In this contribution we are not talking about the use of different fragments in EDA, but about different dissociation routes that lead to the same dissociated fragments. The fact that considering different fragments in EDA gives different results is well-known. For instance, if we analyze the chemical bond in LiF, considering Li + and F -as fragments, EDA indicates that covalency represents only 8% of stabilizing interactions. In contrast, if the fragments are chosen to be radicals, F• and Li•, the covalency of LiF increases to 91%. One could wonder whether either the ionic or the radical fragmentation is the best option to discuss the bonding of LiF. Both fragmentations have arguments in favor. On the one hand, the radical fragments should be preferred because, for the gas-phase LiF molecule, the homolytic dissociation costs less energy than the heterolytic one, following the IUPAC recommendation of minimumrupture energy. However, in the equilibrium geometry, the electronic distribution is closer to Li + and F -ions than to F• and Li• radicals. Using one or the other fragmentation scheme is a matter of choice and, in principle, both are acceptable, despite the results can differ enormously.
