D. Tunega et al., COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF THE ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL OBTAINED WITH VARIOUS ATOMIC BASIS-SETS FOR THE CLUSTER MODEL OF THE TETRAHEDRAL SHEET [SI2O5H2]INFINITY, Ceramics-Silikaty, 38(3-4), 1994, pp. 167-172
Semiempirical (INDO/2) and ab initio (STO-3G, 6-31G and 6-31G basis s
ets) quantum chemical calculations were done on the cluster model of t
he tetrahedral silicate sheet [Si2O5H2](infinity). The quality and rel
iability of electrostatic properties (charges from Mulliken population
analysis and the electrostatic potential above the basal oxygen atone
) from these calculations ore compared. The shape of the semiempirical
INDO/2 electrostatic potential for the tetrahedral silicate sheet is
also compared with our previous results for a talc layer.
