Table 2. Solvent-Induced Shifts ΔG of the HOMO Binding Energies (First Column) and Range of Solvent-Induced Shifts for All Calculated Binding Energies (Second Column) in eV Determined by Electronic Structure Calculations (DFT) for the Studied Systems of THF, Np, Np–, Bp, and Bp–a.
| ΔGDFT | ΔGDFT range | ΔGBH | |
|---|---|---|---|
| THF | 1.34 | 0.97–1.34 | 1.36 |
| Np | 0.91 | 0.90–0.95 | 0.94 |
| Np– | 2.47 | 2.39–2.64 | 2.66 |
| Bp | 0.74 | 0.74–0.86 | 0.78 |
| Bp– | 2.28 | 2.09–2.44 | 2.27 |
For comparison, the last column lists the corresponding solvent shifts estimated using the classical Born–Haber cycle.
