✦ Synopsis
An ab initio self-consistent-field (scF) algorithm taking into account all the features of the one-dimensional translational periodicity and the helical symmetry is presented. This algorithm includes the long-range correction to the Coulomb potential and is designed to calculate the band structure of periodic one-dimensional polymers (planar or helical). Its efficiency in terms of computing time and numerical accuracy is tested via applications on a (LiH), chain, polyethylene, and four conformers of polypropylene.

## Abstract An __ab initio__ SCF calculation of 42 points of the energy hypersurface of the fluoronium ion is presented using a contracted F(5__s__/3p), H(2s) gaussian basis set. In its equilibrium structure a bond length of 1.812 a.u. and a HFH bond angle of 127.2° are predicted. The calculated vi
