In perfect resonance : The electron density distribution is typically used to analyze chemical bonding, even if strong electron delocalization occurs. The electron densities and electric potentials of picoline and the picolyl anion (see picture) have been analyzed and a detailed description of picolyl lithium complexes has been derived. The next goal is to predict chemical reactivity from electron density.
