Abstract

A demonstration of Pauling's pair-defect-sum approximation from the maximum overlap method is presented. It is based on the generalized formula of the bond strength that we obtained for the hybridization of atomic orbitals for systems containing more than 2 ligands. This work indicates that the pair-defect-sum approximation is a reasonable result of the generalized formula, but the expansion terms with its higher power are omitted.
