Another question, I have dinuclear complex includes -Cu1-O(H)-Cu2- (the oxygen of hydroxyl group is coordinated with both Cu-atom). I did NBO analysis and I found the second perterbution energy of LP(3)O-->BDCu1-Cu2 = 72 kJ/mol. The question is how I know which orbital in both Cu1 and Cu2 interact with the lone pair of oxygen (2Pz?? Thanks CCG1
