| A '''linear combination of atomic orbitals''' or '''LCAO''' is a [[quantum superposition]] of [[atomic orbitals]] and a technique for calculating [[molecular orbital]]s in [[quantum chemistry]].<ref>Huheey, James. ''Inorganic Chemistry:Principles of Structure and Reactivity''</ref> In quantum mechanics, [[electron configurations]] of atoms are described as [[wavefunctions]]. In mathematical sense, these wave functions are the [[Basis set (chemistry)|basis set]] of functions, the basis functions, which describe the electrons of a given atom. In [[chemical reactions]], orbital wavefunctions are modified, i.e. the [[electron cloud]] shape is changed, according to the type of atoms participating in the [[chemical bonding|chemical bond]].

| A mathematical description follows.
| |
| | |
| An initial assumption is that the number of molecular orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals included in the linear expansion. In a sense, n atomic orbitals combine to form n molecular orbitals, which can be numbered ''i'' = 1 to n and which may not all be the same. The expression (linear expansion) for the ''i'' th molecular orbital would be:
| |
| | |
| : <math>\ \phi_i = c_{1i} \chi_1 + c_{2i} \chi_2 + c_{3i} \chi_3 + \cdots +c_{ni} \chi_n</math>
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| : <math>\ \phi_i = \sum_{r} c_{ri} \chi_r </math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>\ \phi_i </math> ([[phi (letter)|phi]]) is a [[molecular orbital]] represented as the [[sum]] of n [[atomic orbital]]s <math>\ \chi_r </math> ([[chi (letter)|chi]]), each multiplied by a corresponding coefficient <math>\ c_{ri} </math>, and ''r'' (numbered 1 to n) represents which atomic orbital is combined in the term. The coefficients are the weights of the contributions of the n atomic orbitals to the molecular orbital. The [[Hartree-Fock]] procedure is used to obtain the coefficients of the expansion.
| |
| | |
| The orbitals are thus expressed as [[linear combination]]s of [[basis function]]s, and the [[basis set (chemistry)|basis functions]] are one-[[electron]] functions centered on [[atomic nucleus|nuclei]] of the component [[atom]]s of the [[molecule]]. The atomic orbitals used are typically those of [[hydrogen-like atom]]s since these are known analytically i.e. [[Slater-type orbital]]s but other choices are possible like [[Gaussian orbital|Gaussian functions]] from standard [[basis set (chemistry)|basis sets]].
| |
| | |
| By minimizing the total [[energy]] of the system, an appropriate set of [[coefficient]]s of the linear combinations is determined. This quantitative approach is now known as the [[Hartree-Fock]] method. However, since the development of [[computational chemistry]], the LCAO method often refers not to an actual optimization of the wave function but to a qualitative discussion which is very useful for predicting and rationalizing results obtained via more modern methods. In this case, the shape of the [[molecular orbital]]s and their respective energies are deduced approximately from comparing the energies of the [[atomic orbital]]s of the individual atoms (or molecular fragments) and applying some recipes known as [[level repulsion]] and the like. The graphs that are plotted to make this discussion clearer are called '''correlation diagrams'''. The required atomic orbital energies can come from calculations or directly from experiment via [[Koopmans' theorem]].

| This is done by using the symmetry of the molecules and orbitals involved in bonding. The first step in this process is assigning a [[point group]] to the molecule. A common example is water, which is of C<sub>2v</sub> symmetry. Then a [[reducible representation]] of the bonding is determined demonstrated below for [[water]]:
| |
| | |
| :[[File:CharakterH2Oa.svg|500px|The irreducible representation as derived from the point group's operations]]
| |
| | |
| Each operation in the point group is performed upon the molecule. The number of bonds that are unmoved is the character of that operation. This reducible representation is decomposed into the sum of irreducible representations. These irreducible representations correspond to the symmetry of the orbitals involved.
| |
| | |
| [[MO diagram]]s provide simple qualitative LCAO treatment.

| Quantitative theories are the [[Huckel method]], the [[extended Huckel method]] and the [[Pariser–Parr–Pople method]].
