The use ofa pseudopotential to replace the core electron density within electronic structure calculations of Kohn-Sham type is proposed. An heuristic derivation of such a potential is given. Within the local exchange-correlation scheme, the pseudopotential employed is precisely equivalent to solving

✦ Synopsis
A non-local core pseudopotential has been applied within a basis offloating spherical Gaussian orbitals (FSGO) to neutral and charged atoms and small molecules containing first-row cores. IIydrides with lone-pair valence orbitals were examined without variational collapse. The results for the valence-shell energy, molecular structure and electron distribution agree much better with full FSGO calculations than those from any previous pseudopotential. For Li-and Be-like systems the FSGO valence-shell energies do not differ significantly from the corresponding valence-shell energies at the Hartree-Fock level.
