Liebman Arthur Greenberg In addition to describing modern views of bonding and delocalization, this volume presents the ways in which these have been deduced. For example, qualitative pictures of small rings often include the competing and now classic concepts of strain and aromaticity. Quantitative quantum chemical calculations provide topological views of molecular electron density, which in turn yield new descriptions and related insights.
