31. The description of the MO in terms of fragment MO coefficients in stead of Gross Mulliken contributions yields the same picture but it has the disadvantage of not being normalized, that is, the figures do not add up to 1 (or to 100%)

33. The C-M bond distance also increases along Li-Rb because of the increasing number of metal core shells that enter into Pauli repulsion with closed shells on the methyl fragment. For a detailed discussion of how Pauli repulsion affects bond distances, see: Bickelhaupt FM, DeKock RL, Baerends EJ (2002) J Am Chem Soc 124:1500-1505
34. More subtle effects begin to play a role from K to Rb as the covalent character of the bond, and especially changes therein, become smaller
