    Notes: The reaction in aqueous solutions between carbon disulphide and morpholine has been studied experimentally at 303 K using a conductimetric stopped-flow technique. The observed pseudo-first order rate constant does not vary linearly with amine concentration but follows the equation: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k_{obs} = k_{Am} [R_2 NH]^2 + k_w [R_2 NH][H_2 O] $$\end{document} .This equation is compatible both with (i) zwitterion intermediate and (ii) single-step termolecular reaction mechanisms which were previously proposed for the corresponding reactions of CO2 and COS. Values of rate constants kAm and kw at 303 K are also reported.

    Notes: The productivity of fermentations is often limited by end product inhibition. This can be avoided by continuous removal of the inhibiting product from the broth. Such in-situ separation can be conveniently accomplished by liquid-liquid extraction. As an example, the continuous fermentation of ethanol by the thermophilic, anaerobic bacterium Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum is investigated in a 20-1 fermenter with simultaneous in-situ extraction by oleyl alcohol as organic solvent. Continuous fermentations with and without in-situextraction were carried out with systematic variation of the independent operating conditions, viz. feed glucose concentration, broth flow rate and solvent flow rate. The experimental results of 18 steady states are reported. They show that in-situ extractions doubles the yield, selectivity and space-time yield of ethanol in comparison to fermentations without in-situ extraction. A biomodel elucidates the influence of feed glucose concentration, broth flow rate and solvent flow rate on the productivity of the fermentation process. Finally, a cost model was developed for the investigated fermentation which allows economic evaluation of the results of experiments and simulation. A sensitivity study elucidates the economic limits and advantages of fermentation with in-situ extraction compared to a common fermentation without product separation.

    Notes: Gas diffusion electrodes, made of PTFE-bonded carbon with precious metal catalysts, were investigated as hydrogen consuming anodes in sodium sulphate electrolysis. The catalysts used were platinum and palladium and mixtures of both metals, prepared by two different methods. Various metal meshes were used as current collector. The electrodes performed well in pure sulphuric acid (5-15 wt-%) and in mixtures with sodium sulphate (10 wt-%) at temperatures of 30 to 70°C and current densities up to 5 kA/m2. In long-term experiments, at a current density of 2.6 kA/m2, the electrodes were stable over three months. The electrodes were characterised by stationary current density/potential curves and by galvanostatic current interruption measurements.

    Notes: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the swelling of emulsion liquid membranes using dithio-DEHPA as carrier. The application of interest was the removal of zinc from a synthetic aqueous solution which simulates a zinc plant effluent. The effect of several variables such as the concentration of carrier in the membrane, stirring speed and permeation time on the swelling of the emulsion is reported. Experimental results show that occlusion depends mainly on the amount of carrier in the membrane and can be significant when the concentration of carrier is lower than 6.0%. The interfacial tension analysis confirms that the size of globules is influenced by the concentration of carrier in the membrane. Stirring speed and permeation time are related to the water transport and must be kept at low values.

    Notes: Process models are used to formulate knowledge about process behaviour. They are applied, e.g., to predict the process' future behaviour and for state estimation when reliable on-line measuring techniques to monitor the key variables of the process are not available. There are different sources of information available for modelling, which provide process knowledge in different representations. Some elements or aspects may be described by physically based mathematical models and others by heuristically obtained rules of thumb, while some information may still be hidden in the process data recorded during previous runs of the process. Heuristic rules are conveniently processed with fuzzy expert systems, while artificial neural networks present themselves as a powerful tool for uncovering the information within the process data without the need to transform the information into one of the other representations. Artificial neural networks and fuzzy technology are increasingly being employed for modelling biotechnological processes, thus extending the traditional way of process modelling by mathematical equations. However, a sufficiently comprehensive combination of all these techniques has not yet been put forward. Here, we present a simple way of combining all the available knowledge relating to a given process. In a case study, we demonstrate the development of a hybrid model for state estimation and prediction on the example of a yeast production process. The model was validated during a cultivation performed in a standard pilot-scale fermenter.

    Notes: The pyrolysis of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been described in terms of a relatively simple kinetic model, based on a large number of laboratory tests. The model predictions are in a good agreement with experimental data, regarding hydrochloric acid and non-condensable combustible gases. Therefore, the proposed model can be used to predict with good approximation the distributions of the above classes of compounds, in the whole range of applied experimental conditions.

    Notes: Computer-aided design of a packed column to remove ethanol from aqueous solution with dibutyl butylphosphonate (DBBP) was accomplished with a programme based on the Pratt method and on the slip velocity equation. Reliable data for successful computation were obtained from literature correlations (drop size, hold-up and axial mixing coefficients for different types of packing) and from experimental work (equilibria and kinetics). Equilibrium studies on the H2O-ethanol-dibutyl butylphosphonate system were performed at different temperatures. A decrease in temperature increased the selectivity of the extractant while the distribution coefficient of ethanol, KD ≈ 1.0, remained constant. The behaviour of the system kinetics towards temperature is assessed in order to determine the initial mass transfer flux (892 × 10-3 kg m-2s-1, 30°C) and the activation energy, 22.9 kJ/kmol. The process is governed by the diffusion of the species involved. The influence of the type of packing of the column on its design is analyzed from the inventory volume of the solvent, the total volume of the column and the axial dispersion coefficients under normalised inlet and outlet conditions.

    Notes: In this study, a simple and effective technique for determining overall mass transfer coefficients in fixed bed sorption columns with recycle is presented. This new technique is free of the assumption of negligible time rate of solute concentration change in the fluid, i.e. (∂c/∂t) = 0, which has been widely used in former fixed bed sorption column analyses.

    Notes: The results of experimental investigations on distillation columns operating on a lab and on a production scale are presented and compared with the results obtained by simulation. There is good agreement between experiment and simulation. On the basis of these results a dynamic analysis was carried out. It compares the dynamic behaviour of packed and plate distillation columns of the same diameter and same number of theoretical plates. This reflects the influence of the different hold-ups of the two columns.

    Notes: Using methods of statistical thermodynamics, adsorption isotherms for the description of multicomponent chemisorption of different-sized molecular species are derived by assuming the adsorbing surface to be energetically homogeneous and by neglecting lateral interactions between the adsorbed particles. In the first part of this contribution, the adsorption equilibria for a mixture of different-sized chain molecules adsorbed on a lattice of coordination number z are discussed supposing each unit of a given chain to bind to one adsorption site only. In the second part, the coadsorption of molecular species consisting of a different number of segments on a continuous surface is treated. A comparison of the predicted to the measured isotherms for the coadsorption of two freon species on activated carbon shows that the proposed equations describe the results of the coadsorption measurements sufficiently well, provided the adsorption data for the pure components have been determined experimentally.

