PI
¶
The normal density matrix is composed of atomic orbitals, that is s,
px, py and pz. PI
allows the user
to see how each atom-atom interaction is split into σ, π, and Δ
bonds. The resulting “density matrix” is composed of the following
basis-functions: s-σ, p-σ, p-π, d-σ, d-π, d-δ. The on-diagonal terms
give the hybridization state, so that an sp2 hybridized system
would be represented as s-σ: 1.0, p-σ: 2.0, p-π: 1.0.
