Real space electron delocalization, resonance, and aromaticity in chemistry

The concept of delocalization, resonance and aromaticity are commonly discussed within electronic structure frameworks relying on specific wave function expansions. Here the authors propose a redefinition of these concepts from first-principles by investigating saddle points of the all-electron prob...

Description
Résumé:The concept of delocalization, resonance and aromaticity are commonly discussed within electronic structure frameworks relying on specific wave function expansions. Here the authors propose a redefinition of these concepts from first-principles by investigating saddle points of the all-electron probability density.
