Born-Haber-Fajans Cycle Generalized: Linear Energy Relation between Molecules, Crystals, and Metals

Classical procedures to calculate ion-based lattice potential energies (UPOT) assume formal integral charges on the structural units; consequently, poor results are anticipated when significant covalency is present. To generalize the procedures beyond strictly ionic solids, a method is needed for ca...
