Content:
As chemical bonds are not observable, there are various theories and models for their description. This book presents a selection of conceptually very different and historically competing views on chemical bonding analysis from quantum chemistry and quantum crystallography. It not only explains the principles and theories behind the methods, but also provides practical examples of how to derive bonding descriptors with modern software and of how to interpret them
