Abstract

In an orthogonalized basis, the diagonal element Fμμ of the Fock operator, for a number of semiempirical MO LCAO methods, can be represented by a trinomial which is quadratic with respect to the Mulliken charge. The coefficients differ for different methods, depending on the manner in which the interelectronic interaction is taken into account. From a study, in general form, of the influence of change in the coefficients of the trinomial Fμμ on the bond order matrix, an explanation has been given for certain familiar calculation results: the equalization of the π-charges on going from the Hückel method to the more advanced techniques, and the decrease in the covalent character of metal-ligand bonds when allowance is made for the interelectronic interaction in the calculations for complexes.
