What are the types of bond orders?

I am studying the interaction of a metal with a nanostructure. As we can not trust graphical software about the bond formation, I decided to analyze them using the software Multiwfn. It happens that ...

Best partial atomic charges estimate for crystal field purposes?

The estimates for partial atomic charges start with the very simple Mulliken analysis, which we all study in class, but which is known to be very limited. Beyond this, there is a range of ...

Can we calculate bond enthalpies for each bond in a supercell of a disordered AB crystal using DFT? [closed]

Apart from using Bader charge analysis or energy of formation estimation, I wonder if there is a way to compute the bond energy of constituent bonds in a crystal using density functional theory. Let's ...
