51. VSCC refers to the region of charge concentration corresponding to the outermost quantum shell of an atom where the Laplacian of the electronic density is negative (cf. ref 44).
52. A BCP is the point of minimum electronic density ρ(r) along a bond or bond path (cf. ref 44).
53. The bond ellipticity ε is a measure of the extent to which charge preferentially accumulates in a given plane along a bond or bond path. A value of zero reflects the cylindrical symmetry usually associated with single or triple bonds and a value larger than zero is indicative of the elliptical symmetry often associated with double bonds (cf. ref 44).
