=Configuration interaction (CI) spaces obtained from the full CI space by imposing arbitrary restrictions on the occupancies of molecular orbital (MO) groups are studied. It is proved that such restricted spaces are in a certain sense "closed." Namely, in the course of the Hamiltonian matrix construction the excitations out of the chosen restricted CI space may be easily replaced by the excitations within this space. 0 1996
Abstract. The MCSCF approach with the geometry optimization is applied to the calculation of electronic properties of active site of heme trHbN including (ONOO) functional group and two water molecules. The localized molecular orbitals are employed as a starting set. Two subspaces of full interaction (CAS) have been used by the construction of MCSCF wavefunction, the first one includes 3d-orbitals of iron atom and the second contains bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals (MOs) of peroxynitrite with one unshared electronic pair of the O2 fragment. The geometry of the anionic (ONOO) -structures arising due to the charge transfer from Fe(II) are close to that of nitrate anion and peroxynitrite in gas phase. The peroxynitrite is considered in its turn in two different forms corresponding to singlet and triplet states of this anion in the gas phase. The possible role of peroxynitrite structure is discussed in a connection with the defense reaction of M. tuberculosis.
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.
