Abstract

A method is proposed for applying the theory of generalized group functions to SCF-GF calculations with large basis sets. A simple procedure for localising the SCF-MO's resulting from a standard SCF calculation is described, with applications to H2O, NH3, CH4 and H2O2. Results compare quite favourably with those obtained by the usual GF method. It is shown that when basis functions are the SCF-MO's and there are only two functions per group, the GF approach is practically equivalent to a configuration interaction treatment where only double excitations within the groups are considered.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird eine Methode zur Anwendung von verallgemeinerten Gruppenfunktionen auf SCF-GF-Rechnungen mit großen Basissätzen vorgeschlagen. Ferner wird ein einfaches Verfahren zur Lokalisierung von SCF-MO's angegeben und auf H2O, NH3, CH4 und H2O2 angewendet. Die Resultate sind denen üblicher GF-Methoden ähnlich. Wenn als Basisfunktionen SCF-Funktionen, und zwar nur zwei je Gruppe, angewendet werden, ist der GF-Ansatz praktisch einer CI-Rechnung mit maximal Zweifachanregungen äquivalent.

Résumé

On propose une méthode pour appliquer la théorie des fonctions de groupes généralisés à des calculs SCF GF dans des bases de grande dimension. Un procédé de localisation simple est décrit, il permet de localiser les orbitales SCF ordinaires et est appliqué à H2O,NH3, CH4 et H2O2. Les résultats obtenus sont comparables à ceux fournis par la méthode GF ordinaire. Lorsque les fonctions de base sont les O.M. S.C.F. et qu'il n'y a que deux fonctions par groupe, la méthode GF est pratiquement équivalente à une interaction de configuration où seules seraient prises en considération les diexcitations à l'intérieur des groupes.
