Abstract

The James function for the ground state of H2+ is determined variationally and the electronic energy calculated over a representative range of internuclear separations. The results are compared with other simple approximations. Although it decreases in accuracy as the internuclear separation increases the James function is found to be comparable with the highly accurate Guillemin and Zener function for internuclear separations up to three times the equilibrium separation.
