Bonding in Electron-Rich Molecules Qualitative Valence-Bond Approach via Increased-Valence Structures

This second edition was updated to include some of the recent developments, such as “increased-valence” structures for 3-electron-3-centre bonding, benzene, electron conduction and reaction mechanisms, spiral chain O4 polymers and recoupled-pair bonding. The author provides qualitative molecular orb...
