“…Quantum chemical parameters of the ligands (HL I and HL II ) were obtained from calculations including the energies of the highest occupied molecular orbital (E HOMO ) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E LUMO ) as listed in Table 4. Additional parameters such as HOMO-LUMO energy gap, ΔE ⁎ , absolute electronegativities, χ, chemical potentials, Pi, absolute hardness, η, absolute softness, σ, global electrophilicity, ω, global softness, S, and additional electronic charge, ΔN max , were calculated using the following equations [17,28]:…”
