Exact Analytical Form of Diatomic Molecular Orbitals.

ABSTRACT: We provide the exact analytical form of diatomic molecular orbitals, as given by the solutions of a single-electron diatomic molecule with arbitrary nuclear charges, using our recently developed method for solving Schrödinger equations. We claim that the best representation of the wave function is a factorized form including a power prefactor, an exponentially decaying term, a modulator function on the exponential, and additional factors accounting for nodal surfaces and the magnetic quantum number. Applying our method, we have identified unexpected extreme points along the potential energy curves, hence revealing the limitations of the well-known concepts of bonding and antibonding.

Project description:BackgroundOscillatory behavior is critical to many life sustaining processes such as cell cycles, circadian rhythms, and notch signaling. Important biological functions depend on the characteristics of these oscillations (hereafter, oscillation characteristics or OCs): frequency (e.g., event timings), amplitude (e.g., signal strength), and phase (e.g., event sequencing). Numerous oscillating reaction networks have been documented or proposed. Some investigators claim that oscillations in reaction networks require nonlinear dynamics in that at least one rate law is a nonlinear function of species concentrations. No one has shown that oscillations can be produced for a reaction network with linear dynamics. Further, no one has obtained closed form solutions for the frequency, amplitude and phase of any oscillating reaction network. Finally, no one has published an algorithm for constructing oscillating reaction networks with desired OCs.ResultsThis is a theoretical study that analyzes reaction networks in terms of their representation as systems of ordinary differential equations. Our contributions are: (a) construction of an oscillating, two species reaction network [two species harmonic oscillator (2SHO)] that has no nonlinearity; (b) obtaining closed form formulas that calculate frequency, amplitude, and phase in terms of the parameters of the 2SHO reaction network, something that has not been done for any published oscillating reaction network; and (c) development of an algorithm that parameterizes the 2SHO to achieve desired oscillation, a capability that has not been produced for any published oscillating reaction network.ConclusionsOur 2SHO demonstrates the feasibility of creating an oscillating reaction network whose dynamics are described by a system of linear differential equations. Because it is a linear system, we can derive closed form expressions for the frequency, amplitude, and phase of oscillations, something that has not been done for other published reaction networks. With these formulas, we can design 2SHO reaction networks to have desired oscillation characteristics. Finally, our sensitivity analysis suggests an approach to constructing a 2SHO for a biochemical system.
