Role of pooched or hybridized atomic lobe orbitals in bonding of BeH+

Consider the bonding of H to Be+

The simple VB combination of H1s with the 2s orbital of Be+ leads to a very small overlap and contragradience

In fact optimizing the wavefunction for BeH+ leads to pooching of the 2s toward the H1s with much improved overlap and contragradience.

At small R the H can overlap significantly more with sz than with zH, so that we can form a bond pair just like in BeH+. This leads to the wavefunction

Thus the wave function is A{[(sz)(zs)+(zs)(sz)](αβ−βα)(Hα)}

where sz≡(s+λz) and zs ≡(s-λz)

Here the H overlaps slightly more with sz than with zs, but the spin on sz is half the time α

Thus at large R we obtain a slightly repulsive interaction.

Bonding H atom to all 3 states of C

Now we can get a bond to the lobe orbital just as for BeH

Bring H1s along z axis to C and consider all 3 spatial states.

Is the 2Π state actually 2Π?

The presence of the lobe orbitals might seem to complicate the symmetryΨyz=A[(sx)(xs)+(xs)(sx)](αβ−βα)(yα) (zΗ bond)2]

Ψxz=A[(sy)(ys)+(ys)(sy)](αβ−βα)(xα)(zΗ bond)2)]

To see that there is no problem, rewrite in the CI form (and ignore the zH bond)Ψyz=A[(s2 – λ x2)](αβ−βα)(yα)]

Now form a new wavefunction by adding - λ y2 to Ψyz

Φyz ≡ A[s2 – λ x2 – λ y2](αβ−βα)(yα)] But the 3rd term is A[y2](αβ−βα)(yα)]= – λ A[(yα)(yβ)(yα)]=0Thus Φyz = Ψyz and similarly Φxz = A[s2 – λ x2 – λ y2](αβ−βα)(xα)] = Ψxz

Thus the 2s term [s2 – λ x2 – λ y2] is clearly symmetric about the z axis, so that these wavefunctions have 2Π symmetry

Bonding of H to lobe orbital of C, small R

At small R the H can overlap significantly more with sz than with zH, so that we can form a bond pair just like in BeH+. This leads to the wavefunctionA{[(sz)(H)+(H)(sz)](αβ−βα)(zsα)(pxα)(pyα)}

But now the zs hybrid must now get orthogonal to the sz and H bond pair. This destabilizes the bond by ~ 1 eVThe symmetries of the nonbond orbitals are: zs=σ, px=πx, py=πy

Since the nonbond orbitals, σ, πx, πy are orthogonal to each other the high spin is lowest (S=3/2 or quartet state)We saw for NH that (πxπy –πyπx)(αα) has 3Σ- symmetry. CH has one additional high spin nonbond σ orbital, leading to 4Σ-

Analysis of bonding in CH and SiHBond to p orbital is still the best for C and Si but the lobe bond is also quite strong, especially for CHThus hydridization in the atom due to electron correlation leads naturally to the new 4Σ- bonding state.Note that although the (sx)(xs) lobe pair for the atom are at 180º in the atom, they bend to ~104º for CH and SiH

180º

The reason is that as the pH bond is formed, the incoming H orbital overlaps the 2s part of the lobe orbital. To remain orthogonal, the 2s orbital builds in some –z character along with the x character already there. This rotates the lobe orbital away from the incoming H. This destabilizes the lobe pair making it easier for the 2nd H to bond to the lobe pair.

Ψ=A{[(sy)(ys)+(ys)(sy)(αβ−βα)](SiHLbond)2(SiHRbond)2}The wavefunction is

Applying C2z or σ in the plane interchanges (sy) and (ys) but the (sy)(ys) pair is symmetric under this interchange. Thus the total symmetry is 1A1.

25© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

Bonding the 2nd H to the lobe orbital

At large distances the bond to the lobe orbital will be slightly repulsive and at an angle of 128 to the already formed p bond.

However at short distances, we form a strong bond. After forming the bond, each bond pair readjusts to have equivalent character (but an average of lobe bond and p bond).

The wavefunction becomesΨ=A{(SiHLbond)2(SiHRbond)2 [(σℓα)(πxα)]}

σℓπx

Here the two bond pairs and the σℓ orbital have A1 while πx has b1symmetry so that the total spatial symmetry is B1.

