Abstract

The present study shows that a successful description of the electron density in a Ga-containing compound using the present multipole model requires separation and independent radial scaling of the three Ga core shells. It is also shown that two similar compounds only differing in the oxidation state of the Ga atom provides similar residual density maps and thus the deficiencies in the standard multipole model are very similar in the two cases. Nevertheless, we find two fundamentally different core modified multipole models. It is found that introduction of the modified core parameters in the modelling of the experimental data has no significant impact. An analysis of the ELI-D is introduced to study the localization of electrons in the Ga-guanidinate moiety. There is a clear analogy between the Laplacian and the ELI-D, however the latter is able to reveal details from the total density which is not available in the Laplacian. Only in an analysis of the valence density alone can the Laplacian reveal the finer details.
