Abstract

Ab initio LCAO‐MO‐SCF Gaussian basis function calculations have been performed for chlorpromazine and promazine. By prescreening for the size of the integrals before calculation, it was only necessary to calculate 12 million out of the possible 38.5 million integrals for chlorpromazine. By a novel procedure of processing the integral tapes for the SCF it was possible to cut down significantly on the amount of time for the SCF. The SCF calculations converged smoothly for both promazine and chlorpromazine. There is a sizeable energy gap between the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbitals in these molecules (which is of the order of −0.3 a.u.) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (which is of the order of + 0.15 a.u.). The gross atomic populations of chlorpromazine and promazine resemble each other and differ only somewhat on the carbon atom to which the substituent is attached and the carbons and their hydrogens adjacent to it.
