Electronegativity and hardness as coordinates in structure stability diagrams.

S Shankar, R G Parr

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Electronegativity and hardness, derived from ionization potential and electron affinity, offer new coordinates for classifying crystal structures. This approach successfully categorizes binary compounds and reveals chemical periodicity in their structures.
