Popis: The CH bond dissociation energy in the CH n molecular series is found to correlate with the Mulliken overlap population, n(C, H). The latter is calculated via an iterative extended Huckel procedure which does not involve any adjustable constants of molecular origin. The correlation is further improved when n(C, H) is divided by the cube of the experimental bond distance and normalized with respect to the CH species.
