An analytical LCAO MO perturbation approach has been developed for treating the electronic structure and some properties of octet angular AL2 and trigonal pyramidal AL2 compounds where the main group atom A is not of highest oxidation state, A (NHOS), and has a “quasi-lone pair”,(QLP). The formation of a QLP has been considered as an orthogonalization problem for the three-orbital four-electron (3o-4e) valence interactions within the A] irreducible representation of the AL „, compounds in question. The criteria of a QLP such as localization, sp1? hybridization, and bondingcharacter havebeen discussed. It has been shown that the chemically and sterically active QLPs always correspond to the 2ai MOs with the nodal structure resulting in s antibonding and p bonding contributions to the AL bond strengths. For this reason the QLPs may be bonding, nonbonding, or antibonding depending on the relative values of the opposing s and p contributions so that changes of the initial AL „, molecularproperties under coordination LmA-» X may be different depending on A, L, and the properties themselves. It has been shown that by the proper sp orthogonalization the electronic structure of the mentioned A (NHOS) molecules can be reduced to the 4o-4e bonding which is typical for linear AL2 and trigonal planar AL3 molecules where A is of the highest oxidation state, A (HOS), and which has been considered earlier. The energy orders, composition, and nodal structures of the LCAO MOs as well as the effects of substitution of L by L'on the AL bond strengths (lengths) have been presented in explicit form and agree with the known experimental and computational data. Thedeveloped model permits the fundamental regularities of the electronic structures andproperties of the octet AL2 and AL2 molecules to be explained and predicted.
