== Exercise 1 : Computation of state correlation Diagrams for a 3 centers / 4 electrons system ==
 +
In this exercise the <math>\textrm{S}_{\textrm{N}}2</math> reaction Cl<math>{}^{-}</math> + CH<math>{}_3</math>Cl -> ClCH<math>{}_3</math> + Cl<math>{}^{-}</math> will be studied in both vacuum and solution. Valence Bond State Correlation Diagrams (VBSCD) will be constructed at <math>\pi</math>-D-BOVB level. There are two parts in this exercise: basic part and optional part. The basic part is performed with MCP-DZP basis set in which the inner orbitals in Cl and C are described with MCP pseudo potential. The optional part is performed with 6-31+G* basis set, using the general specification for the xmvb input (expert users). Only reactant and transition state will be computed in this exercise, which is sufficient to build the VBSCD diagrams. <br>

!'''Note:How to perform a VBPCM calculation'''
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
A VBPCM calculation is performed in the similar way as the VB calculations in vacuum. One should prepare a GAMESS input file with solvent assigned such as:<br><br>
 +
<center><big>$PCM SOLVNT=WATER $END</big></center><br>
 +
The details of PCM calculation in the GAMESS can be found in GAMESS manual. Keyword "VBTYP=XMVB" in CONTRL section is also essential. After the GAMESS input file is prepared, an XMI file with keyword "VBPCM" should be prepared with the same file name as GAMESS input file. In the current XMVB package, VBSCF/PCM and BOVB/PCM calculations are both supported.

==== 1. Compute the Energies and Wavefunctions at Reactant and Transition State with Different Sets of VB Structures====
  
 +
We advise you to create the first xmvb input file (''.xmi'' file) for this study starting from a ''.xmi'' file taken from tutorial1 as a template. Alternatively, you may copy the input file corresponding for the first calculation of this study (L-VBSCF on reactant state geometry in vacuum) from the ''answer'' folder of this exercise (''cp answer/rs_vac_vbscf.xmi .''), run directly the first calculation, inspect input/outputs, and then use this ''.xmi'' file as a template for the following calculations.

In this part, calculations with BFI section are performed, which is a technique for the experienced users. The 6-31+G* basis set is used. The inner orbitals are frozen as HF orbitals in all VB calculations and the valence basis functions are reorganized to hybrid basis functions so that the <math>\sigma</math>, <math>\pi_x</math> and <math>\pi_y</math> spaces can be separated well. A D-BOVB calculation is performed in 2 steps:
 +
# Perform a VBSCF calculation with <math>\pi</math> orbitals delocalized in the whole system and <math>\sigma</math> orbitals localized on the Cl and CH<math>{}_3</math> groups;
 +
# Perform a BOVB calculation with VBSCF orbitals as initial guess.
 +
The VB calculations are the same as the calculations performed above. Try to understand the BFI section, perform the calculations and compare the differences of barrier heights, resonance energies and cpu performances with and without $BFI.

!'''Answer'''
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
a - Considering the R and R* states for the radical exchange process, the HL wave functions for R and R* are the following :<br>
 +
<math>\psi (R)=(|xa\overline{y}|-|x\overline{a}y|)(1/2)^{-1/2} </math><br>
 +
<math>\psi (R^{*})=(|x\overline{a}y|-|\overline{x}ay|)(1/2)^{-1/2}</math><br>
 +
At the equilibrium distance of R, A and Y are close together while X is far away. Therefore R is stabilized by a covalent bond and its energy is <big><math> 2 \beta S </math></big>. In R*, the AY entity has two parallel spins 50% of the time (a repulsive situation), and alternated spins 50% of the time (a non-bonding situation). Therefore the energy of R* is half a triplet repulsion, i.e. <big><math> - \beta S </math></big>. As <big><math>\Delta E_{ST} (A-Y)= 4  \beta S </math></big>, the final G expression is:<br>
 +
<big><math>G=0.75 \Delta E_{ST} (A-Y)</math></big><br>
 +
 
 +
b - Let us express the various energies and matrix elements in terms of the usual <big><math> \beta </math></big> and  <big><math> S </math></big> integrals between the X and H orbitals:
 +
 
