Abstract
Zero-differential overlap calculations are compared with minimal basis set ab-initio calculations in order to assess their validity in the interpretation of experimental electron density maps. Various indices of bond character and thermally averaged electron density maps are used as criteria of comparison. It is concluded that charge distributions obtained from the ZDO methods will be valuable in the interpretation of experimental results.
