Axial Asymmetry of the Charge- and Spin-Density Distributions in Π States. Molecular Quadrupole Moments and Hyperfine Coupling Constants of CH, NH, OH, CF, LiO, NO, and FO
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The axial asymmetry of the charge- and spin-density distributions in Pi states is studied via second-rank traceless tensors P(ii) (ii = xx, yy, zz), namely, quadrupole moments (Theta(ii)), electric field gradients (q(ii)), and magnetic dipolar (T(ii)) hyperfine coupling constants (hfcc's). In linear molecules, it holds that P(xx) does not = P(yy) does not = P(zz) for Pi, but P(xx) = P(yy) does not = P(zz) for Sigma, Delta, Phi,..., states. Thus, traceless P(ii) in Pi states have two independent parameters, P(parallel) = P(zz) is proportional to [r(m)(3 cos2 theta - 1] and deltaP(perpendicular) = |P(xx) - P(yy)| is proportional to [r(m) sin2 theta], with m = 2(Theta(ii)) or -3(q(ii), T(ii)). All linear states have P(parallel) does not = 0, but only Pi states exhibit deltaP(perpendicular) does not = 0, as shown by hfcc's like c = (3/2)T(zz), and d = |T(xx) - T(yy)|, as well as q0 = (-q(zz)) and |q(2)/2| = |q(xx) - q(yy)|. Little is known about Theta(zz) and deltaTheta(perpendicular) = |Theta(xx) - Theta(yy)| in Pi states since most experimental values (gas-phase) are rotational averages, and several theoretical studies have reported Theta(zz) but assumed deltaTheta(perpendicular) = 0. The diatomics studied here have X2Pi(1/2)(pi1) ground states, like CH and NO, or are of type X2Pi(3/2)(pi3), like OH, CF, LiO, and FO. The A3Pi(sigma pi3) state of NH is also included. Our P(parallel) and deltaP(perpendicular) values--calculated at the experimental R(e)'s with the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVQZ method--reproduce well the available literature data. The properties of the CF and FO radicals are not well-known so that our {c, d} and {q0, q2} values should help future experimental studies of their hyperfine spectra. Excluding OH, the complete quadrupole sets {Theta(zz), deltaTheta(perpendicular)} are new for all species discussed here. For comparison purposes, Theta(zz) of a low-lying Sigma state is also calculated for each X2Pi radical.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
