Abstract

Configuration Interaction based on floating occupation Hartree–Fock molecular orbitals has proved to be an useful tool in the study of photochemical reactions. In this paper we describe a method for the calculation of the molecular energy gradient of a CI type wavefunction built with orbitals obtained from a semiempirical Hartree–Fock calculation using floating occupation numbers with gaussian broadening. Our method is tested by computing potential energy curves for the acetone photodissociation reaction.
