On non-negativity of Fukui function indices

Abstract: In this paper we have analyzed the factors which cause Fukui function (FF) indices to be negative, when evaluated in condensed form through crude finite difference approximation. Inability to take care of the relaxation effect and improper charge partitioning techniques have been cited to be the probable reasons. For the first time, we have shown that the “stockholders” charge partitioning technique (i.e., Hirshfeld’s analysis) produces non-negative FF values which, when evaluated through other kinds of charge… Show more

“…CHELPG analysis sometimes agrees with the others and sometimes it does not. What is more, it often produces negative values of atomic softnesses, which are somewhat questionable [87]. They are most probably due to the statistical inaccuracy introduced by the chargefitting procedure.…”

“…De las Tablas 4 y 6, en ambas fases se observa la ocurrencia de valores negativos para FF. De acuerdo con Roy y colaboradores, 75 estos valores negativos se deben a que en la definición analítica de FF, dicha función es válida solamente cuando ΔN à 0. Para tal caso, la fluctuación en la distribución de la densidad electrónica es mínima, ya que la respectiva relajación en la especie catiónica o aniónica es despreciable.…”

“…Para tal caso, la fluctuación en la distribución de la densidad electrónica es mínima, ya que la respectiva relajación en la especie catiónica o aniónica es despreciable. 75 Sin embargo, en la definición de f k α condensada (calculada por el método de diferencias finitas), se permite que el número de electrones cambie en una cantidad mayor que uno y como resultado se da un cambio significativo en la distribución de la densidad electrónica, principalmente debido a una relajación significativa en las especies catiónicas y aniónicas. Lo anterior, trae consigo la Tabla 6.…”

“…[23][24][25][26] A negative Fukui function value means that when adding an electron to the molecule, in some spots the electron density is reduced, alternatively when removing an electron from the molecule, in some spots the electron density grows larger. This is counterintuitive.…”