This leads to both 3B1 and 1B1 states, but triplet is lower (since σℓand πx are orthogonal).

Analyze Bond angles of CH2 and SiH2θe Re

1A1 state. Optimum bonding, pz orbital points at Hz while

px orbital points at Hx, leading to a bond angle of 90º. We expect that HH repulsion increases this by slightly less thanthe 13.2º for NH2 and 14.5º for OH2 and indeed it increases by 12.4º. But for Si the increase from 90º is only 2º as for P and As.

θe Re3B1 state. Optimum bonding, the two bonds at ~128º.

Here HH orthogonalizationshould increase this a bit but Cmuch less than 12º since H’s are much farther apart. However now the σℓ orbital must get orthogonal to the two bond pairs a bond angle decrease. The lone pair affect dominates for SiH2decreasing the bond angle by 10º to 118º while the HH affect dominates for CH2, increasing the bond angle by 5º to 133º

Analysis of bond energies of 1A1 stateConsider the first two p bonds. Ignoring the affect of the bonds on the lobe orbitals, the main difference arises from the exchange terms. For C or Si A[(2s)2(pzα)(pxα)] leads to a term in the energy of the form (Jxz –Kxz) since the x and z orbitals have the same spin. But upon bonding the first H to pz, the wavefunction becomes A{(2s)2[(pzH+Hpx)(αβ−βα)(pxα)}. Now the pz and px orbitals have the same spin only have the time, so that this exchange term is decreased to - ½ Kxz. However in forming the second bond, there is no additional correction.Since Kxz ~ 14 kcal/mol for C and ~9 kcal/mol for Si. This means that the 2nd bond should be stronger than the first by 7 kcal/mol for C and by 4.5 kcal/mol for Si. E(kcal/mol)1st bond 2nd bond

Analysis of bond energies of 3B1 state

For CH the lobe bond is 17 kcal/mol weaker than the p bond while for SiH it is 37 kcal/mol weaker. Forming the lobe bond requires unpairing the lobe pair which is ~1 eV for the C row and ~1.5 eV for the Si row. This accounts for the main differences suggesting that p bonds and lobe bonds are otherwise similar in energy. Forming a lobe bond to CH or SiH should be easier than to C or Si, because the first p bond has already partially destabilized thelobe pair. Since the SiH2(3B1) state is 19 kcal/mol higher than SiH2(1A1) but SiH(4Σ-) is 35 kcal/mol higher than Si(2Π), we conclude that lobe bond has increased in strength by ~16 kcal/mol Indeed for CH the 3B1 state is 9.3 kcal/mol lower than 1A1implying that the lobe bond has increased in strength relative to the p bond by 26 kcal/mol.

Add 3rd H to form CH3

For CH2 we start with the 3B1 state and add H. Clearly the best place is in the plane, leading to planar CH3, as observed. As this 3rd bond is formed, each bond pair readjusts to a mixture of p and lobe character to become equivalent ~sp2 orbitalsWe could also make a bond to the out-of-plane pπ orbital but this would lead to large HH repulsions. However the possibility of favorable out-of-plane bonding leads to an extremely flat potential curve for CH3. Since the lobe orbital is already unpaired, we get a very strong bond energy of 109 kcal/mol.

Add 3rd H to 1A1 SiH2 to form SiH3.

For SiH2 we start with the 1A1 state and add H to the lobe pair. Clearly this leads to a pyramidal SiH3, with an the optimum bond angle of 111º.Since we must unpair the lobe orbital this 3rd bond is relatively weak, 72 kcal/mol.

35© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

Add 4th H to form CH4 and SiH4.For CH3 we start with the planar molecule and bring the H up to the out of plane p orbital. As the new bond forms all four bondsreadjust to become equivalent leading to a tetrahedral CH4molecule. This bond is 105 kcal/mol, slightly weaker than the 3rd

109 kcal/mol) since it is to a p orbital and must interact with the other H’s.For SiH2 we start with the pyramidal geometry (111º bond angle) and add to the remaining lobe orbital. As the new bond forms, all fourbonds readjust to become equivalent, leading to a tetrahedral SiH4 molecule. No unpairing is required a strong bond, 92 kcal/mol (the 3rd bond was 72)

Re-examine bonding in NH, OH, and FHWhy did we ignore hybridization of the (2s) pair for NH, OH, andFH?

