The programInvariomToolcan be used to obtain high-quality X-ray structures of organic molecules by automating both invariom modelling and the modelling process employed in experimental charge density studies.InvariomToolis a preprocessor program for theXDpackage [Koritsánszkyet al.(2003), Technical Report, Freie Universität Berlin] and allows the analysis of a structure in terms of the local atomic bonding environment in order to assign Hansen–Coppens pseudoatoms that are transferable from one molecule to another (invarioms). It relies on a database of invariom entries, each containing the invariom name, local atomic site symmetry, coordinate system, model-compound name and theoretically predicted multipole population parameters. The information on chemical equivalence and local atomic site symmetry determines which multipole parameters are to be refined in the least-squares procedure of an experimental charge density study.InvariomToolallows the user to generate input files either for invariom refinement, where parameters are fixed and taken from the database, or for an experimental refinement of multipole parameters.

A high-resolution X-ray diffraction measurement of 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ) at 20 K was carried out. The experimental charge density was modeled using the Hansen–Coppens multipolar expansion and the topology of the electron density was analyzed in terms of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). Two different multipole models, predominantly differentiated by the treatment of the chlorine atom, were obtained. The experimental results have been compared to theoretical results in the form of a multipolar refinement against theoretical structure factors and through direct topological analysis of the electron density obtained from the optimized periodic wavefunction. The similarity of the properties of the total electron density in all cases demonstrates the robustness of the Hansen–Coppens formalism. All intra- and intermolecular interactions have been characterized.

The ongoing increase in the number of experimental charge-density studies can be related to both the technological advancements and the wide applicability of the method. Regarding materials science, the understanding of bonding features and their relation to the physical properties of materials can not only provide means to optimize such properties, but also to predict and design new materials with the desired ones. In this tutorial, we describe the steps for a charge-density analysis, emphasizing the most relevant features and briefly discussing the applications of the method.
