Molecular Affinity Calculation Service

Electron Affinity, EA

It refers to the first affinity, or the energy change when a neutral atom or molecule in a gaseous state gets an electron and becomes a -1 valence ion, which is defined as:

EA = E(N)-E(N+1)

here EA is the affinity, E(N+1) is the electron energy in the ground state of a -1 valent ion, E(N) is the electron energy in the ground state of a neutral atom or molecule, and N is the total number of electrons in the system. When the affinity value is positive, it means that the neutral molecule will release energy when it gains an electron.

When the -1 valent ion obtains another electron to form a -2 valent ion, its energy change is also called the second affinity, which is defined as:

EA = E(N+1)-E(N+2)

By analogy, third, fourth... affinity can be obtained.

Classifications

There are also two kinds of affinity (shown in Figure 2): vertical affinity (VEA) and adiabatic affinity (AEA). The vertical affinity refers to only optimizing the molecular configuration of the N-electron system, then using this configuration to calculate the energy of the N and N+1 electronic systems, and then subtracting them to obtain the affinity. The adiabatic affinity means to optimize the molecular configuration of the N and N+1 electronic systems and obtain the energy, and then subtract to obtain the affinity.

Molecular Ionization Potential Calculation Service 2

CD ComputaBio provides you with services for calculating vertical ionization potential and vertical affinity:

  • First optimize the structure of neutral molecules.
  • Based on the neutral molecular structure, the same method is used to calculate the single-point energy of +1 valent ions (for calculating ionization energy) or -1 valent ions (for calculating affinity).
  • According to the ionization potential or affinity formula, energy is subtracted.

CD ComputaBio also calculates adiabatic ionization potential and adiabatic affinity for you:

  • Optimize the structure of the neutral molecule and the corresponding +1-valent ion (to calculate the ionization potential) or -1 valent ion (to calculate the affinity), and perform frequency analysis at the same time.
  • According to the ionization potential or affinity formula, energy is subtracted.
