Internuclear Distances

The electron pairing theory of molecular structure has been extended in its application to conjugated hydrocarbons. Formulae for calculating internuclear distances, force constants and interaction constants are derived. These appear to give rather better results than the already successful molecular orbital theory. The interaction of two conjugated systems is discussed, and it is shown how the conjugating power of a hydrocarbon residue may be correlated with its residual affinity

Certain simplifications to the general molecular-orbital theory with inclusion of overlap, developed in Part I of this series, arise when it is applied to hydrocarbon systems. The simpler formulae for atom and bond charges and for polarizabilities are presented, together with some inequalities and identities which apply to hydrocarbon systems. The law of alternating polarity for the atom charge density is established for alternant conjugated systems.