 +
<big><math> E_{ind} = \beta S </math></big>
 +
 
 +
<big><math> S_{12} = 0.5 </math></big>
 +
 
 +
<big><math> H_{12} = 2 \beta S </math></big>
 +
 
 +
<big><math> RE = (2 \beta S - 0.5 \beta S )/1.5 = \beta S </math></big>
 +
 
 +
Since at the transition state geometry <big> <math>\Delta E_{ST} </math>'</big> = <big><math> 4 \beta S </math></big>, we have:
 +
 
 +
<big> <math>B = 0.25\Delta E_{ST} </math>'</big>
 +
 
 +
c - Since <big> <math>\Delta E_{ST} </math>' <math> = 2  BDE </math></big>, we may re-express the avoided crossing term as:
  
c/ Use semiempirical VB theory to show why the reaction: <math> X^{\bullet} + H-X \rightarrow X-H + ^{\bullet}X</math> has a barrier for <big><math>X= CH_{3}</math>, <math>SiH_{3}</math>, <math>GeH_{3}</math>, <math>SnH_{3}</math>, <math>PbH_{3}</math>, <math>H</math></big>, while the <big><math>Li_{3}</math></big> species in the process <math> Li^{\bullet} + Li-Li \rightarrow Li-Li + ^{\bullet}Li</math>  is a stable intermediate.

First construct a VBSCD with the usual parameters <math>\Delta E_{ST}, f, G, B</math>.

|}
Where <math>\Delta E_{ST}</math> is the singlet-triplet transition energy of the X-H bond at the geometry of the transition state. For convenience, define the energy of a Lewis bond, for example, H-X (or X-X), relative to the nonbonded quasiclassical reference determinant, as follows:<br>
 
<big><math>E_{S}(H-X)=-\lambda_{S}</math><small> and </small> <math>D(H-X)=\lambda_{S}</math></big> where <big><math>\lambda_{S}</math></big> is used as a shorthand notation for <math>2\beta S/(1+S^2)</math>.
 
Similarly, denote the energy of the triplet pair <math>H \uparrow \uparrow X</math> (or of <math>X \uparrow \uparrow X</math>) by: <math>E_{T}(H \uparrow \uparrow X)=\lambda_{T}</math>, where <big><math>\lambda_{T}</math></big> is the corresponding <math>-2\beta S/(1-S^2)</math> terms for the triplet repulsion. While <big><math>\lambda_{S}</math></big> and <big><math>\lambda_{T}</math></big> are defined at the equilibrium distance of the H-X (or X-X) bond, analogous parameters <big><math>\lambda'_{S}</math></big> and <big><math>\lambda'_{T}</math></big> are defined for the stretched H-X (or X-X) bond corresponding to the geometry of the transition state. Based on these notations derive the following relations and quantities:<br>
 
- Express <math>\Delta E_{ST}</math> and <big><math>G</math></big> as functions of <big><math>\lambda_{S}</math></big> and <big><math>\lambda_{T}</math></big>.<br>
 
- Express the avoided crossing interaction <big><math>B</math></big> as a function of <big><math>\lambda'_{S}</math></big> and <big><math>\lambda'_{T}</math></big>.<br>
 
- Express the energy of the crossing point (relative to the reference quasiclassical determinant) as a function of <big><math>\lambda'_{S}</math></big> and <big><math>\lambda'_{T}</math></big>.<br>
 
- To enable yourself to derive a simple expression for the barrier, assume that <big><math>\lambda'_{S}=\lambda'_{T}</math></big>. Then express <math>\Delta E_{C}</math>, the height of the crossing point relative to the reactants, and derive an expression for <math>f</math>, as a function of <math>\alpha</math>, defined as follows: <math>\alpha=\lambda_{S}/\lambda_{T}</math>.<br>
 
- Derive an expression for the barrier <math>\Delta E^{\neq}</math>, as a function of <math>\Delta E_{ST}</math> and <math>\alpha</math>. Knowing that <math>\lambda_{T}</math> is generally larger than <math>\lambda_{S}</math> for strong binders, such as X-H (<math>X= CH_{3}</math>, <math>SiH_{3}</math>, <math>GeH_{3}</math>, <math>SnH_{3}</math>, <math>PbH_{3}</math>, <math>H</math>) while the opposite is true for weak binders, such as alkali atoms, show that the reaction <math>X^{\bullet} + H-X \rightarrow X-H + ^{\bullet}X</math> has a barrier while the <big><math>Li_{3}</math></big> species is a stable intermediate in the process <math> Li^{\bullet} + Li-Li \rightarrow Li-Li + ^{\bullet}Li</math>.

