Description of functional groups by means of domain-restricted reduced density matrices

This report constitutes an application of our previous theoretical works on partitionings of the first-order reduced density matrix according to the atomic domains defined in the theory of atoms in molecules. The numerical determinations obtained reveal that the domain-restricted reduced density mat...

Description
Summary:This report constitutes an application of our previous theoretical works on partitionings of the first-order reduced density matrix according to the atomic domains defined in the theory of atoms in molecules. The numerical determinations obtained reveal that the domain-restricted reduced density matrices, which are the tools resulting from the former treatments, are suitable devices to describe chemical features of molecular fragments. We have focused attention on a study of functional groups in several series of organic compounds confirming the usefulness of these tools. © 2007 Springer-Verlag.