    Notes: Single, binary, ternary and quaternary adsorption equilibria of CO2, CO, CH4 and N2 on molecular sieve 5A and activated carbon were experimentally determined over a pressure range from 10-4 to 101 MPa, a temperature range from 303 to 363 K and at various compositions. The adsorption equilibria of steam reformer gases as needed for the hydrogen purification in pressure swing adsorption units were measured by using a circulating volumetric method. For the temperature-dependent correlation of pure gas isotherm fields the Toth equation, which is a favorable model for heterogeneous adsorbents, was extended by two parameters accounting for the temperature-dependencies of the saturation loading and the heterogeneity parameter. Multicomponent equilibria were successfully predicted from single component isotherms by the Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory based on the accurate representation of the pure component data by this temperature dependent Toth equation. Other thermodynamic models like the HIAS, the MIAS, the SPD or the VS theory and the Statistical Thermodynamics Model were also applied to the prediction of the adsorption equilibrium and the temperature and pressure dependence of the selectivity, with comparable success, which is due to the quasi-ideal adsorption behavior even at a high pressure.

    Notes: Manganese mixed oxide composite layers of about 1 μm thickness on titanium sheet as substrate were fabricated by firing of the corresponding nitrates at a typical temperature of 400°C in air. The activity of these anodes was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (10 mV/s) and the stability was determined by chronopotentiometry (2.5 mA/cm2) in 1M H2SO4. The oxidation of 2-propanol was examined as a simple electroorganic model reaction. The quality of a first category of mixed oxides with general composition MnMe2O4 decresed in the order Me = Co, Ni, Fe. In a second group with the general formula MeMn2O4 a decrease in the order Me = Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, Ti, Zn, Cd, Ca, Mg, (Zn, Ge), Li was observed. The corresponding candidates of the second group were superior to those of the first. The anode service life τ of the optimum spinel anode CoMn2O4/Ti is dependent on the current density, according to jλ τ = const. (λ = 1.7). Thus high current densities are precluded. The mechanism has been discussed in terms of a heterogeneous redox catalysis: surface Mn(VII) states are formed in a slow electrochemical step. In a subsequent fast chemical oxidation of the organic molecule the original reduced state is regenerated. This also explains the comparatively good service life of these anodes.

    Notes: A process for the manufacture of pure 4-methyl-1-pentene by catalytic dimerization of propylene has been developed in three stages. The first stage involves preparation of a new process catalyst, which contains metallic sodium and potassium deposited on a Bulgarian natural zeolite, the support having been passivated previously by potassium carbonate. The experimental results demonstrate the advantages of the resulting catalyst over exisisting technology, namely 36% conversion and 92% selectivity relevant to liquid isomers. The second development stage concerns the technological regime of chemical reaction for production of 4-methyl-1-pentene. In the third stage, the regime conditions and equipment ensuring desired quality of the product and utilization of the unreacted propylene returned to the reactor are determined. Based on the studies of all stages, a flowsheet is proposed for synthesis and separation of the reaction mixture of isomeric hexenes to give pure 4-methyl-1-pentene.

    Notes: Titanium silicalite-1 samples of different particle size are synthesised and characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Size histograms are taken from transmission electron micrographs. Temporal changes of activity and selectivity for the hydroxylation of phenol and anisole are monitored. It is postulated that the p/o product ratios are due to the greater chemisorption of the ortho molecule.

    Notes: Several kinds of diesel soot filters and filter materials of high melting points with eleven different catalytic coatings were prepared. They were calcined at a maximum temperature of 1000°C. The reaction rate and the kinetic parameters of the combustion of diesel soot were determined in a closed loop laboratory reactor. A packed bed of alumina particulates was the most active filter in soot combustion. Catalytic coatings with oxides of vanadium, copper or cerium accelerated the reaction. In each case the effect of the coating was dependent on specific interactions between the catalyst and the filter material. The manner of filtration and the nature of the soot filter are found to be more important for the overall result than the nature of the catalytic coating.

    Notes: Combined XPS and SIMS measurements, partly supplemented by XRD investigations, were utilized to detect precious metal/support interactions on catalysts containing various precious metals. The Klemm-Bronger reaction between Pt and α-Al2O3 on methane/ammonia catalysts was used as a standard reference. Evidence was found for different stages of Pt/Al interactions and changing electronic properties of Pt on the surfaces of these Pt/α-Al2O3 catalysts by means of XPS and SIMS, and in the bulk material by XRD. The SIMS investigations on Pt and Rh on γ-Al2O3 showed that, even at temperatures around 500 °C, Rh/Al interactions can appear to a small extent in the topmost atomic layers, whereas the Pt/γ-Al2O3 specimens did not show any measurable effects. After on-road operation, enhanced SIMS cluster-ion signals as well as anomalous XPS signal contributions were measured on the surfaces of used three-way automotive emission control catalysts. These signals did not appear for the fresh catalysts. By analogy with the related results reported on the methane/ammonia catalysts, the ion signals were used as qualitative surface probes indicating the presence of precious metal/support interactions, especially between Rh and Al.

    Notes: The catalytic oxidation of fluorene to 9-fluorenone in a fluidized-bed reactor was investigated by modeling of the reactor and simulation of its performance. The “Bubble Assemblage Model” of Kato and Wen, the “Bubbling Bed Model” of Kunii and Levenspiel and the “Countercurrent Backmixing Model” of Potter were applied. From a comparison of simulation results obtained by the various fluidized-bed models and a fixed-bed model conclusions were drawn about the influence of interphase mass transfer and gas backmixing on the conversion of fluorene and slectivity of 9-fluorenone formation. Furthermore, the dependence of conversion and selectivity on temperature and hydrodynamic conditions was investigated. In particular, the implications of a change of hydrodynamic conditions for scale-up were analysed. The highest yield of 9-fluorenone predicted for a bench-scale fluidized bed amounted to 88% (XF = 97%, SNON = 91%). This yield was lower than in a fixed-bed reactor (YNON = 92%, XF = 99%, SNON = 93%). A further drop of the yield was predicted when scaling-up from a bench-scale reactor to a commercial size unit (YNON = 54%, XF = 86%, SNON = 63%).

    Notes: The conversion of ethanol over H-ZSM-5 was studied as a function of ethanol partial pressure, reaction temperature, weight hourly space velocity and Si/Al ratio. The results obtained were in qualitative agreement with most of those in the literature. Combination with all published results to give a significant regression model was not possible due to the large scatter of the data from various scientific groups. In mechanistic investigations, temperature programmed reaction measurements of ethanol, diethyl ether and ethene were performed. The formation of ethene from ethanol via direct elimination or from diethyl ether as intermediate could be confirmed. In the conversion of ethanol/water mixtures, the product distribution did not change significantly up to a water content of 60 wt%. Then, a pronounced increase of ethene formation and a considerable decrease of the yields of aromatics was observed. When several reaction mixtures from syngas conversion to ethanol were converted over H-ZSM-5, the coking rate depended on the product distribution in the feed. Product mixtures from processes with higher amounts of compounds having an unfavourable C/H ratio led to rapid deactivation of the zeolite.