1 - Using the thumb rules

<big><math> <D|H|D>= -2 \sum_{i<j}^{ } \beta_{ij} S_{ij} </math>(if orbitals i and j have parallel spins)  </big>

It comes,<br>

 +
2 - If <math>\theta </math> > 60° ,<big> <math>\beta_{ac}S_{ac} < \beta_{ab}S_{ab}=\beta_{bc}S_{bc} </math></big> Hence <big><math><R|H|P> > 0 </math></big> (<math>\beta_{ij} < 0</math>) <br>
 +
 
 +
Finally, ground state is out of phase and the excited state is in phase.

 +
It comes:<br>

:<big><math> \Psi^{\neq} = R-P</math></big><br>
 +
:<big><math> \Psi^{\star} = R+P</math></big><br>
 +

Expanding on the determinants

:<big><math> \Psi^{\neq} = 1/\sqrt{2} (|ab\overline{c}|+|\overline{a}bc|-2|a\overline{b}c|)</math></big><br>

<math> \Psi^{\star} </math>, wave function of the excited state represent a bonding between hydrogens a and c.<br>

3- Using geometric considerations
 +
* If <math>\theta </math> = 180° ,<big> <math>\beta_{ac}S_{ac}=0</math></big> and <big><math> <R|H|P>=-(\beta_{ab}S_{ab} +\beta_{bc}S_{bc})</math> </big><br>

* If <math>\theta </math> = 60° ,<big> <math>\beta_{ac}S_{ac}=\beta_{ab}S_{ab}=\beta_{bc}S_{bc}=\beta S</math></big> and <big><math> <R|H|P>=0</math></big> <br>
 +
 
 +
4- If <math>\theta </math> = 60°, <big><math> <R|H|P>=0 = <R|H|R>= <P|H|P></math></big> <br>
 +
Hence R and P are degenerated eigenfunction of the CI Hamiltonian :  <math>E_R=E_P=0</math><br>
 +
Their linear combination <math> \Psi^{\neq}  </math> and  <math>\Psi^{\star} </math> are also degenerated, with the same value.
 +
 
 +
5- Allyl radical <math>\pi</math> system is isoelectronic to the <math>H_3</math> radical case. 
 +
R corresponds to the covalent right coupling (radical on the left carbone atom). P to the covalent right coupling.
 +
* <math> \Psi^{\neq}  </math> corresponds to the resonance (mesomery) between these 2 bonding schemes.
 +
* <math>\Psi^{\star} </math> to the "through space" (a,c) electronic coupling ("long bond", the radical is centered on the middle atom).
 +
 
 +
The geometrical distortion to make the two states degenerated in allyl radical would be a rotation of the two CH2 end groups: by such a rotation, the resonance structures are destabilized (pi bonds break), and the a-c coupling is re-inforced (sigma bond forms).
 +
 
 +
The end product obtained  from the first excited state of allyl radical is a cyclopropyl radical (formation of the a-c bond).

Valence Bond State correlation diagrams

Exercise 1 : Computation of state correlation Diagrams for a 3 centers / 4 electrons system

In this exercise the <math>\textrm{S}_{\textrm{N}}2</math> reaction Cl<math>{}^{-}</math> + CH<math>{}_3</math>Cl -> ClCH<math>{}_3</math> + Cl<math>{}^{-}</math> will be studied in both vacuum and solution. Valence Bond State Correlation Diagrams (VBSCD) will be constructed at <math>\pi</math>-D-BOVB level. There are two parts in this exercise: basic part and optional part. The basic part is performed with MCP-DZP basis set in which the inner orbitals in Cl and C are described with MCP pseudo potential. The optional part is performed with 6-31+G* basis set, using the general specification for the xmvb input (expert users). Only reactant and transition state will be computed in this exercise, which is sufficient to build the VBSCD diagrams.
