In the molecular orbital theory of valency the electrons are assigned to the whole molecule rather than to atoms or to other localized parts. While the method has advantages in dealing with the properties of a molecule as a whole, such as its energy states, the extension of each orbital over the molecular framework is a disadvantage when dealing with localized properties such as directed bonds. This paper deals in a general way with the equations which molecular orbitals must satisfy, allowing for the exchange of electrons between orbitals. It is then shown that when molecules have properties of symmetry the equations can be transformed so as to be satisfied by orbitals which have the property of equivalence. These can be regarded under certain conditions as directed orbitals and the conditions for these are discussed. To illustrate the method molecules of the type XY 2 are considered.

Classical valence theory suggests the existence of strongly localized bonds (double bonds), i.e., of ethylene-like molecules, in benzenoid hydrocarbons (molecular graphs Bs); such an ‘ethylene’ is an edge in a hexagon that contacts with three hexagon faces in B. The phase of a bond is defined as the sign either plus for bonding or minus for antibonding. By use of perturbation molecular orbital theory we conclude that the phase of each bond that meets at the ethylene has necessarily the minus sign in HOMOof B; the bond phase alters in HOMO and LUMO of B.
