Project description

The theory of maximum probability domains allows electrons to be statistically localized to regions of space, making Lewis structures deducible from quantum chemical calculations. In this project, a detailed examination of this theory is performed, in which it is extended with new concepts, is coupled to quantum chemical concepts and is put to work in a chemical environment.
