) (aa+bb)+(1-S) (ab+ba)

There is 1 electron in each orbital so that the density is the same:

The ionic VB structure: H+ H-

The covalent: H-H

In the middle plane, the amplitude is not zero for the two VB structures. When they combine equally, they double (bonding state) or vanish (antibonding state).

Resonance & covalence, electron pair & AF diradical

The ionic VB structure: H+ H-

(aa+bb) matches better the description of electron pairs, the two electrons being located at the same place

The covalent: H - H (ab+ba) corresponds better to an antiferromagnetic state with one electron on each side and a diradical.

Interaction Configuration

The OM calculated at the HF level are eigenfunctions of H°+<Repij> that is not H°+<1/rij>. We can form linear combinations of the determinants using variational theory. This is the IC. If the basis set is “complete”, a full IC should lead to experimental results (excepting relativistic effects, Born-Oppenheimer…)

Interaction Configuration

OM/IC: In general the OM are those calculated in an initial HF calculation.

Usually they are those for the ground state.

MCSCF: The OM are optimized simultaneously with the IC (each one adapted to the state).

Matrix elements within a state and an excited state: Slater rules

<GSI > = [(ppIqr)-(pqIpr)] - [(ttIqr)-(tqItr)] pq p q

All the matrix elements are bielectronic terms (since H-HHF concerns the bielectronic repulsion).Many of them are equal to zero.

For a single excitation, the terms are the off-diagonal terms of the Fock-matrix, which are 0 for HF eigenfunctions.There is no mixing between the GS and the mono-excited states. Brillouin theorem (already seen using symmetry).

Mind the spatial symmetry

Only determinants with the same symmetry interact.

To perform an IC:

Generate all the configurations corresponding to an electronic state (solutions of Sz and S2) and eliminate those that are of different symmetry.

Full symmetry, truncated symmetrySince it is expensive, instead of making a full IC, one

restricts the “space of configuration” to a small space. Note that VB includes more physics in truncations.

VB vs. ICBoth methods are equivalent provided that • The same basis set are used• there is no simplification (truncation of the # of VB

structures or limited IC)They both take into account correlation and allow mixing

covalent and ionic contributions in variable amounts.Advantage of VB: • Close to Lewis structures and chemical language• Easier to visualize and then easier for making

approximationAdvantage of IC: • Many efficient softwares• Less thinking

Density Functional TheoryWhat is a functional? A function of another function: In mathematics, a functional is traditionally a map from a

vector space to the field underlying the vector space, which is usually the real numbers. In other words, it is a function that takes a vector as its argument or input and returns a scalar. Its use goes back to the calculus of variations where one searches for a function which minimizes a certain functional.

E = E[(r)]

E() = T() + VN-e() + Ve-e()

Thomas-Fermi model (1927): The kinetic energy for an electron gas may be represented as a

functional of the density.

It is postulated that electrons are uniformely distributed in space. We fill out a sphere of momentum space up to the Fermi value, 4/3 pFermi

3 . Equating #of electrons in coordinate space to that in phase space gives:

n(r) = 8/(3h3) pFermi3 and T(n)=c ∫ n(r)5/3 dr

T is a functional of n(r).Llewellen Hilleth Thomas 1903-1992

First theorem: on existence

The first H-K theorem demonstrates that the ground state properties of a many-electron system are uniquely determined by an electron density.

It lays the groundwork for reducing the many-body problem of N electrons with 3N spatial coordinates to only 3 spatial coordinates, through the use of functional of the electron density.

This theorem can be extended to the time-dependent domain to develop time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), which can be used to describe excited states.

The external potential, and hence the total energy, is a unique functional of the electron density.

First theorem on Existence : demonstrationThe external potential, and hence the total energy, is a unique functional of the electron density. The proof of the first theorem is remarkably simple and proceeds by reductio ad absurdum.

Let there be two different external potentials, V1 and V2 , that give rise to the same density . The associated Hamiltonians,H1 and H2, will therefore have different ground state wavefunctions, 1 and 2, that each yield .

E1 < < 2 IH 1I 2 > = < 2 IH 2I 2 > + < 2 IH1 -H 2I 2 > = E2 + ∫ rV1r V2r))dr

E2 < < 1 IH 2I 1 > = E1 + ∫ rV2r V1r))dr

E1 + E2 < E1 + E2

Therefore ∫ rV1r V2r))dr=0 and V1r V2r)The electronic energy of a system is function of a single electronic density only.

Second theorem: Variational principleThe second H-K theorem defines an energy functional for the system and proves that the correct ground state electron density minimizes this energy functional :

If (r) is the exact density, E[(r)] is minimum and we search for by minimizing E[(r)] with ∫ (r)dr = N

(r) is a priori unknown

As for HF, the bielectronic terms should depend on two densities i(r) and j(r) : the approximation 2e(ri,rj) = i(ri) j(rj) assumes no coupling.

Kohn-Sham equationsEquation 2:

The intractable many-body problem of interacting electrons in a static external potential is reduced to a tractable problem of non-interacting electrons moving in an effective potential. The effective potential includes the external potential and the effects of the Coulomb interactions between the electrons, e.g., the exchange and correlation interactions.

Using an effective potential, one has a one-body expression.

DFT Advantages : much less expensive than IC or VB.

adapted to solides, metal-metal bonds.

Disadvantages: less reliable than IC or VB.

One can not compare results using different functionals*. In a strict sense, semi-empical,not ab-initio since an approximate (fitted) term is introduced in the hamiltonian.

* The variational priciples applies within a given functional and not to compare them. The only test for validity is comparison with experiment, not a global energy minimum!
