  We use a new interpretation of the chemical bond within QTAIM. The bond-path
framework set $\mathbb{B} = \{p, q, r\}$ with associated linkages with lengths
$\mathbb{H}^*,m\mathbb{H}$ and the familiar bond-path length is used to
describe a torsion $\theta$, $0.0^{\circ} \leq \theta \lt 22.0^{\circ}$ of
\emph{para}-substituted biphenyl, $\mathrm{C}_{12}\mathrm{H}_{9-x}$, $x =
\mathrm{N}(\mathrm{CH}_3)_2$, $\mathrm{NH}_2$, $\mathrm{CH}_3$, CHO, CN,
$\mathrm{NO}_{2}$. We include consideration of the H---H bonding interactions
and find that the lengths $\mathbb{H} \gt \mathbb{H}^{*}$ that we explain in
terms of the most and least preferred directions of charge density
accumulation. We also consider the fractional eigenvector-following path
lengths $\mathbb{H}_f$ and $\mathbb{H}_{f{\theta_{\rm min}}}$.
