Abstract

Abstract Focusing on relative stabilities of electronic states with different spin multiplicities of polyatomic molecules, a simplified unrestricted Hartree-Fock (SUHF) procedure is described. Using different orbitals for different spins (DODS), electron correlation effects of both closed-shell and open-shell systems are expected to be taken into account in the simplest way. While working within a symmetrically orthogonalized (Löwdin) basis we make use of the NDDO approximation (neglect of diatomic differential overlap) concerning the evaluation of electron repulsion and nuclear attraction integrals. Originally, a locally orthogonalized all-electron atomic orbital set of Slater type is considered. The approximation method is completely non-empirical. Rotational invariance is fully retained.
