Popis: | An analysis of the electronic charge distributions of porphine and chlorin, their magnesium-substituted analogs, and ethyl chlorophyllide a has been carried out, using point-charge and symmetrically orthogonalized representations of ab initio molecular fragment scf-mo wave functions. The results indicate that both representations provide essentially identical descriptions. Molecular electrostatic potential calculations have also been carried out using the point-charge representation and from the wave function directly. Both approaches are in good agreement in regions beyond the van der Waals radius of the various atoms in the molecule. |
