On functions and quantities derived from the experimental electron density.

Calculation of properties of molecules and crystals as obtained from a multipole electron-density model restored from the accurate X-ray diffraction data is considered. Electronic and exchange energy-density distributions are presented along with those of local temperature and local entropy. Integration of the local functions over atomic basins defined by the zero-flux condition allows properties of molecules and crystals to be expressed in terms of atomic contributions derived directly from X-ray diffraction experiments. Distributions of local Fermi momentum and one-electron potential are considered as well. The approach has been applied to diamond, sodium fluoride, sodium chloride, solid chlorine, alpha-oxalic acid dihydrate and YBa(2)Cu(3)O(6.98).

Analyzing experimental electron density with the localized-orbital locator.

The localized-orbital locator, which describes the features of bonding in terms of the local kinetic energy, is approximately expressed as a function of electron density and its first and second derivatives. Calculations based on accurate electron densities derived from X-ray diffraction data are carried out for crystals with different types of chemical bonds. It is demonstrated that the localized-orbital locator reveals the features of atomic interactions in a solid state and allows the covalent, ionic and van der Waals bonds to be distinguished.
