Topology and Chemistry
Abstract
The determinants of chemical bonding are the chemical properties of the atoms and the constraints of three-dimensional (3-D) space into which the atoms must fit, but topology provides a convenient way of describing the resultant structure. This paper explores the topologies of various scalar fields associated with atoms in molecules and crystals and what they can tell us about chemical bonding. The scalar fields examined are the electron …
