Abstract

We have just found that the equation

$$ \Delta E_a^* = \Delta E_a^{*o} - \frac{1}{{{\gamma ^{\text{e}}}}}\Delta \left( {V_{{\text{ne}}}^{e{\text{ff}}} + 2V_{{\text{nn}}}^{e{\text{ff}}}} \right) $$
(3.1)

offers a sensible route towards the calculation of chemical binding. It is not the only way, of course, but it has the merit of offering a fresh insight into problems of chemical interest: bonds and bond energies. Bond dissociation energies are even more important, for that matter, because of their role in the interpretation of chemical reactions, but an understanding of bond energies in unperturbed ground-state molecules is required in the first place. Here we put emphasis on the factors governing the energies—and, subsequently, the dissociation—of chemical bonds without suggesting (even remotely) that eq. (3.1) is a panacea for solving all our problems. First of all, we should remember that (3.1) applies only to molecules at equilibrium.
