Complementary Bonding Analysis / / ed. by Simon Grabowsky.

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...
