Abstract The effect of bond functions on the topological properties of the bonds is studied by performing Hartree-Fock calculations for O2, Cl2, F2, CN−, N2 and LiCl molecules. The results show that bond functions increse the degree of covalency of the bonds and the electronic density at the (3, −1) bond critical point. This effect is quite noticeable for intermediate interactions molecules (F2 and CN−) where a $$\nabla _{\rho _{crit} }^2〈 0$$ is obtained instead of a positive value. The optimal position of the bond functions seems to be at or near the (3, −1) bond critical point.