The reason is that the ground state of N atom

A[(2sα)(2sβ)(xα)(yα)(zα)]

Already has occupied px,py,pz orbitals. Thus

Pauli annihilates any hybridization in the 2s orbital.

Re-examine bonding in NH, OH, and FHHowever, the doublet excited state of N can have hybridization, eg

Bonding to halides (AXn, for X=F,Cl,…

Pure covalent bond ~ 80 kcal/mol (based on CH)

Pure ionic bond ~ 78 kcal/mol (ignore Pauli and shielding)

Net bond = 120 kcal/mol is plausible for 2Π state

But why is the bond for the 4Σ- state only 63, same as for covalent bond?

To mix ionic character into the 4Σ− state the electron must be pulled from the sz lobe orbital.

This leads to the (2s)1(2p)2 state of C+ rather than the ground state (2s)2(2p)1 which is 123 kcal/mol = 5.3 eV higher

Thus ionic bond is NEGATIVE (78-123=-45 kcal/mol)

Bonding the 2nd F to CFWith the 4Σ- state at 57 kcal/mol higher than 2Π, we need only consider bonding to 2Π, leading to the 1A1 state.

Now bond 3rd F to form CF3

Get pyramidal CF3(FCF angle ~ 112º)

In sharp contrast to planar CH3

The 3rd CF bond should be much weaker than 1st two.

This strong preference for CF to use p character makes conjugated flourocarbons much less stabe than corresponding saturated compounds.

Thus C4H6 prefers butadiene but C4F6 prefers cylcobutene

Of course the 4th bond to form CF4 leads to a tetrahedral structure

Summary, bonding to form hydrides

General principle: start with ground state of AHn and add H to form the ground state of AHn+1

Thus use 1A1 AH2 for SiH2 and CF2 get pyramidal AH3

Use 3B1 for CH2 get planar AH3.

For less than half filled p shell, the presence of empty p orbitals allows the atom to reduce electron correlation of the (ns) pair by hybridizing into this empty orbital.

This has remarkable consequences on the states of the Be, B, and C columns.

Now combine Carbon fragments to form larger molecules (old chapter 7)

Starting with the ground state of CH3 (planar), we bring two together to form ethane, H3C-CH3.

As they come together to bond, the CH bonds bend back from the CC bond to reduce overlap (Pauli repulsion or steric interactions between the CH bonds on opposite C).

At the same time the 2pp radical orbital on each C mixes with 2s character, pooching it toward the corresponding hybrid orbital on the other C

Staggered vs. Eclipsed

There are two extreme cases for the orientation about the CC axis of the two methyl groups

The salient difference between these is the overlap of the CH bonding orbitals on opposite carbons.

To whatever extent they overlap, SCH-CH Pauli requires that they be orthogonalized, which leads to a repulsion that increases exponentially with decreasing distance RCH-CH.

The result is that the staggered conformation is favored over eclipsed by 3.0 kcal/mol

60© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

Alternative interpretation

The bonding electrons are distributed over the molecule, but it is useful to decompose the wavefunction to obtain the net charge on each atom.

qH ~ +0.15

qC ~ -0.45

This leads to qH ~ +0.15 and qC ~ -0.45.

These charges do NOT indicate the electrostatic energies within the molecule, but rather the electrostatic energy for interacting with an external field.Even so, one could expect that electrostatics would favor staggered.

The counter example is CH3-C=C-CH3, which has a rotational barrier of 0.03 kcal/mol (favoring eclipsed). Here the CH bonds are ~ 3 times that in CH3-CH3 so that electrostatic effects would decrease by only 1/3. However overlap decreases exponentially.

