Abstract: | A new method for the calculation of bond orders in alternant hydrocarbons is presented. The method requires a summation over the contributions of various superposition diagrams. Quantitatively, the method is almost as reliable as PPP, and due to its simplicity it can be used for fast and relatively accurate calculation of bond orders. In addition some simple rules are derived, which in many cases can be used to predict the signs of bond orders between nonbonded atoms.Dedicated to Professor J.
