Two-center overlap integrals

Taking into accotmt the rotations outlined in section 3.1., the two-center overlap integral can be expressed as ... 

The advantage of this procedure is that the valence orbitals need not be orthogonal to the core orbitals—Le, we can use nodeless functions for the valence orbitals. The price is that the elements of the H and S matrices are not what we should calculate directly without regard to the core orbitals but the expressions above for H and S. This is an advantage rather than a difficulty. To show this, the normalization of the atomic orbitals is chosen such that Su (rather than Sn) = 1. Tables have been presented (1) showing that even with a more severe correction, typical two-center overlap integrals are not modified seriously. 

For most purposes, however, the overlap integrals are not used. Thus they are not used in the approximation for the two-center two-electron integral, or even for the calculation of the overlap matrix in the classical SchrOdinger equation, t H - 5 = 0. Instead, with the three exceptions just mentioned, all two-center overlap integrals (diatomic differential overlap) are ignored in NDDO calculations this is, in fact, the origin of the name of the semiempirical method. 

Coulomb Sturmians (CSs) are an exponential-type complete set of basis functions which satisfy a Sturm-Liouville equation [2]. The main objective of the present work is to derive an ADT for the Slater-type orbitals (STOs), which are the fundamental ETO, and thereby for the CSs, which are a linear combination of STOs. The expression for the two-center overlap integral is then worked out for the CSs as an illustration and numerical results and conclusions are presented. 

A new efficient two-range, point-wise convergent ADT for the CSs and the STOs, that is attractive both in notation and convergence, has been given. The numerical application given are the basic one- and two-center overlap integrals, which demonstrates its value as a first choice ADT for STOs in any relevant applications. 

In equations 31 and 32 Pv and pp. are semiempirical parameters, represents the two electron two center repulsion integrals and Spv is the overlap of Slater type orbitals of the form,... 

As in atomic spectra, the form of Eq. (128) shows why the semi-empirical parameters of w-electron theory tend to include correlation. Zero differential overlap allows the Jif integrals in the H.F. part of Eq. (128) to be broken down into one- and two-center Coulomb integrals. The large difference between the non-and semi-empirical values of these is accounted for by introduc-ingi >i correlation into (2 J . This is justified because the "zero differential overlap can equally well be made in the e fs, reducing them to one- and two-center Coulomb correlation energies.

Next, we consider the simple overlap integral of two such basis functions with different powers of Cartesian coordinates and different Gaussian width, centered at different points. Let nuclei 1 locate at the origin, and let nuclei 2 locate at —R, then... 

Two Slater type orbitals, i andj, centered on the same point results in the following overlap integrals ... 

A molecular orbital is a linear combination of basis functions. Normalization requires that the integral of a molecular orbital squared is equal to 1. The square of a molecular orbital gives many terms, some of which are the square of a basis function and others are products of basis functions, which yield the overlap when integrated. Thus, the orbital integral is actually a sum of integrals over one or two center basis functions. 

The INDO (Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap) differs from CNDO in the treatment of one-center exchange integrals. The CNDO (Complete Neglect of Differential Overlap) treatment retains only the two-electron integrals (p.p. vv) = The Yj y are... 

The two-center one-electron integral Hj y, sometimes called the resonance integral, is approximated in MINDO/3 by using the overlap integral, Sj y, in a related but slightly different manner to... 

The two-center one-electron integrals given by the second equation in (3.74) are written as a product of the corresponding overlap integral times the average of two atomic resonance parameters, (3.

We take a very simple case of a pair of orbitals a and b that can bond. We assume the orbitals are at two different centers. The simplest LCAO approximation to the bonding orbital is cr = A a + b), and the antibonding coimterpart is o = B a — b). Here A = 1/V2(1 + S) and B = 1 /V2(l — S), where S is the overlap integral, are the normalization constants. Consider the simple three-electron doublet wave function...
