“…In MOM, 2 p a orbitals usually contribute more to the total overlap than 2 s orbitals, and therefore 2 p a populations are less altered by perturbations. In the RHF, and to a lesser extent the NDDO method, a 2 s electron is more tightly bound In almost all cases, constraints lower energies and SDRE (40) values, Table 9, and improve most property expectation values, Table 8, compared to the free variational results. The gross orbital populations, Table 10, indicate that single constraints mainly alter the distribution of .ir charge density between the carbon and oxygen atoms.…”
