Abstract

A method to separate the spin density calculated with the unrestricted Hartree–Fock method into components due to spin-polarization and spin-delocalization mechanisms is presented, and applied to some doublet and triplet radicals. The results are examined by means of the UHF natural orbitals and of the open-shell restricted Hartree–Fock orbitals, and the validity of the method is confirmed.
