Calculation of the Proton and Electron Affinity of Simple Ge-Containing Species Using Density Functional Theory

Abstract: Basis sets developed using the generator coordinate method and a pseudopotential have been adapted to density functional theory to calculate the proton affinity of GeH4, GeH3-, GeF3 -, CH3GeH2 -, and Ge(OH)3 - and the electron affinity of ·GeH3 and ·GeF3. The proton affinity of GeH4 is calculated to be 673.9 kJ mol-1 at 298 K, while values for GeH3 - (1505.0 kJ mol-1) and CH3GeH2 - (1529.0 kJ mol-1) are in excellent agreement with experimental values. The electron affinity of ·GeF3 is predicted to be in the ra… Show more

“…Morgon et al [11][12][13] have been developing techniques to tackle such problems. These are centered around the use of effective core potentials (ECP) [14], in which the inner electrons are represented by an effective potential derived from calculations on atoms.…”

“…Dentre estes modelos, cinco merecem destaque: os Complete Basis Set (CBS), 102 os modelos Gaussian (Gn), 103 os modelos Weinzman (Wn), 104 os modelos de correlação com uso de multi-coeficientes (MCCM) 105 e os esquemas propostos por Morgon. 106 Os modelos CBS, propostos por Petersson e colaboradores, utilizam métodos de alto nível de correlação eletrônica, combinados à extrapolação das funções de base. 102 Os modelos Gn, introduzidos por Pople et al, 103 também estimam a energia dos sistemas com alto nível de correlação, porém empregam grandes conjuntos de funções de bases, embasados em cálculos de alto nível para correção da energia de ponto zero.…”

“…Os modelos Wn 104 empregam a extrapolação de funções de base, de forma similar aos modelos CBS, porém diferem dos mesmos quanto aos métodos empregados para cálculo da energia molecular. Por sua vez, os esquemas propostos por Morgon 106 utilizam pseudopotenciais para descrição de orbitais de caroço da estrutura eletrônica. Os MCCMs envolvem mais de um nível de teoria para cálculo da estrutura eletrônica e diferentes conjuntos de funções de bases, em combinação com parâmetros empíricos.…”

“…In the most recent update of gas-phase proton affinities 135 , the recommended value for the PA of germane at 298 K amounts to 713.4 kJ mol −1 . However, this value is probably too high since recent high level calculations 136 placed the proton affinity of GeH 4 at 0 K at 654.4 kJ mol −1 while at 298 K a value 673 kJ mol −1 is predicted by G2 calculations 137 .…”
