Variational cellular method for polyatomic molecules: SiF4and SiCl4

Abstract
Presents the new developments in the theory and applications of the variational cellular method. The most important advance in the theory was the introduction of a continuity condition for the wavefunctions and potential at the cell boundaries. The continuity condition gave a very remarkable stability to the results for changes in the size of the angular momentum expansions. The calculated molecules were SiF4 and SiCl4, for which the ionisation potentials are better than those of the multiple-scattering or existing ab initio methods.
