Qualitative Valence-Bond Descriptions of Electron-Rich Molecules: Pauling “3-Electron Bonds” and “Increased-Valence” Theory Pauling "3-Electron Bonds" and "Increased-Valence" 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...
