What Does UOVMO Stand For?

UOVMO stands for Unoccupied Valence Type Mol Orbital

UOVMO, or Unoccupied Valence Type Molecular Orbital, refers to a specific category of molecular orbitals in computational chemistry. These orbitals are characterized by their involvement in valence electron interactions but are not filled with electrons in a given molecular configuration. UOVMOs are crucial for understanding electronic transitions, reactivity, and the overall electronic structure of molecules, particularly in the context of predicting how molecules will interact with photons and other reactants. Their analysis aids in elucidating phenomena such as absorption spectra and reaction mechanisms.
