Electronic Wavefunction Tiles
Keyword(s):
We review the pre-quantum theories of electronic structure of Lewis and Langmuir, and how this relates to the post-quantum double-quartet theory of Linnett. Linnett’s ideas are put on a firm theoretical footing through the emergence of the wavefunction tile: The 3N-dimensional repeating structure of the N-electron wavefunction. Wavefunction tiles calculated by the dynamic Voronoi Metropolis sampling method are reviewed, and new results are presented for bent bonds of cyclopropane, and electron correlation in Be-O-Be.
