Solving these equations yields the atomic orbital combination coefficients for each atom in the conjugated π molecular orbitals. c ik .
[0027] The Hückel molecular orbital (HMO) method is a semi-empirical quantum chemical calculation method that uses the principle of linear variational methods to solve for approximate solutions of the delocalized π orbital wavefunctions of conjugated molecules. This method assumes that π electrons move within a framework formed by the nucleus and σ bonds, approximately separating the σ and π bonds. The σ bond framework of the conjugated molecule remains unchanged, and the properties of the molecule are determined by the π electron states. The motion state of the i-th π electron is described by a function, and its Schrödinger equation is: Equation (7); In equation (7), The Hamiltonian operator represents the k-th π electron, which is the operator form corresponding to energy; Let E represent the wave function, where E is the value of the π electron in...

It is the reciprocal of the normalization coefficient of the wave function.
[0030] Based on the linear variational method, the combination coefficients are obtained by integrating the energy-average value. The first derivative equals 0, yielding the secular equations: Equation (10); In equation (10), H uv Let the Coulomb integral (when u=v) represent the average energy of the electron in the i-th orbit; or let the exchange integral (when u≠v) represent the interaction energy between different orbits; E is the energy eigenvalue, c i S represents the atomic orbital combination coefficients (i=1-n). uv For the overlap integral, u / v = 1 - n.
[0031] The HMO method further assumes that the α integral of each carbon atom is the same, the β integral of each adjacent carbon atom is also the same, and the β integral and overlap integral S of non-adjacent atoms are both 0. Taking butadiene as an example, the simplified secular equations are: Equation (11); In equation (11), , For the first k indivual π The energy of the molecular orbital. The α integral / β integral is a known value. E k The energy of the molecular orbitals after combination (unknown) is determined by solving the above system of equations. x Then, substitute x Worth getting the corresponding E k .

Furthermore, the present invention preferably uses the contour plotting function of Excel software to draw a pseudo-3D projection map of the π orbitals of conjugated molecules based on the value of the projection function corresponding to the coordinates of each cell. The basic principle of using Excel software to draw molecular orbital projection contour maps is as follows: each cell in Excel is regarded as an evenly divided grid point on the drawing plane, and the value of the point corresponding to each cell is calculated by editing the Excel formula, that is, the value calculated by formula (2). π The value of the projection of the molecular orbital onto the drawing plane at that cell position, and then according to...

Taking a grid interval of 0.02 Å, the coordinates of the point in the two-dimensional plane corresponding to the cell in the ROW() row and COLUMN() column are ( x , z ') can be expressed as (-2.22+0.02 COLUMN(), 1.08-0.02 Substituting into the projection function (2), any... y = y μ Contour map of projection functions on a plane.
[0039] To avoid occlusion between atomic orbitals, a selection must be made when drawing the projection diagram. π Molecular orbital thresholding. The choice of threshold directly affects the image rendering effect. If the selected threshold is too large, the drawn image will... π Molecular orbital images are small and cannot accurately reflect the spatial distribution characteristics of orbitals; if the selected threshold is too small, then... y μ Smaller atomic orbitals will affect y μLarger orbital images have excessive occlusion. When plotting using Excel, the IF() function can be used to skip points on each plane where the wavefunction value is less than a threshold. Here, the threshold is preferably 0.1~0.2, more preferably 0.15. Combining the syntax rules of the IF() function (IF(condition, output if condition is met, output if condition is not met)), ... Absolute value of ABS ( Cells with a value less than 0.15 are assigned a value of 0; otherwise, they are assigned a value of 0. The actual calculated value is displayed. The IF function expression is: Equation (12).
[0040] Before plotting the pseudo-3D projection of the π orbitals of conjugated molecules, this invention preferably sets the colors. As a specific embodiment of this invention, the color setting method is as follows: the cell with the smallest wavefunction value (-1.6900) is set to blue (RGB values 0, 0, 255), and the cell with the largest wavefunction value (1.6900) is set to red (RGB values 255, 0, 0), with a color step size of 0.0325. From -1.6900 to 0.0000, the B value of RGB remains constant at 255. For each step increase, R and G are each increased by 5. When the wavefunction value range is -0.0325 to 0.0000, the RGB values are 255, 255, 255, i.e., white. From 1.6900 to 0.0000, the R value of RGB remains constant at 255. For each step decrease, the G and B values are each increased by 5. When the wavefunction value ranges from 0.0000 to 0.0325, the RGB value is 255, 255, 255, which is white. This color setting method allows for the generation of a projection image of the π molecular orbital and avoids points in the image that do not conform to the projection range.
