Abstract

This project aims to contribute to the understanding of the electronic structure of ozone and its sulfur analogs through valence bond methods. With this work we intend to incorporate these methods into the arsenal used in the laboratory so that we can have a thorough understanding of chemical bonding in systems that we investigate, through the most current methods. Also, we should start a cooperation with Prof. Phillipe Hilberty group, an exponent in the field of chemical bonding methods. (AU)
