Abstract. The nature of bonding in several hypervalent molecules was analyzed at the ab initio SCF level using the recently proposed methodology based on the analysis of domain-averaged Fermi holes. The results of the analysis demonstrate that, for sufficiently flexible basis sets, the expansion of the valence shell does indeed take place for second row central atoms in PF5, SF4, and SF6. On the other...
