Abstract

Generalized valence bond wave functions are reported for CH, CH2, CH3, CH4, C2, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, and C3H6. These wave functions have the form of valence bond wave functions except that the orbitals are solved for self-consistently (as with Hartree–Fock wave functions). General characteristics of these wave functions are discussed.
