Abstract

AbstractDifferent methods of averaging of energy over the states of electronic configurations γN (nγ = 1, 2, 3 and N = 1, 2, …, 2nγ − 1) leading to Roothaan' energy expression are considered. The consequent values of vector coupling coefficients (VCC) in energy functionals for various states as well as for average values of energy are presented.It is shown also that in molecular systems of cubic and tetragonal symmetry having electronic configurations tN (N = 2–4) and e2 there exist states for which VCC are dependent on the choice of basis set of degenerate open‐shell molecular orbitals. The origin of such “non‐Roothaan” terms and peculiarities of its calculation by the restricted Hartree–Fock method are discussed.
