In this article, the Coulombic behavior at the collapsed diatomic limit for vanishingly small interatomic separations, R→∞, has been investigated for 13 chemically stable diatomics and the Ar2 van der Waals molecule.
Abstract
The extended Hartree–Fock approximate correlation energy potential model recently reported for diatomics has been improved to account for the Coulombic behaviour at the collapsed diatomic limit for vanishingly small interatomic separations, R→ 0. Also discussed is how to impose the appropriate inverse exponential dependence on R into the extended Hartree–Fock energy contribution as R→∞. Test results are presented for the ground states of 13 chemically stable diatomics and the Ar2 van der Waals molecule. For Ar2, the potential-energy function is obtained from a multiproperty fit including spectroscopic, scattering, and second virial coefficient data. For the remaining diatomics, the calibration procedure uses only spectroscopic Rydberg–Klein–Rees (RKR) data. The new Ar2 potential is then used to calculate the thermophysical properties of gaseous argon over the temperature range 102⩽T/K⩽ 105. In all cases, the potential-energy function of the present work has been found to be very accurate.

Equations of state valid continuously from zero to extreme pressures for h2o and co2

TL;DR: In this article, a new form of equation of state is proposed for use over extremely wide ranges of pressure where conventional equations fail, where fluids including H2O and CO2 remain more compressible at very high densities than can be represented by typical equations with van der Waals or Carnahan and Starling repulsive terms.

Energy switching approach to potential surfaces: An accurate single‐valued function for the water molecule

TL;DR: In this article, a novel scheme is suggested to construct a global potential energy surface by switching between representations which are optimal for different energy regimes, which is illustrated for the electronic ground state of water for which we use as switched functions the manybody expansion potential of Murrell and Carter [J Chem Phys 88, 4887 (1984) and the polynomial form of Polyansky, Jensen, and Tennyson, [J Phys 101, 7651 (1994)] by also modifying the former to reproduce the Coulombic behavior at the collapsed molecular limits for vanishingly small interatomic

Bonding Conundrums in the C2 Molecule: A Valence Bond Study.

TL;DR: The ab initio VB study for the electronic structure of the C2 molecule in the ground state shows that a triply bonded structure is the major one in terms of weights, and the lowest in energy at the equilibrium distance, and with the corresponding "in situ" bond strengths are estimated.

Intermolecular forces in simple systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-empirical method for the prediction of intermolecular forces was proposed for systems with a small number of electrons and leads to the conclusion that those systems behave as the internal atomic correlation energy was almost independent from the interatomic distance.
