  abstract  = {The main aim of this work was the classification of highly polar E-N (E = Al, Si, P) and Li-E' (E' = C, N, O) bonds in terms of ionic (closed-shell) or covalent (shared) interactions. To answer this question the experimentally determined electron density was analyzed using Bader's theory of 'Atoms in Molecules' (AIM). This allows a quantitative evaluation of properties derived from the electron density, such as the Laplacian, the ellipticitiy and the ratio of the highest charge concentration perpendicular to the bond path, to the largest charge depletion along the bonding vector. Most of these properties were monitored along the entire bonding region and not limited to the BCP as in former studies. The analyses are completed by the calculation of the electronic energy densities Hl at the BCPs and the integration of atomic basins also defined within the AIM theory. The electrostatic potential (ESP) was computed from the multipole parameters to reveal preferred reactive sites of the structures under investigation. Apart from that, the multipole formalism was applied to problematic crystal structures in order to open this method for twinned samples or those including disordered groups in the molecule.},
