PLAT794
PLAT794 Type_5 Report the calculated 'Valence Bond' valency for metals
This test reports the valency of an atom as predicted by the Valence
Bond Model. See:
N.E. Brese & M. O'Keeffe (1991) Acta Cryst. B47, 192-197.
I.D. Brown (2002). The Chemical Bond in Inorganic Chemistry:
The Bond Valence Model. Oxford University Press.
More explicit info on the calculations can be obtained by running the
calculations explicitly with the PLATON option BondValence.
NOTE: The underlying theory is empirical and might not apply to the case at
hand (e.g. charged species).
