Sb. Liu et al., SIMPLIFIED MODELS FOR HARDNESS KERNEL AND CALCULATIONS OF GLOBAL HARDNESS, The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 101(37), 1997, pp. 6991-6997
Reported in this paper are simplified models for the hardness kernel e
ta(r,r') and theoretical values of the global hardness for the first 5
4 neutral atoms calculated using these models. It is found that a part
icularly simple model for the hardness kernel, eta(r,r')=1/\r-r'\ + C,
where C is a constant, generates good results for the global hardness
eta. Both main-group elements and transition metal elements are consi
dered, as are various conventional models, in approximating energy com
ponents.
