Re: CCL:HYBRIDIZATION NOT "REAL";V. FOCK

[jmmckel (+ at +) attglobal.net]

My $0.02:
 Perturbations on a system that change electronic distribution can be
 _rationalized_
 post-facto in terms of changes in [presumed] hybridization....[ I can't get away
 from
 the fact that eigenvalues SCF canonical orbitals are the ones that best
 correlate with
 experiment, not the _attendant_ ones derived from a hybridization process. They
 render
 the Fock matrix non-diagonal]
