The indirect components of chemical interactions between atomic orbitals are explored within the Orbital Communication Theory of the chemical bond. The conditional probabilities for such through-bridge probability propagation and the associated entropy/information measures of the bond covalency are examined. The illustrative example of the bridge components of the chemical bonds between bridgehead carbons in small propellanes is discussed using the hybrid-orbital model. The bridge pi-bonds in benzene and butadiene from the inter-orbital communications involving the single intermediate atomic orbitals are probed within the Huckel description and selected higher-orders of orbital bridges, involving several orbital intermediaries, are investigated.