    Notes: The formation of verbenol, verbenone and acids during liquid phase ozone-initiated oxidation of α-pinene has been investigated; temperature, ozone partial pressure and ozone initiation time were the variables studied. While increasing temperature promotes the formation of secondary products, the other two variables affect mainly the selectivity. Thus, an ozone partial pressure and ozone initiation time of 1014 Pa and 10 min, respectively, lead to the highest selectivities. Kinetic expressions for the formation of verbenol and verbenone, which are consistent with experimental data, have also been developed from a free radical mechanism.

    Notes: In a process of precipitation, two or more reactants form a product. In many cases, the solubility of this product is very low and high supersaturation is generated which leads to nucleation and crystal growth. The number of the formed nuclei and their growth govern the particle size distribution of the precipitate. As a rule, the precipitate is separated from the mother liquor in a centrifuge or on a filter. This separation and the subsequent drying process of very fine particles can be very expensive with respect to investment and energy costs. Therefore, it is desirable to produce as coarse a precipitate as possible with a narrow crystal size distribution.

    Notes: The desulphurization of synthesis gas with zinc ferrite was studied in a laboratory-scale fixed-bed reactor. Desulphurization efficiency of 97-99% was obtained. The inlet hydrogen sulphide concentration was about 2600 ppm. A flat breakthrough curve showed that diffusion through the sulphide layer controlled the rate of sulphidization. The degrees of utilization varied between 5 and 11%. Experimental data formed the basis of a kinetic evaluation with the fixed bed model and the unreacted core model. Rate constants, reaction orders, and effective diffusion constants were calculated. When chemical reaction controlled the rate, the order of reaction was between zero and unity. The rate of reaction increased with temperature. Effective diffusivities were of the order of 10-5 m2 s-1, increasing slightly in the temperature range between 500 and 600°C. The activation energy was determined as 54 kJ mol-1, which corresponds to an unexpectedly strong temperature dependence of the diffusion-controlled reaction. The low degrees of utilization, and also the strong temperature dependence, are explained by sintering of the sulphidized zinc ferrite.

    Notes: The hydroxycarbonate of nickel and aluminium (Ni/ Al = 3) with a hydrotalcite-like structure is an outstanding precursor of the active component of supported nickel catalysts. Good mechanical strength and suitable nickel content of these catalysts, which are necessary for practical applications, can be achieved by mechanical mixing of this compound with an additional support. The catalyst prepared from a mixture of 56.5 wt-% of nickel-aluminium hydroxycarbonate and 43.5 wt-% of γ-alumina was proven to have a stable catalytic activity in the methanation reaction at 2 MPa and 800 K.

    Notes: Catalytic dehydrogenation of methanol is a promising process of producing water-free formaldehyde. The present paper reviews research in this field. As effective catalysts mainly transition metal compounds as well as oxides and salts containing sodium have been reported. Several catalysts exhibit high activity and high selectivity, for formaldehyde at low conversions while further efforts have to be made to improve catalyst stability and selectivity at high conversions. Catalytic dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde is compared with methanol oxidation.

    Notes: The separation of ethoxylated aliphatic amines from zinc containing effluents with macroporous polymeric adsorbents Wofatit EP 61, EP 62, Y 59, Y 77 and active carbons has been examined. The adsorption behaviour has been investigated as a function of temperature, time and concentration of Na2SO4, ZnSO4 and H2SO4. The macroporous polymers EP 61, Y 77 and Y 59 are capable of separating ethoxylated aliphatic amines from effluents of viscose fibre industry at higher temperatures and under weakly acidic conditions. In contrast to active carbon, inorganic components are not adsorbed on the investigated macroporous resins. Data obtained in a concentration range of 0 to 10 g of adsorbate per litre produced a Langmuir profile for adsorption of ethoxylated aliphatic amines by polymeric adsorbents.

    Notes: Knowledge of transport processes is of considerable practical importance in the design and performance evaluation of packed bed reactor systems. Acquisition of the required information necessitates a realistic mathematical description of the system. In this study, numerical analysis is performed for forced convective non-Darcian, non-isothermal compressible flow and heat transfer in cylindrical packed beds. Local structural and transport properties are considered. The influence of compressional work as well as viscous dissipation on the thermal field is evaluated and a general criterion provided for assessing the effect of expansion.

    Notes: The phrase “further remarks” in the title of this short paper is meant to imply that reactions and dimensionless groups are not only purely algebraic concepts, but definite numerical values can also be associated with them; in stoichiometry this evaluation may relate, for example, to the heat of reaction and, in dimensional analysis, to what is called a dimensionless number. On the basis of the evaluation concept, it will be shown that a counterpart of Hess' law in thermochemistry is valid in dimensional analysis.

    Notes: Inertial deposition of aerosol droplets (diameter: 1-14 μm) on steel spheres (diameter: 3-9 mm) was investigated. Air velocity was varied between 7 and 28 m/s (corresponding sphere Reynolds numbers: 1400-17000). The impaction on single spheres as well as that on linear arrays of eight spheres was measured. Theoretical results, based on potential flow investigations were verified by single sphere experiments. Of special interest was the range of lower Stokes numbers, where the theoretically predicted limit of deposition cannot be verified. The experiments on sphere arrays were for the first time performed in the low Stokes number range. Deposition on the leading sphere, relative to that on the shielded spheres, exhibits a maximum in the high Stokes number range, but this changes drastically in the low Stokes number range. Here, maximum deposition can be found on the shielded spheres while the leading sphere shows a markedly lower deposition.

    Notes: Due to induced turbulent interactions between particles to be separated and the scrubbing liquid present as droplets, very good collection efficiency down to submicron particle size can be achieved as shown by detailed studies [1]. Assumed are suitable flow conditions, a long residence time and a certain droplet size distribution or a special liquid dispersion system. As the name implies, the cyclone scrubber basically consists of a cyclone. This cyclone serves as a contact space in which the interaction between dust particles and scrubbing liquid droplets takes place, and as a droplet separator. Thus, under normal conditions, a water saturated but dust- and droplet-free gas stream leaves the cyclone. The droplets are generated by a pneumatic atomization nozzle, arranged at the cyclone inlet in the direction of flow. A complete theoretical description of the three-dimensional, three-phase, non-steady turbulent flow in the cyclone scrubber has not been possible up to now. The detailed experimental investigations presented in this work, and covering multiple parameters, led to physically based conclusions about the dominant interactions and separation mechanisms involved. Grade efficiencies which did not fall below 0.75, down to a particle size of 0.5 μm, could be measured by an optical particle counter. Collection efficiency of 99.2% was determined by gravimetric analysis of the dust load, according to VDI-guideline 2066, in the raw and clean gas sections of the dust load, according to VDI-guideline 2066, in the raw and clean gas sections of the cyclone scrubber.

