The quantum theory of atoms in molecules, QTAIM, is employed to identify AIM and quantify their interactions through the partitioning of molecule into atomic basins in the real space and it is confined only to the purely electronic systems…
The multi-component quantum theory of atoms in molecules (MC-QTAIM) analysis is done on methane, ethylene, acetylene and benzene as selected basic hydrocarbons. This is the first report on applying the MC-QTAIM analysis on polyatomic…
The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) is based on the clamped nucleus paradigm and solely working with the electronic wavefunctions, so does not include nuclear vibrations in the AIM analysis. On the other hand, the recently…
In this contribution, pursuing our research program extending the atoms in molecules analysis into unorthodox domains, another key ingredient of the two-component quantum theory of atoms in molecules (TC-QTAIM) namely, the theory of…
The Structural theory of chemistry introduces chemical/molecular structure as a combination of relative arrangement and bonding patterns of atoms in molecule. Nowadays, the structure of atoms in molecules is derived from the topological…
Based on thermodynamic integration we introduce atoms in molecules (AIM) using the orbital-free framework of alchemical perturbation density functional theory (APDFT). Within APDFT, atomic energies and electron densities in molecules are…
It is customary to conceive the interactions of all the constituents of a molecular system, i.e. electrons and nuclei, as Coulombic. However, in a more detailed analysis one may always find small but non-negligible non-Coulombic…
The previously applied independent atom model (IAM) for highly charged ion-molecule collisions which implemented the suppression of multiple ionization and capture on the basis of geometric overlaps of cross-sectional areas representing…
This report is a primarily survey on the chemical nature of some exotic species containing the positively charged muon and the muonic Helium, i.e., the negatively charged muon plus helium nucleus, as exotic isotopes of hydrogen, using the…
The independent atom model - pixel counting method (IAM-PCM) for the description of ion-molecule collisions is reviewed. The method was introduced (in 2016) to improve on the simple additivity rule according to which scattering cross…
In a series of papers in the last ten years, various aspects of the mathematical foundations of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules have been considered by this author and his coworkers in some details. Although these considerations…
The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) gives access to well-defined local atomic energies. Due to their locality, these energies are potentially interesting in fitting atomistic machine learning models as they inform about…
Chemical bonding is a nonlocal phenomenon that binds atoms into molecules. Its ubiquitous presence in chemistry, however, stands in stark contrast to its ambiguous definition and the lack of a universal perspective for its understanding. In…
We introduce and discuss a hybrid quantum-mechanics molecular-mechanics (QM-MM) approach for Car-Parrinello DFT simulations with pseudopotentials and planewaves basis, designed for the treatment of periodic systems. In this implementation…
We apply a number of atomic decomposition schemes across the standard QM7 dataset -- a small model set of organic molecules at equilibrium geometry -- to inspect the possible emergence of trends among contributions to atomization energies…
Fundamental understanding of interatomic forces in molecules must emerge from quantum mechanics, yet widely used empirical force fields rely on simplified mechanistic approximations that often fail to capture the complexity of many-body…
Modern quantum chemistry can make quantitative predictions on an immense array of chemical systems. However, the interpretation of those predictions is often complicated by the complex wave function expansions used. Here we show that an…
The zero-mass (ZM) parton formalism is widely used in high-energy physics because of its simplicity and historical importance, even while massive quarks (c,b,t) are playing an increasingly prominent role in particle phenomenology, including…
In a recent study it was suggested that the positively charged muon is capable of forming its own "atoms in molecule"s (AIM) in the muonic hydrogen-like molecules, composed of two electrons, a muon and one of the hydrogen isotopes, thus…
Numerous molecular systems, including solutions, proteins, and composite materials, can be modeled using mixed-resolution representations, of which the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach has become the most widely used.…
