Abstract
A composite wave variational method for calculating molecular orbitals has been developed and successfully applied to elementary molecules, say H +2 , C2, LiH, and CH4. The good results, together with the flexibility and computational simplicity of the method, suggest that it will be a useful tool for investigating the electronic structure and related properties of complex, polyatomic molecules.
