The heats of formation for 19 molecules have been calculated with PM3 and AM1 semiempirical methods. The values obtained have been compared with experimental heats of formation. With PM3 and AM1 the average differences between calculated and experimental heats of formation are 8.45 and 12.34 kcal mo

β¦ Synopsis
The use of AM1, MNDO, and MNDOC semiempirical MO methods for calculation of heats of formation and ionization potentials of a series of 38 radicals are described. AM1 and MNDO calculations are reported using both half-electron (HE) and Unrestricted Hartree Fock (UHF) wavefunctions. Results show the MNDOC method to give lowest overall errors, being slightly better than the HE-AMI method. In all cases, the AMI method shows considerable improvement over MNDO.

Various nitrogen clusters, N,, are selected for the present theoretical study. The number of nitrogen atoms chosen in this work varies from x = 8 to x = 32. PM3, which is known as one of the best semiempirical methods, is selected for the self-consistent molecular orbital calculations. The geometric
## Abstract Using the Frozen Core (FC) MO procedure described in a previous communication, we have computed the longβwavelength chiroptic properties of oligopeptides in the parallelβchain (PC) pleated sheet conformation, in the poly (Lβproline) **I** and poly (Lβproline) **II** conformations. The m
