Structure Weights Derived from the Molecular Geometry

CANONICAL STRUCTURE WEIGHTS DERIVED FROM THE MOLECULAR GEOMETRY 

It is possible to apply theoretical models working exactly in the frame of the Valence Bond theory. Another way is to employ empirical models for the above mentioned purpose. The aim of this review is to show how molecular geometry may be employed to solve these kinds of problems. As a useful method, an empirical model called Harmonic Oscillator Stabilization Energy (HOSE) can be used. Its the chief aim is to serve as a tool for determining the weights of canonical structures in 7i-electron systems [44,45], which may be either molecules or their fragments.
