✦ Synopsis

The details of a simple and efficient scheme for performing variational biorthogonal valence bond calculations are presented. A variational bound on the energy functional is obtained through the use of a complete configuration expansion in a well-chosen subset of orbitals. The resultant wave functions are clearly dominated by the covalent (spin-coupled) structures, with a negligible contribution from ionic structures. The orbitals obtained compare favorably with overlap enhanced atomic orbitals obtained by other valence bond approaches. The method is illustrated by calculations on water and dioxygen difluoride.

The variational biorthogonal valence bond method is applied to the r-electrons of six 1,3-dipoles (CH,N,, HCNO, CH,NHO, N,O, 0,, NO,). The results are compared with those from other valence bond techniques, including a detailed comparison with the spin-coupled valence bond approach. For CH, N,, HCNO
