Meaning and Functional Form of the Electron Localization Function [PDF]
The electron localization function (ELF) is an important tool to study electronic structure. In this article, the concept of electron localization is introduced and the overlap between the physical meaning and functional form of the ELF is discussed in detail from two points of view: electron pair density and kinetic energy density.

Unveiling the regioselective synthesis of antiviral 5-isoxazol-5-yl-2´-deoxyuridines from the perspective of a molecular electron density theory [PDF]
The regioselective synthesis of a potent antiviral sugar nucleoside isoxazole analogue in the [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction of acetonitrile- -N-oxide (ANO) and acetyl-protected 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EDU) has been studied at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d,

A possible trigger for a wave-function collapse
The measurement problem is usually analysed with the quantum decoherence or wave-function collapse theory. Both theories seem to be equivalent with respect to experiments.

Energetics of Electron Pairs in Electrophilic Aromatic Substitutions
The interacting quantum atoms approach (IQA) as applied to the electron-pair exhaustive partition of real space induced by the electron localization function (ELF) is used to examine candidate energetic descriptors to rationalize substituent effects in ...

Electron localization function at the correlated level [PDF]
The electron localization function (ELF) has been proven so far a valuable tool to determine the location of electron pairs. Because of that, the ELF has been widely used to understand the nature of the chemical bonding and to discuss the mechanism of chemical reactions. Up to now, most applications of the ELF have been performed with monodeterminantal

Role of electron localization in density functionals [PDF]
We introduce a new functional for simulating ground-state and time-dependent electronic systems within density-functional theory. The functional combines an expression for the exact Kohn-Sham (KS) potential in the limit of complete electron localization with a measure of the actual localization.

Localization and Delocalization in Solids from Electron Distribution Functions
The extent of electron localization and delocalization in molecular and condensed phases has been the subject of intense scrutiny over the years. In Chemistry, where real, instead of momentum space viewpoints are many times closer to intuition, a plethora of localization descriptors exist, including a family of indices invariant under orbital ...
