Floating spherical gaussian orbital (FSGO) studies with a model potential: some open-shell systems

A gaussian based model potential is used within the FSGO formalism to study a series of open-shell systems (e.g. LiH⁺, NaH⁺, Li⁺₂ and LiNa⁺). Results for calculated equilibrium geometries and dissociation energies are compared to the corresponding quantities from available all-electron ab initio studies and other more elaborate theoretical estimates. The overall agreement is quite satisfactory.
