Description

Atomic electronegativity proposed by Burden [1989]. He assigned electronegativity values to C, H, N, O, F, Cl, Br, I, P and S atoms to include information on the electronic environment of an organic molecule when constructing the Burden Matrix.

Where defined

morpho/atomic_properties/detail/atomic_properties.hpp.

Namespace

morpho::atomic_props

Inherits from

Is part of the morpho/atomic_properties properties.

Arguments

Example

morpho::atomic_props::atomic_properties<> const *
  hydrogen = morpho::atomic_props::atom<>::get_props( "H" );
std::cout << "Burden electronegativity for the Hydrogen atom : ";
std::cout << hydrogen.burden_electroneg << '\n';
