Data items in this category are as follows:
ATOM_RHO_MULTIPOLE
The bullet • indicates a category key. The arrow
is a reference to a parent data item.
Data items in this category are also looped. The category key ( _atom_rho_multipole_atom_label) is also a child of _atom_site_label in the ATOM_SITE category, thereby linking the electron density multipole coefficients to a specific atom site in the list of atom coordinates. This category contains all the parameters of the Hansen & Coppens (1978) function
where r is a position vector with respect to the atomic nucleus, and
and
are the spherical core and valence electron densities, respectively. They are obtained from atomic orbital analytic wavefunctions such as those tabulated by Clementi & Roetti (1974
). They are also the Fourier transforms of the X-ray scattering factors given in _atom_rho_multipole_scat_core and _atom_rho_multipole_scat_valence.
is the weight applied to the free-atom core (_atom_rho_multipole_coeff_Pc),
is the weight applied to the free-atom valence shell (_atom_rho_multipole_coeff_Pv),
is the number of remaining electrons (_atom_rho_multipole_coeff_P00) and
(the atomic number) for a neutral atom.
is the valence electron expansion factor (_atom_rho_multipole_kappa),
is the radial function (Slater or equivalent) (_atom_rho_multipole_radial_*),
is the multipole function expansion factor (_atom_rho_multipole_kappa_prime[l]),
are the spherical harmonic coefficients (_atom_rho_multiple_coeff_P[lm]) and
is the spherical harmonic of order
at the angle
. The summations are performed over the index ranges
,
, where
is the highest order of multipole applied.
Example 3.5.3.2 demonstrates how the category is used in the proton sponge complex of Example 3.5.3.1
. Only the first atom is shown in the example.
