Abstract
A single‐determinant open‐shell formalism for complex molecular orbitals is developed. An iterative algorithm for solving the resulting secular equations is constructed. It is based on a sequence of similarity transformations and matrix triangularizations.

## Abstract In the spirit of Löwdin's extended HF scheme, an SCF method for the description of the molecular ground state, based on complex molecular orbitals, is developed. As a special case the method of parity mixing in orbitals is formulated. A calculational procedure for solving derived secula
In (restricted) open-shell Hartree-Fock theory, the ebenvalues of the effective hamiltonian do not have the &al significance as negative jonization potentials (Koopmans' theorem). By defii orbital energies in terms of certain en-. ergyexpectation values, it is possible to obtain analogues of Koopman
A form of open shell perturbation theory that is invariant with respect to orbital degeneracy is proposed. This new methodology is based entirely on the spin-restricted formalism. Preliminary numerical results are presented and compared with other formulations of perturbation theory.
Numerical analysis revealed that the closed-shell complex molecular-orbital (CMO) wavefunctron. which describesa signifrcant part of the electron correlation in molecules, may be transformed mto a very simple pairing form. This feature of the CM0 method IS essential for developmg an efficient compl
