MATRICES OF REACTION FOR THE ONE-ELECTRON BOND TRANSFORMATIONS

The (A(i).A(j))+ molecules are formed by one-electron bonds, ensuring the binding of two atom species by one electron. In these molecules the electron is delocalized between two potential wells created by the coulombian field of atomic species in the molecules. The same delocalization is produced also for the covalent bond, where the bonding electrons with opposite spins are distributed on the same energy level. The dissociation and the formation of the one-electron bonds can be described by matrices of reaction that differ from those valid in the case of the covalent bonds by the multiplication with the scalar 1/2.