Propane

Replacing an H of ethane with CH3, leads to propane

Keeping both CH3 groups staggered leads to the unique structure

Bond energies, temperature corrections

Experimental measurements of bond energies, say at 298K, require an additional correction from QM or from spectroscopy.The experiments measure the energy changes at constant pressure and hence they measure the enthalpy,H = E + pV (assuming an ideal gas)Thus at 298K, the bond energy isD298(A-B) = H298(A) – H298(B) – H298(A-B)D298 – D0 = 0∫

Bond energies for ethane

D0 = 87.5 kcal/mol

ZPE (CH3) = 18.2 kcal/mol,

ZPE (C2H6) = 43.9 kcal/mol,

De = D0 + 7.5 = 95.0 kcal/mol (this is calculated from QM)

D298 = 87.5 + 2.4 = 89.9 kcal/mol

This is the quantity we will quote in discussing bond breaking processes

69© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

The snap Bond energy

In breaking the CC bond of ethane the geometry changes from CC=1.526A, HCH=107.7º, CH=1.095A

To CC=∞, HCH=120º, CH=1.079A

Thus the net bond energy involves both breaking the CC bond and relaxing the CH3 fragments.

We find it useful to separate the bond energy into

The snap bond energy (only the CC bond changes, all other bonds and angles of the fragments are kept fixed)

The fragment relaxation energy.

This is useful in considering systems with differing substituents.

For CH3 this relation energy is 7.3 kcal/mol so that

De,snap (CH3-CH3) = 95.0 + 2*7.3 = 109.6 kcal/mol

70© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

Substituent effects on Bond energiesThe strength of a CC bond changes from 89.9 to 70 kcal/mol as the various H are replace with methyls.Explanations given include:

•Ligand CC pair-pair repulsions

•Fragment relaxation

•Inductive effects

71© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

Ligand CC pair-pair repulsions:

Each H to Me substitution leads to 2 new CH bonds gauche to the original CC bond, which would weaken the CC bond.

Thus C2H6 has 6 CH-CH interactions lost upon breaking the bond,

But breaking a CC bond of propane loses also two addition CC-CH interactions.

This would lead to linear changes in the bond energies in the table, which is approximately true. However it would suggest that the snap bond energies would decrease, which is not correct.

72© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

Fragment relaxation

Because of the larger size of Me compared to H, there will be larger ligand-ligand interaction energies and hence a bigger relaxation energy in the fragment upon relaxing form tetrahedral to planar geometries.

In this model the snap bond enegies are all the same.

All the differences lie in the relaxation of the fragments.

This is observed to be approximately correct

Inductive effect

A change in the character of the CC bond orbital due to replacement of an H by the Me.

Goddard believes that fragment relaxation is the correct explanation PUT IN ACTUAL RELAXATION ENERGIES

73© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

Bond energies: Compare to CF3-CF3

For CH3-CH3 we found a snap bond energy of

De = 95.0 + 2*7.3 = 109.6 kcal/mol

Because the relaxation of tetrahedral CH3 to planar gains 7.3 kcal/mol

For CF3-CF3, there is no such relaxation since CF3 wants to be pyramidal, FCF~111º

Thus we might estimate that for CF3-CF3 the bond energy would be De = 109.6 kcal/mol, hence D298 ~ 110-5=105

Indeed the experimental value is D298=98.7±2.5 kcal/mol suggesting that the main effect in substituent effects is relaxation (the remaining effects might be induction and steric)

CH2 +CH2 ethene

Starting with two methylene radicals (CH2) in the ground state (3B1) we can form ethene (H2C=CH2) with both a σ bond and a π bond.

The HCH angle in CH2 was 132.3º, but Pauli Repulsion with the new σ bond, decreases this angle to 117.6º (cf with 120ºfor CH3)

Twisted etheneConsider now the case where the plane of one CH2 is rotated by 90º with respect to the other (about the CC axis)This leads only to a σ bond. The nonbonding πl and πr orbitals can be combined into singlet and triplet states

Here the singlet state is referred to as N (for Normal) and the triplet state as T.

Since these orbitals are orthogonal, Hund’s rule suggests that T is lower than N (for 90º). The Klr ~ 0.7 kcal/mol so that the splitting should be ~1.4 kcal/mol.

Voter, Goodgame, and Goddard [Chem. Phys. 98, 7 (1985)] showed that N is below T by 1.2 kcal/mol, due to Intraatomic Exchange (σ,π on same center)

Twisting potential surface for ethene

The twisting potential surface for ethene is shown below. The N state prefers θ=0º to obtain the highest overlap while the T state prefers θ=90º to obtain the lowest overlap

78© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

geometries

For the N state (planar) the CC bond distance is 1.339A, but this increases to 1.47A for the twisted form with just a single σ bond. This compares with 1.526 for the CC bond of ethane.

