Abstract

It is shown that correlations between neighboring tetrahedral orbital contribute about twice as much to the valence shell correlation energies of neon and methane, as the correlations within the four doubly occupied (“bonds”) tetrahedral pairs. “Non-bonded attractions” are thus not negligible but may be an important part of the correlation energies of saturated molecules.
