## Abstract A modified conjugate gradient algorithm for geometry optimization is outlined for use with __ab initio__ MO methods. Since the computation time for analytical energy gradients is approximately the same as for the energy, the optimization algorithm evaluates and utilizes the gradients ea

## Abstract A new computational scheme integrating __ab initio__ and molecular mechanics descriptions in different parts of the same molecule is presented. In contrast with previous approaches, this method is especially designed to allow the introduction of molecular mechanics corrections in full g
From a previous published spectroscopic analysis we know that a solid sample of polyoctyl-(and polyhexyl-) thiophene is a two-phase system characterized by the coexistence of an ordered (0) and of a disordered (D) structure. We show here that by time-temperature studies at low temperature the sample
Oprirnized metal-lipnd bond dlstdnccs IXW been obrained for fitecn transition metal compie\es using PRDDO, an nppro\imatc molcculm orbital method. Of the twenty-nine unique distances, only six are in error by more than 0.05 A, and the average error is =0.03 \_a.
Ab initio calcu!ations at the SCF and CI level have been carried out for the singlet ground state of ortko-benzyne (1,2-del~ydrobenzenc) at a variety of Clv molecular geometries. The principal features of the equilibrium geometry arc: (1) an "acetylenic" ClC2 bond (1.22 A): (2) a C4Cs bond slightly