    Notes: Plasma arc welding processes are used in the off-shore industry for construction and maintenance of underwater structures and pipelines in a wet environment. At greater water depths the density of the plasma gas increases because of the greater hydrostatic pressure. This causes conductive heat losses to the wet environment to increase. To maintain the energy flux to the workpiece to be welded, the plasma arc has to burn in a local dry area with an inside pressure of 1 bar. This requirement can be fulfilled by a rotating cylinder with a liquid film flowing down the inner wall. The flow around the rotating cylinder is experimentally investigated. The rotating cylinder is placed above the work surface which is simulated by a flat plate. Because of the centrifugal forces of the rotating flow inside the gap between the lower end of the cylinder and the flat plate the water is forced out of the cylinder. The velocity distribution in the flow is measured by laser Doppler anemometry. The phase distribution in the two-phase flow in the gap is measured by local electrical probes. The static pressure inside the gaseous atmosphere is reduced in comparison to the hydrostatic pressure of the surrounding water. The pressure reduction is given by the void fraction, the phase distribution and the volume flow rates of both phases in the gap as well as by the speed of revolution and the design of the cylinder and the work surface. The influence of these parameters on heat transfer from the workpiece to the two-phase flow regime is also investigated.

    Notes: The process of homogenization of liquids in a tall vessel equipped with a multiple impeller was studied. Up to four standard Rushton turbines and/or six pitched-blade turbines were used. The mixing time in the system was measured by the conductivity method. A continuous time history of the tracer concentration at several points in the system was recorded. The data were interpreted by means of an adapted cell model of the flow within the stirred vessel with several impellers based on the assumption of well mixed cells and intercellular flow of liquid. The liquid transfer flow rate between the cells, as a parameter of the model, was calculated from experimental data. A good agreement between the time dependence of concentration obtained experimentally and that calculated from theory was obtained. A direct relationship between the flow numbers between cells and those of impellers was established.

    Notes: It has been shown that, after a partial deactivation, γ-alumina (γ-Al2O3) is a good catalyst for selective methylation of 1,2-benzenediol in the temperature range of 260-310°C. The main products are the desired 3-methyl-1,2-benzenediol and 2-methoxyphenol, which may be converted in another step into 3-methyl-1,2-benzenediol, giving an overall selectivity for the desired products of 80 to 90%. The catechol forms a strongly chemisorbed surface species on γ-alumina and its steric adsorption model correlates with the kinetic data.

    Notes: Kinetic studies as well as morphological and physico-chemical surface studies have been carried out on the deactivation of a palladium carrier catalyst for vinyl acetate synthesis in the ethylene gas phase process. The experiments cover concentration and temperature ranges of technical interest at a total pressure of 900 kPa. The deactivation rate depends on the temperature and the oxygen and acetic acid concentrations. The decline in activity is best described by a rate law of second order relative to the activity number. This behaviour is attributed to the observed aggregation of finely dispersed palladium. It can be concluded that palladium(II) acetate acts as a transport species in a chemically assisted sintering mechanism. At temperatures T ≤ 438 K the more advantageous final texture of the catalyst will only be formed on reaction.

    Notes: A continuous production process has been developed up to pilot scale (300 l) for FDH production with the methylotrophic yeast Candida boidinii. A high cell mass specific FDH activity (50 U/g) is achieved by process computer controlled supply of pure methanol to operate the reactor at an optimum methanol concentration of 10 g/l. The maximum FDH spacetime yield achievable with this process control involves a residence time of 7 h. The FDH space-time yield (STY) and FDH concentration are a function of the oxygen transfer rate (OTR) of the fermenter (maximum STY = 255 U/(l h) at kLa = 870 l/h). For a reasonable compromise between high FDH space-time yield and high FDH concentration, an optimum residence time is adjustable by regulating the supply of nutrient salt solution in relation to the OTR of the fermenter. On a pilot scale (200 l continuously stirred tank reactor) roughly 4 million U of FDH were produced within 10 days at a residence time of 14.3 h. Isolation of intracellular FDH enzyme was performed using extraction with an aqueous two-phase system (PEG/K2HPO4). A technical product quality of 1.2 U/mg FDH was achieved without any chromatographic purification step.

    Notes: A prototype “autocirculation”-type reactor has been designed and constructed at the N.I.O.C. Research Institute, Tehran and a mathematical model describing the concentration versus time profile subsequently developed. The model encompasses mass transfer considerations and kinetic studies of the regeneration reaction. For this purpose, the rate equation for iron complex oxidation, proposed by Japanese researchers, was modified and a new rate equation presented. This rate equation has been widely used in the above mentioned mathematical model. With this model, the vessel volume for a time-dependent H2S feed has been calculated for a “ZDDP” production unit.

    Notes: In order to illustrate the use of CFD in providing an understanding of mixing processes, three examples, mixing in a pipe, homogenization with a static mixer and flow in a mixing vessel with a Rushton turbine, are discussed and compared with experimental results. Special attention is focussed on the resultant concentration distribution, which is closely linked to turbulent properties. A semi-empirical model is presented for a quantitative prediction of the initial turbulent conditions. Using special numerical techniques a mixing vessel with wall-separated baffles, which represents a problem generally regarded as beyond the capabilities of numerical analysis, can be simulated.

    Notes: In the proposed combined sterilisation and concentration method, the original milk is first sterilised under conditions of continuous flow and after reaching the desired sterilisation temperature the product is concentrated by means of flash evaporation during subsequent cooling. Addition of stabilisers to maintain the thermal stability of the concentrate during sterilisation is not necessary in this process. The method presupposes that cooling with concentration is carried out under sterile conditions. This is technically quite feasible on use of multistage flash evaporation.

    Notes: Shock tube pyrolysis of propane at temperatures between 1300 K and 2700 K at reflected shock pressures of 500 to 1500 kN/m2 has been investigated. The reaction is of 1st order with a rate constant K = 1.79 × 108 exp (-176.2 kJ/RT) s-1. The major reaction products were acetylene, ethylene and methane, while traces of propylene and ethane were only detected at temperatures below 1500 K. At higher temperatures, propane conversion to acetylene increased at the expense of the other products. Optimum conversions to ethylene and methane, in contrast to that to acetylene, were more sensitive to changes in temperature than to variations in reaction time. However, at reaction pressures above 550 kN/m2, extension of reaction time beyond 0.5 ms did not favour the formation of acetylene. A simple kinetic model which confirmed the experimental optimum product selectivity conditions is put forward.

