Our major contributions to this area of research are summarized below:<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportLists]>1.            <![endif]>Three decades ago we developed the Relativistic Self-consistent Field Theory for Closed-Shell Molecules": G.Malli and J.Oreg, J.Chem.Phys.63, 830 (1975). A computer code was developed based upon our formalism and the first Dirac-Fock SCF calculations using the basis set of Slater-type-orbitals (STOs) were reported on the diatomics Li2 and Be2, see G.L.Malli and J.Oreg, Chem.Phys.Letters, . However, these were preliminary calculations with a minimum of basis set and for the medium and heavy atom molecules very extensive calculations involving extended basis set would be mandatory. As is well-known in nonrelativisic quantum chemistry, the STOs are unsuitable for molecular calculations in general on polyatomics as first pointed by Boys who proposed the use of Gaussian type orbitals (GTOs) for quantum mechanical calculations on polyatomics. <o:p></o:p> <![if !supportLists]>2.            <![endif]>In 1979 we introduced the Gaussian spinor basis set for relativistic Dirac-Fock SCF calculations on atoms and (molecules): G.L.Malli, Chem.Phys.Letters, 68, 529(1979) where we reported the DF SCF calculations for Xe using our G-spinor basis set.<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportLists]>3.            <![endif]>The first all-electron fully relativistic calculation on the heavy diatomic AuH was reported by Malli and Pyper [G.L.Malli and N.C.Pyper, Proc.Roy.Soc. A407, 377(1986)] using the numerical DF atomic spinors of Au and H as the basis set. We showed for the first time that due to relativity (i) there was significant 5d-6s hybridization in the gold atom, (ii) the predicted dissociation energy was doubled, and (iii) there was a bond contraction of 0.45 bohr. <o:p></o:p> (4) We performed the first limited relativistic Configuration Interaction (RCI) calculation for AuH and we reported the effects of relativity and electron correlation on bond length, vibrational frequency, dissociation energy (and dipole moment). Later we reported such results for the diatomic hydrides of the sixth row elements. A 50% reduction of the dipole moment was predicted by relativity for AuH: A.F.Ramos, N.C.Pyper and G.L.Malli, Phys.Rev. A 38, 2729(1989).No such calculations had been reported for any heavy atom molecule.<o:p></o:p> We extended our relativistic DF SCF theory to a general class of open shell molecular systems [G.L.Malli, Chem.Phys.Lett.73, 510(1980)] and its application to AuH+ was reported [Y.Ishikawa, G.L.Malli and N.C.Pyper, Chem.Phys.Lett.194, 481(1992)].<o:p></o:p> (5) We have developed the Universal Gaussian Basis set [G.L.Malli et al, Phys.Rev. A 47,143 (1993), ibid, Chem.Phys.Lett, 201, 37 (1993);ibid J.Chem.Phys. 101,6829 (1994);ibid, J.Chem.Phys.109,8759(1998)] for the first ab initio all-electron Dirac-Fock (DF) relativistic self-consistent field (RSCF) calculations for a large number of diatomics and polyatomics involving heavy and superheavy elements(SHE).<o:p></o:p> (6)We have performed the first Dirac- scattered wave (DSW) SCF calculations on gold clusters with 3 to 13 gold atoms in various geometries including the first Icosahedral (Ih*) and cuboctahedron geometries for 13 gold atoms and we discussed the relative stabilities for the 13 gold -atom geometrical configurations: <o:p></o:p> (7) Recently we have investigated both the effects of relativity and electron correlation using our fully relativistic Dirac-Fock, relativistic Moller-Plesset second order perturbation theory (MP2), coupled-cluster single and doubles (RCCSD) and RCCSD(T) calculations which treat the triple excitations as perturbation.for a large number of molecules involving heavy actinides and SHE elements up to the primordial SHE E126 ekaplutonium.<o:p></o:p> (8) Currently we are using the relativistic coupled-cluster methodology for atoms and molecules of heavy and SHE. These calculations are performed using our universal Gaussian basis set (UGBS) for atoms of the heaviest elements (Z=104-126) assuming a Gaussian nuclear model using the MOLFDIR code. <o:p></o:p> (9) All-electron fully relativistic 4-component DF SCF calculations have been performed for over 200 molecules of the transactinides and their lighter homologs which include the following:tetrachlorides of Zr, Hf and Rf (Z=104); pentachlorides of Nb, Ta and Ha (Z=105); hexachlorides of Mo, W and Sg (Z=106);oxychlorides TaOCl3 HaOCl3 , SgOCl4 , SgO2Cl2 ; hexafluorides and hexachlorides of E110 ( Z=110); tetra,penta,and hexachlorides and the corresponding-bromides of Rf, Ha, Sg , Ns( Z=107) and E111 ( Z=111),hexafluoride and hexachloride of E126 ( ekaplutonium).<o:p></o:p> (10)We have also investigated the stability and atomization (binding) energy of the various actinide and superheavy element carbonyls M(CO)n and isocarbonyls M(OC)n (n=1-6, M=Th, U,Pu, Rf,Sg,E110, E112, E118,E122,E124,E126),etc.<o:p></o:p> Our gargantuan calculations which required thousands of CPU hrs and huge disk space were performed at Cray C90 and IBM RS 6000 Seaborg supercomputers at National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), supported by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy and at the Cray supercomputer centre at <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Chippewa</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>Falls</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> through the generosity of Cray Inc, <st1:country-region><st1:place>Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<o:p></o:p> Our recent research in the chemistry and physics of the heavy and superheavy elements was featured in the Chemical & Engineering News (C & EN): Heavy Elements, <st1:date Year="1998" Day="23" Month="3">March 23,1998</st1:date> issue, see pp 54-55.
