Limiting behavior of partition functions of models with quadratically dependent energy spectra and consequences regarding theoretical study of chemical reactivity

Abstract: The conventional partition functions of models with quadratically dependent energy spectra ( e . g . , translation in a box or free internal rotation), which are widely used in literature, exhibit an incorrect limit behavior in the region of low temperatures and/or small values of the characterizing molecular parameter. In particular, this leads to the absurd value -2 for the contribution of these motions to the entropy term at these limit conditions. This incorrect behavior appears to be due to the replacemen… Show more
