Abstract
For combination and extension of physical and chemical approaches, instead of the BCS Theory in momentum space for lowT c superconductors, we propose the position-space theory for highT c superconductors using quantum chemistry of moleculargeminal orbital and valence-bond states. Our spectroscopy related vibronic geminals and vibronic ‘Covalons’ will serve as Boson-state quasi-particles. With emphasis on equal-minima double-well potential, besides the Jahn-Teller effect we consider the Renner-Teller effect because of thegeminals and cyclic crystal boundary. It will have “first-order” vibronic degenerate perturbation in addition to the second-order perturbation energies of BCS and Bipolaron theories.

YNC is in honor of Prof. István Kovács whose distinguished works on spectroscopy were highly appreciated when YNC was a post doctor in 1962 at the late Prof. Robert Mulliken’s Laboratory of Molecular Structure and Spectra. He and fellow chemists were also very impressed by Prof. Kovács’s book entitled “Rotational Structure in the Spectra of Diatomic Molecules”. YNC is grateful for Prof. Kovács′ inspirations that encourage him to continue works on the theory of molecular structure and spectroscopy.
