Relativistic compact effective potentials (RCEP), which replace the atomic core electrons in molecular calculations, have been derived from numerical Dirac–Fock atomic wavefunctions using shape-consistent valence pseudo-orbitals and an optimizing procedure based on an energy-overlap functional. Potentials are presented for the third-, fourth-, and fifth-row atoms of the Periodic Table (excluding the lanthanide series). The efficiency of molecular calculations is enhanced by using compact Gaussian expansions (no more than three terms) to represent the radial components of the potentials, and energy-optimized, shared-exponent, contracted-Gaussian atomic orbital basis sets. Transferability of the potentials has been tested by comparing calculated atomic excitation energies and ionization potentials with values obtained from numerical relativistic Hartree–Fock calculations. For the alkali and alkaline earth atoms, core polarization potentials (CPP) have been derived which may be added to the RCEP to make possible accurate molecular calculations without explicitly including core-valence correlating configurations in the wavefunction. Keywords: model potentials, effective core potentials, transition metals, relativistic calculations.


A new united atom perturbation theory of the interaction of two atoms at small separations is described. The key feature is a similarity transformation of the Schrödinger equation which enables the cusp conditions to be satisfied at both nuclei and preserves the correct molecular symmetry. The first-order theory is examined in detail and compared with other united atom theories. Numerical calculations are presented for the ground states of the systems H + 2 , HeH 2+ HeH, He 2 and Li + He, based mainly on Hartree-Fock wavefunctions for the united atoms, and are compared with accurate molecular calculations. The agreement is remarkably good for separations up to 1 bohr.
