Basis-set dependence of theoretical deformation density in NO2

Abstract: Electron-density distribution of a nitrite ion was calculated by the ab initio molecular-orbital method using STO-3G, STO-6G, MIDI4 and MIDI4* basis sets. The N-O bonding peak, which was observed in the experimental deformation density of LiNO2.H20, could be reproduced only by using the MIDI4* basis set. This indicates the importance of polarization functions in the study of charge distribution.

“…The Co--N coordination bond may be weakened by depopulation of the HOMO of the nitrite ion (see the scheme below). A driving force of the linkage isomerization seems to be the electrostatic attraction between the Co and O atoms, because the negative charge of NO2 is located almost totally on the O atoms (Kikkawa, Ohba, Saito, Kamata & Iwata, 1987;Okuda, Ohba, Saito, Ito & Shibuya, 1990).…”

“…A theoretical deformation density for the formate ion has been described previously (Kikkawa, Ohba, Saito, Kamata & Iwata, 1987). For the acetate ion, a similar calculation was carried out by an ab initio SCF method, using a MIDI4* basis set with the program system MOL YX (Nanbu, Nakata & Iwata, 1989) and on VAX 11/750 and NEWS-830 computers.…”

“…The electrostatic attraction between the Co and O atoms was proposed as driving force of the linkage isomerization due to the fact that the O atoms are rich in electrons than N in NO 2 ligand. 91,92 Fig. 8 shows the ELF Table 6 N/H-N and O/H-N NBO second-order perturbation energies E(2) (in kcal mol À1 ) and electron density (r) at the bcp and its Laplacian (V 2 r) in parenthesis computed at uB97XD/6-31+G isosurfaces of nitro and nitrito complexes and their cut planes.…”
