Abstract

We attempt to extend the Hard-Soft Acid-Base (HSAB) principle for the reactions in solutions to interactions in solids. First we point out the important link between the absolute hardness of acid-and-base and the average energy gap. Then we discuss the electronic band structures of various solids, e.g., metals, semimetals, semiconductors, and insulators. On the basis of energy gaps, we elaborate various consequences of the acid-base interactions in solids. The applications of the HSAB principle and the frontier orbital concept to the solid adhesion and surface interactions between metals and polymers will be verified by experimental results reported in the literature. The new findings reported in this paper should be beneficial to those who are carrying outd research in or processing thin-film microelectronic devices or thick-film multilayer structures.
