Notes:
A mathematical model of a molecule is proposed. The electronic structure is described using a molecular orbital wave function constructed from a small number of spherical Gaussians with optimized parameters. The models exhibit the desirable properties of numerical stability, objectivity and transferability. Results are given for CH4, C2H6, cyclo-propane, H2O, CH2O and C2H4. They can be given a chemical interpretation in terms of chemical bonds, lone pairs and atomic cusps.
