Qualitative Valence-Bond Descriptions of Electron-Rich Molecules: Pauling &quote;3-Electron Bonds&quote; and &quote;Increased-Valence&quote; Theory

This book provides qualitative molecular orbital and valence-bond descriptions of the electronic structures for electron-rich molecules, with strong emphasis given to the valence-bond approach. Electron-rich molecules form an extremely large class of molecules, and the results of quantum mechanical studies from different laboratories indicate that qualitative valence-bond descriptions for many of ...
