Until recently quantum chemical ab initio calculations were re- stricted to atoms and very small molecules. As late as in 1960 Allen l and Karo stated: "Almost all of our ab initio experience derives from diatomic LCAO calculations --- N and we have found in the litera- ture "approximately eighty calculations, three-fourths of which are for diatomic molecules --- There are approximately twenty ab initio calculations for molecules with more than two atoms, but there is a decided dividing line between the existing diatomic and polyatomic wave functions. Confidence in the satisfactory evaluation...
