[PMID: 39100324 PMCID: PMC11292638 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c08696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
The present study aims to generate the potential energy curves (PECs) and spectroscopic constants for barium alkaline earth (AE) atoms interacting with rare gas (RG) atoms (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe). The study focuses on investigating the van der Waals bonds that characterize the interactions between alkaline-earth metals and RG atoms, with a specific emphasis on employing the Tang and Toennies (TT) potential model, known to accurately describe such interactions. The TT potential model was employed in conjunction with combining rules to calculate its parameters, which include dispersion coefficients C 2n and Born-Mayer constants A and b. Additionally, we have conducted high-level ab initio calculations at the CCSD(T) level for all Ba-RG ground states. Obtained PECs from both methods have been used to evaluate the spectroscopic properties D e, R e, ωe, B e, and ωeχe. Our findings reveal that the derived spectroscopic constants from the TT model exhibit good agreement with the results obtained from CCSD(T) calculations and with other available theoretical studies. Furthermore, to gain insights into the relative differences among AE-RG species, we calculated the κ parameter for AE-RG and AE+-RG (AE = Sr, Ca, Mg, Ba; RG = He-Xe) complexes. It is found that except for the case of Ba-RG and Ba+-RG, the κ values within the same series, AE-RG and AE+-RG, are remarkably close to each other.

Abstract
The complexes of the Ba atom and Ba+ cation with the rare gas atoms Ar, Kr, and Xe in the states associated with the 6s → 5d, 6p excitations are investigated by means of the multireference configuration interaction techniques. Scalar relativistic potentials are obtained by the complete basis limit extrapolation through the sequence of aug-cc-pwCVnZ basis sets with the cardinal numbers n = Q, T, 5, combined with the suitable effective core potentials and benchmarked against the coupled cluster with singles, doubles, and non-iterative triples calculations and the literature data available for selected electronic states. Spin-orbit coupling is taken into account by means of the state-interacting multireference configuration interaction calculations performed for the Breit-Pauli spin-orbit Hamiltonian. The results show weak spin-orbit coupling between the states belonging to distinct atomic multiplets. General trends in the interaction strength and long-range anisotropy along the rare gas series are discussed. Vibronic spectra of the Ba and Ba+ complexes in the vicinity of the 1S → 1P° and 2S → 2P° atomic transitions and diffusion cross sections of the Ba(1S0, 3DJ) atom in high-temperature rare gases are calculated. Comparison with available experimental data shows that multireference calculations tend to underestimate the interaction strength for excited complexes.

Abstract
A highly accurate, consistent set of ab initio interaction potentials is obtained for the title systems at the coupled cluster with singles, doubles, and non-iterative triples level of theory with extrapolation to the complete basis set limit. These potentials are shown to be more reliable than the previous potentials based on their long-range behavior, equilibrium properties, collision cross sections, and transport properties.

Abstract
It is found that a simple electrostatic model involving competition between the attractive dispersive interaction and induced-dipole repulsion between the two RG atoms performs extremely well in rationalizing the M(+)-RG2 geometries, where M = group 1 metal and RG = rare gas. The Li(+)-RG2 and Na(+)-RG2 complexes have previously been found to exhibit quasilinear or linear minimum-energy geometries, with the Na(+)-RG2 complexes having an additional bent local minimum [A. Andrejeva, A. M. Gardner, J. B. Graneek, R. J. Plowright, W. H. Breckenridge, T. G. Wright, J. Phys. Chem. A, 2013, 117, 13578]. In the present work, the geometries for M = K-Fr are found to be bent. A simple electrostatic model explains these conclusions and is able to account almost quantitatively for the binding energy of the second RG atom, as well as the form of the angular potential, for all 36 titular species. Additionally, results of population analyses are presented together with orbital contour plots; combined with the success of the electrostatic model, the expectation that these complexes are all physically bound is confirmed.

Abstract
Previous work on the HM(+)-He complexes (M = Be-Ra) has been extended to the cases of the heavier rare gas atoms, HM(+)-RG (RG = Ne-Rn). Optimized geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies have been calculated using MP2 theory and quadruple-ζ quality basis sets. Dissociation energies for the loss of the rare gas atom have been calculated at these optimized geometries using coupled cluster with single and double excitations and perturbative triples, CCSD(T)theory, extrapolating interaction energies to the basis set limit. Comparisons are made between the present data and the previously obtained helium results, as well as to those of the bare HM(+) molecules; furthermore, comparisons are made to the related M(+)-RG and M(2+)-RG complexes. Partial atomic charge analyses have also been undertaken, and these used to test a simple charge-induced dipole model. Molecular orbital diagrams are presented together with contour plots of the natural orbitals from the quadratic configuration with single and double excitations (QCISD) density. The conclusion is that the majority of these complexes are physically bound, with very little sharing of electron density; however, for M = Be, and to a lesser extent M = Mg, some evidence for chemical effects is seen in HM(+)-RG complexes involving RG atoms with the higher atomic numbers.

Abstract
We investigate the HM(+)‑He complexes (M = Group 2 metal) using quantum chemistry. Equilibrium geometries are linear for M = Be and Mg, and bent for M = Ca-Ra; the explanation for this lies in the differing nature of the highest occupied molecular orbitals in the two sets of complexes. The difference primarily occurs as a result of the formation of the H-M(+) bond, and so the HM(+) diatomics are also studied as part of the present work. The position of the He atom in the complexes is largely determined by the form of the electron density. HM(+)…He binding energies are obtained and are surprisingly high for a helium complex. The HBe(+)…He value is almost 3000 cm(-1), which is high enough to suspect contributions from chemical bonding. This is explored by examining the natural orbital density and by population analyses.

Abstract
We present accurate interaction potentials for uranium cations interacting with the rare gases (RG = He-Rn), using effective core potentials that include a description of the 5f electrons in the case of uranium, and justify this approximation in some detail. From these interaction potentials, spectroscopic parameters are derived for the U(+)-RG complexes. We also employ the potentials to calculate transport coefficients for U(+) moving through a bath of each RG. In the case of U(+) in He, we are able to compare with previous experimentally determined mobility values, and we make some minor corrections to the previously reported data; this revised data is presented.

Abstract
We propose a new definition of the effective radius of an atomic ion: the bond distance (R(e)) of the ion/He diatomic complex minus the van der Waals radius of the helium atom. Our rationale is that He is the most chemically inert and least polarizable atom, so that its interaction with the outer portions of the electron cloud causes the smallest perturbation of it. We show that such radii, which we denote R(XHe), make good qualitative sense. We also compare our R(XHe) values to more traditional ionic radii from solid crystal X-ray measurements, as well as estimates of such radii from "ionic" gas-phase MF, MOM, MF(+), and MO molecules, where M is a metal atom. Such comparisons lead to interesting conclusions about bonding in ionic crystals and in simple gas-phase oxide and fluoride molecules. The definition is shown to be reasonable for -1, +1, and even for many of the larger +2 atomic ions. Another advantage of the R(XHe) definition is that it is also consistently valid for ground states and excited states of both neutral atoms and atomic ions, even for open-shell np and nd cases where the electron clouds of the ions are not spherically symmetric and R(XHe) thus depends on the "approach" direction of the He atom. Finally, we note that when there is a contribution from covalent bonding with the He atom, and/or in cases where the ion is small and has a very high charge, so that there is distortion even of the He 1s electrons, R(XHe) is not expected to be representative of the size of the ion. We then suggest that in these cases small, and sometimes unphysical, values of R(XHe) are diagnostic of the fact that simple "physical" interactions have been supplemented by a "chemical" component.
