Optimized geometrical structure, atomic charges, molecular electrostatic potential, nonlinear optical (NLO) effects and thermodynamic properties of the title compound N-(2,5-methylphenyl)salicylaldimine (I) have been investigated by using ab initio quantum chemical computational studies. Calculated results showed that the enol form of (I) is more stable than keto form. The solvent effect was investigated for obtained molecular energies, hardneses and the atomic charge distributions of (I). Natural bond orbital and frontier molecular orbital analysis of the title compound were also performed. The total molecular dipole moment (${\mu}$), linear polarizability (${\alpha}$), and first-order hyperpolarizability (${\beta}$) were calculated by B3LYP method with 6-31G(d), 6-31+G(d,p), 6-31++G(d,p), 6-311+G(d) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets to investigate the NLO properties of the compound (I). The standard thermodynamic functions were obtained for the title compound with the temperature ranging from 200 to 450 K.

The photocyclodehydrogenation reaction of o-terphenyl type compounds has been interpreted with perturbational molecular orbital theory. Results show that the mobile bond order for the first excited state is a good reactivity index and this approach is also consistent with the orbital symmetry conservation rule of Woodward and Hoffmann.

The pseudolattice calculations in the CNDO/2 level of approximation are carried out for polymeric beryllium hydride, polyethylene and polymeric boron hydride. Since there is no evidence on the geometry for polymeric boron hydride, the two possible geometries are assumed. One is a polyethylene-type geometry and the other is a polymeric beryllium hydride-type geometry. In order to compare their relative stability, we calculate polyethylene and polymeric beryllium hydride and then compare with polymeric boron hydride having the assumed structures. The total energy calculation indicates that a polymeric beryllium bydride-type geometry is more stable than a polyethylene-type geometry. Our results obtained for polyethylene are in good agreement with those given by CNDO/2 crystal orbital. From the convergence problem with respect to the number of unit cells (M), the calculation with value of 4 for M can be considered to give the convergence limit results.

The molecular orbital calculations for solid HF are performed by using the pseudolattice method considering the coulomb lattice sum. In order to obtain the reliable net atomic charges and lattice energy of one dimensional chains, the limited counting of interactions terms up to second neighbours for zig-zag chain and third neighbours for linear chain are sufficient in this calculation. In three dimensional solid HF, the contribution of interaction energy between non-hydrogen bonded neighbours to lattice energy is about 3.5% and the lattice energy of nonpolar structure is stablized by 2.05 kcal/mole compared with that of polar structure. And, this method is further tested and compared with the other methods.

Molecules always show broad absorption band envelopes, and this results from the vibrational properties of bonds. The width of an absorption band can have an important influence on the color of a dye. A narrow band imparts a bright, spectrally pure color to the dye, whereas a broad band can give the same hue, but with a much duller appearance. Typically, half-band widths of cyanine dyes are about 25nm compared to value of over 50nm for typical merocyanine dyes. Thus, cyanine dyes are exceptionally bright. The factors influencing the width of an absorption band can be understood with reference to the Morse curves. The width of the absorption band depends on how closely the bond order of the molecules in the first excited state resembles that in the ground state. We have quantitatively evaluated the "molecular structure-absorption band shape" relationship of dye molecules by means of Pariser-Parr-Pople Molecular Orbital Method(PPP-MO).

The CNDO/2 MO method has been used to study gas phase reactions of protonated acetaldehyde with alcohols and protonated acetic acid with alcohols respectively by optimizing state geometries. Results showed that the former is predicted to proceed by alkyl-O cleavage and the latter by acyl-O cleavage. It has also been found using eigenvector properties of reactants that the former should be a charge controlled while the latter an orbital controlled reaction. According to the calculated activation energies assuming the transition states proposed by Caserio et al., the predicted reactivity order for alcohols agreed with the experiments for the latter but the order predicted was the reverse of the experimental one for the former.

We report on the theoretical positron affinities of closed-shell atomic anions. The second-order many-body perturbation theory is applied taking the positron-electron interaction as a perturbation. The corrections for the complete basis set effects to the second order affinity are calculated based on the variational and nonvariational energy functionals of explicitly correlated geminals. It is shown that the explicitly correlated methods accelerate the convergence of the expansion significantly giving the account of the cusp behavior outside the orbital space.

Through-space and through-bonds interactions between two nonbonding orbitals are shown to be first-order and second-order perturbations of nonbonding orbitals by the framework sigma orbitals. Through-space interactions for diamines and triplet diradicals are always destabilizing, but through-bonds interactions are stabilizing owing to their coupling with through-space effect. Anomalies in level ordering and magnitudes of energy splitting can be rationalized with the present approach. Orbtial interactions predicted with the PMO method were found to be consistent with those obtained by STO-3G calculations and photoelectron spectroscopy.

The CNDO/2 and STO-3G calculations were performed on nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur compounds in order to examine the effect of interactions between two nonbonding (n) orbitals in the same molecule separated by N intervening $\sigma$ bonds based on the PMO approach. Calculated basis level energies, energy splittings, and interaction energy changes for both chain and cyclic model compounds were qualitatively compared with the corresponding predictions derived from perturbational formalism for n-n orbital interactions and successfully explained in terms of the derived energy expressions. In general, through-space interaction term could be neglected in the N and O systems. And the calculated results were explained simply by through-bond interaction term. As a result, through-bond interaction placed n- below n+ for odd systems and n+ below n- for even systems. Also energy splittings in odd systems were larger than those in even systems. However, in the cases of cis-ethylene diamine and o-phenylene diamine(conformer VI in Table 4), through-space interaction term was found to be substantial and the opposing effects of through-space and through-bonds interactions were observed. Finally it was found that the interactions between two n orbitals on S atoms always had some contribution of the destabilizing through-space interaction term. This result was consistent with the fact that the lone pair lobes of third elements were larger in size than those of the second period elements.

Radiation side effects and complications on the ocular adnexa during electron beam therapy for orbital lymphoma can increase the incidence of posterior subcapsular cataracts. This study simulated a medical linear accelerator and a mathematical model of the eye using monte carlo simulations to evaluate the dose to the ocular adnexa and compare the shielding effectiveness on different parts of the ocular adnexa based on lens shield thickness. The dose assessment results of the ocular adnexa showed that the lens's sensitive area had the highest absorbed dose distribution when no shield was used, followed by the lens's non-sensitive area, the anterior chamber, vitreous humor, cornea, and eyelid in descending order. With the use of a shield, a 2 mm thick shield demonstrated a dose reduction effect of over 90% in the lens's sensitive area, over 83% in the non-sensitive area and anterior chamber, and a dose reduction effect of 30 to 62% in the vitreous body, cornea, and eyelid. For dose reduction in the lens's sensitive area during electron beam therapy for orbital lymphoma, it is necessary to use a shield of at least 2 mm thickness. Additionally, shielding strategies considering the thickness and area of the shield for other ocular adnexa besides the lens are required.
