The Wiberg Bond Index (WBI) is a quantitative measure used in quantum chemistry to assess the strength and character of chemical bonds in molecules. It is derived from the electron density distribution obtained from molecular orbital calculations, typically using methods like Hartree-Fock or Density Functional Theory (DFT). The WBI provides insights into the bond order related to the number of electron pairs shared between two atoms in a molecule.
Applications of the Wiberg Bond Index
The Wiberg Bond Index has several important applications in chemistry:
Bond Order Analysis:
The WBI provides a numerical value that correlates with the bond order. A higher WBI indicates a stronger and potentially multiple bond (e.g., double or triple bond), while a lower WBI indicates a weaker or single bond.
Molecular Structure Elucidation:
By analyzing WBIs, chemists can infer details about the molecular structure and bonding patterns, helping to predict the geometry and reactivity of the molecule.
Comparative Bond Strengths:
WBI values allow for the comparison of bond strengths within a molecule or across different molecules. This is useful in studying isomers and conformers to understand their relative stabilities.
Chemical Reactivity Prediction:
WBIs can indicate regions of higher electron density and stronger bonding, which may be less reactive, versus regions of lower bond order, which might be more prone to chemical reactions.
Study of Transition States:
In computational studies of reaction mechanisms, the WBI can help characterize the changes in bonding as the system progresses from reactants to products, including the identification of transition states.
Analysis of Non-covalent Interactions:
Although primarily used for covalent bonds, WBIs can also provide insights into non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, where a non-integer bond index may reflect the strength of these interactions.
Characterization of Bonding in Exotic Molecules:
For molecules with unusual bonding situations (e.g., hypervalent compounds, aromatic systems, or cluster compounds), the WBI can better understand the electron distribution and bonding characteristics.

Good morning sir Sir I have a protein -DNA complex in which active tyrosine forms and deform the covalent bond with the phosphate of the phosphodiester bond of DNA. To show this reaction mechanism I am interested to do quantum calculation with Gaussian show please guide me.
