Abstract A form of the configuration interaction method is described which accommodates radicals having a doubly degenerate molecular orbital occupied by one or three electrons. The procedure covers all types of excited configurations corresponding formally to one-electron promotions from the ground state. The matrix elements derived are based on the SCF MO's given by the half-electron method. The computational scheme is applied, in the CNDO and PPP-like approaches, to the interpretation of the electronic spectrum of the cyclopentadienyl radical.
