Abstract
A modified Aufbau principle for the excited states of molecules is presented. This principle is based on generalized valence bond orbitals (with spatial projection) rather than the traditional molecular orbitals. The excited orbital is modeled after the series of one-electron heteronuclear diatomic molecules. These ideas are illustrated for the case of the excited 1,3Σ + states of H 2.
