Exchange holes in molecules can be delocalized over several centers, thus throwing into question their approximation by local density functionals. This work introduces a simple model which detects delocalization in molecules through a local variable related to kinetic energy density. A local exchange functional is derived that reproduces exact-exchange atomization energies of molecules with relatively low error. This has important implications for the simplification of "hybrid" density-functional theories which contain an exactly computed exchange term. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
