Techniques in facile calculation of molecular orbital parameters and related conceptualizations - molecular orbital functional groups

The superhighway to greater understanding requires the development of techniques for facile methods (i.e. back of an envelope methods) of calculation and conceptualization of chemical phenomena. Huckel molecular orbital (HMO) theory is one of the vehicles on this superhighway. While reviewing some examples within this framework, new insights are given and select HMO data will be tabulated for the first time. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
