We study the quantum discord (QD) and the classical correlations (CC) in a reference model for strongly correlated electrons, the one-dimensional bond-charge extended Hubbard model. We show that the comparison of QD and CC and of their derivatives in the direct and reciprocal lattice allows one to efficiently inspect the structure of two-points driven quantum phase transitions, discriminating those at which off diagonal long-range order (ODLRO) is involved. Moreover, we observe that QD between pair of sites is a monotonic function of ODLRO, thus establishing a direct relation between the latter and two point quantum correlations that differ from the entanglement. The study of the ground-state properties allows us to show that for a whole class of permutation invariant (eta-pair) states quantum discord can violate the monogamy property, both in presence and in absence of bipartite entanglement. In the thermodynamic limit, due to the presence of ODLRO, the violation for eta-pair states is maximal, while, for the purely fermionic ground state, it is finite. From a general perspective, all our results validate the importance of the concepts of QD and CC for the study of critical condensed-matter systems.
