The goal of obtaining accurate potential energy surfaces for the study of intermolecular forces is of fundamental importance. In this article, we propose a new method to generate a set of virtual orbitals optimized in such a way to give very compact valence bond (VB) wave functions with the same accuracy of very large VB calculations. These optimized virtual orbitals, completely free from BSSE, are developed in the framework of spin coupled theory. Test calculations on the He ... LiH system are presented together with a comparison with previous studies.

It is shown that the conventional concepts based on the use of the HOMO and LUMO are founded on very questionable assumptions. In particular, it is shown both theoretically and computationally that the LUMO of almost all neutral atoms and molecules is a continuum function with energy zero. The LUMO
The first core-optimized spin-coupled description of excited states is presented, based on the core-optimized spin-coupled theory of Gerratt and co-workers and the state-selective spin-coupled theory of Doggett et al. The approach realizes for excited states, for which Gerratt propounded for the gro
In this paper we study interactions between orbital and rotational motions of an irregular-shaped satellite of a massive spherical object. Dissipative effects are not taken into account. It is shown that spin-orbit coupling can have important effects on the orbital behavior, leading to chaotic orbit
We sketch the procedure that we are using to optimize a spin-coupled wave function built with partially orthogonalized orbitals. It is shown how it is possible to parametrize the orbitals in order to deal with independent variables while maintaining the partial orthogonalization and how to calculate
