Cottrell and Sutton

Bond order is usually understood to mean a C(iiantity related to tin multiplicity, in the chemist s sense, of a borai. and is usually theoretically derived. For this reason it does not fall within the scope of this book a review is given by Cottrell and Sutton However, Walsh has chosen to define bond order as the summed total electronic energy per bond . On this view it should be a direct measure of bond strength. 

Calculated by Klages method or by tFranklin s method from new thermochemical data using % Pauling s bond energy terms Klages bond contributions to heats of combustion Cottrell s and Coates and Sutton s bond energy terms Franklin s bond contributions to heats of combustion. 

Some calculations of delocalization energies of heterocyclic compounds have been reported, notably by Davies who included overlap for adjacent orbitals and used the value of S also used by Wheland . Orgel, Cottrell, Dick and Sutton and Dewar also reported some values. The assumptions used by these authors are mentioned later (pp. 35 and 36).
