Abstract

The molecular-orbital picture of bonding in the calcium carbonate monomer is reviewed. Energies and geometries predicted by empirical potentials are compared to results of molecular-orbital calculations. An empirical potential is presented that allows charge redistribution and bonding changes within the carbonate ion in response to the position of calcium.
