Valence orbital ionization potential (VOIP)
Hello everybody, I'm here again 
This time I want to discuss about VOIP. I found this concept in a book, bui I didn't manage to understand what really is it. Surfing the web I succeed
only in finding papers I can't read, 'cause they're in scientific journal, but nothing for studying on. Someone can explain me briefly what is this
strange form of ionization potential?

Hope this sheds some light.

But there it talks about generical ionization energy, not about VOIP...

I am a crappy physical chemist...but....
Since electrons are almost always lost/gained from the valence shells, I believe you can interpret the standard, readily available, ionization
potentials of elements as the VOIP.

That's what I thought as well, but I really am not sure either.

No, they are different concept. They also differ numerically. Overallo, VOIP are referrend for each orbital!
For example, for F there is a potential ionization of 17, 42 eV, instead VOIP are 46,4 for the 2s and 18,7 for the 2p...

Good thing I made the disclaimer
Then IDK, but, if you are really interested and no one knows, maybe I can search some databases and find a literature review about it.

Definition of VOIP, with easy calculations can be found (for example) here:
| Code: | http://www.springerlink.de/content/j5w441w1xm643115/ |
.
This article contains very simple mathematics - there is nothing to be afraid of . But you may be not interested in reading "cause they're in scientific journal, but nothing for studying on".

Scientific Journal can't be read online so I can't study on them.
I don't know if you do, but I haven't a online subscription and I was searching, if possible, something to study in the weekend. Obviously if there is
nothing online, on Monday I will search for the article you posted, at the university!
