Frontier molecular orbital theory

In chemistry, frontier molecular orbital theory is an application of molecular orbital theory describing HOMO–LUMO interactions. == History == In 1952, Kenichi Fukui published a paper in the Journal of Chemical Physics titled "A molecular theory of reactivity in aromatic hydrocarbons." Though widely criticized at the time, he later shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Roald Hoffmann for his work on reaction mechanisms.
