Forster-Coulson-Mofitt orbitals

It is a wide-spread assumption that the electronic structure of 1 can be rationalized by using either Forster-Coulson-Mofitt orbitals or Walsh orbitals which are considered to represent equivalent orbital sets and to lead to similar descriptions of bonding in the C3 ring of 1. The Walsh orbitals have attracted special attention, in particular among organic chemists, since they seem to be close to the canonical (delocalized) SCF MOs of 1 and seem to explain... [Pg.48]

The Forster-Coulson-Mofitt orbitals on the other hand, are considered to represent localized (bond) orbitals that help to visualize the bent bond character of the CC bonds of 1 and to explain its ring strain. They seem to be less suited to analyse substituent-ring interactions or the conjugative properties of 1. [Pg.49]