    Notes: This contribution presents a chemical reactor model of a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) which takes into account adsorption effects and provides a description of the vertical profiles of gas concentration in the riser. The oxidation of NO is used as an example of a heterogeneous catalytic reaction. Mass transfer between the gas phase and solid particles in the CFB was investigated at various temperatures and solids mass flow rates. The measurements show that the mass transfer coefficient decreases with increasing solids mass flux and that the CFB resembles a bubbling fluidized bed as regards gas-solid contacting.

    Notes: The effect of the truncation errors resulting from the numerical integration on the accuracy of the calculation results in the DV-Xα method is analyzed and it is shown that evaluating the overlap integrals analytically or adopting orthogonalized basis sets can reduce the errors on the density matrices to the second order. An approach to improve the calculation accuracy of the total energy is proposed based on the error analysis. The calculation results for several molecules are presented to demonstrate the conclusion. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The geometries of the reactant, product, and transition state of the reaction between acetylene and the hydrogen atom have been optimized at the level of HF/6-31G using the energy gradient method. The barrier height for this reaction was calculated to be 105.9 kJ/mol with a zero-point energy correction and elimination of spin contamination. The intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) for this reaction was traced and the coupling between the IRC and normal modes was analyzed along the IRC. The variational transition-state theory with the correction of the tunnel effect has been used to evaluate the reaction rate constant. It is in good agreement with an experimental estimate. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The recently introduced second-order similarity index gAB was generalized by using the geminal and/or spingeminal expansion of pair densities that they are derived from. The comparison with previous related studies confirms that the generalization does increase the information content of new indices, especially in providing the information about the difference in the spin recoupling of pure singlet and triplet states of electron pairs. Analogously, as in previous studies, the approach was applied to the analysis of several selected pericyclic reactions and possible mechanistic implications arising from the increased information content are briefly discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The concept of internal connectivity associates to each eigenvector of the molecular graph a graph with signed edges. We show that the respective edge signs can be deduced without knowing the graph eigenvectors. The dependence of the edge signs on molecular structure is elucidated. The sign of an edge whose end vertices are νr and νs is found to be the result of separate interactions through all paths connecting the vertices νr and νs. The analysis of the edge signs is particularly simple in the case of acyclic systems. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: As the representative point on an electronic energy surface moves along any closed level curve, the corresponding electronic eigenvectors behave as does the normal to a Moebius strip when its foot is moved around the strip. This introduces a topology into the space of eigenvectors that is not envisaged in the definition of Hilbert space, but is fundamental to molecular quantum mechanics. Salient properties of these “non-Hilbertian” vector spaces are established. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Based on the EHMO approach, an approximate treatment of electronic energy-band structures is suggested. By employing this treatment, computations of the band structures for the Al-doped superconductors YBa2Cu3-xAlxO7 + δ were carried out. It is shown by analysis of the band structures and the density of states that the 2D Cu-O planes in the Y—Ba-Cu—O superconducting system play a dominant role in superconductivity, whereas the 1D Cu—O ribbons have indirectly an influence on superconductivity through the connection of the O(4) atoms to two Cu—O planes. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An isodesmic energy analysis has been carried out at the MP2/6-31G*//HF/3-21G level for the nonplanar ground state (1) of 1,3,5,7-cyclooctateraene and for two planar forms, one having complete π delocalization (2) and the other having alternating single and double bonds (3). 1 is found to have a considerable degree of stabilization, which is attributed to limited π delocalization. The polyene 3 is the more stable of the two planar forms; it is a transition state in the inversion between two possible nonplanar structures. 2 is found to be a triplet at the Hartree-Fock level and is a critical point on an alternate pathway between the two possible arrangements of alternating single and double bonds in 3. Both 2 and 3 have negative isodesmic energies, indicating the presence of stabilizing factors. Our results for 3 show that an “antiaromatic” system need not necessarily show a net destabilization. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ab initio configuration interaction (CI) calculations have been performed for the O2 + H2 complex in a trapezoidlike collision arrangement with C2v symmetry. The potential energy surfaces of the four lowest states of this van der Waals complex (arising from the X3 Σg-, a1 Δg, and b1 Σg+ states of the oxygen moiety), as well as the collision-induced b1 Σg+ - a1 Δg electric dipole transition moment (Mb-a), have been analyzed for different CI expansions, using as a reference determinant the restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock (ROHF) function for the ground state of the complex H2(X1 Σg+) + O2(X3 Σg-). The geometry optimized at the ROHF/6-311G** level was refined by a partial optimization at the CI level scanning the intermolecular distance. The equilibrium distances for the X, a, and b states have been found to be a slightly different in the region 3.02-2.98 Å. The larger binding energy of the b1 Σg+ state (2.96 kJ/mol) in comparison with the a1 Δg (2.1 kJ/mol) and ground X3 Σg- states (1.35 kJ/mol) presumably could be explained as resulting from charge-transfer interactions. A good convergence of the calculated transition moment Mb-a for the larger CI expansions (approximately 50,000 configuration-state functions) has been obtained. The calculated collision-induced intensity of the b1 Σg+-a1 Δg and a1 Δg-X3 Σg- transitions in molecular oxygen are in reasonable agreement with recent experimental data for several foreign gases. