are obtained if the metal substitution does not alter the first shell too much.Examination of Table II shows the number of different factors that are important in determining the EPA. The Born estimate of the reaction field interaction is the most significant. The cavity radius increases by about 0.25 Á in going from ZnCA to CdCA. This leads to a relative stabilization of ZnCA in the protonated state while the high-pH complex has roughly constant Bom energy for all the dications. Consequently, the spread in the EPA is reduced by about 7 kcal/mol relative to the SCF cluster values. In one case, the higher moment contributions to the Born energy have a qualitative effect on the relative EPA values. The reaction field stabilization energy of the MnCA high-pH model is smaller than that for the larger CdCA cluster. This is because of the larger M-O-H angle found for Mn (see Table I), giving a more symmetric cluster with smaller dipole and quadrupole moments leading to a smaller reaction field energy.
Transition metal induced ringcluster structures on Si (111) Six structures for the Si 45 cluster are compared using a tight-binding model. Two new structures are proposed which appear to be the low-energy isomers and to explain much of the existing experimental data. Cluster reactivity is distinguished from cluster stability, and several reasons are discussed which may lead to a reactive or unreactive species. These criteria are applied to the Si 45 isomers, and the results are also correlated with experimental data. 8552 J.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
