Complexes of Helium with Neutral Molecules: Progress Toward a Quantitative Scale of Bonding Character

The complexes of helium with nearly 30 neutral molecules (M) were investigated by various techniques of bonding analysis and symmetry‐adapted perturbation theory (SAPT). The main investigated function was the local electron energy density H(r), analyzed, in particular, so to estimate … Continue reading
