Abstract

The maximized overlap population, defined as Σμ≠ν Pμν Sμν, and a related quantity, Σμ,ν Pμν S2μν are computed for a series of configurations. The extremum of both approximate molecular geometries, the latter with an accuracy suitable for predictive value. The maximum overlap orbitals predict dipole and quadrupole moments that give reasonable agreement with experimental values.
