## Abstract An analysis is presented that shows how the angular symmetry defects of lobe orbitals constructed from a polyhedric edifice can be accurately evaluated, and how these lobe orbitals can be related to harmonic Gaussian functions, the exponents being tranferred by a scale factor procedure.

Abstract
The topological properties of real spherical harmonic representations on the unit sphere have been found to provide a convenient tool to infer the lobe edifices which mimic these orbitals. The prohibitive number of lobes required in such an approach for l > 2, can be avoided in using only axial Gaussianβlobe orbitals (AGLO). It is proved that 2__l__ + 1 independent Y~lo~βlike functions correctly span the relevant Y~lm~ (m = βl,l) subspace. The multipolar component analysis of any spatial arrangement of lobes is derived, and allows the optimization of the angular dependence of AGLOS. The cases of dβ and fβorbitals are studied in detail and accurate optimized functions are proposed. This method can be easily extended to obtain the atomic orbitals of any azimuthal quantum number lβsubspace.
