    Notes: Abstract A theoretical approach, in which the potential functions representing rotational isomerization processes are expressed in terms of linear combinations of local potentials, is presented. Partitioning the torsional potential allows identification of specific contributions that are at the origin of the shape of potential curves at different regions along the torsional variable. Key properties, such as barrier heights, may then be expressed parametrically in terms of properties associated to the stable conformations. Simple analytical expressions intended to explore, quantitatively and qualitatively, the main characteristics of the transition states connecting stable isomers are formulated. As a first step towards the study of complex systems, we use this procedure to analyseab initio results concerning thecis-trans isomerization reaction of two simple prototype molecules: HSNS and HONO. We determine the relative stabilities of the different isomers and molecular structures and evaluate the associated potential barriers. It is shown that the mathematical procedure used to get potential functions is quite convenient and may be applied to the study of more complex isomerization reactions. Numerical results concerning molecular structures, potential barriers, ionization potentials and dipole moments are discussed. Comparing the values for barrier heights suggests that S(O)-S(O) π bonding through the mechanism of hyperconjugation may be present, to some extent, especially in HSNS.

    Notes: Point symmetry is a discrete concept; A nuclear configuration for a given stoichiometry either has or has not a particular point symmetry. By contrast, both static and dynamic properties of actual molecules exhibit continuous features. Using the formalism of fuzzy-set theory, we had previously proposed the concept of syntopy as a continuous extension of the symmetry concept for quasi-symmetric systems: This was based on an energetic criterion taking into account the energy costs of nuclear rearrangements. This extension of symmetry was necessarily dependent on the considered electronic state: For a given geometric arrangement of the nuclei, the energy cost of some rearrangement is dependent on the actual potential surface, that is, on the electronic state, in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. In the extension of the syntopy model reported in the present work, we consider a syntopy criterion that is common to all electronic states. The syntopy thus defined - called the fundamental syntopy of the reduced nuclear configuration space - is independent of the potential surface and of the electronic state: It is defined only in terms of a geometric condition, which makes it more appropriate to rationalize mesoscopic structures. This new syntopy model provides a connection between all possible syntopies generated by the various potential-energy surfaces supported by the considered family of atomic nuclei. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A semiclassical density functional approach is used to evaluate the smooth part of the variation of the Hartree-Fock (HF) binding energy in atoms, from helium through xenon. The energy density functional is chosen with an improved form for the kinetic energy functional (KEF). The variation of the HF binding energy is split into smooth and oscillating (shell-structure) parts, in accordance with Strutinskyøs self-consistent averaging procedure, which is equivalent to a semiclassical ħ-expansion of the KEF. This enables a well-grounded evaluation of the oscillating part of the HF binding energy, which displays a quasi-periodic behavior expressing clearly the shell structure of atoms. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
