Notes:
The general formulas which are convenient for cluster analysis of a configuration interaction wave function are presented. These formulas are then used for cluster analysis of the “complete” configuration interaction wave functions of the π-electronic models of benzene and butadiene obtained with a semiempirical method of the Pariser-Parr-Pople type using three different parameterizations. For butadiene the calculations are carried out with Hückel, Hartree-Fock, and Brueckner molecular orbitals. The results clearly indicate that Sinanoǧlu's statement [1, 2], concerning the relative unimportance of the linked parts of the tetraexcited state coefficients in the ci expansion, is justified for these delocalized systems.
