TLDR
In this paper, the Hartree-Fock parallel spin probability was used to identify localized electronic groups in atomic and molecular systems, which is completely independent of unitary orbital transformations.Abstract:
We introduce in this work a new approach to the identification of localized electronic groups in atomic and molecular systems. Our approach is based on local behavior of the Hartree–Fock parallel‐spin pair probability and is completely independent of unitary orbital transformations. We derive a simple ‘‘electron localization function’’ (ELF) which easily reveals atomic shell structure and core, binding, and lone electron pairs in simple molecular systems as well.read more

Classification of chemical bonds based on topological analysis of electron localization functions
Bernard Silvi,Andreas Savin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a topological analysis of local quantum-mechanical functions related to the Pauli exclusion principle is presented, where the local maxima of these functions define "localization attractors", of which there are only three basic types: bonding, non-bonding and core.
