The NDDO (Neglect of Diatomic Differential Overlap) approximation is the basis for the MNDO, AMI, and PM3 methods. In addition to the integralsused in the INDO methods, they have an additional class of electron repulsion integrals. This class includes the overlap density between two orbitals centered on the same atom interacting with the overlap density between two orbitals also centered on a single (but possibly different) atom. This is a significant step toward calculatin g th e effects of electron -electron in teraction s on different atoms. 

The neglect of diatomic differential overlap approximation used in the semi-empirical methods reduces these formulae to much simpler formulae that can be computed quite rapidly,... 

The partial neglect of differential overlap (PNDO) method, originally referred to as the partial neglect of diatomic differential overlap (PNDDO) introduced by Dewar and Klopman 28>, is to date the only method to adopt... 

The Neglect of Diatomic Differential Overlap (NDDO) Methods... 

It has been customary to classify methods by the nature of the approximations made. In this sense CNDO, INDO (or MINDO), and NDDO (Neglect of Diatomic Differential Overlap) form a natural progression in which the neglect of differential overlap is applied less and less fully. It is now clearer that there is a deeper division between methods, related to their objectives. On the one hand are approximate methods which set out to mimic the ab initio molecular orbital results. The objective here is simply to find a more economical method. On the other hand, some workers, recognizing the defects of the MO scheme, aim to produce more accurate results by the extensive use of parameters obtained from experimental data. This latter approach appears to be theoretically unsound since the formalism of the single-determinant wavefunction and the Hartree-Fock equations is retained. It can be argued that the use of the single-determinant wavefunction prevents the consistent achievement of predictions better than those obtained by the ab initio scheme where no further...

Semi-empirical calculations for the simple vinyl cation C2H3+ have been reported by Hoffmann (1964) and by Yonezawa et ad., (1968). More rigorous calculations by Sustmann et ad. (1969) are based on a semi-empirical method based on the neglect of diatomic differential overlap (NDDO) calibrated to results of ab initio Hartree-Fock-Roothaan SCF calculations. Recent work by Hopkinson et al. (1971) is entirely based on a non-empirical LCAO-MO-SCF method.
