Examples in Context
- The binding energies, ionization potential, electron affinity, the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level, and the energy gaps of them have been calculated.
- The populations of the Mulliken charge, the highest occupied molecular orbital ( HOMO ) energy, and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital ( LUMO ) energy were showed that the active centers were mainly focused around oxygen, nitrogen atoms, and the heterocyclic.
- The gap between the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital can be used as an indicator of the potential photoinduced toxicity of anthraquinones to Daphnia magna.
- It is found that the energy gap between HOMO ( Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital(HOMO) ) and LUMO ( Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital ) becomes narrower with the increase of the electric filed.
- All five highest occupied molecular orbital ( HOMO ) orbital have pi-orbital character with the exception of HOMO-1, which has mainly contribution of Pz orbital of Se atom and has non-bond orbital character.
