Role of Kinetic Exchange and Coulomb Interaction in Bonding of Hydrogen Molecular Systems and Excited States

We present a detailed investigation of the electronic structure and bonding characteristics of hydrogen-based molecular systems (\ch{H2+}, \ch{H2}, \ch{H2-}) using the Exact Diagonalization Ab Initio (EDABI) approach within the framework of combined first- and second-quantization. By analyzing the relative contributions of kinetic exchange and effective Coulomb interactions, we provide a comprehensive understanding of covalency, atomicity, and ionicity as a function of interatomic distances. Our approach leverages exact solutions of the extended Heitler-London model to quantify these interactions, extending the analysis to the discussion of properties of excited states and the dissociation limit to these molecules. The findings reveal significant differences in bonding characteristics, particularly highlighting the stability and bonding nature of the neutral \ch{H2} molecule compared to its ionic counterparts. This study not only enhances an understanding of molecular interactions in hydrogen systems but also demonstrates the potential of the EDABI approach in developing more accurate computational models in quantum chemistry.

Exact Entanglement correlation complements the chemical bond description

We analyze the properties of the exact solution obtained by us recently for the extended Hetiler-London model for chemical bonding which has an analytic form. The emphasis is put on defining two-particle entanglement correlation as the complementary characterization of the chemical bond and relating it to the partial atomicity and the so-called true covalency. The newly introduced characteristics remove the deficiency of the standard definition of covalency which now vanishes in the limit of the separated atoms. In effect, a gradual evolution of the system of two indistinguishable electrons in a bound state into their distinguishable correspondents can be traced systematically. The present analysis has a universal meaning and may also be applied to more complex systems.

Interparticle correlations and chemical bonding from physical side: Covalency $\textit{versus}$ atomicity and ionicity

In this Chapter we reexamine the concept of $\textit{covalency}$ and $\textit{ionicity}$ on example of the simplest molecules. First, starting from the exact expression for the two-particle wave function in the case of $H_2$ molecule within the Heitler-London model, we demonstrate an unphysical behavior of the covalency at large interatomic distance which, within standard definition, reaches the maximal value in the limit of separated atoms. Second, we correct this deficiency by introducing the concept of $\textit{atomicity}$, with the help of which, we define the $\textit{true}$ (intrinsic) $\textit{covalency}$, as well as retain the precise concept of $\textit{ionicity}$. We connect the introduced atomicity to the onset of Mott-Hubbard localization, adopted here from the well established notion in the condensed matter. The evolution from the molecular to atomic states develops rapidly with interatomic distance beyond the localization threshold. This brief overview is intented as pedagogical in nature, nonetheless is analyzed quantitatively for the case of $H_2$ molecule. At the end, we outline a similar-type of model for the related case of the hydrogen bond on example of adenine-tymine pair. Methodologically, the approach is based on combining the first- (wave mechanics) and second-quantization into a single scheme of formal description.

Degree of atomicity in the chemical bonding: Why to return to the H2 molecule?

We analyze two-particle binding factors for the case of \ch{H2} molecule with the help of our original Exact Diagonalization \textit{Ab Intio} (EDABI) approach. Explicitly, we redefine the many-particle covalency and ionicity factors as a function of interatomic distance. Insufficiency of those basic characteristics is stressed and the concept of \textit{atomicity} is introduced and corresponds to the Mott and Hubbard criteria concerning the localization in many-particle systems. This additional characteristic introduces atomic ingredient into the essentially molecular states and thus eliminates a spurious behavior of the standard covalency factor with the increasing interatomic distance, as well as provides a physical reinterpretation of the chemical bond's nature.

Towards Complementary Characterization of the Chemical Bond

A precise discussion of a single bond requires consideration of two-particle wave function for the particles involved. Here we define and determine rigorously the intrinsic covalency and connected characteristics on the canonical example of \ch{H2} molecule. This is achieved by starting from analytic form for the two--particle wave function for electrons forming the bond, in which we single out the atomic contribution (\textit{atomicity}) in an unequivocal manner. The presence the of atomicity and ionicity factors complements the existing attributes of the bond. In this way, a gradual evolution of the molecular state to its two-atomic correspondant is traced systematically with increasing interatomic distance. In effect, a direct relation to the onset of incipient Mott-Hubbard atomicity (\textit{Mottness}) to the intrinsic covalency and ionicity is established. This goal is achieved by combining the single--particle wave function readjustment with a simultaneous determination of two--particle states in the particle (second--quantization) representation.
