A number of types of calculations begin with a HF calculation and then correct for correlation. Some of these methods are Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MPn, where n is the order of correction), the generalized valence bond (GVB) method, multi-conhgurational self-consistent held (MCSCF), conhgu-ration interaction (Cl), and coupled cluster theory (CC). As a group, these methods are referred to as correlated calculations. 

An MCSCF calculation in which all combinations of the active space orbitals are included is called a complete active space self-consistent held (CASSCF) calculation. This type of calculation is popular because it gives the maximum correlation in the valence region. The smallest MCSCF calculations are two-conhguration SCF (TCSCF) calculations. The generalized valence bond (GVB) method is a small MCSCF including a pair of orbitals for each molecular bond. 

A configuration interaction calculation uses molecular orbitals that have been optimized typically with a Hartree-Fock (FIF) calculation. Generalized valence bond (GVB) and multi-configuration self-consistent field (MCSCF) calculations can also be used as a starting point for a configuration interaction calculation.

In spite of its simplicity this approach, supplemented with Blatt s correction [.3] for lattice distortion, was applied successfully for decades [4, 5] in studies of systematics in the residual resistivity. Its power was the exact treatment of the scattering and the use of the Friedel sum rule [1] as a self-consistency condition ensuring a correct valency difference between impurity and host atom. 

Figure 4 The wind valence in A1 along the migration path. The initial and saddle point positions are at the origin and at 0.5 respectively. The lower curve is for Cu, the upper curves are for self-electromigration. The dashed and the dotted curve show the influence of a Cu atom at positions 1 and 2 of Fig. 3 respectively, on the wind force in pure A1 (thick curve).

For planar unsaturated and aromatic molecules, many MO calculations have been made by treating the a and n electrons separately. It is assumed that the o orbitals can be treated as localized bonds and the calculations involve only the tt electrons. The first such calculations were made by Hiickel such calculations are often called Hiickel molecular orbital (HMO) calculations Because electron-electron repulsions are either neglected or averaged out in the HMO method, another approach, the self-consistent field (SCF), or Hartree-Fock (HF), method, was devised. Although these methods give many useful results for planar unsaturated and aromatic molecules, they are often unsuccessful for other molecules it would obviously be better if all electrons, both a and it, could be included in the calculations. The development of modem computers has now made this possible. Many such calculations have been made" using a number of methods, among them an extension of the Hiickel method (EHMO) and the application of the SCF method to all valence electrons. ... 

Advantages of small metal nanoparticles are (i) short range ordering, (ii) enhanced interaction with environments due to the high number of dangling bonds, (iii) great variety of the valence band electron structure, and (iv) self-structuring for optimum performance in chemisorption and catalysis. 

In this paper a method [11], which allows for an a priori BSSE removal at the SCF level, is for the first time applied to interaction densities studies. This computational protocol which has been called SCF-MI (Self-Consistent Field for Molecular Interactions) to highlight its relationship to the standard Roothaan equations and its special usefulness in the evaluation of molecular interactions, has recently been successfully used [11-13] for evaluating Eint in a number of intermolecular complexes. Comparison of standard SCF interaction densities with those obtained from the SCF-MI approach should shed light on the effects of BSSE removal. Such effects may then be compared with those deriving from the introduction of Coulomb correlation corrections. To this aim, we adopt a variational perturbative valence bond (VB) approach that uses orbitals derived from the SCF-MI step and thus maintains a BSSE-free picture. Finally, no bias should be introduced in our study by the particular approach chosen to analyze the observed charge density rearrangements. Therefore, not a model but a theory which is firmly rooted in Quantum Mechanics, applied directly to the electron density p and giving quantitative answers, is to be adopted. Bader s Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAM) [14, 15] meets nicely all these requirements. Such a theory has also been recently applied to molecular crystals as a valid tool to rationalize and quantitatively detect crystal field effects on the molecular densities [16-18].

In contrast to the lack of recognition for his valency theory, Frankland s work in organometallic compounds attracted considerable attention. When the city of Manchester opened England s first provincial university, Frankland was appointed its chemistry professor. Frankland was a self-made man, and Manchester was a city of self-made men made rich by Britain s textile industry. Its university was a new kind of institution for Britain. It was wholly secular, and its professors were chosen by merit, rather than by the established Church of England. Furthermore, the students—all male, of course—were admitted without regard to religion, rank, or social status.
