Partial equalisation of orbital electronegativity

Gasteiger J, Marsili M. Iterative partial equalisation of orbital electronegativity a rapid access to atomic charges. Tetrahedron 1980 36 3219-3228. 

The Gasteiger-Marsili approach uses the concept of the partial equalisation of orbital electronegativity. Electronegativity is a concept well known to chemists, being defined by Pauling as the power of an atom to attract electrons to itself. Mulliken subsequently defined the electronegativity of an atom A as the average of its ionisation potential and its electron affinity E ...
