Abstract

The energies of the single-configuration lowest π - π* singlet and triplet states of some conjugated hydrocarbons have been calculated by the MC-SCF method using the conjugate-gradient technique of minimisation. The results are compared with those calculated by other methods currently in use, like (a) single-configuration calculation with VN-1 potential for virtual orbitals; (b) CI calculation involving singly excited states; and (c) TDHF method. It has been concluded that the results for the MC-SCF method are very good, considering that only a single open-shell configuration is involved.
