1Fachbereich Mathematik und Technik, Fachhochschule Bielefeld, Am Stadtholz 24, 33609 Bielefeld, Germany.
Abstract:
The second version of the program package AIM2000 is presented. AIM2000 makes use of the well established theory of atoms in molecules. AIM2000 analyzes the molecular structure and calculates properties of atoms in molecules as well as properties of interatomic surfaces. The program has an interactive, context-sensitive help component and extensive 2D and 3D visualization components.

Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...
π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...
