Theoretical study of the mechanism of formation of a chemical bond between two ions: A+ and B+. Application to CO++. Interpretation of N2O++ photo-dissociation mechanisms

Description

This research thesis reports the theoretical study of the mechanism of formation of a chemical bond between two positively charged species, within the frame of the valence-bond theory and in the CO model case. The analysis in terms of orthogonal and non orthogonal orbitals leads to two very different interpretations, and allows potential curves of doubly charged diatomic ions to be simply explained, the generally evoked model to be put into question again, and a predictive model to be developed. The theoretical determination of N2O potential energy surfaces and of the first states of N2O++ (3Σ-, 1Δ, 1Σ+ et 3Π) allowed experimental results of N2O++ photo-dissociation to be at least qualitatively understood and interpreted. Moreover, the study of electronic configurations involved in dissociation, showed that the model elaborated for a diatomic molecule is also valid for a triatomic system

Abstract (French)

Le mecanisme de formation d'une liaison chimique entre deux especes chargees positivement a ete etudie theoriquement dans le cadre de la theorie valence-bond et sur le cas modele de CO. L'analyse en orbitales orthogonales et en orbitales non-orbitales a conduit a deux interpretations tres differentes et a permis d'expliquer simplement les courbes de potentiel des ions diatomiques doublement charges, de remettre en cause le modele couramment evoque et finalement d'etablir un modele predictif. La determination theorique des surfaces d'energie potentielle de N2O et des premiers etats de N2O++ (3Σ-, 1Δ, 1Σ+ et 3Π) a permis de comprendre et d'interpreter, au moins qualitativement, les resultats experimentaux sur la photodissociation de N2O++. Par ailleurs, l'etude des configurations electroniques mises en jeu lors de la dissociation, a permis de voir que le modele elabore pour une molecule diatomique est aussi valable pour un systeme triatomique.
