Spin-Coupled Generalized Valence Bond (SCGVB) theory provides the foundation for a
comprehensive theory of the electronic structure of molecules. SCGVB theory offers a …

In this article we describe the unique insights into the electronic structure of molecules
provided by generalized valence bond (GVB) theory. We consider selected prototypical …

There are many well-known differences in the physical and chemical properties of ozone
(O3) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). O3 has longer and weaker bonds than O2, whereas SO2 has …

Thiophosphoryl nitrenes, R2P (S) N, are thiazirine-like intermediates that have been
chemically inferred from trapping products in early solution studies. In this work, photolysis of …

The inertness of molecular nitrogen and the reactivity of acetylene suggest there are
significant variations in the nature of triple bonds. To understand these differences, we …

The electronic structure of the ground state of NO and those of F (NO) and H (NO), that is, the
XNO and NOX isomers with X= F, H, were analyzed within the framework of generalized …

The generalized valence bond (GVB) method was developed by William A. Goddard III in
the latter half of the 1960s. The GVB wavefunction addresses the most serious deficiencies …

Elusive [S, S, N, O] isomers including the perthiyl radical• SSNO are S/N hybrid species in
the complex bioinorganic chemistry of signaling molecules H 2 S and• NO. By mixing …

The HNNS radical has been promoted recently as a viable intermediate in the interstellar
creation of the spectroscopically elusive nitrogen molecule. Any confirmation of this pathway …

Crabtree et al. recently reported the microwave spectrum of nitrosyl-O-hydroxide (trans-
NOOH), an isomer of nitrous acid, and found that this molecule has the longest O–O bond …
