A one-electron approximation to domain-averaged Fermi hole analysis‡
Literature Information
Robert Ponec
In general, full domain-averaged Fermi hole (DAFH) analysis for correlated wavefunctions requires explicit use of the correlated pair density, but such a quantity is not always readily available. We propose instead a simple one-electron approximation, which we call pseudo-DAFH or pDAFH, and which requires instead only the natural orbitals (and their occupation numbers). From comparisons of the DAFH and pDAFH modes of analysis for the bond dissociation processes in H2, N2 and LiH, as well as for the electronic structure of more complex bonding patterns, such as in CH2Li2 and Li4, we conclude that pDAFH analysis could indeed prove to be very useful when the correlated pair density is not available. Detailed comparisons are also presented of values of the shared-electron distribution index (SEDI), a proposed one-electron approximation to it (pSEDI) and a generalized Wiberg index.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
