Complete neglect of differential overlap CNDO approach

Ihc complete neglect of differential overlap (CNDO) approach of Pople, Santry and Segal u as the first method to implement the zero-differential overlap approximation in a practical fashion [Pople et al. 1965]. To overcome the problems of rotational invariance, the two-clectron integrals (/c/c AA), where fi and A are on different atoms A and B, were set equal to. 1 parameter which depends only on the nature of the atoms A and B and the ii ilcniuclear distance, and not on the type of orbital. The parameter can be considered 1.0 be the average electrostatic repulsion between an electron on atom A and an electron on atom B. When both atomic orbitals are on the same atom the parameter is written , A tiiid represents the average electron-electron repulsion between two electrons on an aiom A.
