The recently developed X-ray constrained extremely localized molecular orbital (XC-ELMO) technique is a potentially useful tool for the determination and analysis of experimental electron densities. Molecular orbitals strictly localized on atoms, bonds or functional groups allow one to combine the quantum-mechanical rigour of the wavefunction-based approaches with the easy chemical interpretability typical of the traditional multipole models. In this paper, using very high quality X-ray diffraction data for the glycylglycine crystal, a detailed assessment of the capabilities and limitations of this new method is given. In particular, the effects of constraining the ELMO wavefunctions to experimental X-ray structure-factor amplitudes and the ability of the method to reproduce benchmark electron distributions have been accurately investigated. Topological analysis of the XC-ELMO electron densities and of the zero-flux surface-integrated charges and dipole moments shows that the new strategy is already reliable, provided that sufficiently flexible basis sets are used. These analyses also raise new questions and call for further improvements of the method.

CNDO/2 calculations have been made for simple models of the adsorption of (CH3)2CHZ molecules (Z = Cl, OH, NH2, and SH) on the surface of polar catalysts. The results of these calculations and their interpretation by the method of configuration analysis in terms of uniformly localized molecular orbitals made it possible to explain satisfactorily a series of experimental facts. The mechanism and stereoselectivity of the reaction as well as reactivity trends for the series of the molecules studied are discussed.
