Calculation of the average properties of atoms in molecules. II

Biegler‐könig, Friedrich W., Bader, Richard F. W., Tang, Ting‐Hua·1982·Journal of Computational Chemistry

Abstract

This article describes an algorithm for the calculation of the average properties of an atom in a molecule. The atom is defined within the topological theory of molecular structure, a theory which defines atoms, bonds, structure, and structural stability in terms of the topological properties of a system's charge distribution. The average properties of the atom so defined are uniquely determined by quantum mechanics. Results for a number of hydrocarbon molecules, obtained by the program PROAIM (properties of atoms in molecules) which implements this algorithm, are given. In general, this program enables one to calculate the average energy of an atom in a molecule to an accuracy of ±1 kcal/mol.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
