This study proposes new bonding descriptors based on electron pair density integrals. These novel localizability indicators offer a more comprehensive understanding of chemical bonding, including volume demand.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Chemical Bonding Theory

Background:

  • Chemical bonding analysis relies on various descriptors derived from different theoretical approaches.
  • Existing methods like electron density gradient fields and orbital pictures capture aspects like connectivity and rotational rigidity but not bond volume demand.
  • Space partitioning methods offer insights into volume but are not universally applied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel class of functionals for describing chemical bonding.
  • To define localizability indicators based on electron pair density integrals in direct and momentum space.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of these new descriptors in analyzing molecular bonding.

Main Methods:

  • Development of new functionals based on electron pair density integrals.
