In a very recent article (Torrent-Sucarrat et al., J Comput Chem 2007, 28, 574), we have shown how to evaluate the global hardness for polyatomic molecules using a hardness kernel approximation. We present here an extension of this previous work by improving the model used to evaluate the hardness kernel and the Fukui function. In addition, the concept of the local hardness is analyzed in detai...