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We present a systematic comparison of the correlation contribution at the level of the second-order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA) and MP2 to the static dipole polarizability of (1) Be, BeH-, BH, CH+, MgH-, AIH, SiH+, and GeH+; (2) BH3, CH4, NH3, H2O, HF, BF, and F2; and (3) N2, CO, CN-, HCN, C2H2, and HCHO. Fairly extended basis sets were used in the calculations. We find that the agreement with experimental values is improved in SOPPA and MP.2 over the results at the SCF level. The signs and magnitudes of the correlation contribution in SOPPA are similar to those obtained in analytical derivative MP2 calculations. However, it is not possible to say, in general, which method gives the largest correlation contribution or the best agreement with experiment, nor is it possible to make a priori prediction of the sign of the correlation contribution. For the first group of molecules, which have a quasi-degenerate ground state, additional CCDPPA and CCSDPPA calculations were performed and compared with polarizabilities obtained as analytical/numerical derivatives of the CCD and CCSD energies. The CCSDPPA results were found to be in better agreement with other calculations than were the SOPPA results, demonstrating the necessity of using methods based on infinite-order perturbation theory for these systems. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Single-reference coupled-cluster methods corresponding to various approximate forms of the cluster operator including up to four-electron operators are applied to the simple H4 model system with the aim of numerically studying the attainability and properties of multiple solutions of the systems of nonlinear equations for the cluster amplitudes. Various solutions have been obtained for the excited states 21 A1 and 51 A1. It is documented that there exist nonphysical nonstandard solutions that yield energies very close to the physical ones. A simple way of selecting the physically meaningful solutions is proposed. It is demonstrated that the attainability of nonstandard solutions describing a state of H4 within the framework of a given SE-CC method strongly depends on the cluster structure of that state. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We apply the HH-GLF method, a new simple hyperspherical harmonic method proposed recently by one of us, to directly solve the three-body Schrödinger equation for e+e-e+. Uniformally convergent energy eigenvalues are obtained with only several GLF and the obtained ground-state energy with 200 HH and 6 GLF is -0.26124 au, which is very near the exact value of -0.26200 au. Energy results for maximum global momentum Km ≤ 20 are compared with those from some other hyperspherical techniques carefully, and we find that, in the example of e+e-e+, the HH-GLF method can yield results as accurate as the best available other HH method, but is conceptually simpler and more convenient for practical calculations with a large number of hyperspherical harmonics. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A diatomic charge density distribution function may be partitioned into free atom and delocalization components. Integrating the electrostatic force on one of the nuclei as the atoms join to bond yields a repulsive atom superposition energy Er(R) and an attractive delocalization energy Ed(R) which, when added, equal the Born-Oppenheimer potential energy, E(R). Bond stretch force constants may be calculated to quite good accuracy from the Poisson equation ▽R2E(R) = 4πZbpa(r = R), where Zb is the charge of nucleus b at a distance of R from nucleus a and pa is the charge-density distribution function of isolated atom a. This equation follows if the delocalization density component is rigid during molecular vibrations and Ed = c/R, where c is a constant. Ed(R) is well approximated by the change in orbital energy, δEMO(R), for the bond-forming reaction a + b → a - b as obtained from a modified extended Hückel procedure. The resulting E() = Er(R) + δEMO(R) generalizes immediately to polyatomic molecules and solids and can be used for the calculation of structures and other properties and their molecular orbital interpretation. The current understanding of the atom superposition and electron delocalization molecular orbital (ASED-MO) theory is presented in this article. It is pointed out that a parallel exists with the density functional theory, wherein the Born-Oppenheimer potential function may be constructed from energy points E(R) that are functionals of the molecular charge density distribution function. Calculations of molecular structures with density functional theory has also become possible only through the introduction of electron orbitals. However, the approaches are otherwise different, for density functional theory works with the total energy of the molecule and the ASED approach works with the molecular binding energy obtained by integrating the electrostatic force on a nucleus, which is zero for the isolated atoms. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A formulation for calculating frequency-dependent hyperpolarizabilities in the coupled-cluster (CC) theory with the Brueckner orbitals is presented. Our quasi-energy derivative (QED) method is applied, and explicit expressions for response properties up to third order [μ, α(-ω1;ω1), β(-ωσ;ω1, ω2)] are derived. The position of the resonances is determined from the RPA-like equation. It is found that the pole structures are not compatible with ones of the exact response functions. An extension of the coupled Brillouin-Brueckner CEPA-0 by Kutzelnigg to the time-dependent case is also discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ab initio Hartree-Fock, Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), and quadratic configuration interaction, using single and double substitutions (QCISD), calculations were carried out for the NF3+ ion. Optimized structures were examined at the various levels of theory. Calculation of the inversion barrier height shows the importance of optimizing the geometry at the post-Hartree-Fock level and the inclusion of polarization functions. The best calculated inversion barrier was 13.3 kcal/mol, compared to an experimental value of 17.3 kcal/mol. The dissociation transition state was computed to determine the well depth of the NF3+ ion and its stability toward dissociation. The computed well depth was 28 and 48 kcal/mol at the SCF and MP2 levels, respectively. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An application of symplectic implicit Runge-Kutta (RK) integration schemes, the s-stage Gauss-Legendre Runge-Kutta (GLRK) methods of order 2s, for the numerical solution of molecular dynamics (MD) equation is described. The two-stage fourth-order GLRK method, the implicit midpoint rule, and the three-stage diagonally implicit RK method of order four are studied. The fixed-point iteraction was used for solving the resulting nonlinear system of equations. The algorithms were applied to a complex system of N particles interacting through a Lennard-Jones potential. The proposed symplectic methods for MD integration permit a wide range of time steps, are highly accurate and stable, and are thus suitable for the MD integration. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The relative stability of the four tautomeric forms of α-hydroxytetronic acid was calculated with full geometry optimization at the STO-3G, 3-21G, 6-31G*, and 6-31G** SCF levels. Correlation effects were estimated using the MP2 method. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds are found to be of primary importance for the relative stability of the various tautomers, and the same tautomer that in the case of L-ascorbic acid is experimentally observed in the crystal as well as in solution is found to be the most stable one, if polarization functions on the hydrogen atoms are taken into account. It is concluded that even in the gas phase this tautomer predominates in α-hydroxytetronic acid as well as in L-ascorbic acid. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A method for finding the chemical potential for an electronic system with density ρ = Σρi represented within the Kohn-Sham approximation is proposed. To find the chemical potential of the system under consideration, we propose to refer to the definition μ = δE/δρ and to apply the mathematical properties of functional derivatives. Particularly, in the case examined, the result μ = μ(r) ≠ const has been obtained, which may be explained in the framework of the calculus of variation. Taking the limit limr→∞ μ(r) as the best approximation to the proper equilibrium chemical potential of a free atom, one obtains μ = -I, where I denotes first ionization energy. A possibility of further applications of the proposed method in relation to crystalline systems is also discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The molecules of M2Se and M2I+ (M = Ag, Au) are used as test models to study the quality of the pseudopotential methodology when using the Hartree-Fock and second-order Møller-Plesset methods. We have used two implementations of the Wadt and Hay pseudopotentials: the new large- and small-core pseudopotentials (known as LANL 1DZ and LANL2DZ in GAUSSIAN-92) and the traditional one used for a long time. It is found that the optimum geometry depends on the type of pseudopotential selected. A comparison with the results computed when all the electrons are taken explicitly into account shows that the new LANL1DZ and LANL2DZ give the right answer. Using these potentials, the geometry and potential energy surface of the M2Se and M2I+ systems is explored and its optimum geometry found. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Full configuration interaction (FCI) calculations are reported for the closed-shell cyclic polyenes CNHN (N = 6, 10, 14, 18) in the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) approximation, as a function of the hopping parameter β. A wide range of values of β is considered, from a highly correlated situation, β = 0, to a very weakly correlated limit, β = -10 eV. An estimate of the role of higher than two-body connected cluster components was done, through a partial (i.e., limited to two-body terms in the exponent) cluster analysis performed on the FCI wave function. The comparison with the approximate coupled pair theory that accounts for quadruply excited clusters [see P. Piecuch and J. Paldus, Theor. Chim. Acta 78, 65 (1990)] shows a good agreement in the whole range of the hopping parameter, particularly when the contribution of connected triples excitations is also taken into account. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We studied the possibility of defining a one-electron effective Hamiltonian in the form of a Hückel-type matrix, taking into account the effect of the environment of the atoms in different molecules (the E2HT). It is found that the appropriate basis set in which this Hamiltonian is defined can be determined by using diatomic fragments. Concerning the matrix elements themselves, the appropriate information can be taken in fragments with a size similar to that of ethane. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We presnet a theoretical study of the effect of the conjugation length on the electronic properties and second-order molecular polarizabilities β in p-amino-p′-nitrodiphenylacetylene molecules where the number of triple bonds in the conjugated segment varies from 1 to 4. The β values are calculated via an intermediate neglect of differential overlap/single configuration interaction (INDO/SCI) sum-over-states (SOS) approach. We test the convergence of the SOS method and the validity of the two-state model to describe the β response. The results indicate that increasing the conjugation length results in a decrease of the charge transfer within the molecule. The two-state model is shown to break down as the conjugated segment extends to four triple bonds; this is due to the appearance of several low-lying nearly isoenergetic excited states that significantly contribute to the β response. The theoretical results are in excellent agreement with recent experimental data. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Based on the generalized relationship for calculating the nuclear spin-spin coupling constants and the correlation of the bond stretching frequencies with the coupling constants, a novel generalized reationship, which includes the contributions of not only the hybrid orbitals, but also the net atomic charges, is introduced for calculation of the bond stretching frequencies and employed to elucidate the C—H stretching frequencies in hydrocarbons and heterosubstituted hydrocarbons on the basis of the MBOHO calculation employing the CNDO/2 approximation. By use of the obtained concrete realtionships, one can get different νCH value for the C—H bonds existing in different chemical environments, which is coincident with chemical intuition. The calculated numerical results show that for hydrocarbons the contribution of the net atomic charges can be neglected, but it is necessary for heterosubstituted hydrocarbons to include the contribution of the net atomic charges to the C—H stretching frequencies. The calculated C—H stretching frequencies are in good ageement with the experimental data, which shows its reasonableness. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ab initio self-consistent field (SCF) calculations are performed with the standard 6-31G* basis set for all-trans conjugated oligomers C2n+2H2n+4. The canonical occupied and virtual molecular orbitals (MOs) are separately localized by unitary transformations. Due to the localization, the perturbation operator is partitioned into two-particle and into single-particle terms; the MBPT is, therefore, a double-perturbation expansion in this case. By using the localized representation of the MBPT, the correlation energy contributions can be partitioned into local and nonlocal effects. It can be shown that the local effects are very important and well transferable, which makes possible the calculation of the correlation energy of larger molecules if the localized molecular orbitals (occupied and virtual) of smaller related molecules are known. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An iso-energy cutoff scheme is introduced for the calculation of the potential of mean force between two ions in water. The cutoff criterion is based on the optimal interaction of the water dipole with the ion pair, for which analytical expressions are derived. Formulas are also derived to characterize the solvent reorganization contribution to the potential of mean force. Treatment of the contributions from waters outside the cutoff is also discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Within the framework of the AMO-EHF approximation for the Hubbard model, it is shown that the band gap ΔE of an arbitrary regular alternant 1D π-system (polymer), having a singlet ground state, is different from zero, i.e., the ground state is a dielectric one. At least one of the three components of the energy gap - the topological, Δtop; the geometrical, Δgeom; or the correlation, Δcorr (combined via the equation ΔE = {Δcorr2 + (Δtop + Δgeom))2}1/2 - is different from zero.

