چکیده
The purpose of the present paper is to describe a method, in quantitative sense, of discussing the isolobal analogy of fragments (or molecules) proposed by Hoffmann. The »Frontier Hybrid Orbitals (FHO)« are used to represent the directional, fronti er orbitals of the central atom, which have the same meaning as the »lobes« involved in the concept of isolobal analogy. The calculatio n of Frontier Hybrid Orbitals (FHO's) is based on the natural hybrid orbitals which are the eigenvectors of density matrix blocks. The overlap integrals, bonding capabillties, and valence orbital energy levels of the FHO's of fragment s are also calculated. The relationship between FHO and the isolobal analogy is discussed in this paper.

The spatial resolution of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) can be enhanced using light element-terminated probes with spatially localized electron orbitals at the apex atom. Conductive diamond probes can provide carbon atomic orbitals suitable for STM imaging with sub-Ångström lateral resolution and high apex stability crucial for the small tunneling gaps necessary for high-resolution expe...

An analysis of reaction efficiency is presented for reactions of carbonaceous ions and molecules. Our results show that the combination of experimental rate-coefficient measurements and computations of the condensed Fukui functions of frontier molecular orbitals and pyramidal angles of pi orbitals is very useful for elucidating the reactive sites on fullerene carbon clusters in the gas phase.

Organic, conjugated donor−acceptor (D−A) systems are essential components of photovoltaic devices. Design and optimization of D−A systems is typically based on trial-and-error experimentation methods that would benefit from fundamental physical insights on structure−function relationships at the molecular level. Here, we implement a nonequilibrium Green’s function methodology at the density fun...

In this paper, the frontier hybrid orbitals (FBO's) of a series of octahedral ML5 fragments are used to discuss the electronic structure and the chemical bond of these fragments and the molecules built of these ML5 fragments. The bond orbitals which are chosen as the linear combination of the frontier hybrid orbitals . of fragments are calculated and explain the electronic structure and propert...

Open-shell fragments of graphene have attracted increased attention in recent years because oftheir unique spin carrier property. Through the experimental efforts, these neutral π-radicals could bestabilized by steric protection or delocalized π-conjugated system, such as the phenalenyl-basedmolecules. Here, we use zero sum rule to extend the molecular size and investigate their...
