Abstract
An expression is derived for the bond length of two spd orbitals with maximum values in two directions forming a given bond angle by consideration of the nonorthogonality integral of two best orbitals in these directions. This equation is equivalent to the expression derived by formulating the pair of orthogonal orbitals. Similar expressions are derived for spdf orbitals. Applications are made to icosahedral and cuboctahedral bonds and to the packing of nucleons in atomic nuclei.Year: 1976 PMID： 16578736 PMCID： PMC335887 DOI： 10.1073/pnas.73.2.274
