β¦ Synopsis
The topological analysis of the electron localization function ELF has been carried out on five-membered (C 4 H 4 NH, C 4 H 4 PH, C 4 H 4 O, C 4 H 4 S) and six-membered (C 5 H 5 N, C 5 H 5 P) heterocycles. The bonding in these molecules is discussed on the basis of the valence basin populations. It is shown that the values of the ELF function at the (3, -1) critical points between disynaptic basins related to a given center provide a criterion to determine substitutional sites.

## Abstract The topological analysis of grids of data is used for determination of surfaces or volumes around maxima. The volumes are then related to chemical information such as atoms or bonds, and can be used for integration of local properties such as electronic population. The problem of global
