Spin-orbit coupling has been introduced into our newly developed ligand field density functional theory (LFDFT), using the zero-order regular approximation as implemented into the Amsterdam density functional (ADF) code. Application of the formalism to a series of NiX₄²⁻ (X=F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻) compounds shows the increasing importance of intra-ligand spin-orbit coupling across the F,...

In the present work, the ZORA spin–orbit Hamiltonian, in conjunction with the gauge including orbital (GIAO) method based on DFT theory has been used to calculate ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shift of ¹⁹⁵PtClxBr6–x²⁻ complexes. Excellent agreement with experiments has been obtained for calculations bearing on optimized geometries and all electrons triple zeta +...

We present a practical scheme for the evaluation of nonstandard two-electron integrals including the factors rk₁₂exp(−γr²₁₂) which have been appeared recently, where k>=-1 is an integer. The method used throughout this paper is based on the highly efficient Head-Gordon and Pople (HGP) approach of evaluation of electron repulsion integrals (ERI). Thus only straightforward...

An algorithm for the generation of adaptive radial grids used in density functional theory or quantum chemical calculations is described. Our approach is general and can be applied for the integration over Slater or Gaussian type functions with only minor modifications. The relative error of the integration is fully controlled by the algorithm within a specified range of exponential parameters...

Ligand field effects in lanthanide ions compounds have consequences for optical and magnetic spectroscopy. In the analysis of electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of Gd³⁺ complexes, a major role is played by the zero field splitting (ZFS), which is a high order consequence of the ligand field and the spin–orbit coupling. We present a general parameterized method and a computer program for...

Ligand field splitting energies of lanthanides Ln³⁺ (Ln = from Ce to Yb) in octahedral environment are calculated using the Hohenberg–Kohn theorems based orbital-free embedding formalism. The lanthanide cation is described at orbital level whereas its environment is represented by means of an additional term in the Kohn–Sham-like one-electron equations expressed as an explicit functional...

The new DFT based ligand field (LF) model is proposed to calculate the g- and A-tensors of [Co(acacen)] that is known to be a difficult case. The results obtained are compared with the ZORA approach implemented in ADF as well as with the experimental values. The calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data and demonstrate the ability of the method to reproduce the large...

We study the structural and electronic properties of tantalum compounds, i.e. TaC and TaN, by means of accurate first principle total energy calculations using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbitals (FP-LAPW + lo) method. The calculations are based on density functional theory and we use the local density approximation (LDA) as well as the generalized gradient...

A theoretical study of the structural, electronic and optical properties of KMgF₃ is presented using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method (FP-LAPW). In this approach, the local density approximation was used for the exchange-correlation potentials. First, we present the main features of the structural and electronic properties of this compound, where the electronic band...

Alle eukaryontischen Zellen benötigen für die Sekretion ein funktionierendes endomembranes System. Proteine, die sekretiert werden besitzen ein Signalpeptid und werden am Endoplasmatischen Retikulum (ER) synthetisiert. Das Signalpeptid initiiert den Transport in den Lumen des ER und wird danach enzymatisch vom Protein abgetrennt. Korrekt gefaltete Proteine werden in Vesikel gepackt, die sich...