    Notes: Enantioselective hydrogenation of α-ketoesters with cinchona-modified platinum catalysts has been studied theoretically in order to rationalize the interaction between the chiral modifier and the substrate. The structure of the probable transition complex has been calculated for the system methyl pyruvate (substrate)-cinchonidine (modifier) using quantum chemistry techniques at both ab initio and semiempirical levels and molecular mechanics. The calculations indicate that crucial interaction occurs via hydrogen bonding of the quinuclidine nitrogen and the oxygen of the α-carbonyl moiety of methyl pyruvate and confirm earlier experimental evidence that the quinuclidine nitrogen of the cinchonidine is involved in the interaction leading to enantiodifferentiation. The resulting complex, which resembles to a half-hydrogenated state of the substrate, is shown to be a possible transition state for the enantioselective hydrogenation of α-ketoesters. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Coupled-cluster (CC) methods at the level of CCSD, CCSD+T(CCSD), CCSD(T), CCSDT-1, and CCSDT-3 are applied to calculations of the dipole moment and polarizability of the CN molecule, ionization potentials and electron affinities of the oxygen and iron atoms and CN molecule, and the energy splitting of the 5D and 5F states of the iron atom. Both UHF and ROHF references are applied. Extended basis sets are used in some comparison of CC data to experiment. All calculated atomic and molecular properties are known as challenging problems, suitable for a careful analysis of the performance of sophisticated versions of the CC approach. Attention is paid to energy terms distinguishing CCSD(T) from CCSD+T(CCSD). We exploit results from various iterative and noniterative high-level CC methods in the assessment of error bars in calculations of atomic and molecular properties. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The dynamical behavior of simple nonrigid molecules still attracts much interest both from experimentalists and theoreticians. On the one hand, modern laser-spectroscopic techniques like SEP allow for the detection of highly excited vibrational-rotational states of a molecule, and advanced theoretical methods, on the other hand, are more and more able to calculate accurate potential energy surfaces and to simulate the intramolecular dynamics. The aim of the present article was to contribute to the understanding of the dynamical properties of simple floppy molecules by means of a comparative study of the two triatomics HCN and HO2. Continuing our earlier work, we start from an analysis of the potential energy surface topography, then we investigate the classical dynamical behavior and the localization of the quantum states. Several conclusions of probably more general validity are drawn. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The elongation method, a theoretical tool to synthesize the electronic states of polymers, is applied within the framework of the density functional approach and using a linear combination of Gaussian-type orbitals. In this treatment, the wave function of a cluster is localized and the interaction with an attacking monomer is self-consistently calculated according to the Kohn-Sham equation. The reliability and the applicability of our treatment are examined by the application to a random hydrogen molecule cluster, comparing the results with those obtained by the usual diagonalization method for the whole system. The results show that this treatment efficiently provides the electronic states of the end part of aperiodic polymers. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A method of description of a crystalline solid is presented and discussed in the light of the variational method. The proposed method refers to the muffin-tin cellular method but it is formulated in the language of electron density, without referring to wave-function treatment. Model calculations of p-dependent binding energy for alkaline metals have been performed. The results show that the proper adjustment of the effective charge of atomic core zeff parametrizing the electron density in the cell allows one to reproduce exact values of binding energy at the equilibrium distance. The numerical results prove that the dependence between the charge zeff and the radius of the cell RMT may be represented by the functión zeff = (21)1/2(1 + B exp(-ARMT)), where A and B are numerical parameters changing with high regularity throughout the period and I denotes the first ionization energy. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The periodic ab initio Hartree-Fock linear combination of atomic orbitals program CRYSTAL has been used to investigate the electronic structure of the wurtzite-type phase of SiC. Binding energy, lattice parameters (a,c), and the internal cordinate have been optimized. Inclusion of polarization functions, which has been shown to be necessary in the description of related systems, has been used to compute the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative and the central zone A1 transverse optical phonon frequency. The electronic structure of SiC is analyzed using density of states projections and electron density maps. Results are compared with those obtained for the cubic zinc blende-type phase. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Geometry optimizations on molecular clusters of the five-membered heterocyclic molecules pyrrole, furane, thiophene, and selenophene were carefully carried out. It is shown that the value of the band gap cannot be related to the bond alternation in the aromatic compounds. However, a correlation of the gap value with the ionization potential of the heteroatom in the ring is found and can be explained by the different stabilizations of the LUMO energy of the heterocycle with respect to the butadiene backbone. The energy band structure including also corrections for the electron correlation effects is reported. The newly developed variational method for the calculation of static polarizabilities of polymers is reviewed and applications to cyclopropene and heteroaromatic derivatives are reported. Finally, a possible approach to treat dynamical polarizabilities of polymers based on perturbation theory is briefly outlined. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The many-electron system in one and two dimensions are studied within the geminal approach. The analytical expressions for the wave functions and ground-state energies are obtained for a number of 1-D and 2-D systems: conjugated polymers, organic conductors, 2-D conductors with square lattices, and others. It is shown that electron excitations of a kink type can exist in 2-D systems with mixed valency. In this case, the correlation pairing of current carriers arises as a result of correlation effects leading to superconducting properties of the system. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The convergence properties of the expansions of (a) the function 1/r and (b) the function exp(-αr) in an even-tempered basis of Gaussians are studied analytically. The starting points are the Gaussian integral representations of 1/r and exp(-αr). One arrives at an expansion in a finite number of Gaussians in three steps: (1) a restriction of the integration domain, (2) a variable transformation, and (3) discretization of the integral. The cutoff error goes in both cases essentially as exp(-ah), and the discretization error, as exp(-b/h). The minimum overall error is reached for the β-parameter of an even-tempered basis β ∽ exp(c/√n), where n is the dimension of the basis, and the error itself decreases as ∊ ∽ exp(-d√n). Different optimum basis parameters are obtained depending on which quantity one wants to minimize, e.g., the error of the energy expectation value, the distance in Hilbert space, the variance of the energy, or the density at the nucleus. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Quantum Chemistry can today boast the fact that ordinary chemists - by means of personal computers and programs available - can study many theoretical properties of molecules by solving the Schrödinger equation and get an advance idea of how to properly arrange their experiments to find new features. For small molecules, they can use ab initio programs of the Hartree-Fock type, and for large molecules, they can use semiempirical programs available. To achieve higher accuracy and to include electron correlation properly, however, one has in the ab initio approach to use configurational interaction methods and giant computers, whereas in the semiempirical methods, the effect of correlating is often taken into account in the adjustable parameters forming the basis for this approach. In connection with the ab initio methods, it is further emphasized that the resolvent methods combined with the partitioning technique provide an excellent conceptual and mathematical framework for getting solutions of any accuracy desired, but that most of the programming of this approach remains to be done. Ordinary wave mechanics is valid at absolute zero of temperature, and - in order to include such important chemical concepts as temperature, entropy, free energy, etc. - one has to go over to general quantum theory and the Liouvillian formalism. One can stil start from the Coulombic Hamiltonian, but it becomes of importance to include the nuclear motion properly and preferably on the same level as that of the electronic motion. It is further emphasized that the irreversibility problem is not yet fully solved, that the theory of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic fields still needs some improvements, and that the question of the proper introduction of relativistic corrections in the quantum theoretical treatment of molecular systems involving heavier atoms still has a great deal to desire. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Electronic rearrangement is a common occurrence in interactions of an atom with other atoms or with solid surfaces and in molecular photodissociation by visible and UV light. In this contribution, the emphasis is on the way properties change over time, as a system progresses from its initial to its final state in a collision. An overview is presented of our recent work describing electronic rearrangement in terms of coupled differential equations for electronic orbitals and nuclear degrees of freedom. An eikonal/(time-dependent Hartree-Fock) approximation is described and a new compact formulation is given in terms of operators in Liouville space, for both small and extended molecular systems. A method is described for treating the coupling of degrees of freedom with very different time scales. The method is illustrated with selected results for temporal atomic population changes in ion-atom and ion-solid surface interactions. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The availability of recent supercomputers and massively parallel computing facilities makes possible the calculation of the electronic structure of highly extended (mesoscopic) molecular networks. Disorder, which is practically always present in these systems, causes an extreme complexity of the wave function that typically shows multifractal behavior in the intermediate length scale. Multifractal analysis, however, is possible only on systems that cover several orders of length scales. Though such calculation can be carried out on model systems, it is beyond the bounds of present ab initio or semiempirical treatments. In this contribution, a shape-analysis method of the wave function is given that is applicable both for localized and multifractal one-particle states even in moderately large networks without a regular geometrical structure. No boxing of the distributions is necessary through several orders of magnitude of scaling distances. Multifractal behavior and different regularly decaying localization shape functions can be distinguished. Finite-size multifractal distributions are also discussed. The described method is intended to serve as an easily applicable and efficient tool for bridging over the gap between the wave-function analysis of systems containing macroscopic and moderately large number of particles. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The vibrational Stark effect together with nuclear relaxation and vibrational contributions to the static molecular electric properties of the N2O molecule are computed using ab initio molecular orbital thoery. Contributions to the molecular properties are computed by finite-difference techniques involving the energy vs. the uniform electric-field strength. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Some alternative methodologies for the construction of reliable charge density models, involving distributed multipole schemes, potential fitted atomic charges, and a recent approach proposed by Ferenczy, are compared and analyzed critically. Ferenczy's method, which combines the distributed multipole description and the classical least-squares fit, allows one to get an insight into the well-known shortcomings of standard potential- or field-derived atomic charge models. It is now demonstrated that the conformational dependence of fitted point charges is not exclusively due to through-space inductive effects, but that it can be partly rationalized by the reorientation of the atomic multipoles. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The generator coordinate approximation (GCA) for the calculation of spectra of diatomics is briefly reviewed. Results of this method applied to a series of curve crossings are presented. In all cases, the generator coordinate method performs significantly better than does the adiabatic approximation. When the energy gap becomes smaller, the GCA results improve. In the crossing limit, the GCA becomes exact. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
