Electron Correlation: Nature's Weird and Wonderful Chemical Glue

Jan M. L. Martin

Summary: This article discusses the importance of electron correlation in chemistry, proposes a classification of correlation effects, and explores how DFT can shed light on wavefunction theory. Additionally, it introduces two types of honorary valence orbitals and the significance of atomization energies.

Tightening the Screws: The Importance of Tight d Functions in Coupled-Cluster Calculations up to the CCSDT(Q) Level

Amir Karton

Summary: The tight d functions have a significant chemical contribution to the total atomization energies in high-level coupled-cluster calculations, particularly at the CCSD and (T) levels. The study of 45 second-row species demonstrates the important influence of tight d functions on the 3d orbitals and total atomization energies of second-row atoms. Additionally, a simple natural bond orbital population analysis of the 3d orbitals provides a useful predictor for the impact of tight d functions on the post-CCSD(T) contribution to the total atomization energies.

Correlation Consistent Basis Sets and Core Polarization Potentials for Al-Ar with ccECP Pseudopotentials

Adam N. Hill et al.

Summary: New correlation consistent basis sets have been developed for second-row atoms to be used with neon-core correlation consistent effective core potentials (ccECPs). Sets with additional diffuse functions and adjusted effective core polarization potentials (CPPs) have been analyzed. The accuracy of the basis sets and CPPs is assessed through benchmark calculations, showing improved agreement with all-electron results.

Hypervalence: A Useful Concept or One That Should Be Gracefully Retired?

Nicholas C. Norman et al.

Summary: This essay discusses the origins and applications of the term "hypervalence" in p-block element chemistry and argues that it no longer holds any educational value. On the other hand, the educational merits of the octet rule are examined and found to be significant, particularly in introductory level explanations. Various orbital-based analyses and computational studies are also considered in relation to selected exemplar compounds.
