Abstract
A comparison is made of MNDO and MINDO/3 calculations for saturated siliconβcontaining molecules, and with experimental values, for heats of formation, molecular geometries, charge distributions, and ionization potentials. Except for bond angles, it is found that with the published parameter values the MINDO/3 program gives more reliable results than MNDO. For unsaturated molecules, a comparison of bond lengths and stabilities of Si multiple bonds as given by the two programs and ab initio methods is made, and large discrepancies between predicted structures are pointed out. Some reasons for the dicrepancies are discussed.

MNDO has been parametrized for bromine. Since d atomic orbitals (AOs) are not included, the calculations are restricted to Br'. Heats of formation, molecular geometries, ionization energies, and dipole moments are reproduced with useful accuracy.
MNDO has been parametrized for iodine. Since d atomic orbitals (AOS) are not included, the calculations are restricted to 1'. Heats of formation, molecular geometries, ionization energies, and dipole moments are reproduced with useful accuracy.
## Abstract Parametrization of MNDO for aluminum and comparisons of calculated molecular properties with experimental values indicate the general usefulness of MNDO to study aluminumβcontaining compounds. Although results are not as good as for molecules containing only C, H, N, and O, they are nev
