Abstract: | A number of molecular one-electron progperties have been analyzed by partitioning their electronic components over energy localized molecular orbitals (LMO ). The ammonia and ethane molecules, calculated in an Approximately double zeta qualtiy basis set, were considered. The partitioning of the electronic components of certain one-electron properteies over LMO allows a quantitative rationalization of the sensitivity of certain properties to basis set effects due to the differeing degree of difficulty of accurately determining different LMO as measures of the molecular electron density. |
