The Core

The main goal of this study is the validation of relativistic Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) as implemented in Tonto for high-resolution X-ray diffraction datasets of an organo-gold(I) compound. The influence of the relativistic effects on statistical parameters, geometries and electron density properties was analyzed and compared with the influence of electron correlation and anharmonic atomic motions. Recent work in this field has indicated the importance of relativistic effects in the static electron density distribution of organo-mercury compounds. This study confirms that differences in electron density due to relativistic effects are also of significant magnitude for organo-gold compounds. Relativistic effects dominate not only the core region of the gold atom, but also influence the electron density in the valence and bonding region, which has measurable consequences for the HAR refinement model parameters. To study the effects of anharmonic motion on the electron density distribution, dynamic electron density difference maps were constructed. Unlike relativistic and electron correlation effects, the effects of anharmonic nuclear motion are mostly observed in the core area of the gold atom.

Ci Calculations

It is shown by AHF-CI calculations that the changes in the electron distribution in bonding and lone pair regions of nitrogen and acetylene due to electron correlation can be neglected when calculating electron difference densities of these molecules. The changes brought about by electron correlation are such that the electron density in interatomic regions is reduced and in atomic (core) regions increased. These results might meet general interest in the area of electron difference density determinations.

X Ray

From X-ray analysis, the conclusions are drawn from averaged molecular informations. Thus, limitations are caused when analyzing systems whose symmetry is reduced due to interatomic interactions. In contrast, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) directly images atomic scale surface electron density distribution, with a resolution up to fractions of Angstrom units. The crucial point is the correlation between the electron density distribution and the localization of individual atoms, which is reasonable in many cases. Thus, the use of STM images for crystal structure determination may be permitted. We tried to apply RuCl3 - a layered material with semiconductive properties - for such STM studies. From the X-ray analysis it has been assumed that α-form of this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (AICI3 type). The chlorine atoms form an almost undistorted cubic closed package while Ru occupies 2/3 of the octahedral holes in every second layer building up a plane hexagon net (graphite net). Idealizing the arrangement of the chlorines a hexagonal symmetry would be expected. X-ray structure determination of isotypic compounds e.g. IrBr3 leads only to averaged positions of the metal atoms as there exist extended stacking faults of the metal layers.

Theta Pinch

In a θ-pinch the radial symmetry of the electron density distribution as a function of time has been measured by a MACH—ZEHNDER interferometer. In a time interval of 400 nsec during a discharge an image converter made three pictures (exposure times of 10 nsec each) . Up to 100 nsec after the first compression, the experimental results show different density distributions for the cases of trapped parallel and antiparallel magnetic fields. Complete radial symmetry of the electron density distribution was not found.Another interferometric method for measuring the radial symmetry of the electron distribution by observing “zero order” fringes is described.
