The Stereochemical Consequences of Coulomb Polarization in Ground State Molecules

The strategy for giving prominence to monoelectronic polarization involves now the following two steps. 

1) Thed. j matrix elements become small, in absolute magnitude. 

2) The energy requirement for local fragment excitation is reduced.

By contrast, if C and L are made up of strong overbinders, then polarization will play a secondary role and bonding will occur primarily through the strong CT interaction of all CW s, and, of course, through spin pairing in 2 and
