## Abstract Introduction of noninteger powers of __r__ (or the elliptical coordinate ξ) in the definition of the 1__s__ AO is shown to give better approximate wave‐functions for the ground states of H~2~ and He than other functions of comparable complexity. This trend is examined for various defini

Abstract
We investigated various nonstandard 1__s__ basis functions (generalized Slater‐Gaussian, ellipsoidal Gaussian, floating spherical and ellipsoidal Gaussian, rational function, Hulthén approximation, two‐Slater‐type orbital, generalized Guillemin–Zener function, and various noninteger‐n elliptical orbitals) for approximating the ^1^Σ ground state of H~2~ and He~2~^++^. A CI trial wave‐function including Σ~g~‐type MO's is adopted and molecular integrals are evaluated numerically. The energy improvement on the 1__s__ STO is small except for noninteger‐n orbitals which closely approach the “SCF limit”.
