On a modified INDO SCF MO CI method

Abstract
A new semitheoretical formula for the core resonance integral which contains no arbitrary adjusting molecular parameter is introduced in the semiempirical INDO SCF MO CI method. This SCF method is applied to ethylene, formaldehyde, trans‐acrolein, trans‐glyoxal, formamide, ketene, diazomethane, acetone, and methanol as well as acetone‐methanol 1:1 hydrogen bonding models. The agreement between the calculated transition energies and the observed ones was quite satisfactory.
