Another question is whether the filled orbitals are of a bonding or antibonding character. This is displayed on a crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) plot as shown in Figure 34.3. Typically, the positive bonding region is plotted to the right of the zero line.

The "Crystal Orbital Overlap Population" (COOP) [20] shows (Fig. 4) that all levels arising below the Fermi level are a and Jt bonding and the highest energy levels are ct and n antibonding however the specific COOP curves for each Mo-0 distance (Fig. 5) show a...

At the end of Section 10.1 the Mulliken overlap population is mentioned as a quantity related to the bond order. A corresponding quantity for solids was introduced by R. Hoffmann the crystal orbital overlap population (COOP). It is a function that specifies the bond strength in a crystal, all states being taken into account by the Mulliken overlap populations Its calculation requires a powerful computer however, it can... 

The orbital interaction which is responsible for the adsorption of molecular oxygen on the Ag(110) surface is mainly between silver dxz and 7t 0-0- The interaction between the silver surface and molecular oxygen leads to a donation of 1.55 electrons into the 7t o o from surface because the Fermi level of the surface is located higher in energy than n oo In Figure 1 is shown the contribution for the adsorbed molecular oxygen in 2 to the total density of states (DOS) and also the Ag-O and 0-0 crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) curves. 

Ultimately, the treatment of electronic structure in extended systems is no more complicated (nor is it less so) than in discrete molecules. The bridge to local chemical action advocated here is through decompositions of the DOS and the crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) curves. These deal with the fundamental questions Where are the electrons Where can I find the bonds ... 

Finally, we study the atom-atom and orbital-orbital interactions by evaluation of the crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) and the overlap population (OP) corresponding to bonds and atomic orbitals, in order to analyze...
