✦ Synopsis


The similarities among the molecular contours of three scalar fields, viz. electron density (ED), electrostatic potential (ESP) and bare nuclear potential (BNP) have been investigated. The topological resemblance between ESP and ED contour diagrams (as prompted by the Thomas-Fermi model)is more pronounced than that for BNP and ED contour diagrams (as predicted by the local density functional model of Parr, Cadre and Bartolotti) with three-membered ring systems as test cases. An analysis of critical points of these distributions has also been included. Thus it may be conjectured that ED maps may prove useful in predicting reactive sites in molecules.

The effect of the inclusion of electron correlation at the MP2 level on the MESP topography is investigated. The change is analyzed in terms of the MESP value as well as eigenvalues at the critical point (CP). The pi-bond and lone-pair minima become more shallow and flat, and all the CPs indicating
