Project description

Lewis structures play a key role in the description of chemical reactivity. However, quantum mechanics does not know such concepts. Maximum Probability Domains provide chemical insight into quantum chemical descriptions by revealing domains in which the probability of finding two and only two electrons is maximal. In this project we take important steps towards increasing the applicability of MPDs.
