Abstract

Results from approximate Hartree-Fock calculations on the molecules H2S and SO2 are reported. The calculations employ two contracted Gaussian functions per atomic orbital. Polarization functions have been added on all atomic centres. 3d functions on sulphur are found to be of importance for the description of the SO bond in SO2, especially through d-π backbonding. A number of molecular properties have been computed. Good agreement with experiment is obtained in all cases, where such data are available. An electron density map for the molecule SO 2 is shown, together with an electron density difference map showing the detailed effect of the 3d functions on the electron distribution.

Zusammenfassung

Für H2S und SO2 werden die Ergebnisse näherungsweiser Hartree-Fock-Rechnungen, die auf kontrahierten Sätzen von Gaußfunktionen und zusätzlichen Polarisierungsfunktionen beruhen, mitgeteilt. Es zeigt sich, daß die 3d-Funktionen für die SO-Bindung in SO2 (d-π-Rückbindung) von Wichtigkeit sind. Eine Reihe molekularer Eigenschaften wurde mit gutem Erfolg — soweit Vergleichsmaterial vorliegt — berechnet und der Einfluß der 3d-Funktionen auf die SO-Bindung mittels Elektronendichte- und -dichtedifferenz-Diagrammen veranschaulicht.
