Week 14: (Due date Wed, Apr 23)
Use Avisto and MOPAC for Problems 26.15 and 26.36. In the textbook, these problems request you to perform HF calculations. For your homework, you will use the approximated HF method existed in the MOPAC program. This will allow you to complete the calculations faster at the cost of the accuracy. The objective is for you to get a feeling for how computational chemistry is used to address 'REAL' chemical problems. When one needs more accurate results, he/she can use more accurate theoretical models such as HF, MPn, CI, DFT methods for it. Such calculations would take hours to days on larger computers.
Week 13: (Due date Friday, Arp 23)
Part A: Use Huckel theory to solve for the pi orbitals and their energies for butadiene and cyclobutadiene. Sketch these orbitals.
Part B: Use Avisto and MOPAC to confirm the orbitals for
1. Butadiene Fig. 24.14 and your homework
2. Cyclobutadien from your homework.
3. Benzene from Fig. 24.15
Remember to use the run type 'Find the nearest local stable structure' for these problems.
