22. 2 and, to a smaller extent, for FNO, the VB structural weights of Tables 4 and 7 indicate that there is substantial delocalization of oxygen lone-pair electrons into the AOs that are associated with N-F σ bond formation. Electronic delocalization could be evidenced in MO calculations either by performing a density analysis within the atoms-in-molecule framework (Bader, R. F. W. Atoms in Molecules: a Quantum Theory; O.U.P.: Oxford, 1990)
23. or by using the electron localisation procedure (Silvi, B.; Savin, A. Nature 1994, 371, 683)
