Extensive ab initio calculations have been performed using the 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis sets for several possible structures of water clusters (H2O)n, n = 8−20. It is found that most stable geometries arise from a fusion tetrameric or pentameric rings. As result, 8, 12, 16, 20, are to be cuboids, while (H2O)10 (H2O)15 fused structures. For other (n 9, 11, 13, 14, 17−19) under investigation, can thought as arising either cuboid pentamers combination thereof. The stability some...

Existence of strict local maxima within the molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) maps has been rigorously ruled out. The proof to this effect is based solely on classical Poisson equation. It further shown that at least one-directional negative-valued minimum in MESP for a negative ion must occur along any arbitrary direction. Under some special circumstances, an equipotential surface could exist such species. These results properly reduce their atomic counterparts proven by Politzer and...
The theorem proposed by Pathak and Gadre [J. Chem. Phys. 93, 1770 (1990)], that the electrostatic potential (ESP) of negative ions must exhibit a directional valued minimum along any arbitrary direction has been verified for some small molecular ions, viz., OH−, CN−, N−3, NO−3, NH−2. Also, as predicted [Proc. Ind. Acad. Sci. (Chem. Sci.) 102, 18 (1989)], ESP (MESP) maps are found to be devoid local maxima. As consequence, these reveal rich topographical details in form several saddle points...

Abstract The development of a linear‐scaling method, viz. “molecular tailoring approach” with an emphasis on accurate computation one‐electron properties large molecules is reported. This method based fragmenting the reference macromolecule into number small, overlapping similar size. density matrix (DM) parent molecule synthesized from individual fragment DMs, computed separately at Hartree–Fock (HF) level, and used for property evaluation. In effect, this reduces O( N 3 ) scaling order...