Probably the main effect is that twisted ethene has very little CH Pauli Repulsion between CH bonds on opposite C, whereas ethane has substantial interactions.

This suggests that the intrinsic CC single bond may be closer to1.47A

For the T state the CC bond for twisted is also 1.47A, but increases to 1.57 for planar due to Orthogonalization of the triple coupled pπ orbitals.

79© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

CC double bond energies

Breaking the double bond of ethene, the HCH bond angle changes from 117.6º to 132.xº, leading to an increase of 2.35 kcal/mol in the energy of each CH2 so that

Desnap = 180.0 + 4.7 = 184.7 kcal/mol

Since the Desnap = 109.6 kcal/mol, for H3C-CH3,

The π bond adds 75.1 kcal/mol to the bonding.

Indeed this is close to the 65kcal/mol rotational barrier.

For the twisted ethylene, the CC bond is De = 180-65=115 Desnap = 115 + 5 =120. This increase of 10 kcal/mol compared to ethane might indicate the effect of CH repulsions

The bond energies for ethene are

De=180.0, D0 = 169.9, D298K = 172.3 kcal/mol

80© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

bond energy of F2C=CF2

The snap bond energy for the double bond of ethene od

Desnap = 180.0 + 4.7 = 184.7 kcal/mol

As an example of how to use this consider the bond energy of F2C=CF2,

Here the 3B1 state is 57 kcal/higher than 1A1 so that the fragment relaxation is 2*57 = 114 kcal/mol, suggesting that the F2C=CF2 bond energy is Dsnap~184-114 = 70 kcal/mol.

The experimental value is D298 ~ 75 kcal/mol, close to the prediction

81© copyright 2011 William A. Goddard III, all rights reservedCh120a-Goddard-L07,08

Bond energies double bondsAlthough the ground state of CH2 is 3B1 by 9.3 kcal/mol, substitution of one or both H with CH3 leads to singlet ground states. Thus the CC bonds of these systems are weakened because of this promotion energy.

CC triple bonds

Starting with two CH radicals in the 4Σ- state we can form ethyne (acetylene) with two π bonds and a σ bond.

This leads to a CC bond length of 1.208A compared to 1.339 for ethene and 1.526 for ethane.

The bond energy is

De = 235.7, D0 = 227.7, D298K = 229.8 kcal/mol

Which can be compared to De of 180.0 for H2C=CH2 and 95.0 for H3C-CH3.

CC triple bonds

Since the first CCσ bond is De=95 kcal/mol and the first CCπbond adds 85 to get a total of 180, one might wonder why the CC triple bond is only 236, just 55 stronger.

The reason is that forming the triple bond requires promoting the CH from 2Π to 4Σ-, which costs 17 kcal each, weakening the bond by 34 kcal/mol. Adding this to the 55 would lead to a total 2nd π bond of 89 kcal/mol comparable to the first

Reconstruction of Si(111) surface

Surface unit cell P(1x1)

Each surface atom has a single dangling bond electron, might guess that there would be some pairing of this with an adjacent atom to form a 2x1 unit cell.

Indeed freshly cleaved Si(111) at low temperature does show 2x1

LEED experiments (Schlier and Farnsworth, 1959) observed 7th Order Spots 7x7 unit

cellFrom 1959 to 1981 many models proposed to fit various experiments or calculations.

Binnig et al., 1981 did first STM image of Si (7x7) and saw 12 bright spots in 7x7 cell, showed that every previous model was incorrect

Takayanagi et al., 1985, proposed the DAS Model that explained the experiments

Origin of complex reconstruction of Si(111)

In 49 surface unit cells have 49 dangling bonds. Since cohesive energy of Si crystal is 108 kcal/mol expect average bond energy must be 108/2 = 54 kcal/mol (each atom has 4 bonds, but double count the bonds)

(H3Si-SiH3 bond energy is 74 kcal/mol)

Thus each dangling bond represents ~ 27 kcal/mol of surface energy = 1.1 eV per surface atom

Calculated value = 1.224 eV snap and 1.200 ev relaxed.
