A new algorithm for fitting atomic charges to molecular electrostatic potentials is presented. This method is non-iterative and rapid compared to previous work. Results from a variety of gaussian basis sets, including STO-3G, 3-21G and 6-31G*, are presented. Charges for a representative collection o

✦ Synopsis
Corrected Mulliken charges obtained from the charge-charge flux-overlap model of infrared intensities and atomic charges derived from molecular electrostatic potentials are found to be of comparable quality at the AM I and the MNDO levels of the molecular orbital approximation. At the MNDO level both hinds of charge have similar values for hydrogen, oxygen and carbon atoms in several molecules, but the corrected Mulliken charges are more stable with respect to change ofwavefunction from AM1 to MNDO.
