Abstract

The application of perturbational expressions to the development of a novel set of approaches to embedding, i.e. constructive embedding, is presented. The most powerful of these approaches begins by exploiting the recently-recognized, free-electron-model-derived method for rapidly enumerating all possible embeddings for unbranched polyenes or polyenyls. Thereafter, one can employ constructive elaboration of new molecules which will have known embeddability.
