Analysis of ETS-NOCV results

saeed_E · 2024-02-18 14:23:49

Dear Tian,

The NOCV pairs contribution, associated with orbitals interaction between two interacting fragments, could nicely be portrayed using the EST-NOCV analysis. In this sense, various contributions are depicted with corresponding NOCV pair energy and eigenvalue. In most cases, we need to visualize a pair interaction to distinguish which orbitals interaction is involved. For instance, the largest contribution in an intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction corresponds to the electron density shift from the lone pair of electron donor toward the sigma anti bonding of the electron acceptor, lp-->sigma*. But, there are some cases in which interpretation becomes so difficult and one cannot easily characterize which orbital pairs are involved. Indeed, through visualization of an ETS-NOCV pair, it may be not clear that a given ETS-NOCV pair is associated with a lp-->pi* or a pi--->pi* and so on. Please let me know what solution you recommend in such cases.

Sincerely,
Saeed

Without figures of a practical system I can hardly answer this question

Dear Tian,
Your kind attention is appreciated,
Attached are the results and two figures for NOCV pairs 1 and 2 (with largest contribution). Please note that the structure is a TS associated with 1,3-DC reaction between CH2=NH-O (simplest nitrone) and CH2=C(Me)2. Please let me know which fragment orbitals are involved in the ESTNOCV 1 and 2.

Sincerely,
Saeed

I cannot view you figures. Please use "Add image to post" button to upload images.

saeed_E · 2024-02-19 13:22:54

While I tried several times using the way you mentioned, no images could be uploaded. The figures were "tag" and changed them to "png" and "jpg" but any tries were unsuccessful!
While the uploading process is completed 100%, at the end, I receive the message indicating no image can successfully uploaded!

Dear Tian,
I could finally attach these files as screenshot. Please accept my apology for successive messages. As you can see, the figures were respectfully attached. I want to know which fragment orbitals are actually involved in NOCV pairs 1 and 2 whose delta_RHO isosurfaces (resulting from fragment orbitals interactions) are presented.

Sincerely,
Saeed

NOCV orbitals are obtained as eigenvectors of delta-P matrix (see Section 3.26 of Multiwfn manual for underlying theory), there is no directly relationship between NOCVs and fragment orbitals.

The only way of deriving the relationship between the two kinds of orbitals is using subfunction 6 of main function 200 of Multiwfn, see Section 3.200.6 of Multiwfn manual for detail. This function is able to calculate contribution of an orbital to another orbital.

Dear Tian,
Thank you very very much for the valuable time you kindly assigned to answer my questions.
Please let me state that, this afternoon, I sent to you an email including an ETS-NOCV analysis and, most importantly, corresponding interpretation. I would be highly grateful if you so kindly have a look at this document and let me know your determining comments so that I can deeply understand the concepts of ETS-NOCV. It seems provided explanations to be correct and I found reasonable solution based on the chemical concepts but, as always, I extremely need your very valuable confirmation to avoid any misunderstanding and wrong usage in manuscript.
Please let me say that this document would not take your valuable time by more than five minutes.

Sincerely yours,
Saeed
