Approximate Self-Consistent Molecular Orbital Theory. I. Invariant Procedures
Abstract
A general discussion of approximate methods for obtaining self-consistent molecular orbitals for all valence electrons of large molecules is presented. It is shown that the procedure of neglecting differential overlap in electron-interaction integrals (familiar in π-electron theory) without further adjustment may lead to results which are not invariant to simple transformations of the atomic orbital basis set such as rotation of axes or replacement of s, p orbitals by hybrids. The behavior of approximate methods in this context is examined in detail and two schemes are found which are invariant to transformations among atomic orbitals on a given atom. One of these (the simpler but more approximate) involves the complete neglect of differential overlap (CNDO) in all basis sets connected by such transformations. The other involves the neglect of diatomic differential overlap (NDDO) only, that is only products of orbitals on different atoms being neglected in the electron-repulsion integrals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
