Investigate orbital hybridization schemes and electronic configurations in carbon atoms constrained to non-tetrahedral geometries.
Evaluated bonding interactions and atomic orbital mixing ratios in geometrically distorted and planar carbon centers using quantum chemical models.
Demonstrated that non-tetrahedral geometries depart significantly from classical sp3 hybridization through rehybridization and modified s-p mixing.
Showed that geometric deformation redistributes electron density into non-equivalent bonding orbitals to stabilize unconventional bond angles.
