The Electronic Structure and the Chemical Bonding in NiO and La2NiO4 Crystals : A Comparison with CuO and La2CuO4
Modelling from quantum chemical data of the chemical bonding in NiO and La2NiO4 crystals comparatively to CuO and La2CuO4, is proposed. The increase of the ionicity degree of the Ni(II)–O bonding in comparison with Cu(II)‐O bonding is observed. The covalency is low and equally distributed in the equatorial plane and apical direction in the NiO6 octahedra in La2NiO4. As a supplementary data, which
