Molecular electronegativity in density functional theory (VI)Atom-bond electronegativity equalization model

Based on the density functional theory and partitioning the molecular electron density ρ (r) into atomic electronic densities and bond electronic densities, the expressions of the total molecular energy and the “effective electronegativity” of an atom or a bond in a molecule are obtained. The atom-bond electronegativity equalization model is then proposed for the direct calculation of the total molecular energy and the charge distribution of large molecules. Practical calculations show that the atom-bond electronegativity equalization model can reproduce the correspondingab initio values of the total molecular energies and charge distributions for a series of large molecules with a very satisfactory accuracy.
