Abstract:

To analyze the vertical resonance energy(VRE) of C12H6, the localized fragment molecular orbital(LFMO) and the natural bond orbital(NBO) basic sets are constructed. Then, the NBO and Morokuma′s SCF energetic analysis are performed over each of them. The VRE, obtained from the NBO electronic analysis, is always unstable. But the VRE, obtained from Morokuma′s SCF energy partition, depends on the basis set. In addition, the singly diagonalized process for the Fock matrix in the NBO energetic analysis ignores the electronic coupling between σ and π systems. In a word, the NBO basic set and its energetic analysis seems to be unreasonable as far as the calculation of VRE is concerned.

Key words: Natural bond orbital(NBO); Localized fragment molecular orbital(LFMO); Singly diagonalization; Morokuma′s SCF; Vertical resonance energy
