Comparison of Condensed-Pair and Separated-Pair Models: Application to the Ground State of Benzene

A calculation is presented for the π electrons of the ground state of benzene using the condensed-pair model (method of biorbitals). The results are compared with previous calculations using the separated-pair model. It is concluded that the model is inappropriate for many-electron systems that are...

Zusammenfassung:A calculation is presented for the π electrons of the ground state of benzene using the condensed-pair model (method of biorbitals). The results are compared with previous calculations using the separated-pair model. It is concluded that the model is inappropriate for many-electron systems that are well represented as separated pairs, but will give moderately good results for systems of delocalized electron pairs.
