Stucture, bonding and reactivity in alkyne analogs

除了元素周期表，没有什么比化学键的概念更基本的了。化学键的模型最初是用来解释实验观察和指导新的实验的，随着外来和深奥化合物的合成增加，化学键的模型变得越来越复杂。所有模型的核心是最初的路易斯电子对概念。量子化学的出现帮助巩固了这一概念，计算量子化学的进步自此完善并拓宽了化学键的定义。它还提供了一种检查分子概念的方法，目前由于某些合成限制而无法获得。

Aside from maybe the periodic table, there is nothing more fundamental to chemistry than the concept of the chemical bond. Models of the chemical bond, originally suggested to explain experimental observations and to guide new experiments, have become more and more elaborate as the synthesis of exotic and esoteric chemical compounds has increased. Central to all models is the original electron pair concept of Lewis. The advent of quantum chemistry helped solidify this concept and advances in computational quantum chemistry have since refined and broadened the definition of the chemical bond. It has also provided a means of examining the concept in molecules that are currently unavailable due to certain synthetic limitations.
