## Abstract The performance of a recently proposed scaled one‐electron Hamiltonian (SOEH) model is tested against parallel sets of restricted open‐shell calculations by the method of Roothaan. It is found that the energy calculated by SOEH model, in general, lies slightly higher than the energy com

Abstract
An approximate technique of generating orthonormality‐constrained one‐electron orbitals for the description of open‐shell systems is suggested. The “off‐diagonal Lagrangian‐multiplier problem” is circumvented by using a common potential for both the closed‐ and open‐shell electrons. This common potential is generated by a scaling of the usual exchange potential of Hartree–Fock theory. The problem of choosing an appropriate scaling parameter (μ) is considered from both variational and perturbative points of view. The relationship of the present method with some other approximate open‐shell theories is explored. The numerical results of computations carried out at the semiempirical MO level are presented in order to bring to light the dependence of computed molecular properties on the magnitude of the scaling parameter.
