ORBITALS CALCULATED FROM THE EXACT SOLUTION!
The Hartree-Fock method is based on the Schrödinger equation (ab initio model)
it is a many-body problem (as in astronomy)
• many (different) nuclei in a molecule
• all of the electrons are present in the force field
• the molecular orbitals are calculated based on the LCAO-MO theory
• the equation system cannot be solved exactly, thus numerical approximations...

World of Molecules: Modeling of electron and molecular structure
Hartree-Fock method
Approximations
• Born-Oppenheimer approximation
the protons are heavier then electrons, thus consider the nuclei immobile (for the electron calculations)
• relativistic electron effects are neglected
• the LCAO-MO is using a certain set of atomic orbitals to combine the molecular orbitals
• ther orbitals are calculated using single electrons, thus the electron-electron interaction is missing from the terms
semmelweis-egyetem.hu
World of Molecules: Modeling of electron and molecular structure
Hartree-Fock method
Solution steps of the Hartree-Fock method
1. guess the geometry of the molecule
2. choose the basis set for the atoms (simplified mathematical formula for the description of th behavior of atomic orbitals)
3. first approximation of LCAO-MO coefficients 4. solve Schrödinger’s equation for bonds, electric
charge, molecula energy, ...
5. calculate more exact coefficients for LCAO-MO 6. check convergence, (if insufficient back to 3-4.)

A comparison of calculations with different basis sets applied
World of Molecules: Modeling of electron and molecular structure
• Based on the Schrödinger equation,
• using Hartree-Fock approximations,
• most of the ab initio calculations are substituted by look up tables from empirical (spectroscopic) data
• electron correlation is included in empirical data, so that is taken into account most of the times
• furthermore, the Hückel approximation is valid:
• only valence electrons are taken into account
• only π orbitals and σ orbitals are considered

The local ionization potential displays the energy required for electron removal (“ionization”) at any location around a molecule.
e.g. a surface of “low” local ionization potential for sulfur tetrafluoride (SF
4) shows the areas that are easily ionized, the non-bonding (lone)
electron pair can be identified.
furthermore, a combination: mapping the local ionization potential onto the electron density
surface shows regions from which electrons are most easily removed.
