Abstract

Conclusion This work shows the following trends: The geometrical parameters do not give sufficient information to describe a delocalized species: in particular they do not give the balance between the most important mesomeric structures. A valence-bond analysis is thus necessary. There is no evident relation between the? r charge distribution of delocalized charged species and the electronegativity of the p atoms. In fact, in anions, the fiist-order ...
