What Does NOLMOS Stand For?

NOLMOS stands for Nonorthogonal Strictly Local Molecular Orbitals

NOLMOS, or Nonorthogonal Strictly Local Molecular Orbitals, refers to a theoretical framework in quantum chemistry that focuses on the representation of molecular electronic states using localized orbitals that are nonorthogonal to one another. This approach enhances the understanding of molecular interactions and bonding by allowing for a more detailed analysis of electronic distribution in localized regions of a molecule. NOLMOS facilitates efficient computation and interpretation of electronic properties in complex molecular systems, making it a valuable tool in modern computational chemistry and materials science.
