In this article, a general and natural choice is to share the charge density at each point among the several atoms in proportion to their free-atom densities at the corresponding distances from the nuclei.
Abstract
For quantitative description of a molecular charge distribution it is convenient to dissect the molecule into well-defined atomic fragments. A general and natural choice is to share the charge density at each point among the several atoms in proportion to their free-atom densities at the corresponding distances from the nuclei. This prescription yields well-localized bonded-atom distributions each of which closely resembles the molecular density in its vicinity. Integration of the atomic deformation densities — bonded minus free atoms — defines net atomic charges and multipole moments which concisely summarize the molecular charge reorganization. They permit calculation of the external electrostatic potential and of the interaction energy between molecules or between parts of the same molecule. Sample results for several molecules indicate a high transferability of net atomic charges and moments.

Charge Density and Chemical Reactions: A Unified View from Conceptual DFT

TL;DR: Conceptual density-functional theory (DFT) as mentioned in this paper is a mathematical framework for using changes of the electron density to understand chemical reactions and chemical reactivity, which is similar to classical thermodynamics, with state functions, variational principles, and Legendre transforms.

Non-bonded force field model with advanced restrained electrostatic potential charges (RESP2)

TL;DR: This work argues that RESP2 with δ ≈ 0.6 (60% aqueous, 40% gas-phase charges) is an accurate and robust method of generating partial charges, and that a small set of Lennard-Jones types is a good starting point for a systematic re-optimization of this important non-bonded term.

Electronic Structures of Molecules XI. Electroaffinity, Molecular Orbitals and Dipole Moments

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show how electroaffinity and other data can be used in the approximate determination of the polarities of molecular orbitals and so of bonds, the results being expressed both in terms of coefficients in LCAO molecular orbits and the effective charges transferred.

Analysis of Charge Distributions: Hydrogen Fluoride

TL;DR: In this article, a series of single-determinant SCF-LCAO-MO wavefunctions were used to study the changes that occur in the electron density as the Hartree-Fock solution is approached.
