Abstract
- We present a methodology for analyzing chemical bonds embedded in the electronic wave function of molecules, especially in terms of spin correlations or so-called "local spin." In this paper, based on biorthogonal second quantization, the spin correlation functions of molecules are naturally introduced, which enables us to extract local singlet and local triplet elements from the wave function. We also clarify the relationship between these spin correlations and traditional chemical concepts, i.e., resonance structures. Several chemical reactions, including the intramolecular radical cyclization and the formation of preoxetane, are demonstrated to verify the analysis method numerically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
