Additivity model calculations of UHF spin densities and charge densities in methyl-substituted radical cations

By use of a heteroatom model for the methyl group and an additivity model for spin densities, the unrestricted Hartree-Fock after annihilation (UHFAA) results for the radical cations of naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene are used to predict the spin densities in the -electron approximation in the corresponding cations of di-, tri- and tetramethylnaphthalenes. The additivity model approach is shown to be equally successful for charge densities.
