Requirements of Orbital Phase Continuity Revisited: A FMO Ap-Proach

Abstract

<div> <p>Cyclic orbital interaction, in which a series of orbitals interact with each other so as to make a monocyclic system, affords stabilization if the requirements of orbital phase continuity are satisfied. Initially, these requirements were derived from the consideration of a three-body system. Here I propose that these requirements can be easily derived by considering FMO theory. </p> </div>
