What Does BOA Stand For?
BOA stands for Bidirectional Orbital Approximation In Valence Bond Theory
BOA, or Bidirectional Orbital Approximation in Valence Bond Theory, is a theoretical framework used in quantum chemistry to describe the electronic structure of molecules. This approach integrates the fundamental principles of valence bond theory with a bidirectional perspective, allowing for a more accurate representation of electron correlation and bonding interactions. By approximating molecular orbitals in a bidirectional manner, BOA enhances the understanding of chemical bonding and reactivity, contributing to more precise calculations in computational chemistry and aiding the interpretation of molecular phenomena.
