Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the concept of vertical electronic affinity, including its calculation and utility. Participants explore the differences between vertical and adiabatic electronic affinity, as well as related concepts such as ionization potential and ionization energy.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the utility of calculating vertical electronic affinity and seeks clarification on the difference between vertical and adiabatic electronic affinity.
  • Another participant suggests providing more context and the specific expression related to vertical electronic affinity for better assistance.
  • A third participant references the relationship between adiabatic and vertical electron affinity with ionization potential and provides links to external resources for further understanding.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not appear to reach a consensus, as participants are exploring the topic and seeking clarification rather than agreeing on specific points.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the definitions and applications of vertical and adiabatic electronic affinity may be missing, and the discussion relies on external resources for further context.

Hello,
I find a expression to calculate vertical electronic affinity I wouled like to know the utility of the latter ?
what is the difference between adiabatic and vertical electronic affinity?
Thank you
