“…106,135 Computational studies based on DFT are commonly employed to illustrate the donor-acceptor nature of the two interacting species. [136][137][138][139] Various important electronic parameters, such as the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO), and associated energies (E HOMO and E LUMO ), their energy difference (DE), electronegativity, electron affinity, and the fraction of electrons transferred between the inhibitor and metal, are determined from DFT calculations. The electronic distribution in the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs i.e., HOMO and LUMO) is admirably an important aspect in understanding the electron-donating or accepting sites.…”
