Abstract
Compliance matrices of protonated CO and are calculated using coupled cluster methods and basis sets of quadruple zeta quality. Diagonal elements of the compliance matrices are used as unique bond strength descriptors. Going from CO (0.052 Å/mdyn) to the C–O bond is weakened (0.062 Å/mdyn), while the C–O bond in is getting stronger (0.045 Å/mdyn). After protonation, the N–N bond strength is getting stronger (from 0.043 to 0.042 Å/mdyn), too. The invariance of compliance matrix elements under completion of to a complete set of internal coordinates is demonstrated.
